It's kept my accounts linked!

I suspect they wouldn't have wanted you to know that though. And can you change this bloody default from 50 seconds between posts FFS, I have too much crap to spout to wait that long..?

Well of course not, we're already sitting in it for the League matches, and unless they plan on matching the Leverkusen pricing I won't bother with any cup games anyway... Any update on Loyalty Points? Doesn't seem to be anywhere to show them?

No-one would have known if you hadn't said! Well, no-one who didn't use the "Forgotten My Password" option, anyway.

How exactly DO you save a favourite seat? I've had a look and mine says "you don't have one" but not "this is how you do it"?

I think you may have referred to our African friend as a dog in some people's minds.

With the current squad, 20th. With a few additions, as long as we buy at least one decent centre back, hopefully we'll drag ourselves up to something like 14th. With Yoshida/Hooiveld and Fonte I can't see anything other than relegation. If I had any confidence in the Board actually meaning what they said about re-investing the money in the playing squad, I'd be saying 12th. Bit pointless making guesses with the squad nowhere near finalised (I hope).

Spell hell.

Ah, but is he for swap?

Broader point re: the Thread Title - how are players who are signing for a Prem club FROM a Prem club "Premier League rejects"? Surely you have to be not performing at that level any more to be even considered as a "reject"?

I agree with that bit in bold... and I yes, you can try to teach it, but I don't doubt plenty of people have already tried to and it clearly hasn't worked.

Let's not go nuts now. Chambers was excellent defensively but didn't offer as much as Clyne going forward. Shaw was good going foward and defensively (when he wasn't upfield) but had a fairly ineffective final ball.

That was one of mine as well...

Rickie Lambert was a lumbering donkey for the past 18 months of his Saints career. Can't remember who said that one...

I'm not sure you czan be coached not to make terrible decisions, what with it being the requirement for a logical thought process and all. As an aside, it still amazes me that people think Micah Richards would be a decent signing when he has been shown time after time to be completely unreliable in carrying out simple instructions. Superb build and strength, decent delivery, strong in the air, all that stuff but constantly doing the opposite of what the manager asks for at a very top side is proving to be rather career-limiting for him. The surprise is that as City get a new manager pretty much annually, yet he doesn't seem to get the 2 or 3 matches at the start of the season for the new manager you'd expect before they get fed up of him. Maybe they all suss him out in the first couple of training sessions.

Having said that, I'm getting to the JUST BLOODY SIGN SOME PLAYERS FFS point now.

Yeah. He even managed to annoy me whilst getting them relegated, and I hate them with a passion.

Terrible decision-maker, all the talent in the world - shoots when he should cross, holds the ball up when he should beat his man, delays the pass when it should be played immediately, plays early crosses when there's no-one in the box, all that stuff. He can beat people all day, but he very rarely does anything useful with it at the end. Massively frustrating player, and that's watching him play for OTHER teams.

Well maybe Saints should have considered this before ordering loads of XLs and not enough XXLs because the size on the garment is 1 or 2 different to what people would expect? FWIW I found the sash shirt size exactly what I'd expect - they were, *ahem* "Tailored By Umbro", after all, and most of Umbro's shirts at that time used chest measurement in inches not S/M/L/XL categories (though not for Saints).

Erm, started 48 matches for them in the season before signing for us, scoring 29 goals. And 57 starts the season before. In what universe is that a "bit player"?

I read the quote, it still says exactly what it says. Maybe you should quote the post you're responding to?

No, it's because the sizes are all AT LEAST one size out. I bought last year's home shirt when it went to £15 6 weeks ago, that was a large. I haven't gone up 3 sizes in 6 weeks, the sizes are basically complete b011ocks.

In that case, Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren Forren

We signed Forren, remember? And if we're saying 2009 rather than just post-takeover, Otsemobor, Molyneux and Ryan Smith all spring to mind.

Oh yeah, we really want to be getting into the anti-Semitic stuff at the moment given that they've even been arresting Spurs fans over it...
