There's one thread for Saints Kit Speculation, and one for Saints Premier League Opponents' Kit Confirmation.

He has spoken good enough English to communicate in detail with the players during breaks of play since he arrived, I think the interpreter thing is just a smokescreen to prevent him having to do more media until he's completely confident and understands more of the media nuances so he isn't misinterpreted by hacks.

This thread is awesome, I literally can't read almost half the posts on it.

Speaking of which, (robbed from Facebook via Twitter) Roberto Mancini and David Platt fighting in Manchester :

Bogies.

I've seen a fake Adidas Villa kit and a load of fakes and mock ups of the West Ham one, but nothing credible. Anyone can feel free to post a link if they see any legit leaks not already here.

Last year's was leaked, just not to the internet. Other than that, I assume it's because either people in sweatshops don't know what they are, or that no-one cares.

How is it not ?

Of limited relevance.

Is now the time to mention that we were 98% safe after the Reading game again ?

I'd be pretty confident that Arsenal aren't going to concede 4 in 20 minutes...

Don't read this, it doesn't say anything.

Aston VillaBloody Funny Hoax :

I'm just about to get onto that.

New away Stoke shirt here, no surprises and same style as numerous already seen - though the monochrome team badge might get people excited...

FWIW your sentence construction there wouldn't give many people problems. It's the people who can't construct a sentence without ambiguities, leaving me having to deconstruct it for 5 minutes, that I have a problem with.

As someone who regularly corrects people on their spelling and grammar (to a point), I can only put my 7/10 down to a lack of familiarity with some of the terminology and not actually being taught much grammar in that way. I also want to take issue with the implication of the comma in the question regarding brother/s and sister. Agree re: "sat in the chair" as well, though I got it right anyway.

Actually, there's a bit about "loans" aka "temporary transfers" in V.4 which says : subject to any conditions imposed by the Board in the exercise of its discretion under Rule V.4.2, the minimum period of a Temporary Transfer shall be the period between 2 consecutive Transfer Windows and the period of a Temporary Transfer shall not extend beyond 30th June next after it was entered into But there must also be regulations somewhere about one month loans as opposed to half/full-season ones. That however, suggests that as Sharp was a season-long loan he's not eligible to play until the next Transfer Window opens. Here's the Handbook, anyway. http://www.premierleague.com/content/dam/premierleague/site-content/News/publications/handbooks/premier-league-handbook-2012-2013.pdf

I was referring to the bit where you said MLG's original link was bogus as it only listed 19 players. We didn't fill our allocation in the summer transfer window and there's no need to list 25, most teams don't due to the U-21 supplementary list. As for me trolling, well the fact that it took me all of about 30 seconds to find the answers to the stuff you lot are blathering on about, suggests not. We can add Sharp if we want to, with the permission of the Board. However, the grey area is there's a rule that you MUST name all professionals to make up your squad to 25 if they are available (can't find it but definitely read it last summer at some point - though there is the possibility it's been removed), and we've left Sharp, Forte, Barnard and Dickson off it, so there's no guarantee we'd be allowed to add any of them. The De Ridder example was irrelevant, he was already named in the squad, nothing else needs to be considered there.

Also : Except as provided in Rules U.31 and U.32, after the second Transfer Window in each year and on or before the third Saturday in May next following each Club shall confirm to the Secretary: U.30.1. whether the list of players provided to it for these purposes via the Extranet is accurate in all material particulars; U.30.2. in the case of each Contract Player whose registration it holds and whose contract expires on the 30th June in that year, whether or not the Club has: U.30.2.1. offered him a new contract under the provisions of Rule V.17.2; or U.30.2.2. implemented any option provision in respect of him; and U.30.3. in the case of each Academy Player whose registration it holds and with whom it has entered into a Scholarship Agreement, whether or not the Club has: U.30.3.1. (if the Academy Player is in the second year of his Scholarship Agreement) given him written notice, pursuant to clause 4.2 of the Scholarship Agreement, of the extension of the duration thereof by one year; and U.30.3.2. (if the Academy Player is in the second or third year of his Scholarship Agreement) given him written notice, pursuant to clause 6.7 of the Scholarship Agreement, of its intention to offer him a professional contract as a Contract Player. L.30 U.31. The date by which each Club is required by Rule U.30 to give confirmation to the Secretary shall be extended in the case of a Club which on the third Saturday in May in any year is still participating in the F.A. Cup, [the UEFA Champions League or the UEFA Europe League] or has yet to play a League Match the outcome of which could affect: U.31.1. identification of the League Champions in accordance with Rule C.8; or U.31.2. identification of the Clubs to be relegated in accordance with Rule C.11; or U.31.3. qualification for a UEFA competition. L.31 U.32. In the circumstances mentioned in Rule U.31, the Club shall give the Secretary the information required by Rule U.30 within 4 days of the last relevant F.A. Cup match, [uEFA Champions League or UEFA Europe League] or League Match having been played
