There's no way on earth Clyne was on £10k a week or the we offered that for him to stay. We would have had players on more than that during the Lowe Premier League era, let alone three years ago. Just a nice myth that people want to believe because they can get all furious.

It's not going to get to that level of general sale. Not even looking like it will go to ST with no aways.

Lots of things aren't fair. The Milan ticketing process looks like the most rigid and intractable we've ever seen, but still people are squinnying about how unfair it might be. If anyone gets through that system and gets a ticket and in then I salute them. My original point was nothing more than a smirk at one line in that Echo report which read like they were shocked that fans might contemplate swapping customer numbers, something that has happened for as long as I've been alive and there's now two threads on that topic on here right now. I'm enjoying the bubbling righteous indignation of very sensitive souls on here about it though. If you can get in, get in.

Calling Lord Duckhunter to this thread.

This coming from the man who talks about wet tories and acts like the red blooded free marketeer on here. **** the people who miss out is pretty much your world view normally.

If those terrible people get tickets, they've got tickets. By any means necessary. Good luck to them. They're still swapping customer numbers on the WHU thread. Please stop this horror, please stop this.

Why wouldn't there be 5,000 Saints supporters there? You think it's Fulham fans trying to get tickets?

Behave yourself you soft sod. You and the Echo are pulling their petticoats up in outrage at something that happens at pretty much every major away match in the history of the earth. There's a bloody thread on the same topic for the West Ham game on this forum right now - do go on there and tell them right from wrong, won't you? There's people asking for other people's customer numbers and everything. The cheek of it.

"A few have even discussed getting a friend who meets the ticket purchase criteria Saints have set buying a seat for them." Oh, the horror. I don't know how these few even sleep at night.

Good god.

This is one individual poll and there were loads of individual polls saying leave would win. But crack on. Obviously every poll ever is wrong and means the exact opposite will happen. So Jeremy Corbyn is obviously the most popular politician in British political history because the polls say he's not and dem poll are always wrong about everyfink ain't dey dough?

They should only do polls at Corbyn rallies. There's, like, loads of people there and they are all cheering and cheering and stuff. This can only mean Jeremy is the most popular politician in the history of the world and the British population will march to the polling booths to vote him in.

I'm not sure Spurs negotiated, it reads to me like a bit of spin to potential disgruntled fans that the 5,000 could have been less but hey look it's more than the minimum. They were always going to get 5k as we did.

They weren't that wrong - on Brexit they were pretty much spot on (it was on a knife edge), with the only genuine howler being the awful "exit" poll prediction on the night. The general election 2015 polling overstated the willingness of people to vote for a slightly odd and left wing Labour leader, so if they are inaccurate then they tend to be inaccurate in favour of Labour. Meaning, if anything, these polls are understating how much people believe Corbyn to be a total joke and his actual election performance likely to be even worse than this.

If we can fire machine guns in the air and dance around every time he scores then the boy will feel right at home.

There was a time when people on this forum (hello MLG) used to say the only club information source fans needed was the official website and that independent sources of club info - newspapers, other media - were simply not required. Pointless propaganda guff like this is a perfect example of why this will never be the case. Leadre bloody Griffit says so. Give me strength.

In fairness there's been plenty of opportunity for Fonte to talk about his commitment to SFC before he went away. It's all done now and he's stuck with us for at least another season (probably for a while longer as the moment has passed for him now). He needs to get on with being any good for us on the pitch starting next week.

Unless Osman is involved, I'm out.

The chairman's explanation does read like one of MLG's more extreme apologist routines. I can almost see him saying exactly that kind of thing. We can't sign a new defensive midfielder because it would upset Romeu.

If we do actually sell 5,000 pre general sale, then I am sure there will be plenty of Saints fans in the neutral area. Still don't really understand why Milan don't offer a bigger allocation- the ground will be nowhere near full and we will get in anyway.

Jesus Christ. Let's take a moment to appreciate maybe we ain't so terribly run after all.

Err, no. VVD will definitely be gone next summer, Fonte will get the Lambert send-off, and Forster will go but only if a big club comes in to make him first choice.

"It's not for me to name names". Which is a fair enough answer. I am delighted with Hojberg but I don't know him from adam and wouldn't have suggested him in a million years. Ditto Mane, Toby, Tadic, Gaston etc. Most signings we've made that I have been delighted with I'd never heard of. My disappointment is driven by a lack of improvements defensively (CB/DM) and possibly upfront (striker) but don't ask me to name names. Quite comfortable not having a clue.

Did they even buy a centre back today/this week?

There is a nice post script to the Sissoko to Spurs story in that there are quotes from last year of him describing Arsenal as "the team of my heart" and drooling over Henry and Petit and Vieira and Steve Morrow*. All over Twitter now of course. It's a story that keeps on giving. *He might not have mentioned Steve Morrow. It might have been Chris Kiwomya.
