In fairness, that tweet is clearly a reference to the Adidas three stripes. That is what is "back" as of today/next season.

Don't ask if you can utterly fu ck up a core commercial partnership with a worldwide sportswear brand, but how.

I'm sure whatever he did was no more than the actions of the greatest businessman that ever drew breath.

That's a pretty revolutionary and forward thinking kit, I've got to say. Them Orientals are going to lap it up*. *This is a CB Fry autocomplete kit post.

Brilliant. Worth just adding that even poor old "Hell, I remember" Dean Hammond was an excellent servant in our three year rise through the divisions. But obviously he's rubbish because he's English and honest or something.

Finishing, say, fifth or sixth this season would be a massive failure "all things considered"? Something tells me that you haven't really considered all things.

Jesus wept.

Disappointing but the fact we have let in just 17 goals all season - 17 goals all freaking season - means we will remain firmly in the hunt for top four. We're not going to win every game and we don't need to. But 8-0 hammerings do seem a distant memory.

LOL.

We are definitely definitely definitely not going to score.

I may have been living in a cave but what happened to Sportsnationhd?

Yes, incredibly easily.

If it feels good and it doesn't hurt anyone, do it. That's what I say.

Why should we give hand outs to people just because they happen to be employed by us? That's just like Tesco giving money to a corner shop or something.

Why should ticket paying fans benefit from handouts from the TV deal? It would be just the same as Tesco giving money to a corner shop or something.

That's nonsense. Clearly they weren't strong enough in the coalition negotiations to demand a vote on PR, they only got about the same number of seats in 2010 as in 2005. And if they had made such a self serving, narrow subject a "clear red line" you, I have no doubt, would have accused them of pushing their own hobby horses rather than entering coalition for the national good. Of course they wanted PR, but they were never going to get it in this coalition. And I am thoroughly looking forward to the party of seat-preserving Tory defectors demonstrating how a party can be about "principles" and not howwible old "naked power" like what the Lib Dems are. Of course Honest Nige has no interest in power at all. Arf.

"It has ended" said he. About six weeks ago.

Gemmel playing blinder tonight then.

Maybe you should consider that before you accuse others of "not understanding". And just as an additional, any other lower league club lucky enough to receive a transfer fee windfall like we did for Alex OC (not that they would without the power of a billionaire) would not then spend every last penny of it on fees for new players. They'd live within their means and spend it on the upkeep of the club. You quote your £2m thing like we somehow scrimped and scraped to the Premier League on small change. Hereford got wound up for £100k.

Now that's good.

Funded by little things like the fact we wouldn't have got anywhere near the fee for Oxlade-Chamberlain if we weren't owned by a freaking billionaire in the first place.

Absolutely. The TV deal exists because the mass market want to pay to watch Man United and Liverpool. It's only a sense of fairness from those clubs that means clubs like Saints - who no one apart from their own fanbase really want to see - benefit from the handouts. Saints in the PL are completely subsidised by the market power of the big clubs. In a way it's kinda the same as Tesco giving money to a corner shop.

It's going to obliterate our massive fanbase in Dawlish, Torbay and Stroud in a stroke.

Err, no. Clubs would just sell their own home games.

That was it. Lol.
