So you didn't think we'd spend it all in one window, neither did I and neither did pretty much every Saints fan alive, but you are still having a gripe at Krueger for supposedly inferring something which pretty much no one including you took out of what he said. How, exactly, does that work?

You don't need to be the most intelligent poster the world has ever seen to know we clearly were not going to spend all the money in one window. Most normal humans with an interest in Saints realised this.

Only the most spectacularly dim Saints fans thought for a second we would spend all the money in this window. Well done. You made the cut.

Are you a Leicester fan now, then?

So after a summer ranting about player sales and all the money going into a Swiss bank account (how's that working out for you?), you're now ranting because we haven't sold Morgan. Never knowingly not swivel eyed.

You're right it isn't. Not a reason for it to be locked, though. The best thing about this thread is it genuinely does keep one topic in one place: there is only one thread about that lot down the road and this am it. It's a rare demonstration of good forum discipline. There could be an argument to change the name of the thread, which has happened a couple of times (most hilariously when Fitzhugh went apesh it on the back of one quite neat title change). As this is no more than a fine receptical for all Skate news/opinion/analysis maybe we should just call it "The Dumping Ground: The Pompey thread".

Looks that way now. Trying to work out whether him playing in the first team already makes it easier or harder to take. If he was rotting I'd be annoyed "You don't even need him Arsene" etc but this feels even worse. Gaah. Oh well, hashtag we march on or something.

Go on then, here's mine. Prefab Sprout - Swoon Morrissey - Vauxhall and I Roxy Music - Roxy Music (debut) Black Box Recorder - England Made Me Roddy Frame - Surf Hideously, hopelessly white-boy, I know, but then I will forever be a hideous, hopeless white boy. I do own one of those Public Enemy records as well, though. And Born To Do It by Craig David.

Fair enough. In the last few months it is interesting the level of "dirty money is so horrible" puritanism now on this forum, a puritanism which wasn't quite in evidence this time a year ago when finishing fourth (which let's all remember is winning cluck all) was the pinnacle of our ambition because it gave us possible access to, well, lots of lovely money. Strange. Still, lets see if those people might just lower themselves to the in-the-moment joy of a Wembley day out or a cup win this season, eh?

If, say, we'd kept all those players, with hefty old pay rises to fend off Champions League suitors - around £100k a week for each one - and then added to the squad with three more stars on £100k a week and £50m odd in transfer fees, would that have been fine, or would you still be still be beginning to depise modern day football and complaining that Sky have destroyed our game?

Correct, clearly no release fee. Will always look at Chambers sale as a Koeman call. I think the manager decided that for a right back in a position he was already strong, the money was plenty and he didn't want to go to war over Calum Chambers. So he took the money.

Get a grip you total fanny. Guess what, next week's one is about Yoshida. Oh no. It's about Frank Lampard. Oh, and theres a joke about Man U there too. Almost like they take the pi ss out of everyone, ain't it?

I like to see old stalwarts reinvent themselves as new characters on here. It's a bit like the WWF in the eighties. Aziz is a new face I am delighted to welcome to the forum. http://www.notinhalloffame.com/UserFiles/Image/article_images/WWE/The%20One%20Man%20Gang.jpg

They will vote no. Far too many sensible people who, when faced with it in the ballot box will just think - "what's the point, really?". Voting Yes is not going to magically turn Scotland into Sweden like the Nats will have people believe. Just a heck of a lot of ball-ache for things to be not much different.

His blathering on the £ proved beyond doubt he is making it up as he goes along. If in the highly unlikely event of a yes vote I think there would be an immediate campaign in the rest of the UK for us to have a say on whether/how we share our currency with a foreign country.

Of course it won't but fat Salmond has promised it if he wins. It's not his to promise. We should be countering that sh it with promise to bow to the will of the entire UK population.

Joleon Lescott on 98k? More than Dzeko. Brilliant.

It would be a delicious cheap shot but I am surprised that idea has not even been floated to put the shi ts up the "don't knows" in Scotland. There are so many things a yes vote would impose on the rest of the UK that we haven't voted for: unilateral nuclear disarmament for a start. Cameron should, either officially or leaked out unofficially, announce a referendum on currency union/separation terms etc etc within a year of a yes vote. Hard not to see an effing landslide voting for whatever the sh ittest deal for the jocks would be. What larks. It'll be no anyway, David, so just do it for the LOLZ.

On Saturday we aren't under dogs and frankly we will be expected to win. Let's see how that goes. I think we will win, by the way, but that game will be a better measure than yesterday. And sure we can finish 8th, but maybe not the runaway 8th of last year.

We're in the Premier League due in no small amount to the benevolence of a billionaire owner, good fortune not afforded to clubs of equal size to us who could only dream of our circumstances. So I don't quite understand why certain Saints fans now think they have the monopoly on hand-wringing maudlin gripes about how jolly awful the money - obsessed Premier League is, when that same money has allowed us access to it. Clubs are above other clubs because of their bank balances, which is as true of us as it is Manchester City. I intend to enjoy this season, and on yesterday's evidence it looks like being a blast.

Crab Lungs will be here to fill you all in on all those scandalous details about how our club is a total sh ithouse. I mean, sometimes they refused to return some of Adam Lallana's five phone calls a day demanding a transfer. Poor old Dejan Lovren spent his summer waiting for Les Reed to call him, staring at his mobile like a lovesick teenager and nothing. And now, boo hoo, we've gone and signed a goalkeeper better than our current goalkeeper. Oh, it's all so awful, it really is.

"All this anti-Saints stuff"? Like what?
