Seems to be about two players Saints actually signed compared to two players we haven't signed.

Tell them what? He's not representing Britain. I was supporting him as they were but he isn't representing Britain. Like Golf, it's a sport of individuals, with exceptions for the Davis Cup/Olympics.

Not really representing anyone is he, really. It's not the Olympics.

To be fair, he hasn't started a game in weeks.

As a child in Merseyside, Rickie Lambert did little else except dream of playing for Southampton.

The possibilities are endless.

Yawn. Of course it is possible. And also pathetically easy to imagine with pretty much zero creative thought whatsoever. But congratulations on your breathtaking leap of imagination that the team you support could finish in sixth place in a league table. Quite astonishing.

God job no one has said they are then.

All aboard the bullsh**t rodeo. What possible sensible point are you making with this tangent?

....

I wasn't being pendantic but never mind.

That's it? That's your routine for this season? Jees. Come back with something a bit more creative Dalek. Remember you have to maintain this level of hilarity all season.

And the other side of this coin equally is that we can do it we can do it Cortese said it and he's never wrong we can do it we beat City last season and everything we can do it we can do it we are signing some new players we can do it and pathetic old midtable? Pah.

If we sign a couple more in the £8-12m bracket I will expect us to finish tenth minimum. Otherwise, what's the point? Highly unlikely we will finish any higher than eighth. Next season I can't see us doing what Allardyce did at Bolton, or Pardew at Newcastle or McClaren at Boro. Don't think we'll be quite that good. But we can try.

Not the first series, but yep. All she's famous for is being on a reality TV series. Obviously oozes class.

Just responding to your post making a general point and not at all about the McCanns. The government told me to post it.

Where's the blood, Bazza?

So he could be merely hours away from magically changing from a money grabbing typical greedy footballer scumbag to the perfect signing, a young and hungry player signed on to the "project", our vision for the club and thrilled about the young and hungry talent he'll be playing with.

Blue shorts are our traditional shorts because we wore them sixty years ago. That's tradition, unless you are Leeds whose tradition started in the sixties. Or Saints, whose traditional kit is this years kit, whatever it looks like. So forget that thing about blue shorts. Or remember it. Or something. Remember when Liverpool wore stripes?

Sh* t stirring Brazilian lying journo scum.

Shuush. This is a golden age of discourse with the fans. We've got Twitter and everything. We know more than we've ever known before ever ever.

Whatchu' talkin' 'bout, Willis?

I think they did - there definitely were mock up shirts of those designs. Presumably The9 spends hours on Ebay desperately hunting them out.
