So what? We're talking about attacking midfielders. Rob Green doesn't go against my theory at all being that he was first choice keeper at the last fu cking world cup.

You so adore being a pedantic arseflap so here's some back. You do understand what the phrase "YOU ARE THE ONE THAT SAID" means and what the phrase "I DIDN'T SAY YOU DID MENTION" means and how those two phrases are opposite to each other? Yes?

How on earth am I contradicting myself? Holt scored a decent return of goals but got nowhere near the England squad. Maybe if he'd scored 25 or 30 he would have finally got the call up instead of Carroll who got three or four or whatever it was or Defoe who got slightly more but not many. That is my point. Players from Norwich or Saints have to massively over deliver to get picked for England. That's how it goes. That's my point. True for Holt, true for Lallana. That's my point. No contradiction whatsover. You are a fuc kin g nutjob.

...and Holt scored more than Defoe and Carroll, both went to the Euros. Funny how life isn't like a computer game, isn't it.

Where did I mention 38 games you freak? I stand by what I said, although at no point do I mention 38 games.

Downing plays for Liverpool. Lallana doesn't. Holt scored 15 last season and got nowhere near the England squad. The point is Lallana is going to have to score a hatfull of goals and/or have a breathtaking season to get anywhere near the England squad, especially with the legion of established names of attacking midfielders already in front of him in the queue. Being "quite good" for Saints is not going to get him picked, unless there is some kind of plane crash with the current England squad on it.

Does it differentiate us from Man U, Liverpool or even Arsenal? If it is what it is then its not unique. It's a red shirt.

Seems like a pretty low return for being lumbered with an utterly sh it kit for a season.

In the Echo. On here. South Today. One piece on Sky Sports News because it is July and nothing else is happening (and they would have done something even if it was stripes again). No one outside of the Saints bubble will care.

Will it balls. No one will care and certainly not an innovation like the sash was. People don't half get carried away on here.

And quite right too. If you're playing second tier football you're not good enough for international football. Agree on Lallana. No compelling case for him to play for England. He might step up but competition for his position is fierce and can't see him improving that much. He'd have to score 15-20 goals next season.

Why on earth would all the best players in England be bumming about in the Championship? Deluded.

Jees. Lallana not that good. Cork not that good. Lambert not that good. J Rod the only one with a realistic chance because he's a striker, we're light on strikers and if he has a Beattie-like hot streak could easily get a run out in a friendly.

A thousand times this. Wheeze of the week, mate. So, you like a bit of chess then? etc.

Scrap money back, scrap guarantees?

Err, no. How about the agent is full of it and is talking up interest in his own player to get the best deal for his player, and to tout him about to any Premier league club. "Unnamed Premier League club" is agent code for "no club in particular" or "several clubs, none of which have made a firm move yet, but this might flush them out".

Jay Rod will play for England before Lallana, who I think never will. There. I said it.

Where have I said this?

Correct. For example we are: filling the expensively assembled new ground with cut price 'flexible' tickets filling the new ground with thousands of people that aren't Saints fans at all just people that want to see a Premier League match filling the ground on the back of our gigantic catchment area stretching from Dover to Cornwall to Bristol and Guildford fill the ground with thousands of saints fans who previously have never even tried to get tickets but probably will with ten thousand more to choose from filling the ground with the wives and girlfriends that tagged along to our Wembley day out filling the ground because of Chelsea in 1983 or something filling the ground because they said man couldn't walk on the moon and the latest wheeze... filling the ground with people from Portsmouth, city of our hated rival. (this of course wouldn't happen in any other city in Britain). Just Southampton. So a pretty long list of speculation guesswork and wild assumption, neatly dressed up in a red and white 'I'm a super fan, me' scarf. And desperately trying to make anyone who disagrees with them as a anti-Saints pessimist. I honestly think it is only a about five people on here that beleive any of this horsesh it but you have to admire their perserverence. The rest of us? Hey, lets wait and see.

This kinda pi ss es on your previous ramblings about clubs geographically close together being unable to grow like MegaSolentSaints doesn't it? If you believe the above then the people of Derby will be buying red scarves by the truckload if Forest go up. Not such a barrier after all. Thanks for clearing that up.

So, whats that about mis-quoting... Jesus christ help us.

Its also pretty simple. These people will be accounted for in our forthcoming leap in gates back up to 31-32k. These people are not a reason for 8,9 or 10 thousand extra seats at significant cost.

...and our resident forum geniuses like to say that clubs in cities with other clubs close by don't have our potential because the fanbase is split. But for Saints turns out this isn't a problem after all because Portsmouth is a potential hotbed of Saints fans. Basically Saints are simply amazing and all the rules that the forum genuises apply to other clubs, other cities and other catchment areas don't apply to us.

...

Hmmmm. Thanks for saying that. Hope your clueless chum Wes Tender is reading. It is of course bo ll ocks. We've had this apparent gigantic catchment for decades. All these "crammed together" clubs in the midlands though get perfectly comparable gates to us, often bigger. Our potential to grow gates is no bigger than Forest, Derby or Leicester, or Sheff Weds or whoever. The catchment area is just thickos scrawling red lines on a map of the south of England. Total, utter myth.
