In my mind there is only one certainty. We won't all three go straight back up.

🤣 Honestly spent too long zooming into the picture I completely missed the names at the bottom. Idiot 🤡

Who's that on the front row sat next to Graham Baker? (not Mark Wright)

This is the greatest kit we ever had (white socks though) Just perfect.

I can't believe they have ditched any semblance of our traditions with a kit exactly like some of our most famous players wore famously thirty years ago.

This is like going round and round in circles on bikes maybe

A couple of years back Benali and Kenzie were on the website selling retro versions of the original shirt. It sold out in an incredibly short time....why are Saints fans buying it if it has no "semblance of our traditions"?

Already answered that question sweetheart.

My brother in law has got this mug, he's had it few years and I have definitely drunk tea out of it at my sisters house. Next time I'm round there I'll tell him it has no "semblance of our traditions" and get him to chuck his season ticket on the fire.

"Danish vanity project"

No, but it's fucking moronic to describe a retro kit that many fans liked and loads of iconic players for us wore as "...ditching any semblance of our traditions".

....ditched any semblance of our traditions

...ditched any semblance of our traditions....

....Ditched any semblance of our traditions....

Well, it's the Denmark kit, so on those terms I quite like it.

Except he got a big pay rise at Everton. Then went on to manage one of the world's biggest football clubs in Barcelona and his own National team. I very much doubt he would want to change that.

Was also a deadline day transfer. Imagine the pissing and moaning if we'd sold Mane with no replacement on August 31st that summer.

It wasn't "very low at the time" so there's that. It was Liverpool's record outlay at the time so not very low on any measure.

Exactly. I love that on this forum there's still this belief that if we flog Lavia this summer we get all the money and City get nothing because the buy back isn't until next summer hahahahaha fuck youuuuu City

Jesus wept.

Fair enough, thanks - like others have said, there's nothing to say that guy was our first choice or anything. No sleep lost over this guy.

Ings, Vestergaard were not "buy develop and sell" players for a start. We spent a year trying to get Ings to stay, it became obvious he never was going to. You realise that players and agents understand the value of one-year-left as well? You realise they sometimes will aim to get to that? The idea that two years ago we should have given Vestergaard a 3 or 4 year extension sounds fucking mad to me, especially as we pretty much got our money back when we sold him. If you mean we should have sold him a year earlier - well, to who and for how much? Clyne I can't remember, but if you're going back that far to make your point suggests it's not the endemic problem you are making it out to be. Salisu probably should have flogged him January a year ago, but then that would have been a meltdown on here as well. Again, as with Ings, players and agents know what they are doing. I don't believe that the club should make sure every player in the club should all have two years left at all times because that would cost us an absolute fortune, ties the hands of any future managers and puts us in a very weak position and helpless to agents for pay rise pay rise pay rises for any old player every summer. Should we have lobbed £50k a week for four years at Ballard a year ago? Would that have aided his development?

"The government locked down to be popular with the electorate even though they all knew it was completely unnecessary" is a fucking stretch, lads.

Exactly that. Either way I don't remember reading anything linking Maresca with our vacancy anyway. Can anyone remember where this was actually said?

I know what happened there, and I'm not his mate. What happened there is he did not ever get a job at either of the Milan clubs. Ever.
