But somewhere along the line you will struggle to keep replacing quality with equal/better quality and will be a worse team for selling your best players. That is just normal.

Has RK not explained, at least a couple of times to journos, that the reason he was relaxed last summer, and will be again this if we lose anyone, is because most Dutch clubs are very used to doing exactly this (successfully) almost every season, and hence it is just normal business?

Thought he'd said that he'll not go to Sociedad and wants to join Liverpool, could be just press speculation on behalf of the Liverpool FC party though.

I heard that too; like I said there are lots of stories out there about him and its not at all clear where he may go. But I think he can be a top player and he also seems to be very decent guy. Add in young, english and a goalscorer then the wage bill and signing on fee will be pretty hefty

Get Ings please Les.

This. No idea where he may end up; lots of regular speculation that it will be one of the top clubs, but then he has talks with Moyes about Real Soc, which is a bit left field but not the worst move for him. Would be an excellent result if we get him

And what if Toby and Morgan are taking longer on the treatment table to ensure they are ready for their summer medicals ?

WTF? Evidence by any chance for this BS? The last time we heard this, from other ITK posters, was that Jay Rod was deliberately delaying his recovery to secure his January move. Those people have been very quiet since 1 Feb

Liverpool fan said to me how disgusting it was that Saints fans booed Lallana lol

Of course they would have cheered Gerrard if he had returned for Chelsea when in his prime, having thrown his rattle around to get the move

True - apart from Toby there is no evidence we have brought in better players.

The left back we replaced Shaw with, for a lot less cash, makes a pretty good case

I think Sterling was subbed for Lambert , the penalty taker, in extra time , so not available for shoot out.

No, that was Sturridge

Hope Brendan was ok with the match programme at least

Absolutely sweet! LOL

Lambert pen: 10/10

Lallana pen: 5/10 (very lucky the keeper guessed the wrong way, very saveable)

Lovren pen: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Nearer 130 with pens....

Liverpool in extra time now...

Could have done with them staying in Europe for the run in. Bit of a bummer.

True, but sooner or later they were going to have to play someone decent

Unlucky Poch, boo hoo

A Spurs season ticket holder told me last night that "we are really looking forward to getting Morgan in the summer". When I laughed, told him no chance, that MS is way too good for them, he could play for anyone he is that good, etc etc, he genuinely thought it was a **** take and was totally bemused. Delusion is alive and well in North London

@buckssaint. I usually ride around West Berkshire, but the trails are a bog at the moment. Also do some racing, such as the Gorricks and things like bonty 24/12 and mountain mayhem.

Impressive, cheers. Am not anywhere fast enough to consider racing. Have done a few events for fun, where my main focus is on getting to the end in a semi respectable time! Am sticking to Swinley while the trails are mud baths but hope to do bike park Wales in the summer, new job permitting

I had a Mazda RX8 (one that had been "breathed on" a bit by Prodrive). I got a track tuition day with it and asked one of the Prodrive guys, who said even though my engine was a rotary and thus in theory fragile, just use high quality oil and stick to normal unleaded. Did as he said and never had an issue

New question for our male experts:

 

Being asked out by a woman

 

Vs

 

You doing the asking out.

 

Preference?

Are you writing a guide? I assume a % of royalties are headed to SWF posters?

:lol: That used to drive me 'kin insane. "What you doing at work?" - "Well you know, getting dagger looks from my boss as the third call today goes on for another 20 minutes and the prospects of me retaining this job which pays the mortgage and all the bills and allows you to stay home and not cook, clean the house or otherwise contribute, recede by the minute".

 

I'm divorced now btw....

Wow, we have something in common! (the last bit, btw, for sure, but not the first bit). Mine came about through a Pompey Lass blessing type feature which too many "engineer" types could not ignore and eventually it turned out that she quite liked the not-being-spoken-to-at-face-level... I am now poorer cash wise, but much richer for the knowledge learning.

Ha was avoiding mega expensive outlets, though Reiss is pretty £££ I confess. Heels are a winner with any less hot outfit. Or boots (only coz its chilly )

What's the current saintsweb estimate on his value?

£35m. Can only help if Barca truly do want him. Defo too good for anyone other than City or Chelsea here

As good as Morgan is Pogba is an entirely different level, and only young still

Agree but IF Pogba is worth £80m (*) then Morgan is worth £50m. *as these numbers are likely to be ridiculous, then I would guess more like £50m for Pogba and £35m for MS

Oh dear. I think this advice column has gone as far as it can do. It has been most helpful though - thanks everyone!! Now I (and my friends) know that we need to dress as Plain Jane as possible at all times (who knew there would be so many advocates of Laura Ashley on a football forum!) Thanks for that advice guys, it's been a revelation!

 

I've got a new guy advice question for you in the morning. It will be a good one!

Does not have to be Laura A. Could easily be Reiss, Coast, Hobbs or anyone else not quite as chintsy as Laura. But aside from that, got to agree with most of the reasonable replies on here, if its a relationship you want, keep it simple, smart, classy and definitely good footwear.

Hi everyone. I'm a long time lurker on saints Web but this is my first post. I can't be bothered to get involved in the arguments on the main board. I'm on the strava club as petetallboy and bucks Saint will be pleased to hear that I'm predominantly a mtber! Having said that most of my riding at the moment is on the road. Anyone else do any racing or anything of that sort?

Welcome! Where do you hit the trails usually?

I should be there (got an appearance record to maintain, dont you know) but in an effort to keep any baseball bat activities to a minimum, I may drag my 15 year old lad with me. You can have him as a human shield, he is very compliant

Not able to score either...
