Maybe not but AV are hardly unlikely to change their game plan. I am a little surprised because although I think KD needs replacing not sure a 19-year-old inexperienced gk is the answer.

With so many dodgy potential investors coming out of the woodwork I really am struggling to come up with the one that would give us all the most enjoyment and keep this thread going the longest? What is the consensus on here?

Care to enlighten us you old drunk?

We need some news or even another dodgy Arab riding into town

Sorry this thread has been active so long can anyone remember that far back -

I was sitting next to my Arsenal mate but when they got their 6th I just stood up and marched out I couldn't bear it any more. No long goodbyes or even a hand shake! Had to text him afterwards to say thanks for the tickets.

tbh is wasn't really worth celebrating although thinking about it, wtf was Fox foing on the edge of the 6-yard box?

Thanks I knew I could rely on you

Allen really has chosen what side he is on and I can see why but the Trust's initiave is like sticking a plaster onto a gaping wound that needs 50 stitches. Birch must really be panicking - whatever he does, whoever he chooses it is going to end in tears. Far too many obstacles. I have a grudging respect for the Trust - for they are only doing what any fan who cared would do, but the sooner they get real the sooner the Phoenix club can be born.

To be fair thats not a bad article from a bloke - delusional as he may be - who is doing his utmost

I have just had a skate associate sneer at me on Facebook re yesterday's result - I found it incredibly ironic but you gotta let them still think they are in the real world. As you say "homeless man and conservatories" but it reminded me of that scene in the Life of Brian when the bloke had all his arms and legs chopped off but was still "offering out" his opponent. Can't be arsed to dig it out on uTube but the ridiculousness of it all provokes a wry smile. This thread should be re-titled "the gift that keeps giving".

Very astute Steve and I concur with 100% of what you say. I was delighted to get Ramirez but can't help think the lack of players with premiership experience in our signings will come back to haunt us - esp in the gk dept. Good post.

Ah thanks it does - did not know that - I wonder then are their home attendances artificially high?

Can't believe how many Saints fans who went to the Emirates yesterday sat among home fans - just wondering how they managed to get tickets and how much they paid. I got 5 tickets from an Arsenal supporting mate who's friends live abroad and can't always make it. I paid him £200 in total but they were good seats about 8 rows behind the dugouts. I must admit It was tough with the gooners jumping up all around six times but it was also interesting to hear their views on us. The guy to my right who obviously knew his football was really impressed with Ramirez.

I reckon he got a whiff that M U were interested and after that we had not a chance

Million dollar question this and also minefield territory - I say this without reading ANY replies

they are useful don't forget Wade I have always defended Alpine's right to have a view to go against the majority but his posts on this subject are offensive. I shall regard him in a different light from now on.

100% agree, Lallana was v poor and gave Fox no cover

Thought Lallana very poor yesterday

So its OK for the Sun to print what the police tell them? Er hello - just look at the Leveson inquiry to see where and how dangerous that policy became.

Of course Thatcher knew - Bernard Ingram was briefing journalists within hours that the Liverpool fans were to blame. Thatcher turned a blind eye to the S Yorkshire cover up as pay back for the support they gave her during the miners' strike.

Don't think you need the Devil's Advocate disclaimer, Trousers, I think that is exactly what he is doing and to a point he can justify it. If you were trying to sell a dodgy motor the least you could do is give it a polish. Thing is most people who have any sense will look further than the polish. Check under the bonnet of PFC and you have a clapped out engine on the point of self combustion secured to the chassis with a severly frayed shoe lace.

Not so sure comparing Mayuka to Drogba or even mentioning them in the same breath is a wise move but other than that I enjoyed the read.

The "miracle at Lewisham", away to Millwall last season when two Saints fans in the disabled section, suddenly found they had regained the use of their legs when Rickie scored the winner?
