Absolute crap. We need a quality goalscorer.

Anyone sneering at this comment needs to give their head a wobble. The schedule has been tight, a) Europa League and b) f**ked over by TV at Christmas, plus the League Cup run. And yes, had we had a proven goalscorer on the pitch, a lot of those chances wouldn't have been missed. I don't see how anyone can disagree with this assessment. Bunch of helmets is too polite, but The9 is a nice guy, so I forgive him for that.

F**king hell. I give up on football.

Good!

F**k it, who cares. If you're paying me £100k a day to play in some duff provincial Chinese team to win the Ssanyong Musso Chinese Football Association Cup ... I'm in. Football history my arse.

He'll be off to China. They're all off to China. Who can we sign from division 2, like the 80s, proper football signings. Love it!

Massively agree too. There's not much more I can add to this.

I'll take it. (It's f*cking obscene).

They can both p*ss off, along with all the other mercenaries in the league.

I noticed more disabled people in the front row when I was lower down, which I hadn't really noticed before - felt sorry for their poor view. Do we not use the 'cut out' bits of the stadium anymore? I'm not sure what else to call them, but halfway up the stands, the red boxes if you like? Or are they more expensive?

Opposite to you, I was pretty near the front, in the Chapel corner - which was a dreadful view in terms of being able to see clear tactics, I've never sat that low down before in the corner but thought I'd give it a go, never again!

Just the 3 for me as well; FA Cup 2003 JPT Last night I could have gone to the ZDS, but still, that's a shocking return really!

A good article that, well done Ben Fisher!

That site smacks of posters who never go to Arsenal matches ...

jesus christ.

Yawn.

Apparently it was 2015!?

When you consider that it is a short career - THAT is where testimonials come in.

Here's the answer (much lower than I thought in all honesty); Last season, average basic pay in the Championship was £324,250 per player per year, before appearance money and bonuses, while it was £69,500 in League One and £40,350 in League Two. In the Premier League, first-team average salaries were around £1.7million last season, rising above £2m with 'routine' bonuses

All sounds like a sensible plan to me. I think we'll all take the 'best of the rest' as being a sensible & realistic target - but a cup final will be nice! Actually, a win as I'm sure it'll be more likely we'll get back into Europe that way than finishing 7th (best of the rest position)?

Hearing rumours that Shance has deleted his Saintsweb account!!

Exactly this. I supported him, but he has to go if this is true, which I believe as I know VFTT wouldn't post this without a decent source. I also suspect the players who have been the most sh*t (Fonte, Forster, Long, Bertrand, in that order) are probably the main ones behind this.

Must admit, he's (Black) the one new addition that I've had iffy feelings about.
