Bit like a match day thread when we're winning...

Stupid? Memory like a fish?

Possibly, but he'll paying the money cash and claiming back. I doubt any taxi companies still let them run an account..

Thanks, I was going to listen online later, but should be free next Friday.

Ah, I see what you mean, perhaps you do have a point... :-)

Nah, but some a lot faster than me - it's probably an age thing! My try-out at left-back didn't last long...

Is it a south American site, as the language is Italian? I'll go and and have another nose on some Italian sites.

You'd probably have to fight off Pilchards!

Such as..?

I note he doesn't say which game he uses..

They did use the word 'shambolic' though, so I think that makes up for it..

What appalling defending. I'd get bawled out by my keeper if I allowed someone that much room in the box.

I noticed when he came off it gave the distance he'd covered at 7 kilometres something. Not long after an Italian was substituted and he'd done 9k+. Not sure how the others compared, but the bits I saw were generally c**p.

But in which direction?

Lucky he didn't come from Scu.... oh, blow it, you know...

I've had a brief look at the Italian sites and now it would appear Rubin Kazan are also interested in Astori, but the mention of Saint's interest has at least been consistent for some time. Who knows, it'll all come out in the wash, and it's not worth fretting about it too much. I see we've been linked with Hooper again. Think I'll come back in a month and see what's happened..

Pretty fair summary, I'd say, although I could perhaps think of another to add to your list. It's not the opinions that worry me, although I think some people do take up certain positions just to be contrary, but it's the style and way -often rather nasty - in which those opinions are expressed. FWIW I do think Ramirez needs to produce more next season, but some people here do seem prepared to write off the investment very quickly. Pretty short term thinking, and if it were applied in their place of employment would lead to appalling staff turnover, with all that implies.

Can't see it mentioned elsewhere, but an article in The Grauniad today about Prem transfer targets: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/may/31/summer-transfer-targets-premier-league

Yep: proof-reading and typing 'n all! I shall be submitting my CV to St. Mary's soon: all those new foreign players and a teacher who can do lessons with her football boots on!

Wasn't it Terry Hurlock, who in his match day programme profile said, in the "Greatest Dislike" section: "a dodgy pint"...:-)

Keep us informed Dunc, lots of us here are interested.. PS: Regarding that fourth goal at OT: surely it would be given to him these days: it was going in and neither the defender or Saul really had anything to do with it...

You on mumsnet Bearsy? Aaargh, at the very thought!

Yeah! Prove it by perhaps telling us the whole sordid story of how you got to be banned as I seem to have missed it. You did a service on here warning me off reading sclerotic fiction by your (somewhat sexist) book review, so I feel sort of immoral obligation to speak up for you. It does seem strange: you can't say what you really think about Turkish, Alpine or CB effingFry even though it might be perfectly true..

..and then I saw the video put up by Saint_clark and my eyes are all wet and I'm sniffing like mad..

Just seen your post. Oh, please do! I'll be playing my last game on Sunday, but if I play in attack or come up for a corner I'll ask Ron for a hand in getting my head to the ball..
