I see others have already picked up on this point, and it'll be interesting to see what will happen if they don't. I still have the programme from the boxing day match against Exeter: doubt if they'll be getting 30k crowds anytime soon.. I'm still tempted to dip in to the world of betting as 66-1 for relegation looks tempting.

And that's why they're stupid...

You want sympathy _here_?

Don't forget your scallop shells!

who went and ****ed in a bucket The view was enthralling The taste was appalling Quite put me off wanting to f**kit

Hmmm, yes. What if they go pop and don't complete the season? Is there one of those strange rules - Rule 4 or summat? You can see I don't normally bet...

I'm not sure Inter have the financial clout: just seen an article in today's Calciomercato on Inter ( http://www.calciomercato.com/inter/caciomercato-inter-duncan-blocca-l-arrivo-di-un-grande-centrocam-193830 ) which talks of 'risparmio' (saving) and 'spese contenute' (restrained spending) and no mention of Banega.

What's Richard Nixon doing in that photo?

Oh gawd, I'm losing my "PTS Nutjob" status!

Can't see it myself Rallyboy. Whilst they might get a taxi firm in Portsmouth to allow a leeetle credit, or the programme printers to be one match in arrears on payment nobody else is going to extend them any credit, and no bank is going to grant them anything other than a nominal working overdraft (if that).

Never stopped me....

He could probably move faster if the ears were pinned back a bit.. On second thoughts, having seen the video they probably help in some way: one of the more impressive Youtube videos we've all been fooled by...!

That's great Tokyo! To be honest I was laughing _with_ the poor b*****s..

Misheard lyrics - otherwise known as Mondegreens - from the mishearing of a folk song - The Bonny Earl of Murray - "and hae laid him on the green"...

I'm right-footed and it's definitely a lot stronger but I'd be embarassed if I couldn't use my left reasonably well, so I'm always slightly surprised when professionals can't perform better on their weaker foot. My short stay at left-back this season wasn't due to my weak left but lack of speed, so back more centrally I went... Fortunately Clyne and Shaw have the pace I lack.:-)

"Anyone else not exactly thrilled by Lovren?" The problem with this is that it's what in legal terms would be called a 'leading question' or, in SW terms, an 'Alpine question'. There may be problems in the way he plays, but you seem to have jumped on all the negatives. A bit of blah, blah, blah, and then you say you are 'left with a bitter taste in my mouth'. 'Can do much better' and then a facepalm... Perlease! Why can't you use reasonable language? "What do you think of Lovren, doesn't he look a bit error prone?" and we could all have discussed it reasonably; after watching 4 hours of videos, naturally... As it is, yes, you come over as a troll and a bedwetter, and I hope my explanation whypeople think that will help you improve your posts here.

So looks like we'll be getting cheap dodgy shirt copies in the future then, with our expanding Asian market? :-) You never did sort out those PTS Nutjob ones..

You sure you didn't edit your original post -"even Lyon"? No, good analysis. It's also interesting that all our signings have obviously been given the same story of ambition: Lovren "I’ve spoken a lot with the Chairman and the coach, and this is a great project. ,SNIP> I have it in my mind to do something big, and I see the same thing in the Club. We are a young team, and I am a young player also so I hope I will stay here for a long time." Time for someone from Serie A perhaps? Presumably, like the rest of this bloomin' economy, football works 'in nero', and now the Guardia di Finanza are clamping down perhaps working abroad holds more interest. Boh? If only there were a decent Italian restaurant in Southampton!

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...
