Poor effort Lallana; should have scored.

Surely it has 0-0 written all over it....? ;-)

Hoorah. Well worth his nomination. Good stuff, and well done Adam!

Just out of interest, why have you put a question mark at the end of your first sentence....when it's not a question?

Yes, I see what you mean. Would make an interesting sociological study wouldn't it? Knowing that you don't (legally) have to buy something but knowing at the same time that not doing do could force ST prices up. Really fascinating.

True Steve, but if one were playing devil's advocate, one could say that you need a season ticket to see every game guaranteed, but you don't need to buy a shirt; it is not obligatory, even if it is (as you imply) a rip-off. I would much rather have cheaper season tickets and expensive shirts that I can just ignore.

I would certainly concur with your last sentence.

I think anywhere between 0 and 20 players will be sold, give or take. I am guessing that those with a "glass half empty / completely empty" perspective on life will tell us (on the basis of pure conjecture, or because they are just miserable) that all our best players will be sold, and that we will buy nobody of any use/value. Those whose glass is neither half full nor half empty (if that is possible!) will take a more reasoned approach, which may or may not prove to be correct. The glass half full brigade will expect us to keep Shaw, Lallana and Schneiderlin and will also expect positive signings. There you go = that should cover it all. Might as well close the thread now before it is derailed by the usual suspects.

1 hour and 40 minutes and counting....really poor service. Isn't the internet supposed to be the antidote to queuing?! If I drove down to Southampton from home and queued at the ticket office I would probably get a ticket more quickly!

Same for me; been in queue for 50 minutes now....

They tend to have the opposite effect in my experience....

Sorry Monk, but who or what is SGP?

Damn that woman.

Maybe they'll get a cancellation and then give it to Jay. ;-)

One day, Alpine, you, I and everybody else on this board will die. What we do between now and then is worth worrying about; not what Saints do or don't do. You can't control it, so there's no use in fretting. Enjoy the ride wherever it takes us. Not meant sarcastically or patronisingly at all; just my four penneth worth.

Jesus Christ - bet Gazzaniga is glad he has so much support on here. He must love being a Saints player. Why don't we just get a message to the Saints fans who've schlepped up to Manchester to turn round and come home; no point staying to watch is there? Whatever happened to supporting the team??

One of the articles mentioned a Sunderland club secretary resigning or leaving as a result of this error - Liz Coley. Am I imagining it or did she once work at Saints?

Yes - one that has his own players and fans baffled.

Goooooaaaallll Rickie!!

Updates here

Away shirt doesn't have the pinstripes; home shirt does (blue on yellow). Away shirt looks very dull. Awfully boring if true.

You'll get nowhere with that rational, sensible non-sensationalist malarkey on here m'boy.

That's the thing, DD - it's another world these boys live in. Too much money and too much time; not sure I would have the time or head space to think about how to get my name on a personalised plate, even if I did have the money!! Too busy doing real-world things!

Anything close to how I felt leaving WHL after beating Spuds 3-1 a decade or so ago, and putting Hoddle out of a job, will do just fine....

We must be the same age, because that is precisely what I was thinking! Made me smile!
