John Boy Saint

And they would settle in Southampton very quickly!

I just dont get this Forster hype, he is less than convincing, even for England he looked like he was the East Stirlingshires keeper rather than Champions League Celtics keeper, if folks were getting excited at someone like Marshall then I would understand the excitement.

Cheeky bugger, it was Pasties, and I stopped buying them so it should be the complete opposite!!

I have never ever had a 4xl before in my life and the one I got for my Birthday is quite cozy, better steer well clear of the pies for the next 10 months!!

Come on guys you just had to watch the ITV coverage of the World Cup to realise how little ITV know about Football.

FFP certainly does look like it was put together in the Snug down the Dog and Duck after an afternoon on the beer, and written down on the back of a fag packet and ratified by another group who were on the Brandy and Cigar course of a very exceptional meal, the fact that you can be operating with many Millions of pounds of debt and still be able to spend money like water without recourse is barking mad. It certainly has all gone to the dogs. I just wonder when the football bubble will burst through pure apathy: sadly when you look at Barcelona and Real getting 55% of the TV money in Spain that day looks a very very long way off.

These dopey buggers have no idea that I am on the scouting roster at Liverpool. or I'll make sure you get top dollar for Lallana, Lambert, Shaw, not sure about J-Rod but I'll do my best The Frog and the Croat can sort themselves out............... Just don't you 2 clowns forget my 10%!!

12th with a promising nucleous of a team that won't be raped and pillaged next summer add a few for the season after and smash the league to bits in Ronald's second season.......... Then launch our own raiding party for the season after that.

The Titanic Effect (leaving Southampton FC without the fans blessing) strikes again.......... Bloody fantastic!!

Do you honestly believe Jose was going go to talk to the press over a £50k per week wage demand upsetting the balance at Chelsea as much as he did? £100k + was the generally known tempting bag of sweets to lure him away. That photo of him looks like he has been getting it on with the girls The Sun said he had been bothering whilst at the World Cup

£120k per week 4-5 year deal over 4 years that's £24m just for sitting on your arse doing chuff all: at 19 where's the motivation!!??

With that in mind how about what Holloway when at Blackpool got hammered for, playing a weakened team?! Just a thought to throw into a tame debate.

Has it really taken this long for that thought to seep into your head?

Very true. i can't see this exodus being allowed without it being covered off, we just have to hope that it doesn't turn out to be the Dutch experiment MKII. On the flip side Spurs sold Bale then went on a spending orgy on allsorts who seemed to struggle to gel yet they ground out results and stumbled into Europe. However much RK is on he is certainly going to be earning his corn to match last seasons end position.

As the Geordie ranter said after we had given them a good seeing to last season: "as for Southampton they went in dry man, they didn't even bother to lube up!!". If it turns out to be true this one will bloody smart.......... If Morgan goes too might as well take the whole bottle of Amyl Nitrate and still put a lump of wood between your teeth. Still, results in a bloody big war chest compared to previous years. i do hasten to add I am a glass half full type of chap, if my bed is wet then I have drunk more than I have ever drunk before but I still have half a glass left!

If you have an iPad with films on (I know following your comments I could have stepped into the twilight zone) you should also get a better viewing experience with the sound blue toothed through it................. And as for Saints You Tube channel listen to Ronald's very first interview, Wow! It sounds even more like it was recorded in the public toilet than it did through little device speakers!!

Surprised no one at Spurs accused us and and our Manager at the time, Harold Redknapp, for tapping up his Son to come to us over the Christmas Turkey at Redknapp Towers all them years back!!

For a player with the Footballing Holy Grail tag of having played Champions League, when he was given a bash between the sticks for England I felt that he was as much a Rabbit in the headlights as Gazza has often been for us. Been away for a few week so not fully up to speed on ALL the goings on, what happened with our rumoured interest in Marshall as considering the rubbish being played in front of him he came out of Cardiff's relegation smelling not too bad.

We had the usual very nice ones next door great fun round theirs watching the Footie on Dutch TV, when they are together on mass they are very confident to the point of being worse than boozed up Brits on tour........... Best example Whitey is down Can Padre Chicken and Chips in Pals. French were indeed very nice this year.

Blimey the Woolston Ferry song has been on the agenda for chuffin years, its taken longer to catch on than if you did go to town via Bitterne via China hopping on one foot!! Its a shame that despite the razor sharp wit of football fans a song like this seems just too difficult to learn. Shame really as it would be nice to have our own Bladon Races type song and this fits the bill nicely.

I would say that Koeman getting Dejan somewhere on the bus is a positive. What makes me smile is Samuel said Rooney grew up on the streets playing football and that he was made for the game against the Macaronis......... Just shows the guy knows the square root of zip in reality!

Awwwwww it stopped and left me hanging!! I can relate to the story so far, when I was 4 1/2 we moved from Southampton to Silchester in North Hampshire it felt like miles away from civilisation Leeds Utd were in their pomp when Football appeared in my life, everything stopped in our house for the FA Cup final but my Mum and Dad were not Football fanatics. All the kids at school were Leeds fans, like with you it was the sheep effect at Primary school, I even got a Leeds kit complete with number 4 on the back one Christmas, all of a sudden all my school mates were following Derby and QPR as they hit an upwards curve. The confusion was tangible. Not sure exactly when the turning point was but probably the 7 goal smashing by Leeds triggered the thought of hang on the City of my birth has a team, the cup run cemented my following and the win put a big exclaimation mark on it especially as I was staying with my Grandparents in Southampton in the week of the run up to the final. My first game was in similar circumstances at secondary school when I uncovered a little cell of Saints fans all older than me who said why don't you come with us on the shopping bus to Southampton and watch a game it's only 50p! That was it Notts County 3-1 my hero from the Echos my Gran saved for me Phil Boyer scored a brace........... Never looked back since. Keep going Mush!!

The Titanic effect of leaving Saints without the blessing of the Saints fans (someone once wrote in a Hagiology book you don't choose to support Saints the Saints choose you) is looming on the horizon.

Neighbour on Holibobs is a Twente fan and very disappointed to see him go, but gives his congratulations to Saints for such a great signing.

On me Holibobs so not fully in touch. If Lovren has gone on strike I hope that we ain't paying him, and if that tosspot Gordon Taylor the PFA union boss pokes his five eggs in we tell home to F off!! i shall return to staring into the bottom of an emptying glass.
