Safe bet, Burt Reynolds Derby.

This is prior to the launch of the new Nathan Jones range of leisure wear and fragrances. Just in time for Christmas.

I'm happy to take voluntary redundancy if it's being offered...

Then imagine the creature that cooked the fucking thing. Like the island of Dr Moreau without the gene pool.

Kiev preferably. light fleeces.

Yes, the last thing we need is to find out Erasmus has been reading derogatory comments about the Eurasian flagship on here. Go go Göztepe...

If we now unveil a French scout called Pierre Rocher it will be delicious...

Only player in all those 90s sides to be on MLT’s wavelength, Berkovic close, but Ekelund’s football brain was on another level.

I'm very much against changing the badge usually, but if someone could do an artful homage of Derby Road pre-Premier League, perhaps incorporating the silhouette of a Ford Sierra, it could be our USP.

Yes, he really was something else wasn't he. Most naturally talented player I've ever seen, and likely will see.

There for 'the Channon goal of the century' also Moran at Frottage Park and some of Le Tissier's finest, but the one that always sticks in the mind is the Golac screamer v WBA, 1981, seen from front row right at the Milton Road end - ball knocked down with pace right edge of box Golac running in. You saw it coming, heard the thwack, and the pace and sweet spot was something else (much more than the video) - the epitome of a live screamer. After the game when McMenemy was interviewed, he said 'I thought my right winger had the game of his life...the problem was he should have been playing right back!' Happy days

Is your mate David Pleat's missus?

We also had Ostenstadt, Le Tissier, Beattie and Pahars in the squad that season. Two from that four in terms of calibre come January would be quite handy.

Good post and you are right to end on the critical run of games when we resume in December. Nathan Jones so far seems earnest, honest, and hard working, attributes that will get the Saints fan base on board but above anything else the current players have to fully buy in and commit too. He is spot on about the lack of aggression in this side, the inability to battle and become hard to beat. If Jones achieves that with half of them he gives us a decent chance. The other factor is clearly the incoming players in January and Sports Republic need to quite literally take one for the team here given their vanity in the summer, we will need both capability and character and they will have to pull rabbits out of the hat. So, engagement of the current first team, bang on January recruitment and a morale boosting run through late December into January - piece of piss!

Who ya gonna call?

French bulldog host.

Great stuff JRM, cheers 👍

I thought all were agreed it went as far as the Bristol Channel and gave way to rugger😀 Nailed on Bale will come home in the January window now and intriguing to find out who the gg grandfather was though, maybe Welsh also. Did we have a Cannonball Taffy O’ Jones, Percy Pugh or Griff Digger Davis in the 1940s?

Surely not CC, the NJ revolution will be in full swing by then!

We must have had that already, surely

Agree, losing Romeu has been massive, and ideally we get a decent seasoned defensive midfielder in to compliment Lavia in January.

If there is an issue I don't think it will be self-belief or work ethic.

This is the right approach, divided in opinion but we can't be divided in our support of the bloke now confirmed as our incoming manager, the players need to adopt a similar mentality. Saints fans are currently punch drunk as often is the case in our supporting cycle so let's hope a bit of Jones' evangelism and positivity is just the tonic the club needs. I hope he tears it up - COYR!

I used to love Bad Manners too, poor sod!

Come on, got to be a Jesus Jones track, if the club DJ misses the trick of International Bright Young Thing or Right Here, Right Now need fucking shooting 😀
