Nice to see some pre-orders arriving. Mine is yet to appear.

Excellent, looking forward to picking up a copy. Any chance of a preview of the foreword?

Would do a job I reckon. But 'meh.'

http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/boro-pull-out-chase-sign-11402681 I was wrong.... looks as though they just didn't want to be played. So possibly more similar to the Shaqiri suggestions.

From memory, it was 'Boro declining to further their interest because he is owned in a rather 'odd' way. There was all manner of issues we had to overcome when we signed him, I believe those hurdles still exist.

Lets start with a trade union, see how we go from there. Couldn't possibly be warped into anything else.

No, Margate is UKIP territory. Too many acronyms to keep track of.

Turkey do have form for this kind of thing.

Russian backed then?

What is the motivation here?

One would presume it's similar to the 'Colinjb has posted about a shirt, time to roll out the same comments as usual' face?

A bit similar in style to our first all-red nasty in 2012. With that new/old badge though, looks really distinctive. Wonder what the Wednesdayites think of it.

Felt inspired to blog for the first time in 2 years... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/entry.php?131-Jos%E9-Miguel-da-Rocha-Fonte

Jose Fonte is my favourite current player. A cornerstone in our rise from league 1, it's no coincidence that three already excellent centre backs (Lovren, Alderweireld and Van Dijk) have looked even better alongside him. It's also certainly no coincidence that Portugal became rock-solid with him at the back, doing the dirty work while Pepe takes the plaudits. He is the relentless, ever present machine that keeps our, and your foundations strong. That he has won one of the biggest trophies in world football as a Saint is wonderful, it will always be something I treasure. Cedric, it was good to see what he can do, but he was pushed out of the team by right by a back up utility player from the dutch league. Whether he wasn't gelling with our ex manager or just distracted by the upcoming tournament, not sure. He has a lot to prove this season though.

Is anyone having difficulty getting their season ticket discount online?

Nothing to worry about there.

I like Yoshi. Great third choice, I would only look to bring someone else in if they are markedly better then VVD or Fonte, frankly, I don't think there are many available to fit that bill.

Good news. Really warmed to him since he joined and he fully deserves the new deal. Our squad is coming together for the new season nicely. #wemelton

Great stuff. Welcome aboard Pierre Hojbjerg!

He will be missed. But for the money he is on, I do not blame him for moving. Two years of that and his family will be set for generations.

Let me think, hang on........ I can do this.......

In modern browsers, there is room for Fonte alongside the existing chaps. José, I salute you.

An absolute hero. Bloody love the bloke.

Jose, Cedric!!! YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fight will be to get to the highest rung possible. We are on a lower rung..... which is the implication of your double negative. So i'm not sure what your point is..... Should we not try to push on?
