  1. Hear hear! Guly is a limited but useful player where we are now, he is a great option when we need to close games out at this level as he isn't afraid to play simply; Namely close down the opposition and keep the ball against a tiring team who are chasing the game. That the option is not available to use over the next two months is a pity. We havn't been afraid to cast aside those are are seen as not good enough, Dan Harding, Billy Sharp, Lee Barnard, Aaron Martin, Dean Hammond. Guly is still valued, as you say that speaks volumes.
  2. Knee operation apparently: From http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/24863760
  3. Sod the caption competitio, that's just a bloody good pic of our coach getting stuck in with the players. The looks of fun on their faces say a lot.
  4. And expect resistance. The higher we go the better the test. The joy of having a single minded b@stard in charge.... is that he can be a single minded b@stard. It can be a double edged sword, but thankfully the good is meaningful.
  5. He would want to be paid off surely. Will have earned more in the last 36 months then he would be able to in an entire league one career.
  6. Ignoring my efforts to get things back on track after the incident, really lads....... Come on! Addressing Lighthouse's point:
  7. You may be right, but at least the trend is that our English players are being recognised. With Clyne, Shaw and Ward-Prowse also on the fringes it really is an amazing time as a fan, we are not just making waves in the league but also in the very fabric of the national game.
  8. The first league game of the Championship season, started alongside Fonte. Didn't put a foot wrong. Memories of the cup game v Blackpool stick. Seabourne and Martin started, Seabourne was by far the more composed and able player. Martin was never going to be top class but it's great to know a local lad played a part in our rise. He will be League 2 standard at best if he needs to lead a defensive line, as a team/squad member though he is easily league standard.
  9. Thankyou, thankyou for the needless OTT. You must be having a quiet night ooop north.
  10. Bugger, that's us losing then.
  11. Yes, yes and yes.
  12. I stand by my judgement. It helps Shaw that he is the undisputed number one left back at the club, gets more time to shine then someone who has to fight for his place in the team in our deepest position.
  13. His passing ability, reading of the game and workrate put him up there, he cannot just deliver a set piece, he can unlock defences with his composure and passing nous (see Stoke at the weekend.) Will never forget the impact he made at Wigan last year either.
  14. Not from what I have seen. He is pretty close in terms of quality albeit a different kind of player.
  15. You make a good point.
  16. Well, that's the end of my interest.
  17. Define 'drink.'
  18. Out of position?
  19. Ah, that's an England team, but what about a squad?
  20. When was the last time Saints had three players in an England squad? The 80's?
  21. Wonderful news! What a day when a forward who isn't an automatic first choice at Saints makes the England squad! Good work Jay!! Fully deserved for Adam too.
  22. Had to change from an old Fire/Back boiler arrangement and separate hot water boiler to a combi after the back boiler failed in a severe winter three years ago. All installation done by a local fitter in one day, Worcester boiler fitted, £2k all in. Did a wonderful job. The boiler has been superb.
  23. So class I had forgotten him!! But my goodness.... what a calamity he was.
  24. Who's blaming?! Happy to have any excuse to rain praise on the wee one. For an actual player though..... in my memories of watching Saints the best Scot I can remember in our colours is Danny Fox.... (Can't put Quashie down now, can I!)
  25. In order Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes Yes Yes No No
