I aim to please. Incidentally, the girl on the phone confirmed they are on sale in the shop tomorrow when I rang up to order.

As I said in the other thread, love it. Best stripped shirt since 03-05 for me.

Love it, absolutely love it. Best striped shirt we've had since 03-05.

What a load of moaning minnies! We've waited a long time for this, another hour or so will make no difference!

Good plan, especially for an online launch.

A direct rip off from the Mirror.

Ah, but are you an engineer or tactical officer?

Or Barnet.

Superb, we'll look like Bees. Cue all the 'buried by November' jokes.

A star for every season ticket holder?

If they haven't got those cool little 'jester'esque umbro diamonds in pattern I'll be livid.

Would be very happy with that, but I suspect that it may be a little more unusual.

True, watching it full screen on my 32" television is a little easier when drunk.

If you don't have access to local radio and news it's invaluable. The highlights are not that high a quality (but they are working at that so it seems) and for £4.29 a month it's pretty good for us exiles. Having radio solent commentary out of area is superb for away games/home cup ties. It can only however be a stop-gap until actual live game video streaming is available.

Up to £4.29. Hmmmm, not too bad. And now: 'Near HD video quality.' 'Coveritlive' Live chat - Not required, frankly. Just give me the ability to actually WATCH Saints games live anywhere, that's all I ask.

Ok, i'll bite. Spill the details then.

That's putting it very, very mildly.

Ah, but how many were in the home end?

Indeed, wasn't that company SPECIFICALLY set up in the UK to ensure that the takeover could be facilitated in as clear, upfront and legitimate a way as possible?

Only after he formally took control of affairs. He didn't actually own the club until someone needed to be made public. Incidentally, I hope that Cortese is baying for blood after that. The implication that our ownership by the estate of Markus Liebherr could be anything other then above board is nothing short of libelous.

So, the kit is going to be late.... which is why the shirt printing section of the shop has been shielded off. I smell something.......

Oh come on we all know it'll be the cheapest cotton and some sweatshop somewhere terribly deprived. Southsea or similar.

Unveiled on wednesday I believe. Then we can finally put the topic to rest.

They are goal threats, but it's strange, I wouldn't think of them as out and out strikers or poachers. They are forwards (or in Adam's case an attacking midfielder who has traits you would normally associate with a forward) who do score but who also contribute far more then just a goal threat. We don't have anyone in the squad who just scores goals. All players we have seem to do more, there is no Clinton Morrison or Peter Crouch type. A target man, an out and out goalscorer. Maybe it's just indicative of how we play under Nigel Adkins, we want players who don't just fit into a pigeon hole. Certainly, under Pardew Rickie was an out and out forward but last year that changed. He started drifting wide, chasing down play more. Considering that one of the big problems with Pard's team was it's 'predictability' for poorer opposition then maybe it's a good thing. We had a fair few frustrating home draws in his tenure, something that Nigel banished. We are now a far more versatile unit.

Agree, if we were to do that I would be more tempted to play Rickie in the hole. Use his latent footballing ability to hold up possession and bring others into play while also being a tangible threat himself. -------------- Cork ----------- Morgan ------------- Chamberlain ---------- Rickie ---------------- Lallana ------------------Barnard/Connolly------------------
