Wow, Not bad for a nation of 2 million population. No way was that offisde, played through perfectly.

1-0 doesn't do it justice, that was a stunning goal, best of the tournament so far for me. Howard was stranded from a 35 yards strike straight infront of him. Blinding.

Great shout, a VW Lupo without the premium.

I do like the look of that one, it may be pushing the price a little too far to be accepted by the Financial Director though. The Volvo V50 with Start/Stop is looking appealing right now. The Octavia is very much in there as my fall back option, as I know I will be able to get a very good spec one.

According to the poll. Up your A**e.

If I see a Vuvuzela at St Mary's I will not be accountable for my reaction.

Hmmm, interesting! #Makes note of those nations as starter points for his world domination plan.#

Couldn't say. The tickets are being sent out mid way through July. We will know then.

Are they all finished working concepts or just styling mules?

In summary, you cannot please all of the people all of the time. You can however please most of them!!

Bored and living up to your forum username quite nicely! Looking for something wrong when really, there isn't at all. Nothing wrong with playing Devil's advocate mind!

How would I feel about the idea of Markus and Cortese only becoming involved because they see the potential to make money....... I would not be surprised at all, in fact, I am delighted at that. They seem to appreciate that a pragmatic long term view would need to be taken on this in order for it to work, and based on the sums they've put in, we would need to be pushing for Europe in the premiership for it to be justifiable. I am really looking forward to the next few years! As for what happens in terms of PR and fan relations. Well, i've not been put off so far. I am in fact impressed by their professionalism. Cortese has stuck by his statement issued back in May and the fact that we, as fans, seem to demand information and clarification to everything on tap speaks far more about our mentality then it does about them. There is only one decision where I can understand a negative reaction, the season ticket payment plan withdrawl, yet it's withdrawl seems to fit the business philosophy of Markus Leibherr and Cortese, pay what you can afford up front, do not accumulate debt. While it may be draconian to impose this on people who do not agree with that ideology, you cannot fault their consistency. It is a fact that we, as fans, are a resource. The big clubs are (or where) because they had the most fans. I do not however feel, as a fan, like I did under previous regimes, that I am simply being used as a cash cow. Our season ticket prices are reasonable, the gesture like the launch day for the shirt was excellent (particularly after the long wait) and crucially...... I am loving the standard of football we now seem capable of and we will not fulfill the aims that Markus and Cortese have unless the standard of football is kept high. THAT is what I want from my club, winning football. They are obviously commited to that. If he is an abrassive b*stard, who cares! If he gets the job done and we progress on the pitch to match this guys obvious ambition, outstanding!

I don't see this as replacement. We were lucky last year that Harding did not at any point suffer a serious injury. Mills is ok backup but at no point has convinced me he is a 'left back.' If anything he is a left midfielder. With Dickson we now have strength in depth. Without wishing to sound patronising, I can understand that this is a new concept to us! We've lacked true defensive cover for a very long time!

Welcome aboard Ryan! Seems he was the guy with the blanked out face in the Shirt launch video. Time to bring in a few Right Backs now. Good start to the summer window.

I found Walsall away particularly good this year, if that's what you mean?

Good spot. Perhaps we are about to see another midnight launch.

Rule One. Come on now.

Or use the proceeds from sale to fund a revamp of St Mary's.

55,000. Ha, no chance of filling that even if we did really push on! (Would love to be proven wrong though.) And where actually is this farm? All this chat about it in recent years and i've not got a clue where it actually is.

As posted earlier in this thread.

Irrelevant, right now it looks sodding shocking.

Innit. Thank heavens the Preston game under Burley has no easily locateable links on Youtube.

#Ahem# Kelvin?

Never mind that, the 'Saints Web' bit looks absolutely antique. Hate it.
