Top would be better though. A nice 16-0 to us to get us underway please.

Just give up.

Why? Were you unembarrassed when walking past Crate?

Me too, but I'm not you.

Er... Oh I cba to argue with the muppet.

And make all the people there homeless? Or just sell flats to more tourists? Neither seems good and long-term if you want people who are interested in SFC. As for shopping centres, how's the Bargate and East Street these days?

Uses both feet; good. Doesn't strike the ball cleanly. Defending in that league is jank.

Nah. And fewer facts.

How many years do we have to give him before we'll say "He'll be consistently average soon, just give him time"?

The quote was written by someone who knows about football rather than someone who doesn't and has access to the internet of course? Here's how things will go: DS speaks. Saints forum - oooh! We luv you. Season starts - we'll smash em and our team (who we've never heard of but they look good on youtube) will win the league. Then either: we're crap, doom and gloom, Still out. Or we'll win the league, VAR/referees/butterflies in foreign climes hate us. When we get promoted as champions: I told you so! Still for England, but only after we win the league. If we don't. Manager hasn't a clue. My dog could do better and it's from Poopey. Despair sets in. Players' faults are suddenly noticed and there is much talk of potential: 35 is still young and time to improve. Starve them to keep them hungry on their £50,000+ a week. Mercenaries (that bit is actually valid). Sack the board, etc. DS speaks. Saints forum - ooh! We luv you. (Repeat until the end of time). It's lovely to see what a fluff piece, the likes of which are trotted out all over the place all over the time, will do to those who are dare I say 'easy to please'. I wait with bated breath for the pre-season expectations. At least some will wait until we've signed players and seen them play a few times.

Just like BBD?

Potential? Too much Champ Manager.

Better off?

Expect him to do well there. Then. Celtic will still do better though: better manager and players.

We got promoted because we were better than most of the dross we now find ourselves among again.

And then leave?

While that makes sense from a footballing perspective he's a bit young and probably wouldn't want to/like it. It is well-known he likes being near family, routine, etc. That's the angle that a lot of people take: he won't want to go to ... wherever.

Get rid of the dross! Sell the club. Buy a B&B and make sure it's run properly. We did alright when Koeman had to make a number of changes. Let's hope that Will, if he's Still here can replicate RK's good bits and avoid those big losing streaks that cost us the title.

I think we judge them in two seasons' time: when we might have both been promoted and stayed up or been promoted with at least six players who will be good enough in the top league in which case it'll be three seasons.

So the real, tangible, clear benefits are ... ?

Couple of quotes about Edwards: Takes me back to Glenn Roeder when he glides out of defence with the ball. Absolute class When I watch him I always wonder what Southampton was thinking. I mean I have seen a lot of Southampton PL matches and Edwards should in the starting 11 for them, not on loan to us Ronnie has done so well, he’s a class act and I could see him carving out a great premier league career If he considers joining permanently and he continues to Do well until end of season then perhaps I will change my mind. But for me he is decent but no where near a best loan player Edwards has been good but not a patch on Walker, Taarabt and Routledge. They were different gravy. Completely agree on Edwards. He’s been a vital addition. His versatility to play centre mid against Leeds was very important to getting something from that game. For the record, they pretty much universally agree that Kyle Walker was their best loanee signing.

Aren't your balls round, or something?

Does anyone think we can convince the skates to take back their ex-player of the year, Bazinga?

I do wonder if you're right. Three more signings will tell us for certain.

They might get on: both WHU fans.
