Don't suppose they'll find any paw prints to incriminate Rosie by any chance.

Be careful what you wish for ...... they've probably written in a clause that we have to give back 100,000 quid for each penalty he misses !!

I'm going for Lovren classic Own Goal in a repeat of last season's result Now that would be simply divine.

But do you trust this source ?

Has anybody who got The Al Jism / BeIn package last season heard whether our not they have been given back The Rights to show more than 1 Sat 1500 KO? Nothing on their website to say so except in The Q&A section .... Which channels does broadcast the Barclays Premier League (BPL)? We are showing all BPL matches, live and exclusive in HD. Our main BPL channels is HD1 and HD11, which show all the top BPL games each week and are all included in the Full Sports Package. However, beIN SPORTS is broadcasting all 380 BPL games live, which means that when several games are being played at the same time, some games will also be offered on our other HD. No date so possibly still left over from the start of last season, and they didn't bother amending it although it all went mammaries up early December ref Sat 1500 KO's. Cheating ****s. At least The Dubai Saints will be able to see the opening game on The Sunday. #COYS

LOL. Dyslexic Scouse. Pity their motto isn't Koppites Never Walk Alone. #KNWA

And of course Animals can be added to them as well. Nearly as difficult as picking Southampton's best midfielder ;-) Ref your list I could so easily have chosen Led Zep II or IV, but the Genesis one would have been between Selling England By The Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, withTrick of the Tail also just inching ahead of Foxtrot!! As for chosing Gong, a bit of a surprise. I saw them supporting Hawkwind at Bomo Winter Garedens late 70's. Probably the weirdest gig I've been to. Daevid Allen was wearing a traffic cone with an inflatable swimming waist band in the shape of a duck on top of it. Could barely see the stage through the fug of "herbal" cigarettes

Also one of the few Saints players I've seen who would deliberately dive and feign injury on a regular basis. The money grabbing saga at the end of his contract was the sign of things to come in modern football. Osvaldo never wanted to be here and just collected the money without putting anything back into the club. Let this be a warning to us about the type of player we are trying to buy now. if they don't want to come don't force them or chuck money at them. Guess wew won't be buying anybody else then :-(

As Pap says, it's been done before, and I'll probably list a completely different 5 to what I did previously!! Infact, I find it impossible to limit my choice to 5, so I'm going to cheat and follow on from Pap, and choose albums that have influenced me from different genres at different times of my life. I guess most of us will list Albums from our teen years, and too be honest that is the era that most of my favourite music till this day comes from, and what I listen to more than any other era. Pre/Early Teens - listening to Radio 1 and Radio Luxembourg mainly. Favs included Slade, Roxy Music, T Rex, Alice Cooper and David Bowie. Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies gets the vote, although Bowie's Alladin Sane comes a very close runner up. Late Teens - This is when I discovered (or should I say was introduced to) "Prog rock / LP Orientated Groups. The 1st time I heard Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon simply blew me away. This was the time I was buying an Album and going to gigs (and virtually every Saints home game and about 8 away games a season - how on earth I could afford to I don't know!!), if I'd displayed as much enthusiasm towards my studying as I did music and football I'd have got more than my one paltry A Level So many contenders here - Floyd, Led Zep, Genesis (with Gabriel), Yes, Hawkwind, BJH (Live), Deep Purple (Made in Japan) etc etc. From this era I'll go for Dark Side of The Moon, even though it probably isn't even my best Floyd Album!! I'm also going to add the very under rated Roy Harper with HQ. It's got rock, acoustic and even a Brass Band on the incredible and oh so english "When an old cricketer leaves the crease" a contender for my funeral!! Hey that could be a new thread!! The Punk Era - The charts were full of rubbish, my favourite groups were all turning into over inflated egos and 20 minute drum solos ... then came Punk / New Wave / Mod / 2 Tone Ska. Oddly enough The Sex Pistols nearly turned me off Punk, but luckily The Clash, Stranglers, The Jam, The Specials, Madness, Siouxsie, Stiff Little Fingers, Tom Robinson, Television etc etc. I'm going to plump for Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers. It showed me that some of these groups could actually play and didn't need shock tactics and alcolm Maclaren branding to suceed. The late 80's onwards became a virtual musical desert for me as I moved overseas to The SandPit!! Before the days of Innernetz and MTV etc, local radio stations played the same old chart stuff so discovering new stuff was virtually impossible, and I stuck to playing all the stuff listed above as I replaced my vinyl with Cassettes and then CD's. BritPop / Indie era re awakened my musical taste buds, but most of my music is now from Compilation Albums rather than individual artists. However Oasis stood out from the rest and What's The Story (Morning Glory) gets the vote. 2000 onwards. Still mainly purchasing Compilation Albums!! Best Album and one of the best liver gigs for me in recent times ... The Subways with Young for Eternity. Sorry it got a bit long!! I had some spare time and it was either this or doing some washing up and laundry.

I'd rather get some of our cash back for Osvaldo than a loan from Inter, who will most likely be a player who doesn't really want to be here, and who Inter don't want. Get somebody in, who we want, not someone elses reject. We need a forward and Centre backs, not more midfielders!! (At the moment anyway ... Morgan and Cork both leaving would change that a bit I guess) Am I right in thinking that he'll be a free agent next season? Cut our loses and recoup some the money.

Next signing a translator?

Double post.

Both players enjoying playing for Southampton just a tad too much or being a tease to the Brighton Fans.

Yay Tadic with a neat shot after a good run by Fonte. 1 -0.

Takes me back to listening to away games when we were in League 1. These 2 are so boring, but some of the Taters back then were absolutely crackers. I think it was Yeovil who were the best, with their yokel accents and randon comments. but all the regional accents were great.

Got to love the gallows humour on here, this alongside Bearsy's Morgan ice cream sketch are right up there with the best. Thanks for the LOL's in these dark times!!

LOLZ ... when I saw the team sheet on Face Book, in my haste to read who was playing / missing, I mis read Graziano as Gazzanigga. Cripes, I know we are short of a player or five, but playing a keeper at Centre Forward nearly made me throw a wobbler

Because we are a bit strapped for cash. Maybe we could sell a player or two to make some money available for transfers

I seem to remember Morgan saying in an interview that he learnt English by watching TV and Only Fools and Horses was one of his favourites ....... So Mange Toute Bearsy, Mange Toute.

Will be interesting to see if he is still there this time next year ;-)

Bed wetters stand at ease ..... just seen a tweet explaining the reason for Morgan's outburst about the 6 year journey being destroyed in an hour .......... It seems whilst he was at a very fruitful and positive meeting with The Board at SMS, his missus had logged onto his FIFA14 account and played a few games on his behalf

Damn.

Not so sure about that ... he was forever tweeting about how tired he was after training / matches last season. Maybe it's all the Three somes are taking their toll on him, or maybe he's bashing the bishop all night thinking about the threesomes he will be getting.

Ha ha ... looks like Luke has been spending all his extra money down Nando's ..... you fat baaaaarrrrrsted.

An updated Statement has just been released ..... contains swearing!! Damn link doesn't seem to work ... try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsN2Ao8-r24
