I'll probably just watch the BT Sport stuff on Offside Streams, but like The9, I'm hoping to be at most of our Europa League games, and it would have been nice to be able to record them, which isn't really an option on the streaming sites!!!
-
This Ultra HD. Looks really great, but is it likely to take off like HD did or is it just going to be another failure like 3D? Sorry if off-topic.
-
Presumably that's the non-HD price (?). Probably about £20 a month in HD.

Your obsession with players' age is baffling. Vardy didn't score against Saints in April, but he was Leicester's best player on the day by a distance. Bullied Fonte and Alderweireld like hardly anybody else did all season.
-
Welbeck? How many did he score for Sunderland?
-
Hunger, pace, fair bit of ability. He battered our defence up there in April. I think he'll score a lot more goals next season. Not quite sure what age has to do with it, by the way.
-
One season for a team who were bottom of the league until the last few weeks of the season. You know by watching certain players whether they have it in them to progress to the next level, rather than just relying on statistics. Vardy's clearly got it, it's a big shame we didn't get him when we were linked with him when he was at Fleetwood and Saints were in the Championship.
-
Agree. I doubt he'd be that hungry. Think it was Alex Ferguson who said never to sign players on their way down. He's played for Arsenal and Barca, would he really be that motivated to reallly make a difference to Saints?
-
Vardy is a better centre-forward than Welbeck. And possibly Ings as well.
-
I think Austin has a lot more mobility than Rickie ever had. I do really rate Austin as a finisher, I think he's a really top striker. As is Vardy (though Austin is more clinical). Both their England call-ups are richly deserved.
-
Berahino is a bad egg. Avoid like the plague, I'd suggest.
-
I did raise some concerns about this last week, and thought at the time that quite a few Saints fans might be in for a bit of a nasty shock, given most of the replies, which were along the lines of there being very little chance of Jose leaving. Personally, I am surprised by very little nowadays. Though getting Alderweireld to sign for us would be a bit stunning.
-
He's better than Cahill.
-
He is apparently now known as Clickinsect on the Ugly board. He does like a bit of debate, it's fair to say.......
-
I don't. I went there for England v Tunisia in the 98 World Cup, and the hot weather, loads of bars at Le Vieux Port and large numbers of Algerians, Moroccans and Tunisians was a recipe for fairly major trouble.
-
He wins a lot of free-kicks. Seems to get singled out by the oppo defences for fairly rough treatment for some reason. I like him. It's not his fault that Hull took a short-term profit on him. More fool them.

Nathaniel Clyne Joins Liverpool - Official
Pat from Poole replied to Saint Garrett's topic in The Saints
Seem to recall there were rumours recently about us signing Micah Richards, but I would have thought his wage demands would be above what we'd want to pay. Plus he seems to be injury-prone. -
Interesting stats comparing saints this season and last season
Pat from Poole replied to doddisalegend's topic in The Saints
I think that if you compare Bertrand and Alderweireld with Shaw and LOLvren, you'd say that they were arguably both more solid defensively than their predecessors, and also less inclined to giving away daft free-kicks near our goal (thinking of LOLvren in particular here). Also, much though I liked Boruc, at least Forster doesn't do Cruyff turns in his own penalty area. -
Who has Played their Last Game for Saints?
Pat from Poole replied to Lighthouse's topic in The Saints
One of my big concerns is whether we may lose Fonte to one of the big boys. He has been majestic this season. He's deffo good enough for Arsenal or United. -
I'm not going to gloat. As with last summer, they could yet come in for some of our players with the funds from selling their star player; haven't they already been linked with Fonte?
-
One word, Steve. Redknapp.
-
If Boscombe do not fall foul of Financial Fair Play rules in the next three years, I will consider eating my garage.
-
I just hope he doesn't sign for Boscombe and score enough goals to keep those peasants up.
-
Mmmm. Different bench to warm, I guess...... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-rickie-lambert-liverpool-transfer-5635162

Think they're showing the Mayweather - Pacquiao fight tomorrow night as well. When it's working well, Sports Mania is really good. Though I do find I sometimes have to use NBC and Offside Streams as back-ups.
