"Potentially world class" don't forget lol

Yes I realise it's not Robson, typo, couldn't be arse to edit it, was quite clear who it was. Anyway, back to the OP, just seen on the Echo site, now they are voting, but haven't they always presented this before the final home game of the season?

Sorry, maybe I have missed it, but who got the vote? Was it presented before the villa game?

Reckon KD will announce his retirement after Sunday, seems fitting to finish on 300. Clearly Gazziniga isn't up to it, would be very dangerous going into the season with him. so what about Green? Good enough? Yes. PL experience? Plenty Available? Would think so normal enough ego to fight Forster when his fit, without throwing his toys out if the pram? Hopefully. reckon we could get him for 4 or 5, which would be peanuts for the stability and experience he could provide.

sorry Lou, but you said it and some agreed and it just stayed with me, because frankly, of what we have seen of him, to even suggest that is 'potentially' WC is ridiculous. The bloke is rubbish, no wonder the club havent offered him a contract.

I have noticed that you follow Turkish around like a puppy, or are you the same person?

Bump hehehehe (I'm doing a Turkish)

But Coxford Lou said he was potentially to be world class, many also agreed. so now I'm confused.

Indeed, retrospectively obvious from the usual suspects.

are you suggesting that he would do such a thing, whatever would give you that idea? Oh, yes, that's what he did at Palace!

He is driving a black cab in London. That's a fact btw. Probably plays non league now.

I was wondering how different it was back in 1984, when we finished runners up to Liverpool. What was the atmosphere of the challenge like, was it as surprising as now? Clearly there was no 'top four' place to go for, it was win or lose for The European Cup. Was their a sense of believing we could win the league or did everyone always feel that we wouldn't? What was the expectation at the start of the season? Should we have won it? I know, perhaps back then, we were one of the better sides during the eighties, so was there as much adulation about Saints as this is now? And what would have been bigger, winning the league back in 84 or getting fourth place next month? Would be interesting to heat the thoughts of those who were there back then.

Is Cortese going? FFS!

Really? he is having a good run presently but he still looks like he will miss as many as he scores. I am not convinced for the long run but to suggest he is anywhere near the class of Lallana is folly, there is no way that Mane will ever be as good as Lallana. Given his position, he will hopefully score more goals, clearly he is quicker but he will not dominate a game in the same way as Lallana did for us for about 4 years. Mane is about sudden impact, Lallana was control. but obviously this is about making out anyone who left under a cloud is **** now, Lovren yes, but not Lallana.

think its fair to say that was made up to create a bit of book controversy, backfired a bit. There was no spread betting on throw ons back in the mid nineties.

Not in the slightest I would suspect. Doubt Cortese was bothered about L1 and Championship Cups. nigel was sacked because Cortese saw that his kind of football, in which we see Leicester playing, ain't going to cut it in the EPL, not to the ambition of Cortese anyway. clearly it was a horrible decision that cut loose a genuinely great guy, but as a football thing, we are in a place now in respect of position, style and stature that we would never have been (probably) under Nige.

well you do, anyway, have a good week at school

you have obviously canvassed opinion of 'most' fans then, or is just the 0.03% on here?

thanks

not my original quote

We'll miss him, Clyne and Morgan next season, maybe we'll get lucky again or maybe we'll be found and short. We lost some great,ayers last years but kept some. Surely we can't repeat this season by losing the other great players we have. I mean we'll be left with Bertrand and Fonte and ......

Fair point

You've used that one before, if that's all you have got then just say so. Or better still explain what was different about the Loveen and Wanyama signings to Ramires and Osvaldo. Or you could just avoid it again. it would be great if someone could dig your comments following the Ramires singing,

I understand all that but my point has always (and only been), if we wanted to pay MS or NC that kind of money, which aside from the business model and the player politics, it would be possible. I point this out and get slaughtered for it but technically I am right.

there you go again. What about Lovren and Wanyama, do they not count? Jeez, you are so predictable. I remember this forum having a meltdown on the singing of GR (I wonder what you said back then?) but he turned out bad so its Cortese's fault. DO was bought by MP wasn't he? But that's Cortese's fault. RL and JF were bought by Pardew, nothing to do with Cortese. In fact anyone decent was bought by the manager and anyone **** was bought by the CEO. You couldn't make it up (well, you could)
