He did indeed, so will take back my abysmal knowledge of football World Cup substitutions. fact remains that Elia was not and never will be world class.

no difference eh?

sorry, when was Ella considered world class? And i think you will find that he didn't play in the final, he played in the finals, he might have been on the bench, but then i guess the whole squad is on the bench anyway. And just because you play in a WC final (not that he did), surely doesn't automatically make you world class does it?

good post, but Suarez is defo World class mate. Not sure about J Rod though, he has been injured

just not blinded by fanaticism, caught it from Turkish when he posted that being a about seeing a good player sold on for good money was what it was all about. If you want me to be 'happy clappy' and call players like Ella world class (by your post you are agreeing that Mane and Ella are world class then?) and say our board has proved everything is great about them, then fine, I am sorry I have misinterpreted what a forum is all about.

as good as Toby is, do you really think that AM would be letting go a world class player? As someone else said, Messi, Ronaldo, Mueller..... can see the difference. As for Morgan, absolute class, but world class? Not a chance. But potentially if he went to Barca perhaps where his game might raise even higher.

Potential world class? As are Ella and Mane? either you are taking the **** or are taking the ****?

I think you must have me confused with someone else re. the summer, i am sure that i didnt actually make more than one comment on the matter. It amazes me that people cannot have a different opinion, it doesnt hurt anyone, just what i reckon. You dont agree, thats fine, aside from the last lines, your reply is fine. But you failed to answer what my point is, why was a striker not purchased in the window, or did you think pelle was good enough to carry us through the rest of the season? And i am not really 'having a go at the board', just saying that i personally dont believe the hype. Sorry if you and others disagree, would it be a better place if every thread was just a load of head nodding?

even your mate Turkish comes up with better than that.

well done sir, what a splendid point you have added to the debate.

Thanks for getting the point. But still dont believe that there is proof that this board is ambitious, we'll see if Koeman stays at the end of the season because there is no doubt he will be offered better jobs. As for Lallana, ineffectual yesterday yes, but you wouldn't have him back in our team?

Thats it exactly. Of course playing for Liverpool for more money is attractive, but then he had the chances to go for more money when we were in L1. We had a shot at CL and even though it is clear that we are very light up front, did we buy a striker in the window to bolster our chances? No, we got another loan player. Sorry, it was a total lack of ambition and we are paying for it now. We wouldn't have had a better chance, but we didn't have a go at it. At least we know where we stand in what the previous CEO wanted to what the current one is aiming for. Whicj is fine, as they long as they are honest about it, which they wont be, it will be all this "pushing for the top 4 etc..." bollix, thats what gets me, more than not making the top 4 actually. Yes, whatever happens it has been a very good season, but we didnt push for it.

As long as it's not as embarrassing as at Liverpool, way over the top.

Ha, good one, nothing so exciting unfortunately. matt le Tissier vids and a few rare ones, probably won't even watch again, but just in case. saw a sign on a road th either day, £1 per copy but forgot which road it was on!

anyone know anyone who does this, will it work on original tapes as well. thanks

Tell you what, your avatar is spot on.

Why because I don't agree with you? Classic, you couldn't make it up.... Well you could I guess

No, I'm a saints fan so clearly I want us to succeed, just don't believe in everything we are told, I reckon she Will sell its in the next 5 years, but that's another story. the one thing you got from Cortese was a sense of believing that we really would succeed, albeit with someone else's money, but weirdly enough, I find (in respect of the football and transfers etc) I had more faith in him than this lot. I may be proved wrong, which would not be a bad thing for Saints, I may be right. But at the end of the day, there are more important things in my life than this, so either way it won't make a difference. and you only have to look at certain posters who had been waiting for Cortese to fail before they all whooped "told you so...." (Though don't know what they wee telling us, we were 5th or 6th in the league when he went)Let see what happens if she sells to some Carson Yeung type fellow.

See below, don't know what I have done

Of course he hasn't but like scapegoats, it's the done thing to throw in the race card.

I guess they would not be the same people that sat up once Cortese went, cause they weren't waiting for that moment, no? Same difference pal, same difference.

I haven't slagged him off no, hardly slagging someone by saying they are bring, really.
