Class. Well said Gareth

If only our posters had such shapely legs and short skirts like the model in the diagram - I would arrange to have their patella reflexes examined personally.

That's a lot of ifs and buts and hazards for such a fee....

Yep, £50k cannae be right...

Is that all they get? Peanuts and monkeys...

...

Would you not agree that it is fair, on a football forum, to question and debate the tactics and selection of the team manager, particularly after a dip in form? If not, we might as well closed the forum down lock, stock and barrel. Or question the tea-lady perhaps?

I'm certain the Canaries must have jumped for joy when they saw the Saints' starting line-up yesterday with no Clyne and Shaw as launchpads for our attacks

I'd be horrified if we've been mugged off with VW just like we were with Gashton.

While I remain unconvinced by MP, Di Matteo is certainly not the answer! RDM got very lucky with the Champions' League at Chelski and I regard that triumph as an outlier and not indicative of his managerial calibre.

Cork for player-manager. YHIHF.

looks like a Gay Pride special, and why are they several sizes too big for the models?

Crikey, didn't realise Morgan has dyspraxia.

Every move in a match has it's origin in a 'dead ball' situation if you go back far enough. How many players does possession of the ball need to go through before 'open play' is declared?

Lovely irony!

If he hasn't come good after a year, he never will. Flogging a dead horse. He's a part timer, to boot! Incredible...nice work if you can get it mind.

Cortese will be in a black mood tonight. Awkward phone call to be put in from MP on the coach home.

Cork-Spider partnership was arguably the best in the league last year, position for position. Even the media were purring over them when not licking Fergie's arse. Then there was the superb stats. Cannot believe MP has effectively dissolved such an effective force, even if he's not sold.

The rest of this goes on to describe in detail how the new signings have unsettled the way we play!

Not sure the morale in the team is quite what it was...there's a ponderous lethargy and lack of inspiration, no intensity anymore.

Can't believe we've eschewed the superb Cork-Spider pairing for these big-money, big-time Charlies.

Awful. Team seems unsure and unsettled with the new signings. Going backwards.

The way national cricket and rugby teams bend nationality is totally undermining international sporting credibility. Football is not yet so bad. Saints have a great blend of home grown talent and foreign trimmings. Long may it continue.

Good read. Where's the bit about the billionaire benefactor blueprint though?

Remarkably intelligently composed thread, that Pompey one. Hats off to them.
