Glad hear the ****s were dealt with one way or another.

Disagree - visually it is utterly repellent, and a navigation nightmare. Content is all videos - virtually nothing to read, no analysis, whereas before it was a font of intelligent, in-depth background reporting articles and comment. They are just saving £ by cutting and pasting TV footage.

Fulham look like relegation fodder to me.

It is almost as bad as the revamped BBC sport site. And that is saying something.

The Japanese are part of a Far East marketing strategy - we shall quadruple replica shirt sales with them in the squad. A shrewd, far sighted move by the board.

It is how they'll all gel that worries me....

It must be Owen then who was in the Skoda Superb about 10 mins ago.

A black Skoda Superb saloon, replete with privacy glass, and clearly very well specced and optioned, has swept up to the St Mary's main entrance.

Perhaps then, if we are doing it the Burley way, they can join Guly boozing and bond that way.

You forgot the pivotal Guly.

apart from odd smelling cigarettes!

SSN spend the whole day outside bloody Spurs, get down to ST Mary's and talk abnout the deal of the season FFS!

SSN saying now close to completed, 12M

His career at Saints is seemingly in the balance, he has never really got his plane out of the hangar, although he has only had 1/2 a season, granted.

He's coming - we'll play him for 12-18 months then he'll graduate to a senior coaching and academy development role. Will massively increase our future pulling power with impressionable, talented younger players who might normally dismiss us as prospective club. A genius move by Cortese et al.

I only wish our posters were as reasoned and well informed as their forum - OP excepted, of course.

A most prescient post this transpired to be.

It is all part of a our long term strategy to replicate the team names with the 76 Cup winning side. We are presently scouting furiously for a young McCalliog, a Blythe, and a Turner as goalie, hoping to complete some deals before the window shuts.

Whatever they do wear, when we take the lead, it has got to be a reprise of the classic "have you got another kit?" chant.

Get the signings in, a month to weld into the team, and over the bad run of fixtures and I think we'll be flying. Lots to be excited about.

Please spare Norfolk...

London-centric, Chelsea supporting Home Office staff; or good, old fashioned bribery?

except that we''ll be pointless till December 1st with our fixture list...

Pointless table until Sept 1st, Shirley?

I can just see the Chairman's opening speech at the Baggies Board meeting pre-season: "The aim this season - like last and next - is to carefully orchestrate alternate relegations and promotions. The last thing we need is to get established as a comfortable, mid - table Premiership club, it would be a disaster"
