Golden Balls

Just caught up with it. Came on here to see the discussion and yet again it's keyboard worriers galore. Just PM one another guys, cheers. Anyway, was good to have the forum back but it was obviously going to be full of terrible irrelevant questions. I really don't care how long someone who is older than me has been supporting a team. When I'm their age I would have been supporting Saints a long time too. A couple of decent questions. I personally liked the small businessman's question about local businesses being able to get involved with the club. Community is still important. Ralph was his usual rambling self but inviting him back for a conversation could have a positive effect. Interesting that some players turned down bigger offers to come here. My guess would be VVD and OR. The stadium expansion can be completely put to bed. If you like woman's football or not, I'm glad to see we have a plan in place to be in the super league. Les was very good and is so very key to the club. It seems with him here, this club will always be steady.

It's in there somewhere....

They seem to get into bother about this sort of thing rather a lot. Strange for such fantastic brilliant amazing fans.

Ticket prices is a big one and relevant with the recent publicity of 20 is plenty. People are being priced out and I am convinced this has a negative impact on match day atmosphere. Match day experience in general could be improved but this probably isn't the time for it. I'd like to know more about the clubs plans to move forward. We hear Ralph talk about Champions League but how are they planning in achieving that? Consistently selling the best players surely isn't the plan?

The team looks a lot better with him in it. Not only does he have great ability but I think he brings a lot more confidence to those around him.

Surely that can't be right. No atmosphere? Only sing when they're entertained? Out sung by Exeter? Obsessing over scummers? Booing? Surely they can't be discussing the bestest fans in world football?

How did Roberts (whoever that is) fail to realise just how massive they are?!

I can't see that happening unfortunately. However if it did the bestest would dwindle even more. All that hope, all that expectation to then fail would kill them.

I look out for Eastleigh results and have been to watch them a few times. Would love them to make it into the FL. Especially if the skates are still there. Despite a minority of their fans being weird, I still like to see AFCB do well. This year will be different depending on the table though. Used to go and watch Plymouth play quite a bit when I lived down there. Don't make an effort to look for their results now but want them to do well too. I'm not hardcore enough to lie about never paying attention to any other team. I used to actually support Everton until I was 5-6.

Didn't even know they played last night. Just been told they lost. Apparently they battered them all game though. I'm not arguing if they did or didn't, just found it funny the skate had to mention it. Anyway, onto Yeovil Town. I might try and catch the result after we've played the champions.

Not had a look yet but apparently that draw has lifted them to 2nd. Guessing the results went in favour of the pluckiest.

Still no luck even getting the website loading. Been watching a free stream which was working brilliantly until it just crashed

Website not loading at all. Clearly far too many people signed up and they can't handle it. Terrible so far this season.

Nice and easy game for them today. Should really be looking to add to their GD as much as possible at home to Barnet.

I know a couple of people who have gone for jobs there and didn't pursue it after the 2nd interview due to uncompetitive salary.

Just a few things off twitter I've seen this weekend. Moose once again trolling them and getting plenty of bites. And an ex skate winding them up with a fantastic fishing tweet. Isn't he also the one who got all starstruck by seeing Adam Lallana in Buddha Lounge?

I'd have him back. Good player.

There it is

I've seen a JRod version somewhere else with the verses. It worked a tad better than this one. Incorporated "when he scores a volley, or scores one with his head...."

That is hilarious. 4-5 singing, out of time drum, the most non league chant in the world ("everywhere we goooooo") and what looks like the holding pen for the Jeremy Kyle Show struggling to get the words right. Best of all, they think it's good.

When he's back in training the gallery will show pictures of him laughing and joking with his team mates. He'll then play and all will be forgotten if he does well. Fans are fickle and Morgan is the proof.

Purposely breaking rules with financial implications? Gotta love 'em.

Good news for QPR fans. Probably not great for their finances. He is far too good for the Championship and I cant believe he would be happy to spend a year down there after his England call up. He probably wouldn't have got in the squad for the Euros but if he bagged 20-25 goals in the PL this season he'd have a great chance. No chance now. Got to be more to it than just his wages, surely? Would have loved us to sign him.

Posted in the VVD thread but may as well go here too.

Seemed to me like you were posting your perceived strongest 11 with additions to that 11, no? Agree there seems to be good depth and options now. Obviously we wont play the same 11 each week. Not sure why that was mentioned.
