Golden Balls

My dad's a taxi driver. I'll ask him. He's due a bit of ITK news. Last thing he told me was when Kevin Phillips signed as he picked up Dennis Rofe from a hotel.

Heard he was saying his goodbyes. I have no reason to doubt this person. Just hope they were misinformed.

Armband always goes to Lambert when Lallana goes off after 65 minutes. So probably him. Fair enough imo. Been with us at the bottom and someone everyone can look up to.

Fits in with what I heard on Friday. Very disappointing if true.

I give this thread 6 more minutes

Always better to have a chairman who you never hear speak to the media imo.

Add to that Osvaldo and maybe even Gaston and that's a lot of money coming in and a lot of talent going out. If that actually happens, I can't see the likes of Morgan, Clyne and JRod wanting to hang about too long.

A big shame he wants out. Signs of a mass exodus?

This is the main reason we are a lot of peoples 2nd team at the moment.

He was a big part of our rise. Always had a soft spot for him and took a lot of stick from friends for rating him. Glad it all worked out. Very popular member among the players and staff too. I'm sure he'll be missed by them.

I thought the same.

What a 5 years it's been. Difficult to add anything that hasn't been said. The JPT was really special for me. Not a major trophy but it was a "we are back" moment and installed a winning mentality. The last ditch goal against Norwich. The penalties. The 2 games against MK Dons. The home game in particular being one of the best atmospheres SMS has ever seen. And then obviously winning it so well at Wembley. The low being that Markus missed our rise through the leagues. He'd have l

I see that "ignore the trolls" thing is going well.

I've had about 3 more letters regarding this charge. Still not responding. Moved house now so will probably be the last I hear.

I was thinking the same. That's bizarre. They seem pretty desperate to incentivise people to pay by cash. I wonder why......

Is this some kind of late April fools?

He elbowed me in the head once. That's my overriding memory of him. ****

He's learnt the names quickly

Didn't do as many this year. Mainly due to cost and how easy it is to watch it down the pub or in my living room. Fulham was a brilliant away day. Really hope they bounce back up but cant see it.

If I wasn't a Saints fan, I'd also think he would be off.

Let's be honest. He doesn't know if he's leaving. He's not committing either way. He would have no problem with staying. But if he's not given assurances about the future of the club and manager, who could blame him for having his head turned by huge clubs?

Would love us to sign Begovic. Don't care that he used to play down the road. Won't happen though. Stoke don't need to sell so would put a huge price on him and if he were available, there would be a long list of clubs that want him.

Would ruin the brilliant football league we have in this country. People forget that these clubs, however small, are the heart of communities too. I'd rather we never won a World Cup than this go ahead.

Seems like Palace fans are getting a lot of praise. Gary Neville even saying it's the best he's ever seen. Does that make them the bestest fans in the world for the next 10 years now. Even if they go quiet, kick off and don't turn up? I mean, that's how it works right?

He said "probably" meaning they might also say yes. It's likely that we'll sell one player and that will be dragged up by the fans. Fact is, he didn't say that.
