Failing that he will join many others and have a fine career on here over many years with such professional training in creating multiple personas.

Can't we just agree to play them in a friendly in Bucharest one week when there is an International Break? Preferably when it is hissing with rain and cold? Would LOVE another trip back there it was massive!

Oh well, could be worse. I remember going to a preseason friendly at SMS and having the horror of watching Anthony Pulis make his home 1st team "debut"

Singing in the rain. We were singing in the rain........ Welcome Florin. Oh and it's been a while since I was an expert on UK currency, but shouldn't he be called Six Bob? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florin_(English_coin)

Dear Roger. We signed a player today. Football clubs give players a Medical before signing then. HTH

Currently odds on with Ladbrokes to be MVP this season ('specially since you left TMS and got all growed up) (Oh and nice one charliemiller )

1,840 Like the Polski Saints FB page https://www.facebook.com/SaintsFCPolska Send them your best wishes! Some good stuff being done on that page. Wonder how many will be at the game, trying to "Blatter" the result/ref/lino. (Note: Polski Saints branch in Krakow actually made up a bunch of T-Shirts from the PTS pick of a baby peeing on the poopey shirt.)

Because it isn't..... On it's own. ASSUMING this is a key part of the reason for our summer of discontent. We still had a meltdown. It still was not handled well. "They" might have thought they could just sell SRL & Shaw, but the close knit Team Spirit we saw last season meant the group as a whole felt let down. Things still spiralled out of control. It adds context it is not a get out of Jail Free card for the mistakes of the summer (see every other thread on TSW for the opinions on the definition of mistakes!)

Reading the core concept of that Blog and then thinking back, so many pieces of the jigsaw and comments start to make some sense. I'm having Paypal troubles and no doubt there will be a zillion interpretations but hey.. NC's opposition to FFP - well now we see why - we were too successful too quickly and would have hit the Salary Cap. New Board come in "Inherited a difficult Financial Position" but we also heard "The Club has no Financial Issues" So yes we were solvent, the problem was what the hell to do with the squad in this summer and to stop a meltdown. No players will be sold/do not need to sell - true. Just none of the squad could get a pay rise and we could afford to pay new player salaries BUT would be smashed by FFP. No wonder players got hacked off. Delaying the dates of Transfers for the relevant Financial Year. Again no wonder AL was annoyed, he'd expected to go to the WC & come back & have already had his pad all set up in scouseville. Nice Blog Redslo. The details like you say are blurred, many will tear it to shreds, and like you say, it makes no sense with the likes of Chambers, but with the money in the bank and the Academy players replacing many of the squad it does give much better options IF we can survive this year. It now allows KL to sell to a Big Ego who COULD splash the cash without being fined in 2015/16. It ALSO enables KL to invest herself IF she really wants to move to the next level. (It also is can be argued that you are a great attempt at a PR plant by Ralph to give a better cover story to the Asset Stripping!) Hell, analysing the possible NEW conspiracy theories this brings up could keep Pap amused for years! Not gonna take it as a Bible, but thanks for adding some better context to the Summer of Sales

It is very clear that we all know that the 5 year plan was the mantra that got us to 8th. Because the Plan called for expanding SMS to 45,000 capacity, the sales this summer were all orchestrated and planned.and we now have the money to start the preparation work so we can start the Construction next summer. We do all know of course that SMS is far too small for us and we (especially Turkish) cannot wait for the new Business Class seating, Airblades & WiFi in the new Upper Levels

Minor chortle this evening. True Sports was showing the Spuds v Chicago Fire game. Yes, Spuds won quite easily by the look of it, BUT the American 'Taters were giving Spuds stick for the way they played the ball around, left Soldado isolated in the box and basically slagging off MP's tactics. Reading some of our reports maybe the managerial change will give us exciting football this year instead of just pretty stuff?

Strangely yes. It's more motivating than anything you've managed the past few weeks

Cheer up Ron. Seems AgeS has unearthed a new worldly demon Spin King All over the news here in Asia

Duh yes of course she is here. She won the farking holiday! Wasn't gonna let HER go on her own! Sou Cowboy tonight then taking this plus our Dxb Saints logo down Pratunam tomorrow to see if can get stuff made in time!#couldsellmorethanthestripes! But have to credit EoA who shared it on FB

On hols with Mrs D_P, have a couple of days stopover in BKK Amazed to find our new shirt is on sale here as a dodgy fake. Love the new badge (I may have made all that up and nicked this from FB - thanks Eric!)

Oh God something else awful is going to haopen. Saints have made an Astute signing. Heck even a Sensible solution to the fact that Targett COULD be better than Shaw. Don't like this one bit. How dare they try and show wisdom.

Imho There is a massive flaw in KL's thinking. She values the club at X st 200 mil having taken almost 100 mil out. Fair enough. But, any buyer NOW will take weeks to complete a purchase leaving no grime to rebuild a competitive squad to stay up. We are likely to be relegation fodder by Xmas. January rebuilds rarely succeed. Meaning IF anyone buys us now at a premium price you have to question their sanity. which then means questioning their integrity. Very concerned noe

Love the LFC bidding £20 mil for Gary Ballance after his performance in Southampton gags on Twitter

Clearly the Board statements were true. We will become self sustaining. Just a lot faster than we imagined with ALL our debt paid off. Oh how lower league fans must be laughing at our arrogance now. We face a season of wtfln from PL fans. One hell of a gamble, sure we'll spend a bit, but now those Board statements seem solely designed to inflate our selling prices and con us into buying ST's & Stripes. Let's hope Koeman is a miracle worker. He keeps us mid table he can pick any job in the world Nice gamble to take on

Thx Trousers. The other lot only got us to 8th so clearly weren't good enough. Hey, it's as valid a swivel eyed idea as any of late. #championsleaguethisyear. This post was sponsored by

Thx. Something for everyone to ignore while they argue. Who was the babe in Man with the Golden Gun? Been arguing bout it all day WiFi so poor Google never loads!

Ok, Thorpie. Copy your last retweet. Can't do it from fone. 50 mil being spent express link

Insane theory # 4.976. NC offered KL X amount for the club. Let's say 200 mil. KL hates him. Decided she wants 300 mil for the club and to screw him over. Sales are at 93mil and counting. Only 7mil more to go and leaves NC with a crock of sh1t until at least January.. Nah, I prefer Washsaints' Billy big B0110x theory. (But we WILL sign more players Note - I don't think we should underestimated the Guru Mark Clattenburg in all that is going on. "You've changed"............

Hiya! Did you miss me? Been mourning the old Debbie Harry, having seen the 68 year old version at Glasto. I arranged a hit on my source. As his Gonads were being fed to him he did say "but I was right. We now know who we are signing. All the details came out late Tuesday & Wednesday" Oh thanks a farking bunch, which ONES came out fell on his now decapitated ears Oh well back to Eid celebrations Barbarella on DVD tonight methinks

Sorry Hypo he I saw a post of his it is late & I have no idea how to trawl his posts to find it. Just been given sh1t on Skype but the same info on players and stuf so let's just go with the DP is a wnker flow for now
