Family ties to several of the players - blood ties presumably. Hang on, let me guess: Guly, Lee and Fonte? Is your colleague Lucy from the rift valley?

Im disappointed you dont qualify for the 'poo at SMS' thread at all.

Im not sure thats true - Cortese will pay prem wages, but only once we are actually there. Saints are in a bit of a catch 22. We want a top striker who can perform in the prem - ie one who other top level clubs would want also. Those players have other options arent going to commit to us until promotion is guaranteed - and our current wobble wont be convincing them that is certain.

He's leaving the country before the doom, angst and recriminations of SWF descend upon him.

Fair comment. I agree at those prices Sharp is better value. Also think he would help us get promoted this year. But beyond this season would he cut it in the prem?, not convinced.

Yes really. http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/D1/leadsc.html

Im not so convinced by Sharp. He is Doncaster's main striker and penalty taker yet 11th in the scoring stats well behind RL, Kevin Philips (who is 38 ), Guly and others. Henderson at Millwall - who are struggling like Doncaster - has 50% more goals. Is the 11th best striker in the championship really waht we need in the prem?

tbf if you are going to start a rumour those are the words you would use if you want to be proved right. Something is, of course, as always happening at SFC. Simon Peach may not know what it is, but that aint going to stop him tweeting...

Blah blah. Based on a rumours which are now concrete facts (not). The only thing we know for sure is that we signed Hooiveld, who has been outstanding and probably a far better player than either Gorkss or Jemal would have been.

Chelsea Hotel, Leonard Cohen. About a brief relationship with Janis Joplin I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, you were talking so brave and so sweet, giving me head on the unmade bed, while the limousines wait in the street. Those were the reasons and that was New York, we were running for the money and the flesh. And that was called love for the workers in song probably still is for those of them left. Ah but you got away, didn't you babe, you just turned your back on the crowd, you got away, I never once heard you say, I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you and all of that jiving around.

If you're looking for a contrast to the Bowmore then probably should try something not from Islay or the other Islands. Having said that I do like Jura 10yo.

I imagine that is exactly the plan. I rate Connolly, but he will be 35 in June and wont be able to play in the prem again next year. Barney is a tryer, but I just dont think he is good enough for the Championship let alone any higher, ditto Forte.

Judging from this picture on Vardy's twitter account, he's got SWF form...... curiouser and curiouser http://twitter.com/vardy7#/media/slideshow?url=http%3A%2F%2Fyfrog.com%2Focnacj

Pretty sure they have been looking for a striker since well before the Hooper speculation started. Its possible the two things are connected by doubt it personally.

Aah. Yep, good point.

Agree. And even better than that it doesn't seem to be harming us because other championship teams arent making big money / wages signings either. Wonder if their has been some kind of chairmen's agreement.

I work home alone. Me, the phone and internet. You guys make up for not having colleagues within hundreds of miles.

I seriously doubt there is are any posters on here who dont know your views on Hoddle or your prediction we will finish 17th, so what is the point of banging that drum at every opportunity? - especially since the Hoddle thing was 8 years ago and within a few games finsihing 17th will be a mathmetical impossibility.

iirc that has never stopped them spending big too.

I always thought it was odd they didnt nick his curry

Not ideal score, but sounds like a cracking game.

Especially when they didnt even see the shot....bizarre.

Any players not called Lee must be called Danny

Well he hasn't stropped off yet, so yep.

I dont really think so....
