trousers

If I leave my socks and pants on the bathroom floor, Lady Trousers will often give me a ticking off about it, which can then descend into an argument about something else. However, if Lady Trousers leaves her under garments on the bathroom floor I typically won't mention it to her in case it triggers an argument. Two approaches: confrontational vs pragmatism. Welcome to the wonderful world of human nature, oh wise folk of the SaintsWeb Forum.

If Cortese and/or Adkins withheld news of this supposed approach from Lallana, here's hoping he doesn't get the hump that they didn't run it by him. Assuming that's what happened of course.

Please check the validity of any links before posting in future MLG, otherwise you'll have some smart arse coming on here highlighting your each and every slip... ;-)

Time to bump one of those threads from last year where they were gloating about being above us. Should be worth a chuckle....

Paul Allen was interested in buying SFC according to newspaper reports in April 2007. The share price rocketed as a result. Make of that what you will.

Nutshell

Sigh

Shouldn't we first have a vote on whether to submit that question....? ;-)

"Nicola, when we were in League One we kept hearing from Nigel and yourself that we were buying players who could not only get us out of League One, but who could compete in the Championship. On the surface, we have not seen or heard the same 'mantra' ahead of, or during, this season (thus far). Do we have the same 'good enough to compete in the league above' philosophy in place this season? If not, why not?"

The answer to that one will be something like: "We would like to use it more often but we have to apply for a licence every time we want to use it and that is time consuming and/or costly". So, if 'we' ask that question then the follow up question up 'our' sleeve should be: "Ok, understand that, but other clubs seem to do it without any perceivable problems so surely this isn't an insurmountable issue?"

3-1 Saints (Lambert 23, Connolly 52, De Ridder 83)

Automatic Promotion

"Nicola, would you see it as a failure if we don't get promoted to the Premier League this season?"

Not sure why you're asking on here, as nobody knows anything.

Perhaps the moral of this, and other, 'ITK exclusives', is that people who receive and post these "done deal" messages on here should caveat those posts with "subject to player agreeing personal terms".

Hoo?

Bar steward?

Define 'small'.

This guy was in Southampton for 2 days looking at apartments and no-one from the SaintsWeb Forum Sleuths Department spotted him? Un-bloody-believable.

I'm sure it was pretty obvious to Coulson and his legal team what the line of enquiry would be so he would know what to say in advance.

He was able to say "no" to the question about "income" on the semantic technicalities that Phil has outlined. Yes, he was morally wrong to say an outright "no" to the income question, but technically and/or legally he can 'get away with it' We can smell a rat all we like but these people will be shielded by clever lawyers. Anyway, I wonder what Ed Miliband is making of this latest angle on the coulson story?
