Indeed

It wasn't an oversight type of omission because they put up a sentence at the end of the original article saying "David Connolly is yet to be allocated a squad number" (or words to that effect). So this must now mean that we've got a new high profile No.8 coming in very soon then.....

And, unlike some, our quoting technique is top drawer..... ;-)

Possibly, although I'd have expected to see Forecast 'promoted' to the No.13 slot if Bart was definately off

Maybe one of the "marquee" signings we've spoken to has said...."I'll sign for you at a reduced wage cost but I want the number 8 shirt as a token gesture in return from SFC"....and they're just waiting for the transfer to be confirmed (or dropped) before giving Connolly the number 8 if it falls through? Perhaps.

If that's the case (and I have no evidence to dispute it one way or t'other) then why not just buy a Swiss club and make his life a bit easier travel wise? I can't help believe that it's a combination of "boys toys" and the Premier League pot of gold (if we get there before that particular bubble bursts of course....)

That's torn it....cue another 14 pages of "Cortese's a control freak" ;-)

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you would have reacted too. I agree that, sadly, there will always be people that can't rise above such provocation.

Always? It wouldn't have sparked a reaction in me. I'd have risen above it personally. :-)

He's a footballer but that's not important right now.

Looks like they're updarting it as we speak: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10280~21836,00.html When are they going to change Lallana to 'midfield'....?

David Cameron is a politician

Trust me. I've never felt more ashamed than I feel right now.

It might be worth someone pointing out to him that one doesn't have to pay to view/use the forum....

Kevin Phillips was pasta his best when he came here.

Yep, totally agree. Although I'd put it at 100% rather than an unattainable percentage (in absolute terms) ;-)

Is The Forum Representative Of Saints Fans In General ? No. Hurrah, at last a topic everyone can agree on. Lush.

P.S. It is possible to get worked up by trivial things. Ever tried convincing people that Boxing Day is not always the day after Christmas Day? Drives me nuts (so to speak). Nuts at Christmas? WTF is that all about? FFS

I post on here for the same reasons I watch football. It's just another leisure activity. Me? Worked up? FFS Source? I come on here to unwind. FFS ;-)

Exactly. People lose credibility when they say: "It's a done deal" when they really mean: "Player X told friend Y who told me that he saw Player Z popping into the SMS medical centre" Change the language to match the situation and, hey presto, credibility restored.

Fantastic

Football = Pasttime; not really that important in the general scheme of things Life and death = quite important; involves genuine human emotion and concern

Would it be pertinent of me to remind people we're talking about a football club here (aka a leisure activity) rather than something akin to life or death. Why do people (on both sides of an arbitrary argument) get so worked up about something so trivial as a football team????
