Ask him about Les's embarrassing birth mark... There's only a handful of us that know about that.

Dalek in the running for the 'quickest bite of the year' trophy I reckon...

I've got a nagging voice in my head that tells me there's a connection between Gareth Rogers leaving suddenly and the 'VvD was given permission to hold covert talks with Liverpool' story. Nothing more than a vague hunch though.

# PR PLANT KLAXON ! #

Ah ha... exactly what I'd expect a PR plant to post at this juncture... (Only kidding, obviously ) In all seriousness, I appreciate your posts so please don't stop

If I was a conspiracy theorist (which I'm obviously not... ) I would probably be inclined to suggest that a non-legit person would always have another poster up his sleeve to back him up...

Down the years, whenever I've suspected a poster to be a 'PR plant', or suchlike, I tend to go back and look at their first post(s) on the forum to see if there was any ulterior motive for joining the forum. It can sometimes give clues as to where said poster might be coming from. Anyway, I've no idea where Tom28 fits on the ITK/plant scale, and have no desire to judge - indeed, I'm rather enjoying his posts - but FWIW, this was his first post on the forum back in 2008...

Bakery. Yep, had a good game.

Wow, great goal 4-0 Ofalabi, another assist from Johnson

3-0 Barnes Edit: looks more like an own goal. Good cross from Bakery though

Half time. Dominant performance from Saints thus far. Our front 3 running them ragged.

Premier League statement

And add Markus too!

2-0 Some decent play by Saints but Reading look poor

My eyesight isn't that good Anyway, here's the stream for the game...

Ah! Mind reading was never one of my better attributes

I thought we were allowed to play up to 3 over aged players in the U23s?

Injured I believe. Along with Sims.

Hojbjerg getting a run out but not Clasie. Suggests, perhaps, that the latter is off?

...

...

And only one Markus Liebherr too

Not forgetting the several meltdowns we've had along the way to keep the SWF doom and gloom merchants happy

Have just seen tweets from a week or so ago saying that Liverpool are looking to sign him. Surely we sign Liverpool destined players a couple of years before they end up there?!

Agree that 24 is top end of "young", but still ticks several "Typical Saints Signing" boxes IMO.
