This. Kept expecting him to appear at the top of the screen when we've got the ball in midfield but assume he's been told to play differently to how he plays at Saints. Typical England

Matt Smith ‏@Matt_Smith78 So #ExeterCity loan more money from the PFA to help cash flow! Pretty sure when #Pompey loaned money to secure our survival we were "Cheats" Ian King ‏@naggerpagger @Matt_Smith78 As PFA loans have to be paid back no one would have complained. Not repaying debts that's a different matter. Matt Smith ‏@Matt_Smith78 @naggerpagger we borrowed money to buy the club, paid pack well ahead of time. Our cash flow as a fan owned club is well above expectations Ian King ‏@naggerpagger @Matt_Smith78 I stand corrected then. I didn't realise all creditors of Portsmouth FC had been paid back and no debts had gone unpaid. Matt Smith ‏@Matt_Smith78 @naggerpagger debts to creditors left by the previous owners are being paid and ahead of time.

@SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC pair @LukeShaw3 and Adam Lallana will hope to be involved when @england take on Ecuador in Miami tonight. Kick-off is at 8pm BST.

Cheers for the update

Far too many juicy snippets to cut and paste this late in the day

Cheers. Out of idle curiosity, what was his user name on here?

[video=youtube_share;GG1GERe6M8o]

No point banning people on here as they can always come back under a new user name to get around the ban....

@alex_crook: RT @Joe_Batchelor: Murat Yakin is still interested in the #saintsfc job but has confirmed he has still NOT had any contact.

Its taken Saints a while to announce this. Was publicised by Green 4 Solutions last Wednesday

Earlobe test results are back from the lab....93.4% likelihood that its him.

Earlobe profile?

Maybe the mods haven't spotted its the same person yet...?

Perhaps his neighbour is THEVMAN? So that why his source of info dried up.... All starting to make sense now

Echo what everyone else said about posting your insights Guan. Appreciated. This is the type of rational and informative thread that this forum has been lacking over the last few years. Keep posting sir. P.s. mods - please upgrade this man's status to full member

£1m every time Alps says something positive, for example?

Not advisable in Austria....

What can I say…? Southampton has been my life for the past five years, in which we have achieved all of our dreams and more. First I have to thank Markus Liebherr for saving Southampton then Alan Pardew for bringing me to the club. Thank you to all the staff involved in making me the player I am today. Without your knowledge and commitment I would not be here right now at a World Cup with England. Thank you to all the players, past and present, who I have had nothing but good times and success with driven by our club captain, Kelvin Davis. I love every last one of you. Thank you to the managers I have worked with – Alan, Nigel and Mauricio – and their teams for helping me and Southampton step up and adapt to every challenge that has come our way the past five years. When I grew up there was only one club I loved. I can honestly say now I have two clubs which will always be in my heart and that is thanks to the Saints fans. The people who support this club have been nothing short of amazing towards me and, when I look back in years to come, it will be the relationship I had with the fans here which will stand out the most. Southampton have allowed me to realise a lifelong ambition by joining Liverpool FC and taking my family home. The five-year plan when I arrived was to get this club from League 1 to the top half of the Premier League. Against all the odds we have achieved that. Now, under Katharina Liebherr’s leadership, the club has the chance for new plan, a new chapter, and I wish them all the success in the world. Rickie Lambert

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC #SaintsFC can confirm that Rickie Lambert has completed his move to @LFC for an undisclosed fee. #saintsfc pic.twitter.com/hplaUzC8GW

IIRC Davis took a penalty in the league cup last season when Rickie wasn't on the pitch?

@bigadamsport: Amazing how nobody reads the 'don't shoot the messenger' bit :-)
