  1. Aberdeen striker Hicham Zerouali adopted the number zero on account of it sounding a bit like his last name.
  2. Yes...
  3. I meant to add "in the Premier League".
  4. John Hartson has never played at St Mary's in the Premier League = Dell sized mentality
  5. They made the last 16 of the Champions League last season. Not many "PL relegation fodder" teams would manage that. Give them access to Premier League TV money, sponsorship deals, appeal of the EPL to get players, sell out domestic crowds with higher ticket prices and they'd be competing for Champions League spots in England. Plus they'd also attract foreign investment. As long as they play in Scotland they are stunted and smaller teams like Saints are more attractive to their players. Not saying we are a bigger club, of course not but more attractive due to circumstance as the Wanyama deal highlights.
  6. Celtic averaged 44,964 in domestic football last season.
  7. In terms of domestic football, Celtic had little need for him to be particularly defensive in a one team league last season.
  8. It is to represent the year of the Lisbon Lions and Celtic's 1967 European Cup win. "After reading the club's history, I have chosen 67 as my squad number to show appreciation to the 1967 squad." So maybe he'll want to swap the numbers around to 76 with Saints!
  9. It doesn't match the Championship, look at the size of the 11 biggest clubs in the Championship, all of them would be the 2nd biggest in the current SPL. Even beyond the top 11 in the Championship there would be other Championship sides that would also match up, plus Wolves, Bristol City, Bradford, Sheff Utd in League One and even, dare I say it... Pompey in League 2.
  10. Keegan left Saints in 1982, Saints had their highest ever league finish in 1984.
  11. Next one is in 2015 and Kenya rarely make the finals.
  12. No, England under 19's.
  13. All it takes is for one of the strikers to play a bit deeper than the other and a 4-4-2 can look like a 4-2-3-1. It is a very different beast to playing 3 centre backs and 2 wing backs like pingwing is suggesting.
  14. How does that solve the problem of what happens if Clyne gets injured? You'd still need a right wing back. I doubt we'll change from 4-2-3-1 as the main formation, they are using it throughout the youth teams for ease of transition once they reach the 1st team.
  15. Its not entirely new, an extra tier is placed on the existing stand and a new facade is added with extra room for corporate, offices etc...
  16. They were given planning permission in July 2012 to build this at Craven Cottage...
  17. He didn't. This is not Luke Shaw's Twitter account... https://twitter.com/OfficialShaw23 This is Luke Shaw's Twitter account... https://twitter.com/Luke_shaw3
  18. Pochettino confirmed his interest in Osvaldo last week.
  19. First gameplay footage... [video=youtube;N-xHcvug3WI]
  20. It takes ages going through all the blocks, I've got no need to count them until the deadline day. Nothing stopping you counting them today.
  21. I doubt the system will change from 4-2-3-1. You need more than 11 players and Lambert will still get gametime if another striker comes in. In the same way Cork will still get gametime if Wanyama joins.
  22. By repeatedly saying you are not going to complain about this transfer window and then outlining how you would complain, are you not complaining? 2013/14 - the season of Alpine disguised complaining. "I'm not complaining, but if I were to complain it would be like this..."
