I was talking in general terms about a team selection policy shouldn't be based on sentimentality, which is why I said at the start of my post...
-
Take out the Davis/Green debate over who is better and I'd prefer Saints to take the route of aiming to put out the best XI they can rather than pursuing team selection based on sentimentality.

Games against... Arsenal - 3rd in England 2011/12 Rangers - 2nd in Scotland 2011/12 (admittedly 2nd in Scotland isn't much of an achievement, but they are still a big club) Udinese - 3rd in Italy 2011/12 Evian - 9th in France in 2011/12 Ajax - 1st in Holland 2011/12 + Wolves and Bristol City ...you describe as "completely underwhelming". What were you expecting/hoping for? In terms of a pre-season I think that is the best we've had in years. Lots of home games against high profile clubs and a training camp/two games in a very attractive, relatively close region of Europe.

Looks like someone has stolen a stripe!
-
Under which law?
-
Especially the game against Wolves at home, when sandwiched between more attractive fixtures like Udinese and Ajax.

I'm more worried about my bedtime cookies than three sets of undergarments!

Markus Liebherr not Marcus Liebhurr
-
Very offensive. Could easily be confused for a right winger.

I didn't say they did, but if you listen to the interview they are trying to agree a fee with clubs to stop it going to a tribunal. Martin joining them on loan may lower the compensation price Palace ask for if Clyne agrees to come to Saints. For all we know Clyne may have already agreed terms to join Saints on 1st July and the Martin deal will then make negotiations about compensation price a little smoother.

A possible 3rd itk moment for me following Jack Stephens and Sam Gallagher signing from Plymouth Argyle. A few things... - A "Palace source" has told me that Southampton, West Ham and Newcastle have enquired about Nathaniel Clyne. - This interview http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18340530 - Aarron Martin going on loan to Palace today - a sweetener for a compensation package?
-
Aaron Martin joins Palace on loan
Matthew Le God replied to jasoneuelllfanclub's topic in The Saints
If Saints were to get Clyne, they'd have to pay compensation to Palace or it would goto a tribunal. So loaning Aaron Martin to Palace could be as Turkish says be a "sweetener". -
How did it work out for them? None of them are still at those clubs, nor did they play many games for those clubs.
-
What "epic fail"? I can see them fine.
-
Leeds before Don Revie... Liverpool before Bill Shankly... Coventry before Jimmy Hill... etc etc etc
-
How can he "snub Sunderland and Aston Villa" unless both those clubs have a bid accepted?
-
The Exeter paper's article was written after they had been relegated but before the end of the season when they still had a chance of finishing top of the four relegated sides. They ended up drawing on the final day and finished 2nd bottom, so if Pompey went under it would be Wycombe that stayed up and not Exeter.
-
It wouldn't be Exeter, they came 23rd. Wycombe in 21st would be the ones saved from relegation.

He has only been in charge of the club for two kit launches. How can you say it "doesn't seem Cortese's style"? In any case, maybe these photo's aren't for the main launch, maybe they are the photos on the club's online shop for a ladies fitted cut version of the kit.
-
She would have to sign a NDA, her Twitter profile says "A PR Nightmare...", so maybe not the best choice for keeping a secret! https://twitter.com/#!/amandarushforth Isn't "very odd" at all, there are numerous examples of clubs using female models when launching a new kit.

Time to break my cover, I am Lee Holmes!

1) Has he had personal interaction with the management of the club for the entire time since the takeover? 2) Would he likely to be aware of what the management are saying to players to attract them to the club? 3) Is he in a better position to know the ambitions and resources of the club than you or I? 4) As he has been released and deemed not good enough by the club, is he likely to be spouting the club's propaganda or are these more likely to be his genuine beliefs based on his experiences of Cortese/Liebherr?
-
Swap "mostly" and "sometimes" around and I'll agree with you.
-
You do when you make a claim that I can easily refute and you have ignored. Respond to my actual points (which you continue not to do) rather than continuing with your usual lack of substance to your debating style and petty insults. Am I the one using petty offensive insults to cover up a lack of debating skills/strength of position?
