We already have Sammy and Super Saint. Surely 2 dog mascots are enough. They are also more mobile and entertaining than Rickie, it really would be embarrassing to have a great player like Rickie made to dress up as a dog doing Gangnam at half-time.

Sincerely hope not. Great guy, great player for us, but that was then and this is now. It would be a real shame to see him back a pale shadow of his former self.

Then when they get a contract they are useless as well, Reference Saganowski

So why when I make an edit, it says in the post it has been edited, but when IC does it there is no record of an edit having been made?

Actually not according to Talksport, source is the Daily Fail, 29 March 2015: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3016432/Club-club-guide-Premier-League-s-financial-health.html Figures would also be based on year ending June 2014 (so despite all the references to Ronald in the Fail report, it would be almost completely unrelated to anything he did)

I'm guessing its for the much vaunted petting zoo.

It really isn't the only thing he lacks. Without coming over all Spanish Inquisition, his weaknesses include pace, tacking ability, goals and defensive positioning. However, on the plus side he is apparently a top class impersonator, a dead ringer for Nige.

God you sound like my French teacher at school. Anyway you got the gist from my Franglais. Mange tout.

WE just need to watch out with "le petit ball de tennis" at his left hand post, seems to have a weakness there. As long as we play with regulation size 5 and avoid Wimbledon in the Cup we should be fine.

FFS, this is so fecking childish and pointless, you're wrong, I'm right, na na na na na. Like a spoilt kid in the playground. So the feck what.

Well done, Mr Gradgrind. Thats what we need, Fact, Fact, Fact.

Ronald prepared to break our transfer record to get Toby. 18m being quoted. Mirror/BBC Gossip.

He's not a Saints fan.

Aha another hick seaside town like Boscombe:lol:. Actually, much like Southampton, not "by the sea" at all, but a major port city with a waterfront based on an estuary/drowned river valley/ria.

Reminiscent of Lidl in November.

But Ted knew Micky Channon was coming through and Chivers would not be greatly missed, he was already playing second fiddle to Big Ron. He was successful at Spuds eventually but actually won very little despite leaving for a "bigger club" (UEFA Cup and 2 League Cups). Have his autograph which I got at Highbury when he sat almost next to us when he was recovering from his broken leg.

Think its more to do with appointing young English coaches who have recently been international players. None of the above were really failures, they were all inexperienced and like almost all coaches paid the price for lack of out and out success within a couple of seasons. Not many coaches get the opportunity to develop for longer than that these days. Southgate was not even a qualified coach when he was appointed manager of Middlesbrough and did very well for them in his first season in charge, despite a shaky start. 2nd season they were relegated after a good start and an appalling run, and third season he had them 4th in the Championship before Steve Gibson pulled the trigger, probably rather prematurely. Bit harsh really to call him a failed club manager. Gary White will probably be next U21 coach.

Well, shows how wrong you can be, doesn't it. The city is not by the sea. If you want to be geographically accurate, Southampton Water is a drowned valley, or ria formed by the Rivers Test, Itchen and Hamble that flow into it.

Thought it was very strange when I read it. There are 2 things wrong with referring to Southampton as a "seaside town". (1) It's not a town, (2) it's not by the sea side. Think those down the road will be laughing thinking of us being referred to as a seaside town. If you want a seaside town, think Boscombe.

It could do with elict of paint.

Could do worse, local Hampshire player, will add to our Home Grown roster, would do well if we played at Mansfield Park. On the negative side, even older than Kelvin and hasn't been credited with an assist for a few years.

New design revealed by council http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-33187732 Apparently Portsmouth's Liberal Democrat opposition said the saga had made the city the "laughing stock of the country". I've got news for the Pompey Lib Dems, your city was already a laughing stock due to your ramshackle football team.

Yep, more obvious than Yoshida. Seems odd to me Clyney pushing Henderson, the well known 2nd choice England Right Back.

No, no, no. Former Chelsea and England centre forward Kerry Dixon. Nothing to do with us guv. Its a bit like claiming Redkrapp as our former manager. These claims should only be made when they are good things. As far as I know Dixon never played for Saints. Next someone will be claiming Speedie was a Saints player, laughable really.

Nope, didn't even enter my head. Who gives a flying **** about Stoke?
