Maybe Boscombe have him lined up for next season along with Adam Lalla.

Only Wanyama is one caution away from a suspension. Morgan must be at least two away otherwise he would be on the official list: http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/suspensions

6 way race for 3 cl spots is what was said. Which meant they included us.

I'm puzzled about our stats though. There have been arguments on here one at least one occassion about whether we were playing 3-5-2 or 5-3-2, yet neither appears in the stats as a formation that Ron has used. 3-4-3 and 5-4-1 apparently have been used, I guess one of the ones where we argued about 352/532 must have been one of these according to the stattos.

You're right, must be senility kicking in. He was instrumental in the build up for the first against Arsenal though, with the JWP assist, as well as the assist for the second.

Following a great pass from Steve Davis. Seems like a bit of a theme here.

Have no problem with the kits, but would be a bit surprised if both the home and away shorts are black. I know the rules aren't followed to the letter any more, but i would think we would need a change of shorts colour for some games. I would also think that the backs of the home shirts would need to be modified if we play in Europe.

Pole dancing?

Are there really many on here that think it would be a disaster if we didn't sign him permanently? Agreed it would be great if we did he is clearly a top class player, probably the best player in the club, but how would it be a disaster? Also, he has player 16 out of the 25 Premier league games since he signed, he missed 3 at the start of the season before he signed for us. So 16 out of 25, is not too shabby. Hardly think he can be classed as injury prone, on the basis of having picked up one injury (which recurred suggesting he came back too soon). Agree to some extent about CBs playing alongside Jose, but it is clear that Toby is high class, whereas many could see that Lovren was not after his injury and was often helped out by Jose last season. Yoshida is a class act (sadly some still refer back to the days when he played as RB or LB and had nightmare games, played as left sided CB he is terrific). We also have Turnbull and Stephens coming through. I think we might still need to get another CB if Toby doesn't re-sign, until Stephens/Turnbull are ready to step up, but I really don't see any way it would be a disaster to lose Toby. I fully expect him to be elsewhere next season, most probably at Atletico.

Not unless you want us to drop into the Championship (Football League) first.

The Faroe Islands beckon

"Three little peeps" would scan better. We may have trouble with Pimpers Paradise...

Like it. Should I also point out the post is a bit sexist. I gather the FA want us to stamp out sexism in football. We need to have Bob's song reworded if Shane is going to sing it again, No Person No Cry would be more politically correct.

Does anyone know exactly when Steven Gerrard's birthday is?

Reading these stories sometimes makes you feel like you are in a time warp. Really can't see Chicharito swapping Real Madrid/Manure for little old Saints. Still, good to know that Ron is regretting not signing a striker in January, but then as we know from the forum experts none were available, so he should not be regretting something that was impossible. I bet he could name one or two that were available, but that would probably not satisfy some on here.

This was posted last Thursday (see post 74 on the Saints in Switzerland thread). I would suggest from that they either did it before they went or that it is actually in Switzerland. Why does it suddenly get national coverage today?

Agree with all this, except calling him a journeyman. He was far from that. A very classy player, who has also tried to continue playing for a few years after many others jack it in (nearly 38).

No worries, Google is your friend.

Which he won't.

Steve Parish (Palace ceo)

They could have taken them to Pamplona or sent them cliff diving or bog snorkelling. Horse riding is supposed to be the most dangerous sport in terms of deaths. By the way its "two" not too.

Another case of some hack putting 2 and 2 and 2 together and making 99. Noted that Mitchell and Vertonghen know who Toby is and so that means Spuds will make a move for him. Its just more made up ******. [i hope]

You weren't at the Liverpool game then.

Excellent cross from Sam for the 2nd
