The OP missed the trick completely trying to find all the songs with Love in them, better to look for "Lovin". The obvious one is the Spencer Davis song, Gimme Some Lovin'. The chorus bit fits perfectly with Dejan's name, just need a hook for the final line So glad we made it So glad we made it Dejan Loveren Dejan Loveren Dejan Loveren Every Day

In the 1960s I don't think I even knew what a Brazilian was. So how is Window Cleaner related to Raul Sanchez?

No it isn't. You are the only one who has ever used it. It is pathetic and insulting. Pinocchio is Phil Thomson, always has been always will be. If you want to use his nickname its The Sherriff (or whatever that is in Spanish, El Sheriffo or whatever).

Not only that but the data is provided by Opta, so can't even blame Bloomberg.

He should go on loan to Spain, Germany or Italy with a top division club where he can improve his football rather than to a Championship team where he will only get game time and not develop his skills. Too many PL players go on loan to the Championship instead of taking the overseas route.

Not forgetting that we have not announced the new kit yet either, we are doomed because of this lack of professionalism.

Alpine expects us to do all our business in early June like Man Utd did last season (although actually they didn't). He expects this despite the fact that the transfer window is not even open yet (opens on 1st July). He also thinks that because we are pursuing one target we cannot multi-task. He also likes to ignore the facts, he suggests we ignored the defence despite signing Clyne, Yoshida, Boruc (and Gazza) who last time I looked were integral parts of our defensive set up together with Shaw who was clearly going to make the step up. But hey, you are accused of trotting out the same mantra, an accusation made by mantra man himself. Tiresome but at least it is a little amusing to read when there is nothing else going on. I was almost beginning to think Alpine had perhaps seen the light and gone away to provide an equal level of support to some other sucker team.

Old codger!! Is that any way to refer to John Mortimore?

Think Pearson would be a definite improvement actually

Le Saux was OK

He only played for us once!!! To answer the question, no, 4 years after he played for Russia.

Lawrie Mac didn't seem very ostracised to me when he was outside SMS before the Stoke game signing autographs and posing for pics (even one with me) for over half an hour. It was great to see a lot of kids who probably did not even know who he was talking to him, and it was great that he had so much time for everyone, hope his missus was not too upset. Hampshire cricket bloke can go do one in my opinion, irrelevant to Saints.

I just hope we avoid "Jason eau de toilette"

This maybe the key, Uruguay sub him on rather than off, perhaps he would be even better if we brought him on at half time.

Are Fulham the new QPR? Doing all their business in June, a great model to follow from last summer, 1 in 3 of players announced/signed before end June in the PL. They actually have not signed anyone, since the summer transfer window does not open until 1st July. Only announcements can be made before then unless players were unattached free agents when the previous window closed.

Nothing wrong with 50+ either...

Could you post a picture so that we can compare?

I guess Royovic Hodgsonovic was managing Yugoslavia at the time and did not know where Southamptonovic was and so didn't pick one of the greatest ever right backs for the national team. Incredible he only got 1 cap.

Thank God for that, we are not 2nd. Would have been embarrassing to be runners-up in this table as well.

So you think that almost 100% of players in Spain are not only Spanish but also under 21. Amazing. Carles Puyol looks a bit older to me, and Ronaldo is Portuguese, Messi Argentinian and there are a fair few Brazilians (players that is). perhaps you have misunderstood somewhat.

Being offered a deal is not the same as signing, so don't think he has signed yet. Might happen now that he is officially released. A day to savour. He is probably just waiting to see if he gets a call from Mourinho before agreeing a contract with the Gills.

Welcome to Jimmy, the ****heroe Kid. Should keep Alpine happy getting our business done early. God sake, C L I T H E R O E

Did he? I think he was offered a contract at Gillingham. He won't have signed yet. Could be wrong.

What does this mean? Our numbers last season seemed perfectly logical to a large degree, with the exceptions of Lallana and Puncheon who chose to keep the numbers they had. The only other slight oddity was giving Yoshi the number 3 but better he had it than Fox.
