Nice story, but how did you wash your shirt? Handwash? Machine setting? Stereotypical Chinese guy with a pointy hat and slitty eyes?

I call bullfish on that one.

You mean the guy who calls himself Mark Saunders from the entire county of Gloucestershire is, in your opinion. Rupert Lowe based on the fact that he lives in the same county? ........Just when you think you have seen it all............

Some people on this forum can't even cope with waking up in the morning. Roll on the new season! (but not too soon)

How far can we stretch the bad taste? Just throw the shirt in the bath with an epileptic.

Never heard of him (I'm an old fart) Seeing the video though, my respects and RIP.

TBF, you are usually lambasted for historically talking bowlocks. Old habits die hard.

As it happens, I work in the worlds' biggest washing machine factory, so I am a bit of an expert on the subject. My tip? Avoid factory work. It sucks out your soul, and replaces it with misery. Oh, and don't buy a machine that Ihave worked on, because I seriously don't give a crap.

What he said didn't make him a pr!ck either. Buy a sense of humour if you can't develop one. I was not offended by what he said, and I am a woman! (albeit not a proper one)

Yeah, bickering about what the hell to do with our 100,000,000 quid begging bucket. Wow! That was a lot of zeros to type! That actually surprised me! LOL

It's not asset stripping or board incompetence. It is the brutal reality of Premier league finances, liberally blended with the love of money and a lack of the concept of club loyalty that we remember from yesteryear.

This is an excellent point, and one that needs to be remembered and re-iterated whenever needed. Darn, I wish you hadn't mentioned it though.......I'm already struggling to keep my spirits up.

What is an Ebsfleet?

The first quote (yours) is the very first response in this thread.

Classic.

CL is important for clubs and their owners, for the players, it's just a red herring they throw out there to avoid the embarrassment of saying they want a shedload of cash.

Begging buckets. It's obvious. Clearly you never studied at the LSE.

I can't pick any bones with this post. Spot on IMO.

There is another option. That is to use the academy, sell the players that want to go. Don't spunk all the sales cash on new players and hold back half the transfer fees to increase wages over time, maybe five years. That way, we become a bigger club over time rather than have a do or die situation. This has been a very scary summer, but we do not know the plans of the board yet. It could all still work out well in the end, I think.

Yeah, but 21,000 of those posts were yours....So I didn't read them.

I understand the dismay at all our sales, and am very, very worried about what comes next. However, with the exception of RL, the players are leaving because they can get close to double their money elsewhere or to join legend clubs. Any talk of Euro footy is nonsense. It's mostly about the cash. With that in mind, what are Saints supposed to do? Up the wage budget to compete in a scenario that could easily lead to financial ruin? Or reboot and start again with a plan that could possibly repeat our problems with players leaving if we have another successful season? I'm not happy with either scenario if I'm honest, but really, I'd rather have this uncertainty than to hear that we were spunking double the cash on players wages when those players are here on such a tenuous affiliation. I have not wet the bed yet, but I'm having to pinch it off a little. However, I'll take our financial security over taking the Pompey route any day!!!!

You have obviously not seen the movie. She was white hot in that. I dunno if she even had a line or anything, I was just transfixed.

gee, thanks for that!! I want my sperm cells back!!!!!

He shouldn't wear white. He looks like a swan vesta. Good news though!!

Saints fans getting a lot of respect on Talkcrap regarding our stoic reaction to all our players being sold.......Obviously they do not read this forum.
