  1. He is a good player, but has been in and out of the team since he joined. If we can recoup or even better the fee and re-invest then that is the best outcome for all concerned. This may not need to be a direct replacement either, rather using the fee towards higher wages for a better CB (for example).
  2. From what I have seen of him (the odd Derby game and England u21's) he has a horrific mistake in him at all times and often covers this by sheer pace. There aren't many young CB's out there currently who I feel are as attainable though, so it does make sense that we would take a look.
  3. Didn't realise we were even playing them - when is it?
  4. Let's be honest though. There would be plenty of fans who would moan that the shirt was 'boring' or 'dull' etc. The sponsor is pretty naff, but we have had worse imho - the Flybe logo was dreadful in every guise. I do like the look of the third shirt but will reserve judgement until I see actual examples.
  5. As we approach this threads 10 year anniversary, are there any plans to celebrate? Maybe a quick recap of what has happened in the last decade or a list of the best posts?
  6. Birmingham supporter who I work with is resigned to losing Adams this window - says he is clearly destined for bigger, better things. Still a little raw, will make mistakes but for £14m would be a steal; she compared directly to Maddison price last year.
  7. He clearly shouldn't have got involved and the hand around the neck was not great - but I am fed up with protesters who seem to think that there will be no consequence for their actions. Think back to when Prescott thumped the bloke on the election trail. Never liked Two Jags politics but I respected him for getting a few off in response. Climate change is a serious topic and to be fair the government and the opposition parties are finally starting to treat it as such - the UK needs to move much quicker and further but in comparison with a lot of western countries with a similar sized economy they are doing pretty well. So easy for Labour politicians to scream 'outrage' sack him etc, put them in the same situation and see what they would do.
  8. VAR is sh*t. I would rather have the wrong decisions, the controversy and the standard big club bias instead of this cr*p. Next season is going to be chaos, especially in the first few months.
  9. Always a bit suspicious of strikers from Scotland, in the same way that many strikers in the Dutch league aren't quite as good as their stats suggest. I suppose the advantage of Turnbull is that he is young and we can legitimately use the pathway that the likes of Van Dijk, Wanyama etc have gone through to tempt him (in addition to the wage he will get compared to Celtic). £5m bid would be relatively risk free - if it doesn't work out, there will plenty of Championship clubs or Celtic who would be keen to have him at that price.
  10. The problem for any new leader is that the Parliamentary arithmetic remains the same. No Deal (although the default) is the least popular option available and there are plenty of Conservative MP's who will bring down any government that tries to force this through. A General Election is the most likely scenario (early December is my best guess) with another Hung Parliament and a Labour-LibDem coalition.
  11. The little p*mpey boat! Haha... Hopefully more of a Mane than an Elyonoussi
  12. You mean the goal that stopped them having any chance of getting promoted automatically? Yeah, I would have been very p'd off too! I would be very happy with Jansson as a replacement for Hoedt or Stephens.
  13. Sir David Attenborough Any (and all) of the Monty Python lot (including Cleese) Have I Got News for you and any Political satire Antiques Roadshow The BBC News - seem to p*ss off the Left and the Right, which means they are doing a perfect job.
  14. I don't mind the shirt - I am probably not going to buy the home one; the third kit is the most likely at the moment. I still believe we should have abandoned stripes and kept the sash - unique in English football, save the Palace away shirt - and would be very difficult to mess up.
  15. Two questions: How old is your daughter? Have you worked out where you are going to dump his body? I would consider lulling him into a false sense of security, maybe even be extra nice to him - she might hate that you 'like' him and end up dumping him.
  16. A second vote should always be seen as the last resort. We are now very close to this being the case. The problem with the deal (and probably any deal) is that it is a compromise and therefore pleases no-one. At least with a binary WTO v Remain vote, everyone would know the position. If a 2nd ref is called however, the Remain side need to do a better job of extolling the virtues of the EU rather than simply scare the s*** out of people about WTO No deal etc. I expect that the Brexit party will win the biggest share of the votes today, but 'Remain' parties - Greens, Lib-Dems, Change, SNP and Plaid will be equal them with their combined percentage - the great unknown is how Labour will fare. In strong remain areas they may do quite well; in the Leave constituencies (particularly in the North) they are probably going to struggle. Conservatives will finish 5th or 6th overall.
  17. Just because he is rich and he has rich mates means b*gger all. QPR 'technically' has Lakshmi Mittal as one of their owners. He is worth a reputed £18billion.
  18. One of the chief reasons why Pelle worked at Saints, was because we had Tadic. Too often English clubs buy strikers from Holland or Portugal etc and don't seem to look at why or how they score their goals. If the majority of the goals are two yard tap ins from crosses; and you don't play a system that includes wing-backs...it isn't going to work. The need this summer is pacey players with technical ability and a couple of energizer bunny tanks in the midfield. If we can find a striker that is able to fit in to RH's system then added bonus.
  19. The problem for the Conservative Party is the membership - it is almost entirely over 60 years old and dying. The average age is 72! I attended a local party meeting last year and I was the youngest person (at 33) by 15 years. I expected the majority to be old and white, but it was actually shocking. The really scary thing was when I spoke to other members about policy and the party. It was like going back in time 40 or 50 years in terms of attitudes. One woman actually suggested that they should bring back hanging for gay people! Now of course this doesn't necessarily represent the whole party, but I am confident that a significant proportion of it is similar. Theresa May is the worst Prime Minister since Anthony Eden, and he was doped up and mentally shot by the time he took office. I genuinely don't see the Conservative Party surviving past the next general election in its current form. A fundamental split has occurred and unless Nigel snuffs it in the next year, there is no way back. The only saving grace currently is that the Brexit Party has no policies - it is simply a protest vote. If the Labour party had a 'Blairite' pro-European in charge they would be surging in the polls.
  20. People who smoke weed - it stinks and we can all smell it! Drivers who drive 10 miles under 50 mph limit, then drive 10 miles over 30 mph limit Fans who say "we, us etc" when they have never even been to the city of the club they support, let alone seen the team live. Anyone who uses the phrase "Low-hanging fruit" or any business speak. I would quite happily kill them on the spot. Vox-Pops on News programmes: I am pretty sure hearing the thoughts of Tony and Sheila outside of Greggs on a Tuesday afternoon is not necessarily going to be that enlightening.
  21. If we play decent football and we can bring in a few more players that are attuned to RH's style of play then we will be fine. 12th position, securing safety in mid to late March with a nice cup run would be good. There is a lot of deadwood that need to go - but they are always the trickiest to shift. We need pace pace pace in the team with a solid spine. Promotion of the kids will help. We will know pretty quickly where we will be. My prediction is that the following teams will be in and around the relegation zone all season: Burnley; Brighton; Sheff Utd; Norwich; Bournemouth (expect their better players to be raided over the summer); Villa/Derby *(the latter in particular because of the number of loan players and the possibility that Lampard may end up going to Chelsea). Winning more home games is key.
  22. I would bin off Trippier, Lingard, Delph. Likelihood is that one of Redders and JWP will get cut too.
  23. I am looking forward to the hand written sign in the Northam next season - #JusticeforNutkin
  24. It would be interesting to compare and contrast this thread with the Skate forums when they were bought by the Lithuanian crime syndicate or the Ice cream seller or the bloke that didn't exist or the son of a wanted arms dealer... I know that fans can do b*gger all to effect things now, but it's still nice to see the majority of Saints fans (not only on here but on social media) do have some semblance of a moral compass and worry about the state of our club.
  25. On the odd occasion that someone has lost their cool he tends to hide behind his security team pretty quickly. It is an awful TV show, exploitative and something akin to a Witch Trial or Bear baiting. I know that the participants don't have to go on it, but when you are promised cash, free night in a hotel and you don't have a lot to begin with...plenty of examples of people with mental health issues who don't necessarily know what they are letting themselves in for.
