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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The little p*mpey boat! Haha... Hopefully more of a Mane than an Elyonoussi

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would bin off Trippier, Lingard, Delph. Likelihood is that one of Redders and JWP will get cut too.

I am looking forward to the hand written sign in the Northam next season - #JusticeforNutkin

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.

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.

You didn't happen to be wearing a Saints shirt while doing the Marathon did you Warsash? Saw a chap around the half way mark and made sure I shouted out in support! I was there supporting a friend, massively inspiring being there. Although seeing the pain on people's faces during and after did make me question the chances of me doing it one day. Well done though. Hopefully Franny will be able to keep going today.

Nothing. As a quick glance to Manchester would find a club funded by a Gulf Oil state who have repeatedly broken FFP rules and have had no sanction.

There was an interesting point made last night on Sky News by someone who works for Institute for Government (or a similar organistion) re Labour, their 2017 manifesto and how they framed the debate away from Brexit. The speaker stated that her MP, who is Labour, barely mentioned Brexit during the election campaign. It was all about social mobility, income inequality etc. Obviously some of this was linked to Brexit, particularly around foreign workers but if you look at Corbyn's message and why it resounded so well particularly with young voters was because by not really mentioning Brexit, or at least by being ambiguous enough to allow people to assume that he would stop it or soften the eventual outcome very few people really questioned his position. Especially when it was easier to go after the ideas related to Nationalisation of services and the railways. The problem he and the Labour party have got now is that the vast majority of their membership are vehemently against Brexit in any form and won't accept a fudge again (hence how he has now been forced to advocate for a confirmatory 2nd referendum). But he knows if we do Remain in the EU, none of the nationalisation stuff can happen due to it being deemed as State Aid. (I know that other EU countries have publicly owned services but none of these were previously private, certainly not since Lisbon or Maastricht. What really makes me angry is the MP's who abstain on these matters. I can just about accept it from members of the Cabinet - but personally would rather they vote with the Gov. even if I don't agree with their stance. My MP, Richard Graham (Gloucester) voted against No Deal, Revoke A50; 2nd Ref and the Malthouse B thing; but then abstained on all the other votes. What is the point. Even if he voted against all of them, at least he would have had done his job! Obviously the situation changes very quickly these days, but as it stands the only way for her deal to get through would be by adopting the amendment to have a 2nd ref or possibly by changing the political declaration to incorporate a demand for a Customs Union. The DUP, despite them being pretty odious in terms of most of their policies are at least the only party standing up for the Union. I am also starting to wonder if the ERG and the other hardliners actually want Brexit at all. Maybe a dawning that if this goes wrong (no matter the type of Brexit) they will be blamed. Better to be on the outside, shouting against the wind.
