Will probably end up at Villa again, with his old manager. He is better than Hammond though and for 2m depending on wages would be a welcome addition to the squad.

Best league in the world!...what a finish!

Would prefer QPR to stay up, we always seem to never beat Bolton. Can see Citeh and Sunderland scoring last minute goals here....

Thats the excuse I use to my missus when I visited that place in the past

Got this screen when I went to my bookmarks: Managed to get here via a link on google though. Anyone else have this or just me?

I've seen 3 Saints shirts at Uni this semester compared with seeing feck all in Perth ever, all worn by Jap looking lads. Guess its the Lee effect. Now we are getting Premier League exposure it can only give us more 'followers'. So basically these extra 3 shirts have given us an extra $300 to play with in the transfer window.

We have Fox for that so pointless imo.

think this tourney could have a Italia 1990 feel to it, whole nation thought we were going to do ****, didn't really do well, lucky to beat Cameroon getting to the Semi...then the whole country got behind the team and were unlucky against the Germans (again). We have a tough group so hope the country doesnt go mental if we don't make it, just get behind the lads whoever is playing and get a good atmosphere going. Makes these tournaments a lot better than the usual negativity that is banded about.

See Heskey is available on a free? HCNDAFU

basically it doesnt change anything from now. I'm not sure what to make of all this CL talk, yes NC has mentioned its our target but I'm intrigued at how we are going to manage this. Exciting times though I feel.

I don't agree with you often but you are spot on here. It means top clubs will have to tighten their belt, maybe transfer fees and wages will drop, but ultimately they will still be able to pay more etc due to all that extra worldwide income that clubs like Saints do not currently have coming in. Won't change the structure of the league too much imo.

Available on a free isnt he?

Would people take Anelka on a one year deal? Seems to have made a bad move to China, thought he was playing well at Chelsea and still don't know why they got rid, maybe him and Torres is too much for a team who mainly play a single striker. Seems to have matured well and isn't the spoilt brat that he was 10 years ago.....33 years old and could do a job for a season imo and would love to get back into the limelight of the PL again.... I know he isnt 'one for the future' which people bang on about but will need experianced prem players in there somewhere. Anyway will never happen......haha

Would be a good avenue to go down, although will we pay the supposedly 40k a week Okacha was on, I guess its ok on a short 2 year contract or something if no transfer fee is involved and they are not too much over the hill!

watching this on ESPN...can't understand a word Poyet says.

Always thought he would make a better left midfielder than a full back as defensively he is a bit suspect.

Think people said the same when we signed Paul Williams...he done alright. Then again we have signed some donkey centrebacks over the years as well - he may be another! Guess we got to trust our management team on our signings.

Crouchs volley earlier in the season is better than this one, both good goals though, scored a few like this in my time (yeah right).

Knight is prob worth a punt on a free as a squad player, experianced in the top flight. Better than Martin at the moment (expect to be loaned out) and Seaborne (to be sold imo).

I'm a bit worried by his last outing at this level but Sunderland were pretty **** all over the park that year. I'm sure if we had an option to bring in a better keeper we will but as stated above not an urgent issue.

Also think we will be scouring the Euro leagues hard for players that Newcastle for example managed to pick up.

Can't see NC missing an opportunity to increase revenue and get a stadium sponsor.

Paul Robinson when Bburn go down. Might be worth a sneaky punt for Defoe in the summer...maybe if we are going to spend a bit. Then again strikers is one area I dont expect us to spend too much on.

be interesting to see how good a manager he is at his next club when he hasnt the best team in Europe to choose from. I expect him to struggle tbh.

hope the result ends up like our last result needing a win to get into the CCC playoffs...
