Crouchie's Lawyer

Mods, can we have another new poll now please?

Wondering how much money I would win putting a bet on that Conte will be fired before MoPeyD1ck will be? Knew we would get a draw this evening and had a feeling Bournemouth would do Chelski too. Maybe I should start betting against Saints, at least there would be some silver lining to our sh!teness!

Regardless of whom you would prefer to be clapping, I have been told by a current player I bumped into a couple of weeks back that VVD is first choice, period. This is because the club are looking to sell him and he needs to be in the shop window. Hoedt and Yoshida to be rotated for the second position. Assuming all are fit that would suggest it will be Yoshida and VVD to face Everton in the next game as Hoedt played against Liverpool, Yoshida against Burnley and Hoedt against Brighton.

We won't bring in anyone if VVD goes, we already have his replacement in Hoedt. Two from Hoedt, Yoshida, Stephens and Bednarek is probably deemed sufficient by the club. We also have Gardos and a couple of youth players who could be called upon if needed. That's my opinion of the way the club view it by the way, not what I would do. I'd bring in another CB who could walk into the first team and either play him with Hoedt/Yoshida in a central pairing or play 3 at the back with Bertrand Cedric as wing backs, Lemina and Oriel in front of the back three, and Boufal just behind a top two of Gabbi plus Austin or a new striker we should bring in.

"In 25 minutes against Burnley we played well but I know it will be difficult and tough – we are playing a good side" Wow, a whole 25 minutes we played well against a Burnley side, at home! What about the other 65 minutes, you know, the MAJORITY of the game?? I'm not a big fan of churning managers every 5 minutes but I think old Les fecked up appointing this bloke, he just doesn't know what he is doing.

I have it on good authority (from a current first team player I bumped into a week ago) that VVD is only being played because the club want to sell him and he needs to be in the shop window. Yoshida and Hoedt have been told they will rotate for the other CB place which is why Hoedt didn't play against Burnley. I doubt he was sold in the summer because 1) allegedly no bids came in for him 2) having made such a stand on the 'we will not sell any of our best players' policy this summer, the fans would have turned big time on old Les had he gone back on his word.... again 3) Liverpool were the only club to allegedly be interested yet they had their hands tied due to the tapping up and could only make a move if we invited them to which we wouldn't as per point 2. If an acceptable bid comes along in January my opinion would be that we would sell him then. Not ideal I know but having spent such a large amount of money on Hoedt, I can't see him being happy sat on the bench one week on, one week off for the whole season so rather than end up with two Dutch CB's who are ******ed off and wanting to leave, they may just cash in on him in January.

Jim White said a lot of Saints fans have been texting in to say they would love him back. He then went on to say "Do you think you will ever return ...." and was going to say, "to the Premier League" but before he got there Nicola said "no, no I don't think I would..." before Jim White finished the rest of his sentence. Nicola then said "never say never (about returning to the Premier League) after something got triggered". Looks like he is coming back to the Premier League but not with us.

Trying to use sportsnationhd on my ipad to watch the game but it is saying I need to download adobe or clear my cache? I have cleared history and data in the right way but it is still saying the same thing? Anyone know how I can watch the game on my ipad? It worked for villa vs Newcastle earlier but not anymore???

I was able to watch the United WBA game so it isn't due to location restrictions. It just isn't showing on the channel guide?

Anyone else using Star Sports not able to get the Saints game today? First time one of our games hasn't been on there??

Game week 24 was won by 'Saints and Winners' - please could the owner of this team contact me as per the instructions on the forum of the Power Mortgages League. Guys, a lot of you who are in the Saints Forum league have joined the Power Mortgages and there are about 5 or 6 of you who have won gift vouchers but haven't given us your contact details so I haven't been able to send them out to you.

You could have £10 or £20 in gift vouchers waiting for you! Even if you haven't won, please email me your team name and contact details so I can send gift vouchers out straight away when you have won... it's becoming a bit of a pain trying to chase people who haven't given their contact details, you're losing out on free gift vouchers! Thanks!

Sorry to bump this again guys but there are a few people who are in the 'Saints Forum' Fantasy Football league who are also in the Power Mortgages League who have won gift vouchers along the line but haven't given me their contact details. Please, if you are also in the Power Mortgages League can you go onto the forum section of the league and check if you have won, please then contact me (my email address is in any posts on that forum) with your name and address and I will send out any gift vouchers you are owed or store your name/address for if and when you do when so I can send them out automatically.

No cost to enter either!

Anyone got any initial news on these? It's rumored Lovren has broken his leg which will be devastating to us if he has. I have seen a picture doing the rounds on Facebook of the exact moment that ginger **** caught Gaston too and his ankle is full on 90 degrees under Brown's boot. Wouldn't be surprised if that is a break or something similarly as serious too. Shame as Lovren as we know is class and without him, Jos or Yosh don't fill me with confidence and Gaston, to me, has looked positive each time he has come on recently. There is every chance he would have won us the game had Brown not chopped him down. How the ref didn't give that is beyond me. Hopefully both wont be out long but I fear we may not see either of them for a while.

Was that before or after they made the decision to go large on their McChips and Coke?

He averages over 14.5 per day actually, that's an extra 1.5 'Gashton's sh!t@' posts you've missed there Charlie

Don't mind stating my view. Ban the dullards that keep banging their individual drums; Barry, Glasgow and Turkish. Or as another poster suggested, restrict them to 3 posts a day and in my opinion, remove their ability to start new threads. Barry - comical (at least in his mind) variations on Gaston's name are tedious. You post on average 14-15 times a day too - do you not have a life?! Glasgow - troll of the highest order. Everyone look at me mentality which I am sure he is doing tongue in cheek. Was funny for first 5 minutes but you can bore off now bleating about all your internet friends and how you break scoops on signings etc. You start more threads than most people have hot dinners. Another one who seemingly has too much time on their hands. Turkish - constantly trying to come across as 'I all told you this, look at me'. Again far too much time on your hands >22k posts?! Don't get me wrong, I love saints and talk about them a lot but don't spend my life on a forum. It's the posters who contribute less who are better. The pinpoint for the forum going downhill was when they started to charge to use it or maybe around a year after that when the decent posters all left when they realized it may only be a fiver but that's a couple of pints in a cheap pub and better spent that way and talking to people face to face than be sat in front of a keyboard arguing with the same people who spend all day on here. When these better posters left it just meant the likes of the above could flood it with tripe. I get people are entitled to an opinion but banging that opinion down people's throat every 2 minutes on threads which are nothing to do with it is a bore. Most threads you are on Barry come back to your views about Gaston. Really?! There are still one or two decent posters but I fear they'll get bored after a while. Tokyo and Bear spring to mind here. They can contribute to serious conversation once in a while but don't take themselves too seriously, are good with banter and funny.

Is unotelly working ok at the moment or are people having problems? My free trial has come to an end and I don't wanna subscribe if the service isn't working anymore?

Got the same earlier mate. They unlocked it within 30 mins so you should be fine. Switch to Unotelly. Works fine for the time being. If I get a few weeks out of this one then have to switch to a new one, so be it. So long as I can watch Saints games in HD I don't care if it takes an hour or so setting up every few weeks. I'm cancelling Overplay though.

Excellent, Unotelly works. Works with excellent quality on the iPad too.. Gonna cancel Overplay who are cack now (I'm guessing as it has been said because AJS have caught onto them). Can only hope to keep one step ahead of AJS as they block all these different DNS settings by switching to new providers like Unotelly as you say
