Polaroid Saint

We are five years into a five year plan. The primary goal of which was to leave saints in the top half of the top division and able to survive 'within our means' as dictated by the rules governing the game. That has been, to all our joy, amazement and gratitude, achieved. We do have to sell (players, tickets, shirts) in order to fulfil the goals of that plan. Part of the plan was to have our own way of generating cash from player sales by the development of decent young players. This was never hidden and was always part of the plan. Or 'Project'. I am failing to see where anyone really has a problem with this and also failing to see any point to all these insider rumours and gossip. Was Lovren really sold a longer term plan by NC and MP? Hmmm. When everyone else knew we already ahead of the plan and it had just a year left to run? Hey maybe, I dunno. Just seems the club did absolutely everything it promised. With the failure to 'get into Europe' of course. Next plan next. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

Keep lurking and report back Art. This is good stuff. Bloody scouse always surprise. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

'Titanic leaves Southampton' 'Saints interested in Carpathia'

However, we must remember it was later rediscovered and became a legend. Earning it's new employers hundreds of millions of dollars along the way. If only there were a sell-on clause, James Cameron would owe Southampton big time.

A very good question. Although I wonder how Arsenal feel about not exercising such a clause and letting Febregas go to Chelsea?

aha! But I fondly remember the extra revenue in shirt sales. Happy days. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

Great word that. Although surely it should be Americanizing? ;-)

Lols

Can you utter fools stop using the word 'rape' to talk about football transfers. It makes my skin crawl to read it and makes you look stupid and heartless. I know it is technically correct but really. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

This WOULD be a dagger. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

Having only ever met the man briefly*, I'd say 'muddled' is as apt a description as any. Not the most flattering description, but hey, lets be honest. Quite sweet and a very nice guy, a decent bro, but a little shy and, yeah, muddled. *This was before the England call up, of course. After which, I understand, he turned into a Machiavellian mastermind! ;-) Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

Here here. Now onwards Saints! Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Nicely put! I am gonna nick that line about our attack and use it elsewhere! Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Sounds like the perfect fit in every respect. Quite keen to see if Oswaldo is invited back into the squad or not too FF. You never know; after all he was bought as Lambert replacement in the first place! Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

To compliment the Southampton Way I hear we are opening a new training facility in northern Iraq, near the Turkish boarder; The Southampton Kurds.

Always wanted a dash cam, as I feel sure I am missing loads of meteorites exploding in the sky and elk bouncing off truck bonnets and the like. Doing lots of traveling this summer up and down the country... ...if you still need a tester.

We are historically very good at cherry picking the best young players from elsewhere at around 12/13. Most other academies easily beat our youngest teams (u7 u9 u11) and are full of better youngsters. We then 'scout' the best ones for our youth set up and give them much more time in training (much smaller numbers in year groups than most 'rival' academies) and playing time through the club system (as is the goal of all teams in the EPPP, we have just been doing it for longer). Our academy is also bloody brilliant for all the other reasons mentioned of course, however - and although it is a little harsh to admit - it is a large part of our success that we don't 'waste time' with really young kids or try the 'cast a net' approach with our large 'catchment area' - leave that to Arsenal and Chelsea Soccer Schools etc.

I hope it has no visible branding as that to me (inverse fashion snob) is much cooler! :-p Unless it's by Akumu Ink or someone, and then a little skull detail on the sleeve would be neat. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Awh, but if you had posted the link, that would have made 'multiple sources' linking to it. That's enough to make it gospel on here! Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Brilliant. We can't afford to let Michu go. The board has lost control! Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

I am also a skinny ****. Therefore, can you please elaborate on as to how you know the new kit is ill fitting. Have you tried it on? Or do you just mean it is not suitable? Thank you. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Track suit is white with grey and yellow? I have found an early preview pic: Clearly an attempt to 'Scouse Up' Staplewood and St.Marys so the players don't leave.

Aye. I responded with similar comments chaps. Thought best to pass it on regardless. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

This is doing the rounds on social media.
