the saint in winchester

"A good spine these days is hard to find" (apologies to Feargal Sharkey)

Gentlemen - and that rather fine lady on Draino's avatar, There may be MANY 24 hours where we don't sign anyone. It just builds the excitement for the next signing and gives us a chance to gather a head of steam and overcome with anticipation. Who are we predicting next? I think that Scottish midfielder will be next - the wee man as recommended by the wee man.

same for all us. It's just that one video, to be fair. It's fun to listen to Will Cope in an eternal stutter, though. :-) I have to say the Saints Player - from what I've seen - is damn good. Apart from this one playback, the videos are crystal clear with DAB sound. Sweeeet (as my son would say!)

Notts County have said this morning they won't - and they're not interested in him. This may be a wild shout, but why not go in for him. He won't get 90k a week any more, the clubs that pay that don't want him. Look - if my information is true - he lives in Sparsholt (Winchester village), so it's time for him to play for his local club. What's our top salary? 15k? Offer him that. AP/NC do a good job in 'selling the dream' to players, so not try for Sol Campbell? They promised us surprising and exciting signings. This would surprise and excite!

With reference to my previous published works on the subject (ahem) I would like to share with the group that I have now purchased tickets for the popular beat combo COLD PLAY. My son will be happy to hear that much (as he'll be awarded the second ticket). What I shall mumble to him in case his mother hears is that the support act is - among some people I've never heard of, like White Lies (who?) and Jayzee, are the uniquely talented - and I mean that in the nicest possible way - GIRLS ALOUD !!!! Oh mama, oh mama ....

Do we have a comment (an official comment) on Rasiak's situation? Assume his absence on Saturday and AP's post-match comments about pausity of forwards infers Greg has decided his future lies elsewhere and he won't be in the red and white this season? Lambert - he's the rough and tough we need up front. Not sure of his quality but I trust AP. I would have liked to see us go after Jermaine Beckford, but hey ho.

Well, I wasn't familiar with her - but I've just done a bit of "forensic research" and she's an absolute stunner, I grant you that. Mr Brute. I won't ask how you came to be familiar with her work??? Unless you'd like to share it with the group?

My point was related to the OP comment "we hope to be able to bring in one of these shortly". My response was "I HOPE to sleep with Cheryl Cole SHORTLY" ... as in "I might hope it, but it ain't gonna happen any time soon, and probably not at all." While we're back on topic, I'd go for that bird off Slumdog Millionaire myself - Freda Payne, or something.

No, according to their own website, this is about wanting to send the other 2 reserve keepers out on loan to give them experience for when James retires. Niemi is coming in as #2 keeper for this season ahead. If he still cuts the mustard, then Poopey will benefit. If he has lost the old magic, they'll have to get one of the loanees back pdq.

we hope to be able to bring in one of these shortly I hope to sleep with Cheryl Cole SHORTLY ...... I'll let you know if it comes to pass.

Spot on, Invicta. You have a history of concise and cogent articulation and this adds to it.

.... for a specific period of time before a game ... a reference to the Ferguson/goalie episode. Not that they are asked to be tee-total during their whole career. :-)

Anyone for Shi-ttu? (if you'll pardon my sneeze) 0928 BST: Bolton manager Gary Megson says he is prepared to listen to offers for defender Danny Shi-ttu. (Bolton Evening News)

14.45 Bristol City boss Gary Johnson has told Lee Trundle he can look for a new club. SSN website today.

As it's unreserved seating, it'll be first come, first served, so get there early if you want to sit in your own seat number/row. Otherwise a big bruiser may be there first. :-)

Was on Play Radio this morning 8:30am bulletin. Admittedly, they probably took it off the Echo report. Hope this comes to pass. He's what we need.

Me neither. Maybe Mr Luker can clarify the position with an announcement.

Is this a REPLACEMENT for Saintstv? I renewed my SaintsTv membership not long ago, paid my £30, so don't see why I should pay AGAIN! My SaintsTV sign-on doesn't get me access ...

I think Revolution's comments above are appropos, but I'll add another option. 4) If you can lose (half) a stone, I'll offer you a contract. FWIW, I'd sign him now before someone else does.

Haha, good one. "The name's Coffey, like the drink, ma'am, only spelt different .." Great movie!

You got your wish! Sky Sports website says "he has left ..." not 'will leave' but 'HAS left'. As in "Elvis has left the building .." Now we watch the door to see who comes IN.

looks like Robbie Earle. Maybe he's lined up as a pundit on the new League show on BBC1 and getting an early look at our lineup.

Have to say I'm with you. Let's see him on trial. If he still cuts the mustard, then I'd rather he sat on OUR bench.

£30, it wasn't and I never watched when we lost. Maybe it will be worth watching this year! Woudn't hurt to put some commentary on it. Razza was the Drogba's Ballacks in the Hearts game. Well up for it - for whatever reason (see other threads).
