Golac's Iron Gonads

lucky to get a point. Would have liked to have seen Connolly off earlier, one up front and me might have bossed that midfield for longer periods.

People were wrong? Then you won't mind me bringing this up in 8 months.

My old man contacted Saints about a young forward playing for Hayes in the mid 90s, he got a reply saying thanks and that the player had been looked at and was not considered good enough, Jason Roberts was his name. Probably still not good enough.

Nope, not kidding. Just an opinion based on what I've seen of Saints (90 minutes) against Leeds, Torquay, Millwall, and what I've seen of Leicester, Blackpool and the other challengers (granted it's only been TV highlights). Enjoy your season.

I think play offs. But based on the games I've seen we've a real chance of automatic promotion barring a spate of injuries all occurring in the same perod.

I notice in the photo that Gerrard is hardly busting a gut to support Theo's forward surge, christ England are ****e.

That's not tight, relying on poor quality live streaming on your laptop is tight. But I don't want my money going anywhere near Murdoch.

Lowe was great at selling players for fine prices, he was just retarded when re-investing the profit.

Finally Brown is booked, let's have him with a red, delivered whilst he's on a stretcher.

Gettttttt in again!!!!! Looking great!! Good to be a saints fan again!

Harding looks bloody nervous!

I'm in the finding it amusing camp. That a squad member hasn't been singled out for the 1st cover might be a good thing, next issue stick the man of match against Leeds on the cover. No egos, only Cortese's.

I didn't like taking a **** there, let alone lay a pipe. I'll ask my dad though, it's highly likely he has a tale. He once blocked the loos in the San Siro, and he still uses that stadium's name as a euphemism when he needs to unload.

Did you used to work on 3-2-1?

Arguably other ex-players would be better for the 'team', but it has to be Le Tissier. The sheer pleasure of knowing that the best player in England is playing for us, that every game there will be a moment when he does something magical that no other English player could do, not always a goal, sometimes a pass, a flick or an amusingly laidback walk to the cornerflag. All that and knowing that he'll never leave us, even when the big boys come knocking. Knowing that every other fan, despite their teams success or history is envious that we get to see Matthew Le Tissier everyweek, whereas they only get to see him once a year.

Manager Lawrie Mcmenemy (his abilty to get big name players to a small club was staggering) GK - Peter Shilton RB - Ivan the terrible CB - Mark Wright CB - Dean Richards LB - Mark Dennis RM - Rod Wallace CM - Nicky Holmes CM/AM - Matt Le Tissier LM - Gareth Bale ST - Alan Shearer ST - Steve Moran

A band? No, thanks. However, I wouldn't be adverse to a solitary analogue synth making an occasional whoop-beep beep noise, add a bit of delay on it and it would be suffciently wierd enough to make me smile. Coming through the tannoy would be ideal.

This is the goal you're all looking for

It means we are only one division away from my South Korean students knowing who the team I support are. Unfortunately they don't show much live on TV here that isn't Man U (Park Jisung) or Bolton (Lee) related, but fortunately they do have the fastest internet in the world so let the streaming start! WE ARE GOING UP!

Didn't he used to carry blue and red victory signs? I recall him holding them aloft as he walked around the pitch, cheers for the red boos for the blue. As a kid I always though it was a political thing, looking back it was probably team colours, though Liverpool wore yellow in them days and that's the only time I'd see the sponging toerag.

mentions for Mark Dennis, Dave Watson, Ivan Golac and Mark Wright. Was underwhelmed by Keegan's signing as I am of the generation that had seen little of him playing having started watching football in early 79 and anyway we already had Channon and Moran.

I'd guess Nick Holmes too
