The Kraken

I reckon 7m or 8m is achievable.

Unless you’re a child there’s only a very limited number of foods that it’s acceptable to have ketchup with. Burger, fries, fish finger sandwich, that’s about it (and the FF sandwich has to have tartare sauce as well).

Overall, the actual games in Italia 90 were fairly dreadful. Obviously England getting so far, New Order, the general filming of it all, everything made it a competition that many remember so fondly. But there was a record low number of goals scored across the tournament and many attribute it as one of the biggest contributors to the bringing in of the backpass law. I loved Italia 90, right down to the goal nets, but the tournament as a whole is certainly viewed through rose tinted specs. 1986 was a real occasion, I remember watching much of it but not really old enough to fully appreciate it. USA 94 crap for many reasons, mostly us not being in it, but just a soulless experience. France 98 was brilliant right up to Beckham acting the twat.

It’s probably for the best.

One of the rumours at the time was that it was Dave Jones’ wife, after Rupert visited their house and told Jones he was suspended.

I believe the notion was that if they didn’t win the league one year, Man U would just spend a load of money the next season and win it. Easy job, anyone could do it, Ferguson was overrated.

I thought you didn’t drink? Especially during a transfer window. Tsk.

You might need more than 1…

When I saw the leaked one I thought it could be a solid white back. Which is still what I think it could be. Best sponsor we’ve had since Draper Tools. Unless it’s all a big ruse…..

Ah, here’s the other “don’t be horrible to my Wussel”. Well done.

You’re neglecting his flawed ruse whereby he thought that the points deduction would be null and void as Southampton Leisure Holdings went into administration, and not the football club. He was so confident of it as well. The geezer was, and still is, a complete cunt. Edit: I may well be wrong but I thought the this year / next year thing wouldn’t have applied to us anyway. As in, if you get relegated through natural points total, ban is next year. Cant really remember it al that well tbf.

Stop being horrible to Wussel!

Yeah remember that well, proper front page news at the time. Didnt think the numbers would be quite as low as they are though.

You don’t say.

Blimey, I looked it up, hardly any (according to transfermarket only six in history, another site says seven). And according to wiki, none that won a full cap for the national side.

Nice beever, jones.

Yeah, the article said there is a huge amount of work to be done in interviewing witnesses and reviewing all the footage from cctv and peoples phones. Given the sheer amount of footage that has been released already (which I refuse to watch) he’s band to rights, but they seem intent on ramping up the severity of each charge to the maximum (rightly so).

According to Beeb the trial won’t be until November. He is behind bars though, there was no application for bail.

If he fits a Will Still lineup then ok, we know what es capable. I feel a bit concerned as to the fact that we binned him out, how is he coming back? Don’t know. Also he’s neither a striker nor a winger, Martin (quite successfully) employed a system that accommodated AA and in fact prioritised him. We’ll see how WS treats it.

16 games 3 goals in his last stint in the championship. There’s no reason he can’t replicate that form either. Adam Armstrong has scored 20+ in a season twice in his career. “Guaranteed 20” is doing some heavy lifting if you think that’s what we need to replace.

Well done Crag Lungs for posting that scoop first 👍

Thats one big thing that annoyed me with him in our championship season (and I pretty much enjoyed most of that ride). If we lost or played below par he’d say “that’s entirely one me, that’s my fault”. But then the question of resolving it, not making the same mistakes? “I believe in the system and we’ll keep doing it”.

Turkish the Sheik 😳 I bow down to our new overlord (please don’t behead me).

There’s a difference between “effectively on strike” and “on strike”. We know only too well how footballers can engineer a solution that means they don’t play. Flynn Downes did it this season, if we believe the reports. I’m sure he still got paid. Fraser was only ever going to a bit part at best. Once Martin went, and as said with a bloated (mediocre) squad there was no way in for him. And he has a history, so wouldn’t be surprised either way.
