The Kraken

Burnley are singing Danny Ings http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/9195608.We_need_boost_of_Ings_signing__says_Burnley_boss/ So it would tie in with the previously suggested idea that they would sell J-Rod when they have a replacement lined up.

Any club. The ruling in itself is a good one, but doesn't go far enough IMO. Just 4 out of matchday squad of 16 have to be homegrown; nowhere near enough to make any difference at all.

Tres bete. Your thread was a moment of idiocy when you started it. You were called up on the idiocy at the time by many, many people (I didn't have to wait two months to contradict your nonsense, neither did half of this message board, so it would seem). With hindsight your original thread is ten times more stupid than it started out; which is an achievement in itself. And it's telling that pretty much the only clown you could find to fit your originally quite preposterous notion was an Austrian based calamitous individual who has a huge catalogue of being proven wrong with various doom-laden predictions. Well done for grouping yourself amongst such illustrious company. Ca marche?

I'm not sure what's worse. The fact you thought it was funny in the first place. Or the fact that you thought it was so funny that 2 forums would get up and go from it.

MLG has already stated that we should be re-developing St Mary's right now so that when/if we get to the Premier League we have a ready built bigger stadium that will fit in all of our regular 40K+ crowds, and so fit our obvious potential for being one of the biggest clubs on the planet. It's close to being a flawless plan. I fail to see a downside.

At the rate we're (allegedly) looking to spend it'll need to be a 9 month plan.

I'm fully expecting 2; a striker and a centre back. Any more would be a complete bonus. Can't believe the 5 year plan will still apply after all this though. Significant investment and I'm sure pressure will be on NA to deliver. The future is bright, the future is red and white.

Totti de Carvalho is the shiniest man I've ever seen.

Ours? Maybe; but then we were second in away attendances, only behind Sheffield Wednesday. Couldn't say off hand what the Championship was like, but there is a definite north-west skew for professional clubs. Take a map, find Huddersfield, draw an 80 mile radius circle with it at the centre and see how many football clubs are inside it.

Its not quite that simple though; yes they're smallish towns but look at their geographical location and just how many potential away games they have within a hundred miles. London games for us are seen as almost local, and that's 80 miles or so.

A Bournemouth fans forum quoting a twitter rumour. Hardly cast iron. But if we do bring in a CB it looks like Seaborne would most likely be the one out of the door. Martin is one for the future, Jaidi will likely be number 3 if a new man comes in, if not he'll play his fair share of games with Fonte.

Perfectly put.

Nonsense; Jose Fonte is dreamy.

Your first paragraph, of course I completely agree. Yesterday I was branded a Cortese-hater, a Lowe-luvvie, and told to go support another club; all by the same poster!! I'd like to think I take a balanced view on all things Saints, but if one random nutcase needs to look at life that way then it's really not going to bother me, there are plenty of other good people on here who are capable of engaging in rational debate. I take slight issue with your second paragraph. There seems to be a way of thinking by some that this whole situation is designed to exert a level of control over the type of content that gets distributed by the media outlets at football grounds; a sort of censorship, if you will. I'm not sure (yet!) whether I go along with that. I think it really is, as you very rightly point out, commercial exploitation. IMO the clubs are not looking to restrict any media outlets from coming to grounds, and publishing match stats, information reoprts etc. They're just looking to make sure that they all pay the club to do it. So really the clubs are just trying to squeeze ever-more money out for themselves. And I wholeheartedly agree that it is not good for the game, because the costs will mean that the choice on offer will become vastly diminished.

Well done for changing your mind. I assume you're talking about me as having an "anti-Cortese" agenda. Strange then, that I was supportive of the club in that very thread. As I have been in various other threads. How very odd.

Please stop with your ridiculous wind-up charade will you. It's thoroughly tedious, as are you.

It's worthy of a bump, just for a laugh.

Will you promise to stop being so utterly tedious, predictable and boring if he actually does?

To be fair, that thread was started by Professor and consisted of him being a tw*t and most people shouting him down about it and telling him to get real. EDIT: Here's the link: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?31091-Ambition-where-s-the-evidence Quite funny really, barely anyone agrees with the quite obvious nonsense he was spouting. Spitting and wailing in early June that we hadn't made enough transfers; where have I heard that before? A certain OP was curiously totally in agreement with him on page 1.......

We are. MLG will be along soon to back it up with facts, and reasoning why we need to start building our 50K stadium right now.

Me too, I can see plenty of gaols this year.

Opinions! I asked my Celtic ST holder mate and he said he's quality and should do a very good job for us.

Edit: forget it, I read your post wrongly!!

None whatsoever, you or I could create an account in seconds under any given name and make up bullsh!t to our heart's content. There are obviously a few who have form with being proved right (fourth official is decent) but many, many of them of are just whackos looking for a bit of attention.
