I'm at work, so streamless. Keep us updated! :-D

True dat.

>> It was Sheffield United >> I remember that game. We had quite a few injuries iirc and were all expecting a defeat. A completely freak result.

I've seen Bialkowski and Gazzaniga play. As back up, I was more confident in Bialkowski, although I understand Gazza is still young and learning. Both made blunders - I remember Bart's against Blackpool - Callum McManaman scored through Bart's legs. Who'd be a goalkeeper eh!

The team I chose is based on what I believe Pochettino would choose. Davis and Jos were both first choices at the tail end of last season, although I agree both could and probably should be upgraded upon.

There's thousands of strikers in the world - I'd rather we signed one of them. There's no denying Remy has talent, but he also has baggage, is a money-grabbing crapweasel and could potentially cause disharmony within the squad. Not for me ta.

Thanks! That answer's the question I've never got around to asking...

Always good to learn more about Saints history. I'm usually confined to Duncan's books to learn about our past.

Last picture in that article. I believe we haven't seen as many transfers coming in this summer as we thought because we're planning on using the youngsters more this season. I saw JWP play against Man Utd in the early stages of last season and thought he looked very composed. Him and Shaw will have a big part to play this season. It'll be interesting to see how much we use players like Isgrove and Chambers though. I'd love to see a winger like Isgrove come in and nail down a spot this season. (Much as that would annoy Puncheon...)

PutTogetherIn2MinsXI will pwn this league. (And for the first time in years I've excluded Lampard, who has always been a trusty points scorer for me.)

I reckon the next week goes as following: 1) We sign a striker 2) We get all excited for a day and post about him and feel good about ourselves. 3) A day later we all go back to moaning about the lack of creative attacking midfielders in our squad and lack of centre backs of good quality. Typical football fans really! Let's hope we bring in that striker at least - I can actually see Lambert playing behind a striker...

A completely inadequate replacement for Oxlade-Chamberlain, (you could say we still haven't signed one, although Punch has improved) but in the grand scheme of things it didn't matter, as we still achieved promotion. Had he been with us as a youngster, I reckon we could've nurtured him into being the player we so hoped we'd signed when he arrived. Still, best of luck in your future endeavours.

I think we should trump them and sign Justin Bieber. I'm not sure how good a footballer he is, but he can't be much worse than Anthony Pulis..... can he?

I'd use the wet shave on them, but my Parkinsons makes it dangerous... :-D

No armpit hair. *****es need to be groomed, the younger they are when they achieve this the better. I'd even groom the young ladies myself if it means starting them off in life correctly. Having read that line again, I believe it could be misconstrued...

Still too early to tell IMO. As it stands though, our strongest team is: Boruc, Clyne, Lovren, Jos, Shaw, Morgan, Wanyama, Davis, Ramirez, JRod, Lambert. Whether that's what happens depends on illness, injury, how far they are into pre-season and of course transfers, both incoming and outgoing. To conclude with my first statement, it's still too early to tell.

I'll say one hing about the Caulker deal - Cardiff didn't hang about with that! News only filtered through about it this morning and he was signed by six pm. Swift stuff from Cardiff - must've been concerned they'd be trumped at the 11th hour.

I thought he won the "SWF ITK of the year" award? Non?

I can't see Millwall getting relegated. They've made some solid signings. Scott McDonald will score goals, Jermaine Easter will get a few too, and they've also signed Chaplow, Nicky Bailey, Lee Martin, Stephen Bywater and Steve Morison. Lomas is doing good things down there, I have them as a sneaky tip to make the play-offs. I'd also take 9th if offered now, pending us giving both cups a bloody good go.

I'd have thought our biggest Villan was Steven Davis. :-)

Surprised. Thought he'd go to either West Brom or even back to Swansea. I think he'd be good for us, and I know we run out the "his brother plays in our academy" line, but it's true, and you'd think he'd want to aid his development. We needs to get Jake to have words with his big bro, and fast!

Because they pulled off that last day freak away win against City. Without that, a game I'd have happily bet on them losing (and would have lost of course), we'd have finished above them. Albeit on goal difference. With about 10 more goals scored. Norwich started well but faded as the season went on. We started badly and got better. I still think our last few games should have brought more points though.

Norwich needed to make the signings because they had a poor team last season. I watched a few of their games, and the standard of football was awful - in some matches it seemed like they were playing for set pieces in the hope they could get goals from them. Their away win on the last day of the season at City was a freak. Hughton is an OK manager but IMO he's not the person they need to push on to the next level. The signings they've made have been solid, but they needed to be made. I can see Norwich pushing for top ten next season but not for top 4. My in-laws are all Norwich fans (as is the wife) and none of them truly have faith in Hughton. With all these signings they've made, a poor start will see him gone. It's irrelevant how Norwich are doing though as to how we're doing. We needed to strengthen a few positions and we've started out doing that. I don't for a second think our transfer business is done for the summer, the club would be foolish not to keep looking, and we need to make one or two attacking signings yet. I wait with anticipation for the close of the window on September 2nd. Then I'll properly judge how our summer has gone. If we don't sign anyone else, I'll be as concerned as others. But we do have plenty of time yet to sign players.

I'm quite pleased the wife doesn't use my computer - anyone know how I can get rid of the adverts for Match.com? :-D
