SNSUN

The new name for the League Cup. So our two cup competitions are the F*ck Up and the C*ck Up. Tee hee.

The Adkins regime would get him fit...

Jagielka's gone from thinking he could've had a lovey summer holiday to potentially being in England's starting XI in the space of a week!

Wrong England thread...

Two 1-0 wins under Roy. 6 more of those and we've win the Euros. :-)

I think it's a good idea to take Butland to the Euros, more so than had we taken Ruddy. It gives him the experience of being at a major competition, especially as he'll be in the England set up for years to come. We did it with Ferdinand, we did it with Walcott. Besides which, how often is it for a nation's third keeper to be selected to play? Very rare. Had we not had a cemented first choice keeper, I reckon perhaps we'd have picked a more experienced third choice keeper, but thankfully we have Hart, so the other two will barely get a look in anyway, bar injuries and suspensions to Hart. In the argument of Davis or Butland, I'd say Butland. Davis or Green would be a closer argument...

Did Alan Blayney get a NI cap whilst here?

Joined Aston Villa. I'm not surprised, on one hand I can't blame him for trying his hand at a "bigger" club, and he did wonders for Norwich, but I feel a bit sad for Norwich fans, similar to what we'd feel if we lost Adkins after what he's achieved. Aston Villa will be a force again though, he's a quality manager with an eye for a signing. Norwich? It depends who they get in, but with Holt revolting, they could struggle...

Me and the missus have set meals that we always have, but not on set days. For example whenever we do the food shop, that day we'll have pasta bolognase bake, and the following day we'll have fajitas. When younger we had Fish and Chip day on the Friday, Roast Day on the Sunday, and Monday pie day on the... Monday. (Using all the extra meat from Sunday.)

I have to feed twelve young'uns, four dogs and three hookers. Money is tight. :-)

I like the Jack Cork one, but for £17? Pass.

With Foster due to leave this summer, if I were a Brum fan, I'd be saying that Butland will be their new number one and would be better off staying with them and getting some decent playing time and experience. From a Saints fans point of view? Yes please - a young goalkeeper in the England team. Would be great at Kelvin's protege.

This. Chaplow won't want to leave now we're back in the Premier League, and could rightly say no, which would put the whole deal in jeopardy. I can't see Cortese and Adkins risking a target like this. I would think it'll end up being a straight £7million transfer, with a sneaky wink if they wish to buy Chaplow afterwards. I hope we keep Chaplow though. Keep him fit and he would be a useful battler in the Premier League.

Barry out, Jagielka in. Good news for England IMO but did anyone have Barry in their team in the first place?

We need to sign Nick Powell from Crewe! 18 years old, Matt Le Tissier-esque player. Scored a cracker in their play-off final but has been doing it all season. He's a goalscoring midfielder which is what we need too. Stuff the big 6 clubs interested in him, let's make Southampton attractive and lure him here. There's no bad side to this transfer.

I'm a Saints fan first and an England fan a distant second, but I do hope we do well. I can see the logic in taking Butland or Ruddy though - gives a young keeper experience at a tournament. We don't need another ageing pro - Hart and Green will cover the first two spots - how often is it that a national team ever needs their third keeper in a tournament? (I acknowledge it CAN happen though...)

There's a pretty good fruit used in our household for sexual gratification. The humble Cumquot. The answer's in the name. My missus can do the ping pong ball trick with one of those bad boys.

Fantastic publicity stunt IMO. Spain telling people not to vote for them because they can't afford to host it means people are more likely to vote for them. That's the way I see it anyway. Will United Kingdom ever win again? I doubt it. I'm surprised we keep funding it.

Match of ye Day through the ages rhymes you know - featuring Harold Hardrada, Spanish Armada, and Carlos Valderrama.

I'm going with typo...

THIS. Not Saints fans, I get fed up with people calling me a johnny come lately when I've been supporting Saints since '89, but READING 'fans' are coming out the walls all around me. Granted I live in Berkshire, went to school near Reading, and am friends with Reading's new owner (I use 'friends' with Anton in the loosest way possible, although we have been conversing since our respective promotions), but so many of my friends that have shown no interest in FOOTBALL, let alone READING, female principally, have appeared around me this season. And then had a poke at my expense over 'their' team beating my team to the title. Annoys the hell out of me, not as much as West Ham fans have this season. I sincerely hope we **** both next season.

Although in '83, we were the Arsenal of the day. So really it'd be like Arsenal signing Messi, which sounds less silly.

She's welcome to half of everything I own. (Half of eff all is eff all.) Oh wait, she can have half of all my Saints stuff. As a Norwich fan, she'd love it. :-)

My best mate had that at his wedding. ANother wedding I went to had Eric Clapton's Change The World. Still debating, but my personal favourite so far is Andy Williams "Let There Be Love". She wants Take That's "Million Love Songs" or some **** by Michael Buble. Old songs are just better IMO. Discussions continue. I'll let you know what we choose after the wedding.
