SNSUN

I will drop my hot dog on the floor having just purchased it, during the first game against Plymouth at SMS, as I did last season - and it will become a seasonal tradition of mine. Cortese will start charging fans for using the air inside SMS during games. We'll draw Chelsea in the FA Cup 3rd round, beat them 2-0, after the game Terry speaks up and say "I'd rather be playing for Southampton, at least they're going places". Flybe get annoyed with their sponsorship ending that they start flying their planes just 10 metres above SMS during games.

Wrong again - Caster Semenya.

Anthony Pulis will make at least 5 appearances this year.

If anything, we should start naming the players we DON'T want at the club. Then the club won't sign them!

Just before I go to bed - and that's the best laugh I've had all day! Genius there.

If only we had a young utility player, or an injury prone but reliable player, or a warhorse of a player that could fill in at right back if needed... oh. FWIW Fonte started out as a right back at Palace and Harding filled in admirably in that position too. Perhaps we're aiming for an interchangeable defensive line...

I understand your point, but that's not to say we won't be signing someone that's being touted on here - the HCDAJFU list alone would rule us out of pretty much every transfer going! Pardew could sign someone that has been mentioned on here, but it won't be through ITKers, it'll through sheer guess work that his name were mentioned. Had someone said Richardson on the HCDAJFU list this summer, and not two years ago like I did, I doubt the plug would've been pulled. Stock may very well be the next signing, but given Pardew's signing record since joining, I don't doubt him in the slightest to pull the rabbit from the hat and bring in some we could only dream about...

I take back my earlier comment about "knobbing pretty much anything"...

Now we're coming to the end of the tournament I thought it about time we resurrected this thread. To be honest there are some shocking predictions on here, but I'm really quite proud of how patriotic, or perhaps optimistic, some of you were before the tournament kicked off! Goin by my predictions above, I was spot on with France, although Italy sort of stole their thunder, and spot on with England's exit. Saints will win the league next season - let's see whether I'm better with domestic predictions than World ones.

Wayne Thomas was my initial thought too!

My standards are so low, I'd knob pretty much anything. Which is just as well because my girlfriend's mum is not in the least bit attractive. Although she does have bigger knockers than her daughter, I live in hope...

I take Wiki as gospel. You learn something every day. I will nickname him Kevin, after the last Richardson to play for us.

True dat. Although I don't think he ever played for them in the Premiership as Gary Kelly was in the way.

Wayyyyyyy too much information. "Charlton player sales turn aintforever on". ;-) On a serious point, the Charlton fans don't think they have many assets left - weakening our promotion rivals is a good move, they signed Gary Docherty today though who is good at this level though, so it's not like they'll be out of the picture.

We need no subs, our first XI will play all 46 league games and cup games. (Yep, forgot it was 7 subs, I'm in the middle of playing CM4)

Davis Richardson Fonte Jaidi Harding Lallana Punch Hammond Morgan Dicko Lambert Suds: Bart, Seaborne, Wotton, new signing, Barnard Assuming we, err, don't lose anyone....cough cough...

I naturally assumed they would all be women. Why would we want to watch a bunch of men jumping all over the pitch wearing skimpy shorts and sweating? Oh.

I must say kudos to the Echo. In lieu of my phone not getting SWF, I use the Echo's mobile site to keep up to date with the latest things Saints, and that's how I found out. Granted they probably got it from the OS, but useful nonetheless.

Oh absolutely, over 18's only, the less clothing the better. (Just a red sash and some pom poms may be taking it too far though.)

An unbeaten pre-season would spell a good start to the season IMO. An unbeaten season would be immense. If Arsenal can do it...

...I had to wait approximately 5 hours! I now know that Cortese reads this board, and as a result am requesting cheerleaders at games please Nicola.

His contract was up next summer and they can't afford to let him go on a free next summer.

Anthony Pulis's middle name is Zoe. This may not be a fact.

Shh, if Cortese reads this board he'll take that as gospel!

I would sell my sister to be back in the Premiership - if £3 is worth it in the long run then so be it. I could **** and moan about it all I like, but the "tax" is there and it's not going away, so I'm living with it.
