Is it crazy? What is normal anymore? Bournemouth were doing £8m nd we were doing £12m deals. Maybe we have to double that!!

Watched that with my 9 year old nipper. He piped up, "He's Moroccan!" So I said yes and asked him how he knew. Apparently the Moroccan flag, shown at 15 secs is quite easy to recognise!!

Man Utd declined the invitation. Hope we do as well.

Can't see this helping anyone apart from those who have Cat 1 academies, which are the clubs that need least help. Have to agree that it is a silly idea.

I imagine that the manager will have a say in things. Who knows exactly what goes on. While we hear that RK wants him at EFC, maybe it was him who didn't want to offer a contract. If CP turns around and says he HAS to have him, then I imagine the board should/would listen. Given the cost of players at the moment, it would be to me, best to keep him even if the cash in value is zero.

Funny think with the Cortese red shirt, is that I have to agree with someone else who posted that it looks OK now. Watching some of JRod's goals I think it was, it struck me as being OK. Sure, not really a Saints shirt as we know it, but it looked OK.

FFS it is figurative not literal.

My lad has my old 1976 shirt, his uncles 1980 shirt and he got one that fits him from 2 seasons ago (which still hasn't fallen to pieces yet). I have no intention of getting him another one. My daughter isn't into football and there's about as much chance of her wearing a Saints shirt as there is Messi.

If you have to buy a kit for your kids, don't you want to dress them in something that looks good?

Couldn't care about the other 9!! but how about Wales having an ex-SFC academy player? On another topic, not sure who I dislike (as a player) the most. Ronaldo or Bale (with his stupid hair and who dives the whole time).

I really hope Everton bomb. Never really had any feeling against them, but they have come across as being hugely arrogant for no reason save that their part owner comes in saying how rich he is via this £100m to splash. Well, we'll see how much of this £100m + Stones/Lukaku materialises. This was a classic post from the Mail.... Obviously maths isn't a strong point in Liverpool, as £50 + £65-75 is somewhat short of £140 but that is moot. Stones might well go for £50m as City spunked that on Sterling. Lukaku for £65m-75m - LOL. But Koeman must be happy going to EFC and selling their "supposed" best player(s), something so different to what happens at SFC.

I haven't watched too much of Portugal, but what I saw of Fonte, he seems to be very vocal and keeps the back line pretty on the ball. Is that fair or is it Pepe doing that? In two minds who I would like to win! I want the winner of this game to win the whole thing, but it is Wales (have some Welsh blood somewhere or other and part of UK) vs the Saints players.

Some of Saints fan base has got past the stage of wearing other peoples' work clothes.

So near but so far. Red bra. That is all that was needed to get me to think it a well designed strip. That is all.

One positive....... it is very different from Stoke and Sunderland

Much nicer. The white bra looks confused and too busy. A complete mess. This looks far cleaner

agree

YUCK

Presume also that it would eb 2 years vs 5 years (which now seems the norm).

I thought he did well. More robust a defender than Cedric, but Cedric was quicker and crossed better. Both were preferable than having Yoshi at RB. What ever happens to Martina, in my book, he is welcome back to SMS at any time just for that goal.

Maybe RK came from the old school, where you criticised and put people down in the expectation that they would up their game to prove him wrong. Seems that maybe these days things have changed and you need to say "well done" the whole time. Or is that wrong? If avenues really were blocked then I could understand the discontent, but surely all avenues are never blocked and the old "cream rises to the top" bit is applicable.

I like (parts of) Winchester - maybe he'll live there.

Maybe it is 4000 new ST sales rather than renewals.

He may well not want to go. Time will tell whether Viky will want to live in Shanghai, London or Liverpool. I would go to China if I had little keeping me here, as I would find it fascinating and a wonderful experience (of course while being paid an obscene amount).

Don't you tend to support a team that is televised on a regular basis, as that way you can actually see what is going on from time to time. This guy from Serbia - is he really going to choose to support Hartlepool or Mansfield?
