With everyone get excited about us signing Ronaldo, Messi, Fabregas etc, I notice that no Saints player has ever had a full international cap for Brazil, Argentina, France, Italy, Germany (East/West or United), Spain, Russia or Portugal. (whilst playing at our club - caps before or after don't count) We have had Saints players representing (at least) 25 different countries though. Can you name them?

Saints: "2nd best fans in the Premier League"...
SaintBobby replied to trousers's topic in The Saints
Jesus. I'm trying to imagine how sh1t Carrow Road's atmosphere must be.... -
Yep. The world's football community is talking of little else on the twittersphere. And they are all laughing at Saints. Endlessly and remorselessly.

It's possible he agrees. I don't know. But he isn't going to give you a load of cash to prove that he does. Of that, I'm sure.

When & who will be our 1st signing ?
SaintBobby replied to Saints boy in Leeds's topic in The Saints
Best guess: Astori by June 15th. Qualifier#1: Is he in the Italy squad for the Confed Cup? Qualifier#2: The answer to the OP's question has more than a million possible answers, I reckon mine has a 100/1, or tighter, chance of being right though. Which is pretty good! -
Ramirez, his first season, how good has he been?
SaintBobby replied to Barry Sanchez's topic in The Saints
5 goals in 24 appearances is a perfectly good return. Not great, but entirely adequate. I agree though that Puncheon has had a truly excellent season. -

SaintBobby replied to Barry Sanchez's topic in The Saints
Actual performance 4/10 - he's had a few good games and has scored an okay-ish number of goals Potential - 8/10 Overall, disappointed so far. But still hold out hope that he'll come good. -
Jury still out. Has shown real ability in a hnadful of games. His finishign isn't great, but we bought him as one for the future and I think he has bags of potential.

Can you amend the poll to include Rank Xerox/Ajax reversed/whatever you want to call it?
-
Neither would I be. Bin a classic badge for a slightly crap modern version of it.... Clever....
-
It amazes me which threads get locked. And which don't.....
-
What is Beattie accused of exactly? Being named in someone else's twitter feed? What a total c*nt....
-
I'm going to persist. It's not transfer fees. It's a playing staff budget. If, for example, we get rid of 15 of our players - on frees - we probably save ourselves £25m of total liabilities (over 2+ years) That doesn't, however, just get added to some fanboy imaginary "transfer pot".

Pompey are heavy favourites to win League 2. Thoughts? http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-2/winner

We should look for pockets of global support rather than "global branding" Isn't Yoshida skipper for Japan? If so (or indeed, anyway) Tokyo would be a good start....
-
Villa's chance of winning the league = 0.067% Saints = 0.05% It's a rounding error....
-
I can pretty much confirm, with 100% certainty to two decimal points, that the first part of this assertion is total and utter b0ll0cks. If the "budget" was £91m, we have spent a lot of that already on player salaries (and the new contracts that so many have signed are high). As for the second part re: Benali, I have no idea.
-
Damn. I just piled a ton of £ on Accrington to get promoted next year. Then I'm told this is a hoax. Sigh....
-
Sounds about right. Palace about 65% to go down, Saints about 12%.
-
4th place for me. Because it would (probably) indicate a sensational long-term future for the club. If we are strong enough to get 4th in the league next year, we'll win a cup soon enough, I'd think. If we just have a single great CUp run, but end up 14th again, that would count as a great season, but wouldn't really mean we're moving forwards in a big way.
-
This. Surely any budget agreed with the Liebherrs is simply a playing staff budget - combining transfers and wages. Or is the trust happy for us to pay limitless wages to anyone we sign on a free?
-
Could your grandma also see that we were certain to be relegated when we went 1-0 down at Sunderland? Just trying to gauge how exceptional her footballing analysis is....
-
Is this some business deal rather than a football deal? They've bought an Accrington-based restaurant or bar or something!?
-
Rank Xerox please.
-
Is this really expected? Hope not... I was hoping for revisit of Rank Xerox or maybe the c1976 kit with variable width stripes.
