  1. 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?
  2. Jesus. I'm trying to imagine how sh1t Carrow Road's atmosphere must be....
  3. Yep. The world's football community is talking of little else on the twittersphere. And they are all laughing at Saints. Endlessly and remorselessly.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Can you amend the poll to include Rank Xerox/Ajax reversed/whatever you want to call it?
  10. Neither would I be. Bin a classic badge for a slightly crap modern version of it.... Clever....
  11. It amazes me which threads get locked. And which don't.....
  12. What is Beattie accused of exactly? Being named in someone else's twitter feed? What a total c*nt....
  13. 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".
  14. Pompey are heavy favourites to win League 2. Thoughts? http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-2/winner
  15. 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....
  16. Villa's chance of winning the league = 0.067% Saints = 0.05% It's a rounding error....
  17. 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.
  18. Damn. I just piled a ton of £ on Accrington to get promoted next year. Then I'm told this is a hoax. Sigh....
  19. Sounds about right. Palace about 65% to go down, Saints about 12%.
  20. 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.
  21. 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?
  22. 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....
  23. Is this some business deal rather than a football deal? They've bought an Accrington-based restaurant or bar or something!?
  24. Rank Xerox please.
  25. Is this really expected? Hope not... I was hoping for revisit of Rank Xerox or maybe the c1976 kit with variable width stripes.
