Crab Lungs

They have that so wrong it's painful.

Another nugget or debatable information: Allegedly it was meant to have happened six weeks ago, it's all "agreed" - but there is a problem confirming the money from the middle east. Surprise, surprise... I think we've heard that one before...

Yessiree. A divine choice.

Just recieved the standard rumour that pretty much everyone has read, seen, heard themselves before at some point... Apparently an announcement soon but it's Arab money, led by Fulthorpe, Merrington as DoF and Shearer as manager. Hmmmm.

Ha, I think there is three of us believe that too! (Chez being the other, I think) Anyway, up until then we'd been playing champagne football and looked, quite literally, unstoppable - I'd never seen a Saints team quite like it. We just battered teams (I think what kickedstarted the form was the 4-2 win against Fulham at home, Beattie hattrick)... but after being stitched up at the Riverside, we only once or twice truly reproduced that form properly (Spurs FA Cup, home and Leeds, home in the league)... and even then it kinda felt like the wheels had come off for some reason. Weird how me, you and Chez all detected something seemingly so insiginificant as the start of our "downfall" Going to have a lookie at your post now...

Drawing 2-2 v Boro away at the Riverside when we were 2-0 up back in 02-03. That for me was when performances started eeking away.

That's pretty much how I feel...

Freaky stuff. You might want to see another clip of the testing, too...:

Can I ask the people who witnessed the Preston/Sheff Wed drubbings to compare them against the QPR/Cov drubbings this season? FWIW, I'm actually happier with the personnel atm than what we had last year... what is it, ten games in to some of our players professional careers? There will be mistakes, there will be gross naiveity but I'd rather see our boysh heart and developing skills than a team full of Idiakez' and Jermaine Wrights chugging around, picking up a ton and not giving a f,uc,k. Of course I don't want to sacrfice our glorious Championship status by just fielding youngsters and getting battered every week, so if change was needed then so be it... however, I don't see that much wrong at the moment apart from a few kids on a learning curve and maybe the addition of a real leader, a real bully of a centre half or defensive midfielder to guide them.

No Young and Agbonlahor again. Or even Huddlestone. Please tell me how Jenas and Downing warrant a place, please...

I'm kinda split on it... I can see why he's done it (siege mentality 'n' all etc) but the cliched line about "doing my job to the best of my ability" made me cringe...

two years ago, I'd have never have thought this thread would exist. two years ago, I'd never have imagined people referring to KD as "god" ! Fair play for KD for turning it around. I'm actually thinking that maybe now that he's busier he's more switched on, he's having to concentrate more maybe... which has obviously improved his performances... and we're now seeing his true value.

Why, did you fancy a moan UP?

We've got 8 players out already LOL

I wish that berk would f.u.ck right off. Always negative.

People panicking... Saints still hadn't won a home game... 8 first team players out... ...and we win :-) Superb, superb. Well done boys, well done! "teenage kicks..."

Oh, no bad for a team which has 8 FIRST TEAMERS OUT...!

LOL, PA system starts up with "Teenage Kicks"

This muffin stuff is utter ****. I'm with Robsk, being the founder of w00t, Bolton Wanderers (a), 2004-05 season...

Dave Merrington: "ooooh, I'll tell you something - I quite fancy that Robertson" :S

Money, money, money, money and money. I'm saving, and just can't justify it at the moment.

**** this muffin ****, this is what I'm about.

Wikipedia agrees too... Seems PC had a very interesting life before football! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Colleter Defo agree with Paul Williams suggestion, and Monkou too. Spose Dryden is a good shout, although my memories of him will always be soiled after we reluctantly trotted him out at SJP against Newcastle a few years ago...

Birmingham, £800,000 apparently...

He's fron Eastleigh, I was fortunate enough to play with him at ERI 'B' for a season or so a long, long time ago. And he was left footed, like me, argghhhhh! Anyway, apparently he's still got business interests down here in property (I believe flats in Ocean Village) and from what I've been told, would be keen to play for Saints. Apparently Barnsley rejected bids from Everton, Fulham and Reading for him last season...
