How is Artur Boruc? I maintain he is the third greatest glovesman in the recent history of Southampton soccerball club.

True. There are lots like that on here ruining this forum! When this place was great and all the good posters used to post one of the best things was people said lots in very few words. So good were the good posters most posts in reply to them were simply 'This' '+1' 'Spot on' Because the good posters were so good everyone agreed with them. Those were the days......... *sighs*

I watch a lot of Brazilian football mate, I'll watch up it report on here with my views on him.

This. The mods should lock each thread, opening them only briefly to allow short discussion on news and then lock them again until there is a further update. It's the only way, its impossible to do this myself as this place is overrun with trolls and people with too much to say for themselves.

I've tried hard the last few weeks to keep this as just a news forum which was demanded by some, but it seems some people will not comply with these wishes. I don't know why I bother sometimes.

I agree. There is no news on Damiao so close the thread. I don't want to read page after page of nonsense and opinion, this is a forum for news only and being ruined by the trolls!

Where you hanging around with Germans and Geordies by any chance tonight Sue?

Runners up in L1, runners up in the championship now runner up in the el trofeo memorial quinocho. We lack a winning mentality, Cortese will helpfully be doing his nut about this shambles.

So who has watched our friendlies? Is this lad the real deal? From what I've heard and read it seems like it won't be long until he's challenging Clyne. However it's one thing to do it in a march that means nothing quite another to do it the rigours of the premier league. I've no opinion as never seen him play but he's one that has snuck in under the radar, not had the hype of Shaw, JWP, Stephens and Sinclair. What's the view on him mboarders that have seen him play?

I don't care what TV says, it isn't week 5, its our fifth game of the season. It's not American much as most helmets might want it to be FFS Welcome to modern day soccerball

Can I just add I hate it when people few describe it as 'week 5' since when had it been the premier league week 5? It's Like the recent fad for called a series of a programme a 'season' it's not a f*cking season it's. series. It was never Blackadder season 4, it was Blackadder goes fourth. It's not the Premier league week 5, its our 5th game of the season FFS. Or is this how soccerball is going to be from now on? FFS

Just because you don't know about them doesn't mean they aren't famous pal.

Don't you know about Corteses famous strops?

Because Cortese is like a stroppy girlfriend who doesn't get her own way and is refusing to talk to them now, when asked why he says 'if you don't know I'm not going to tell you' this one we drag on until damiao apologies for whatever he is meant to have done.

Shame, I'm was looking forward to being able to include Mong in a thread without being infracted.

There are a couple of things this mboard can learn from the De Ridder signing Firstly, pace does not equal ability. Whilst some of fans seem to hero worship sprinters it doesn't mean they are good footballers Secondly, De Ridder is concrete evidence that you tube clips are no gauge to base a players ability on

This.

I agree with you pal, I love Rickie too, but if we want to play the high pressing game which everyone is telling us is the tactic to take us to the next level then Lambert will need to be sacrificed as he isn't the player to do this. The problem a lot of our fans seem to have is that they want the 'next level' but seem to think the players we had in L1 can take us there.

Wow some memories there and to add a few Panini sticker albums, Adidas originals, Jossys giants, grange hill, Patrick cagoules, Fila, Standing with your mates on terraces, playing football every night until the sun goes down, BBC computers, puma kings, shoot and match magazine, the beano, Today newspaper, marathons, star bars, pretending top deck was beer.

I remember some div in the Itchen when Surman was injured and sitting there with his bird and his dad shouting 'oi Surman, that's the best game you've had all season' in his broadest farmers voice then looking round laughing presumably to see who else was laughing with him, about five people told the fat t*at to shut his gob. Local lad, good player and nice fella, not really why someone would feel the need to abuse him.

Is your missus French or German?

I think I'd rather spend time with someone who knew what they were on about and told it how it was than sugar coating everything and anything because they on believe what they want to.

No it wasn't it was about £20m, it was reported as 30m euros but the exchange rate was a lot more favourable in 2007 so worked out just over £20m, still about £15m overpriced though.

I tend to watch whatever league one of our new signings played in a lot. Saw loads of French and Scottish football last season for example.

That's a relief, I was thinking for a minute we didn't have anyone on here that had watched every single Brazilain league game last season. You have come up trumps again sir.
