This sounds like an excellent plan sir.

I thought you'd be flattered I am taking an interest in the progress of your life. Tsk, no pleasing some people.

As it is the most over priced and over rated night of the year I'll be staying in with a bottle of wine and watching Jools Holland and other stuff. Ill leave paying to get into pubs and double priced drinks and taxis to all the helmets who want to have the compulsory crazy time.

In all seriousness £5m is a joke figure. Bale cost £10m with add ones (well he would have if we werent in the sh*t) at the same age 6 years ago having only played in Thr championship. £12-£15m is the minimum figure. It's crazy but that seems to be the going rate.

Rodriguez is starting to show why we brought him to the club, been very good his last few games. Will be first choice striker before too long.

Well I'm looking forward to this years installment.........

They finished 3rd last season, so are you saying that their group of players should have produced better results by finishing above Man U and Man City? Or did their coaches and manager get them to finish above teams who Prehaps have better or t least equal squads?

Do they? Please explain how a pompous deluded old man sitting behind his computer in Southampton would know which players Man United, City, Chelsea etc are chasing.

Are you seriously using 5th placed Arsenals supposed inconsistent form as evidence their coaches are WORSE than 18th placed Saints?

No chance,they've not even had a meaningful shot.

He is significantly better than we have.

Who remembers the day we were 3-0 down with 20 mins to o at home to Liverpool at the Dell, pulled It back to 3-3.

Butland is not what we need. We need a confident, experienced goalkeeper.

He also flapped at loads of crosses and was at fault with the second goal, along with Guly.

To be fair If they did survive he'd deserve it. It would be incredible given how poor they look.

If he does go I think we can safely say that talk of being an established premier league side with 50% of the squad being academy players is nothing more than fanciful talk.

Well I watched it on stream and support sounded really good. Just after Stoke got their equaliser all you could hear was a loud OWTSGMI.

Well when you're a fan on the board you can ban that sort of thing Steve! How's the ego? Still massive?

Cork was aggressive today, his battling was the reason Stoke went down to 10 men. We were undone by a world class strike, stop looking for scape goats and reasons.

He flapped so much I thought he was going to roost in the stands.

Do you?!

I don't nessasairly buy this left sided and right sided centre half thing. Its only been an issue since Adkins said he prefers left footed centre halves playing on the left side so that it is easier to play out from the back. Before them wed never discussed it. I'd rather have two good solid centre halves that can defend properly who are right footed than two average ones (like we have) playing on their favoured foot side. Rio Ferdinand and Vidic are both right footed, doesn't seem to have been a problem for them for the last few seasons.

Why are you trolling my posts? It's people like you who are ruining this board. It's no wonder the good posters don't bother anymore!
