Adkins wanted to keep him.

What happened with the goal?

One nil down ffs

Who is saying that?

Most of our team were unproven in the premier league so that doesn't stack up. seems odd, Sharp was massive in getting us promoted and looked good in preseason.

What would an ex Rugby player know about how a Uruguyan playing in Italys ability to play in England?

I've never understood the whole building up of Lee. He was the man of the moment when he joined because he scored a decent goal and ran around a lot.he then got injured and a number of people claiming he was going to be a great player based on a couple of energetic performances against lower mid table championship sides. I certainly didn't see anything to convince me he was going to be the top class premier league player many on here claimed he was going to be.

The Brazilian Stewart Downing.

Most people were surprised and disapointed to see him be allowed to go. He wouldn't have started for us but would have been a great option to have off the bench when we've needed a goal.

He has been superb today, we've made a mistake letting him go. Would have been ideal recently in tight games where we've needed a goal to come on with 20 minutes to go.

And the best ever

A good signing but hardly our best ever. Compare him to Case, kK, Eklund, Lambert, Shilton, Wright, Flower, Osgood, Niemi, etc. a good signing at the time, but our best ever? Not even in our top 20 IMO.

True middle aged men are fat, scruffy, divorced after their wives left them because they are failures with no ambition or pride in themselves or still single because they are faliures who simply cant hold down a realtionship. They usually use Internet dating websites Due to the fact no one in the real world will spend any time with them. They will try to either dress far too young for their years and physique from primark or dress like a 60 year old man in ill fitting casual gear from Burtons. they are generally stupid and unambitious, resigned to the cards dealt them but secretly desiring but never able to strive for more.

What's Keiran Dyer up to these days?!

Merry Xmas mongboarders. End of the day we are all on the same side, even if most of you are cringeworthy mugs that are disasters of human beings. I love you all in your own way, from those I'd happily meet for a beer (you know who you are) to those that are utter mongs (if you don't know who you are I'm sure I've told you). Just remember if I've taken the p*ss out of you this year, it's always been in the way of an older brother mocking his fat, spotty, embarassing 13 year old brother who he wishes was related to someone else, but can't help but love and ruffle their hair like in a patronising yet loveable way. Merry Xmas and up the saints.

Oh is that what I do?!! Yes, yes, that's it, exactly that, have you been stalking me?!! You've got me bang on with that!

Yes, that's what it is, thank you, you've got me spot on!!! I spent the whole relay on Saturday filled with envy at those confident, hilarious chaps running round the pitch in fancy dress wishing I was like them. I felt so jealous of their charisma I couldn't even bring myself to LOL at them like Apparantly everyone round me was. Instead going home early, back to my bedsit to curse the bad hand I'd be dealt in life and wish I was able to join in the fun. Or maybe myself and those that find attention seeking, dressing up and look at me type behaviour a little sad don't need to prove we've got personalities by public shows of how wacky we are? Let your amateur psychology chew over those scenarios.

On the 'saints best ever signing' thread a few of us mentioned Jimmy Case, for this very reason. An experienced, season pro who was able to help the young players along and was a real leader on the pitch and in the dressing room as well as being ble to protect them on the pitch and learm from him. Exactly what we could do with now. Yet for some this seems to equate to blowing millions on Kieran Dyer.

Yep I agree. People getting excited about a picture someone posts or something someone says, when the person posting it probably doesn't even know the one getting excited exists and if they were ever to meet them, would probably think they were a helmet anyway.

Isnt it amusing how whenever anyone mentions signing players with premier league experience there is always someone who trots out the usua ames of a number of failed or injury prone, past it players, like they are the only players in the whole country with premier league experience.

A fascinating take on events. Thanks Andy.

If you need to ask, you ain't one.
