Thanks dumbass, but i've already read it. Where are the bits about abosultely definitely making the champions league and it can happen because they said man would never climb everest? Where are the bits about expanding SMS because Chelsea only got 12k in 1982 and we sold out against Bolton in 2005? Come on think before you post dumbass, think before you post.

Sadly i'll be back in those conditions in about 5 hours.

FAF!!!! I nearly gave myself another ulcer at your comedy. *Posted from my dark and dingy bedsit*

I for one have been practising 'Build my Gallows' and 'The sash my father wore' nonestop since it was announced.

Afraid not dumbass. Read it again. he says we can push for the Europa league in a few years time. Which is exactly what the Dell sized mentality posters such as myself have been saying all along. No where does he mention Chelseas attendances in 1984, Reading expanding or how many season ticket holders Sunderland had in 1995 as concrete evidence to expand St Marys. neither does he say we are on an unstoppable march to the champions league and it's going to happen because they once said man would never climb everest. Which is word for word what some on here have said, the self titled intellegent posters nonetheless. Come on dumbass, wrong again, you need to raise your game sushine.

Do you and mrs mindy put their CD's on when you have dinner parties?

Right sunshine. I'm currently sitting in the hotel internet area in Kos waiting to be picked up after a week in Kefalos. Kefalos is great, ideal for couple, great food and booze and it's cheap, can eat out with a couple of beers/bottle of wine for about 12 euros eachs. Food is top notch and a good few decent bars around as well. However it's not a lads holiday place. For this got to Kos Town or Kardamina (SP). Did a day trip to Kos Town and its decent enough, bit of history as well and a nice looking town and some good waterfront bars. Kardamina, we went through but didn't stop, it looked more of what you'd expect for a lads holiday type place lots of high rise apartments, bars and clubs etc. Kos itself is a great island, loved it here, temperatures around 28c everyday, easy to get around and cheap.

You are obviously easily pleased Mindy.

I've said above he was good before christmas, but he has also struggled at times and to be blunt at times looked a bit lost, particularly away from home when we have less of the ball and less space to play in. I'm not a Guly hater and do think he has a role to play in the squad. I'm yet to see anyone come up with any compelling evidence or reasoning as too how he is going to be so much better against better players, other than the ridiculous idea that the higher up you go in football the more time on the ball world class defenders allow you.

You say it like its a bad thing.

Dont disagree with any of that. He was great before Christmas, not so good after and he will have a role to play next season. However, anyone who thinks he's going to become a world class player over night because Premier League defences are going to stand off him and let him play is an idiot who knows nothing about football.

Not at all. I just find it amusing everytime there is a postive article about us its hailed a piece of journalistic brilliance or the guy saying it is a top guy and clear evidence we are going to be in the champions league with 5 years. Everytime there is a negative article all journalists are lying scum with an anti Saints agenda or the bloke saying it is a tosser. Apart from the few of us with Dell Sized mentalities no one seems to be able to take most of what is written with a pinch of salt, such as in the case of Holmes, nice guys in saying nice things about former employer shocker. Most of you have missed the point in what he was saying anyway.

If we want him and Man United want him, there is only one place he is going to end up. Deal with it.

Course i can see. It's amusing though, no? In the same way that any postive media article is a great piece of journalism and any remotely negative articles are lies made up by lazy journalist scumbags with an anti Saints agenda.

Welcome back Verbal. A Dell sized midset is anyone that dares to suggest that it's highly unlikely we are going to be the new Barcelona and dominate Europe in our 50k stadium with a team full of academy graduates.

That's the point, Holmes is a nice fella, he's going to say nice things. However, Holmes comments are lauded with "wow, look what he's saying, isn't life at SFC so great" and gospel, whereas a different view from Puncheon was greeted with "the blokes a tosser" Surely they both have the same inside info, so why is one view, ironically the one everyone wants to believe greeted with slaps on the backs and the other, the one not so popular greeted with howls of derision? And you're right. Amidst all the celebration that a nice ex player leaving the club makes nice comments shocker, People have actually lost sight of what he did say. It is nothing like the "Saints are definitely going to the champions league" MLG and the Intellient posters type translation of it. More what those of us stuck with a Dell sized midset have been saying. That we can build and establish ourselves as a top half club and have a go at the Europa league as some point.

What I do find highly amusing is that people are prepared to take Lee Holmes "inside" knowledge a gospel yet dismiss Jason Puncheon as a tosser we should get shot of when he critisised te regime. Surely they'd both have as much inside knowledge as each other. Holmes is a nice chap who has been well looked after despite not playing regularly in his 4 year here. He is a practising Christian so he's going to say nice things!! Why is his inside knowledge yet more evidence of our ambition, drive, champions league match underway. Yet Puncheons critisicms the ramblings of a tosser with an attitude who need to get rid of?

He has skill and he's a totally different player to Sharp. Sharp is a poacher, they are totally different types of players. Sharp won't try to "out fox" Kompany because he isn't that sort of player. I simply find the idea that a player who haa struggled in one league will be better against better opposition ridiculous. Name me other players who have suddenly turned into world beaters upon promotion after failing to deliver consistently in the championship.

It is very simple logic which is why I don't understand why people contiunue to maintain that you get more time on the ball. Surely if all defenders in the championship do is charge around the the likes of guly with their amazig ability will be able to nick it past them, a dummy ot a faint and away they go, no? Read yesterday papers, Eden Hazard, according to some of them, needs to bulk up a bit to be a success in the premier league? Why is this when he'll have defenders standing off him an be able to waltz through them using his skill? The higher you go the better the players. Come on GWC, you do a blog, I'd expect you to at least have half a clue what you're on about.

I find it hilarious people claim te higher up you go the more time and space you get. If that was the case then everyone with a crap first touch would thrive in the premier league, they'd have plenty of time to make up for it as they get more Time on the ball, apparently!!!! Guess what, the beat defenders are the best defenders because they can snap a striker in half AND play, or Do you really think the likes of Vidic and Kompany are great defenders because they stand off and allow players MORE time on the ball?!! Or is it that in top flight players touch, pace and skill level is better so their ability allows them more time? As I said above I'vw defended Guly and have no problem with him but let's not delude ourselves into think he's going to be so much better playing against world class defenders because they'll all stand off him and let him play.

Please explain? What has he done since Christmas? All his good performances and goals, with the exception of the odd one here and there came before christmas. I'm a Guly fan and I've argued with fans at home and away games in defence him. However i dont undrstand the logic that a player who has been struggling at time in the championship is suddenly going to become brilliant when they go up a level.

The difference being of course were both very good in League one and the championship. Morgan is young and learning so always going to improve. Why is Guly, who has done nothing since before christmas, suddenly going to become great by going UP a level?

Stop getting yourself at it Adrian. He asked "When is the last time that Saints signed a player who is in his early 20's, highly regarded and whom some people think has the potential to play for England?" The answer was David Prutton.
