Saint Charlie

Hopefully those quotes aren't prep for some pretty poor conduct in the summer, Lovren and Lallana style.

Toby has a small fracture in his shoulder apparently. Wonder if you could play with that? Edit: Missing for a little while. Shame.

Not a huge suprise. He has been one of the ones who has bleated on about CL football more than most so now we have no chance he is looking for an exit plan. As I wrote on the Wanyama Future thread, he has done two years here, played very well. Won't sign a new contract with us so value is highest this summer. Don't want to lose him and Morgan but players have the power. We lost 5 first teamers last summer and if you include Toby it won't be far short of that number again IMO. But we will have a plan I am sure. Hopefully a few others aside from Dutch League players though. Be interesting to know if the players do get a bollocking for this type of stuff. Especially before big matches.

Pitch has improved over the three previous days so a chaseable target in a day. Need some early wickets this morning. 3 down by lunch would do.

Probably good tactics to get his agent to reduce his wage demands. Or Arsenal are stupid. They really should sign him.

Towards the bottom of the league below us (Div 2) according to the TV guy. They didnt really have enough in attack to trouble us.

Really good watch that and loads of good performances. Hesketh very Lallana like, Seager and Gallagher both a threat and superb goal from Sam. Reed looked like he was trying to dominate a bit too much and if he is suspended for Spurs thats pretty silly. The defence looked good as did Gazza. He really needs a loan spell next year in men's football though to judge him.

Fair enough. DPS/UJ is definitely the most pathetic one IMO.

Why did you create a new identity then if its just horse shyt?

I don't know too many Joanne's that get called Johnny but fair enough. It does make a difference though. Someone like Dibden Purlieu was such a knob on here then came back as Unbelievable Jeff thinking a change of name would mean everyone forgot all the crap they posted. Same with Batman. Its a cop out.

Vilhena can't even get in the Feyenoord side ahead of Karim El Ahmadi who was dire at Aston Villa...

Davis isn't going anywhere. Vilhena more of an attacking midfielder so doesn't solve the issue of defensive physicality bar Wanyama.

Big relevance. You need to know who you are debating with.

Everyone talks as if i.) We are are guarenteed to sign Clasie and ii.) He is an absolute star in the making. If he is that good (there are obviously a lot on here that watch a lot of Dutch football) then surely a bigger team may come in for him so until its done then there is nothing set in stone? Also, with many people saying Reed should play more (agree) and people also for some weird reason expecting JWP to transform into the new Scholes over the 3 weeks he will have off in the summer then we may have a slight physicality issue next season. Wanyama aside we would have the following: - Reed and Clasie who whilst aggressive are both tiny. - JWP who is dismal at winning the ball and very lightweight. - Davis who is a tiny bit more physical than JWP but also very small. Is that actually workable? Despite the quality, a midfield comprised of those players would surely get bullied in the PL? Hopefully we still have Wanyama next season, but even if we do he won't play all the games. As well as Clasie do we need someone with a bit more presence?

Seeing as the football is quite dull...this thread is a one off chance to admit to any additional logins that you have without fear of action being taken by the Mods. If we can compile a comprehensive list then everyone knows where they stand and who they are actually debating with. The ones I know of are below, but there must be more. Note: This will remain on the Main Board to get coverage otherwise Mods feel multiple user IDs is something they can sweep under the carpet and move to another (less used) Forum. Glasgow Saint - Aziz Yebda, Hesisenburg, Yuki Unbelievable Jeff - Dibden Purlieu Saint, Jeff Le Taxi Dubai Phil - Saint86, Andy Durman Dig Dig - Sour Mash Batman - Delldays

Who is likely to miss out for Andre Adams on Sunday? Once Bird finally gets fit too I guess someone else will have to make way. Briggs and Wood? Berg?

Hopefully a draw tonight between Norwich and Boro. Any Saints fans going to the Charlton game? I know of a couple.

1-1 draw away to Stoke would be pretty decent, surely?

Ashton getting a good Cortese plug in there.

Byram is obviously a decent prospect, but he often plays in midfield for Leeds.

Yes. You are a perceptive lad.

I remember in January saying Cork would leave and Clyne would be mad to sign a new deal and Turkish went all bedroom general about it.

This. If he won't sign then sell this summer, surely?

Haha, nice to see Davie is still pulling the wool over the eyes of everyone after many years. May not be the most outwardly showoff-ish, but without doubt the most subtle and cleverest WUM on the SWF. Goes under the radar of the Mods, and unlike others is never i.) rude, ii.) arrogant and also has the developed the "character" with the most depth. wEll done Davie!
