Crazy Diamond

Speaking of Asian players, a South Korean has just scored the winner for Sunderland against City!

Ha. Fantastic. Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi, 5ft 11.

So anyway Have we discussed the possibility it could take him a good long while to settle? Didn't the Skates have a Japanese goalkeeper who never got his head right and ended up being shipped straight back out? Sadly since the J League isn't part of FM12 we can't check his 'adaptability' stat...!

Waheyyy. Maybe he'll produce a white rose from somewhere and run around with it between his teeth.

And the six teams that you had down as finishing below us? To say 18th exactly is putting some thought into it, so I imagine you had it all worked out.

Don't be so sure we'll see that here - from memory, Sanfrecce have an arrow on their logo and play in purple, he might well do something differently over here.

To be honest I wouldn't touch the catering at St. Mary's with a barge pole after the 'burger' I had at the Cheltenham game in the Cup. If he wants to bring some Asian delicacies with him, I might reconsider. Quite. Bizarre one that!

Regarding the whole finishing 17th or 18th thing, I forget which, who did you have down as finishing below us? For the record, in the highly unlikely event that we were to sell Lambert, yes, you'd question what was going on.

Yeah that translation takes some imagination, but they reckon it's been in the offing for a while. As I say, when I first saw the guy, it must be a month maybe two months ago, so it makes sense.

Tadanari, whoa-oh-ah-oh Tadanari, whoa-oh-ah-oh He bloody loves sushi He ****ing hates Pompey Stereotyping for those that want it.

...What?

Tenacious D? No. Just no.

I had it on but didn't pay much attention to be honest. I'll watch if it's on and do enjoy some bits of it still but like others have said, not as good as it used to be.

Yes, Eddie Howe said they'd all but signed him until we came in and offered him ridiculous wages.

Reading set the benchmark back in... 2005 was it? They were incredible that season. Sunderland also did good the year before if I remember rightly. Coventry 1 - 0 Brighton, LOLZ.

You're having a f*cking laugh aren't you?

It's quite unlikely and probably just a case of a Hannover scout taking in a Saints game whilst in the UK. Happens all the time.

A German freelancer told me "Lots of scouts (even from abroad) have taken a look on Jack Cork". So by the sounds of it, mainly UK based but European sides too.

I've also had it confirmed that Jack Cork has attracted many clubs - after signing for Saints.

As first spotted by Saint Lambden of this forum, there was a rumour on a German fans website that Rickie had been linked with Hannover 96. I was asked by a website that focuses on English players plying their trade abroad to do a writeup. The bloke who runs the site has had it confirmed that Hannover have indeed had him 'observed'. Well well. Here's my article on it anyway http://lesrosbifs.net/2011/12/rumour-rickie-lambert-southampton-to-the-bundesliga/

Hand (of Omega), face.

It's up to you to judge whether or not it's as good as the main one on this thread, but fresh off the presses, here's my article about Lambert and a ridiculous rumour that linked him with Hannover 96. http://lesrosbifs.net/2011/12/rumour-rickie-lambert-southampton-to-the-bundesliga/

Jose Fonte has a classic 80s song, here's another. To the tune of Kim Wilde's 'Kids in America' We've got Tad-a-nari Lee, whoa oh! We've got Tad-a-nari Lee, whoa oh! He's on the ball he scores all the goals for the Saints!

I'm working on a song, gimme a bit...
