Never any guarantees of course, but potential on a similar level to Bale has been mentioned. Arsenal, Man Utd, and Bayern Munich were after him back before he signed his pre-contract at the start of this season.

Only just got back, not the most enjoyable game I've seen this season, but definitely the most enjoyable final whistle

Hah! Was about to post that exact same link

http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?36237-Leeds-v-Saints-MotM#.VrFLzlrfWrU It's just about beating the previous record at the moment.

Kelvin (just!) for me. Felt like he could have played by himself that day and it would have ended 0-0!

And it was their keeper that equalised

Fraser Forster take a bow!

Well, that's one way to make a decent first impression!

So, add Austin to the banner?

Really like this formation, with Bertrand switching between CB and LB, and Targett switching between LW and LWB, we can switch between 442 and 352 really easily as needed, must be a nightmare to play against. Only slight downside is that it shackles Bertrand's attacking threat, but Targett's been stepping up on that front with this formation. With this, Austin signing, not to mention the cricket, it's been a good day!

Taking your premise that we ignore that matchday income is relatively insignificant these days, I think you've got your cause and effect turned around here. If there were more signings, AND this led to a better product on display (better football, Europa or maybe even Champions League), there would be more demand for tickets. It would be that increased demand that would lead to increased ticket prices. Increasing ticket prices with the the promise of better signings would probably have the opposite effect, reducing demand as people waited for the better signings to actually be bought and justify the increased prices.

Right, now to go on, score again, and avoid the replay.

Defensively he looked pretty decent, only thing I noticed is that he was tending to get drawn towards the middle a bit too much, leaving space out wide. Others covered or he recovered himself each time, so was possibly tactical by Koeman to contest the middle more. In any case, Arsenal weren't able to take advantage of it.

The two goals we had disallowed were 'discussable' as well

Long - Found beast mode today. Martina - What a goal. WHAT. A. GOAL! Koeman - Tactically outclassed Wenger today.

Guh... Wish we'd played from the start like we played in the second half

Now it's a game!
