Would rather have Lambert and Connolly, who are both fitter and have a much better attitude. If he came back, he would probably act like Charlie big potato. We do not need this. Why is there so many on here calling out for players from the past? They never work out. I saw someone call out for Sajis in a thread today! Why can't we just move forward with new players and forget about the past 5 terrible years?

As much as I loved Beattie playing for us, he will never be regarded as a Saints legend. Too much aggro and his part in the sacking of Luggy could have been a catalyst for our demise.

This thread has gone massively off course.

No, not at all. Don't be as dull as him.

Just for your information, I have been posting my musical musings on here for years and enjoy it because it's good to hear music opinions from a local angle, rather than posting these lists to randomers from all over the world. I don't really get any problems with anyone on here posting the music I like to listen to, apart from the odd "pretentious" comment, but nothing as aggrovating as you are being and were last year. I would expect something like this if the forum was integrated but it's NOT. This is a dedicated section to music, film and the arts, and I can post whatever I like in regards to what I listen to. I know many posters like to have their minds opened to music they may never have heard before so perhaps it says more about you being stuck with records from the 1970s than me posting the best tracks from 2009 in a thread devoted to the best tracks from 2009.

What are you trying to prove by posting on this thread? It is an utter waste of your time.

Oh, I see. I've read last years top 5 albums thread and it seems as if this Nineteen Canteen character did the same thing under the name Sundance Beast (the Supertramp -- Breakfast in America reference gave it away). I'll give you that one. I've risen to the bait once again. Once bitten forever smitten and all that.

A truly dog sh!t album.

Who are you?????!!! Thread is now ruined.

And the plastic population? What irony!!

Fair shout, but Veckatimiest is vastly overrated a mon avis.

Seriously excited at the prospect of coming up with this year's lists (as ever). I'll give it until just before Christmas until I'll post mine. There have been some proper good albums and songs this year that it's going to be difficult to come up with these definitives!! Well done on posting the first list, Pancake.

I quite like the Guardian Music one but I don't like Rosie Swash. I think it's because I secretly fancy and envy her.

The guy in the middle looks like the comedian on C*ck...sorry...Mock the Week.

Football is an experience. I don't go to games as much as I would like to but I can't think of many social situations that are as fulfilling as having a few beers with mates and fellow Saints fans. Having a half-time beer is an important aspect of my match-going experience. If I miss a goal, who cares? It isn't going to lessen my enjoyment of supporting my team.

The very band. Only found out by reading today's Guardian guide.

For those who didn't know, The Antlers are performing at Lennons tonight. £4 from 7.30pm.

Quality thread.

Beach House -- Norway.

All this proves is Tory designers are much better using photoshop than Labour.

We had no chance of play-offs/promotion anyway. Glad people are starting to realise.

The good thing about Florence and the Machine is The XX's reworking of You've Got The Love.
