Watch The Big Match reruns. Footballers playing on damp pitches then weren't like Bambi on ice because they had proper boots with aluminium studs. For dry pitches they would put a pair of moulded Adidas Beckenbaur's on and still they managed not to all over.
Mixed sole plates my arse.
Personally, we should all be eternally grateful to Leon for stumping up the dough to keep the club afloat in its darkest hour. I will applaud him to demonstrate my gratitude to a true Saint.
Yo.
Don't forget that purchases will be offset by sales.
£2m for Sharp for a start. A lot of our squad will be released as well. Tommy Nofingers has already gone, but we'll have to sign a like for like replacement. Luckily he's been lined up.
(not the one in black).
So something I was told yesterday, from someone who's mates with someone, who's best mates with a Saints player, turned out to be actually true! Happy days.
Just telling you what I've heard, from a member of the first team squad, through a good friend of his:
Apparently, a mountain has been made of a molehill, Cortese and Maurice aren't going anywhere.
Passing it on, make up your own minds.
I think Cortese knows that, which is why he has added MP's length to his own. Whoever, collectively, has the biggest one will win.
Personally, I reckon today's developments have put the nail in the coffins of both manager and chairman.
Shame
Didn't Scholes quit England because he was fed up with it being another vehicle for the 'brand Beckham'?
Pretty good judge of character as well as an amazingly gifted footballer.
