Badger

Been following Saints too long to get excited over possible signings. We almost had Toby signed up to stay at one point...

Haven't we been here before ?

If only we'd had social media for that to be posted at the time... would have gone down well in Skatesville

Would be a good signing, but I can't see it somehow. Believe he's a reliable penalty taker as well !

Just that we only got to sing it about twice.. no idea what it was though.

They're the ones off the top of my head. Many white players over the years haven't had "songs" , did Jack Cork for instance, or Fraser Richardson, or Danny Butterfield ?

Going back, Reuben Agboola for one. Also Jon Viafara. More recently Wanyama, and Redmond.

Omar Colley ?

With the exception of our promotion seasons they've not really been the same since we left The Dell, although I think they were discouraged from the mid 80's.

This word gets on my tits as well ....

I don't mind if it is their traditional nickname, Bournemouth have been the cherries for as long as I can remember.It's a bit more cringeworthy when they try and reinvent themselves, Palace going from Glaziers to Eagles in the 70's, copied by Brighton as Seagulls, then Everton trying to shed the 'Toffees' to caling themselves 'Blue - boys' and 'Blue-noses'. Worse still the soft internet generation names of 'Wet Sham', and 'spuds', a woke way of trying to be insulting without offending anybody.

Not sure it's so far fetched or mad after today's events and with their respective fixtures.

The only team at the bottom who can take anything positive out of today will be Villa.

Suspect Levy is sat at home and in his own mind counting the extra money KWP's performances might bring...

I had been looking forward to this as an end of season fixture hoping we'd be safe, and the prospect of a warm reception and 'thank you' to Billy Sharp. As it is, just hope we can win the race for 11th, and go into the next season having won at home once more. Would also be good to see Ferry or Jancewitz getting on the pitch as well.

Probably walking around Boscombe in his Liverpool shirt today.

MLT had one saved on one occasion, didn't stop him carrying on with them.

Exactly, he wouldn't consider joining us. It is possible that Mourinho in classic Jose style wants to clear the decks to bring his own players in, just for the spite of it, but even so, doubt Levy would sanction Winks leaving in case of a fans backlash.

Up to 9th, Arsenal get a 12 point deduction for a racist comment on their fans tv, and Burnley the same just for being inbred bunch of c^nts...

Good timing !!! Call for 'Arry on a rescue mission..

He's worth every penny of the £35m you or Spurs want to splash out on him, honest ! I think most of the replies you've had have been quite well balanced, despite some of the earlier comments on the thread. For me, he's not as bad as some of his critics have made out (stats prove otherwise re his tackling etc), although he's not as good as he thinks he is with talk of CL football at this stage of his career. Positives are that he covers a lot of ground, is a decent tackler and ballwinner, but negatives are that this is often followed up by a misplaced pass, or losing possession too easily. I think Gueye , from what I saw and read of him, had more about him to be honest. PEH isn't a patch of the Schneiderlin who left us, or Wanyama for that matter although covers more ground than VW used to. (Not judging the Schneiderlin at Everton as he seemed to have lost his way with you reading an Everton forum). He does seem a decent bloke, and interviews very well This probably gives him a bit of protection from more flak from the crowd when the pass goes astray. Although it hasn't descended to the badge kissing antics he does a good line in clenched fists and applauding the crowd, as did Lallana, and we know how that ended. All reports suggest he is hankering after a move to spurs, probably more ££, and London life the attraction. Shame as he might go up a gear under Pep, or Ancelloti, but if he goes to Spurs then better have a sweepstake on when Mourinho publicly blames him for a stray pass and falls out with him. Any suggestions as to any player that might come our way as part of the deal, Jonjoe Kenny mentioned somewhere but pure speculation.

Conratulations, that's best word of the day, and a contender for word of the season.

Was said tongue in cheek chaps, not seriously suggesting anything untoward in the comaprisons, although persoanlly I think Clyne was far ahead in his ability and what he offered when he joined us.

I'm with you Woodsaint, not convinced by a few appearances at the end of the season at all. Had his scuffed clearance v City lead to an equaliser I think the response on here might be different. The Clyne comparisons are perhaps inevitable, although possibly just ' racial profiling' to use a phrase being bandied about at the moment. For me the comparison doesn't fully stack up though, Clyne had played over 100 matches for Palace including some performances that took the eye in the League Cup, (Old Trafford for one) and was to some extent established, KWP -according to Wikipedia - has played c 12 games for Spurs (probably an underestimate, I've read a figure of 20 something elsewhere, but point being at 22 he's pretty raw still). Although of similar build Clyne seemed to have much more strength and wasn't easily brushed off the ball.

Not even April 1st ...
