Remarkable though that despite the apparent pedigree of Ramirez (who I think will come good),Yoshida, and Forren, our more reliable performers over the season were Clyne and Rodriguez (when played in position ).

So simple to achieve isn't it ? But no doubt we'll end up with some other crap creation.

Entirely of their own accord of course. Is this without influence,ordo you not thinkthere is a tiny chance they might be coached by our media dept of the script to follow?

No,you have the estate of Marcus Liebherr,and The Trust, to thank for the money. Their continued interest is critical.

Was hoping he'd live up to the standard set (for signings from what was Yugoslavia)by Ivan Golac.

Fair play to the scousers on there, some pretty insightful and complimentary posts made.

What became of sending "an open letter "..?

I am expecting this to be honest, anything better will be a bonus.

That was said in January. But, of course, attitudes can change. Not just attitudes, but also circumstances. Once Verdu is out of contract, or tells the club he is intent on leaving, he is no longer really their player.

Simply Saints at their best.

Totally agree. Whilst we all wanted to see Saints back at the top level, there was always the worry as to what we might become in the Premiership, a team full of overpaid mercenaries with no connection to the club was the likely outcome. Sure enough that appears the way we are heading.

Good shout, but he probably isn't Spanish or Argentinian enough for us at the moment.

Agree, if you leave aside the skates reference, he is correct. Probably has the support of many Saints fans when saying we are losing sight of our history and tradition.

The wishes of Ron's family are all that matter here to be honest, its entirely up to his daughter and the others to decide where his ashes are taken or remain. I assume Art's comment was intended in jest.

I suspect this has more to do with Reading's feeble marketing department seeking to 'cash in ' on 'nice bloke Nigel' , than anything to do with NA himself to be honest. Agree, wish NA every success. Also expect him to prove NC wrong in the long run.

Appears to get fouled a fair bit, and dives well.

And there is more chance of Gary Glitter signing for us than Lamela .

My thoughts on him also.

The red and white ones are quite good. Not convinced by the other offerings. Probably better than the end product when released.

Outrageous,and a travesty really. Would certainly be worth bringing it to the attention of a higher level of management at SMS, possibly even a letter to NC, or even the owners. They may or may not respond of course, but at least you will have taken it as far as you can. After that, as others have said, the Echo will probably want to publicise it.

Quite a stark contrast to years gone by !

In the past Saints fns have always seen it as an honour when one of our own has gone on to play for England, such as Paine or Chivers (before my time), or Channon,Williams,Wright,MLT,Shearer etc. More recently there has been the issue of "our" players being 'distracted' by the call up, even being lured away by mixing with the big club set. For Lambert at the moment I'm glad he is not wasting time on meaningless friendlies, although hope he scores 30 next season to make it impossible for Woy to ignore him, should England make it to the finals (have my doubts). But at least its good to know our players are eligible for England, as I suspect we'll have an influx of foreign mercenaries that will remove us even further from this.

Halves or quarters would be a great improvement on this season. Feyenoord kit looks a classic design: Red & white in the above would be an improvement over this season. No sorry, this below is dreadful, even Cardiff only managed to mismatch the reds between shirt and shorts, not on the same item: Good mock up by the way, not criticising your ability on that.
