She certainly knows how to pick a cup final to attend.

So did he until he had a call up.

A few observations : Gabriel still taking penalties in December 1971, despite my earlier comment. Probably Tommy Jenkins best game for us ? Good to see Mick Channon and Terry Paine turning Bobby Moore inside out. That ginger haired no7 for West Ham always struck me as a complete and utter c^nt, wonder what became of him. Barry Davies then was far better than the dullards who commentate nowadays.

My son found this on youtube the other week. Saints at Derby 71/2. Some good footage showing Cloughie at his most arrogant, and a reminder as to why he was hated by many during this period. Also, I was amazed by our penalty taker in this, as I only recall Big Ron and Channon taking them from this era. [video=youtube;wkHQa-DjIDA]

Roy Keane...clearly a good judge of a player.

Definitely too L/pool, or Forest for my liking.

A few seasons ago Alan Nixon was labelled many things on the Saints board as someone with an "anti-Saints agenda"- possibly even worst of all a skate - as amongst other things he was forever pushing stories about Strachan definitely going to Leeds. After that his name was met with derision and widely regarded not to be trusted. So, what has changed to make him now a reliable source of info on anything connectedcwith Saints ?

Was Katalinic a full international (Yugoslavia) , even if he didn't play for them whilst with us ?

Could this possibly be a training top ? Hope so as it sounds awful.

Perhaps he was conceived in a phone box as well.

A membership scheme would certainly get my vote.

Agree. But, I wonder how many fans Rangers will bring ? Celtic had a large following (5,000?) for Claus' testimonial. I have a recollection of Rangers coming down for a testimonial in the 1970's and mayhem ensuing between fans. Was that just because it was the 1970's though ? If Rangers are likely to bring hoardes then I'm a bit surprised the Old Bill have agreed to this taking place on the day the torch is doing the rounds as well.

That is something I'm preparing myself for inview of both The9's and Katalinic's hints to date.

Where was he seen with whoever ?

I don't recall any of them being talked of in the same way as Butland to be honest. But as others have said, larger clubs than us will be in for him.

Who is she then ?

If it is anything as decent as you suggest Dog then I will be amazed .

Sorry to say, but from the outset of recent news that we have had a bid accepted, I've doubted that this would end up with JR actually signing for us. Lets remember that all this came into public domain c/o a journalist , Nixon. Where did he get his info from ? Saints play transfer dealings close to their chest, not sure if Burnley have publicly stated anything prior to Nixon's piece, so the most likely source is JR's agent. Probably for the sole purpose of giving a warning to other remotely interested clubs. Hope I'm wrong. Agree with Patred as below.

I would not necessarily share your view of Liverpool being "screwed" due to the appointment of Rodgers, but there is a possibility if he does not get off to a reasonable start the crowd - and the senior players - will make it increasingly difficult for him. Norwich are a well run club, and mightcome up with a sensible and good apppointment.

From the last read of the thread , it seemed to be heading towards either white with red pinstripes, or red with white pinstripes. Either way, far from excited by the prospect.

So does it have stripes ? , one colour more predominant than the other ? Any other clues you can share ?

Did he not use the same tactic in resigning from Colchester to join Norwich three seasons ago ? Something Norwich may also have overlooked. As for NA , I suspect the job he might have left us for has now been taken by Brendan Rodgers.

Several references to the red with white pinstripe in this thread. I remember Bayern Munich wearing something similar in the 1970's : Looks like a red version of Brighton's home kit 2010/11.

"BBC sport understands" still not certain! Hope we can pull this one off mind!
