Agree with everything you say about Jimmy Gabriel.Although I thought he left prior to Lawrie arriving when he moved to Bournemouth (they were a bit of a retirement home for some of our players in those days) Except he was a Scot rather than a scouser.

Fair point. As the "flops and exceeded expectations "thread proves, you should not judge a players impact and contribution until they've had a chance. (With the exception of Dixon,Speedie and Hughes, where it was obvious to a f^cking idiot that they would not gel with us).

So four penalties out of fifteen league goals.Eleven from open play. The statbunker link in NickG's post would show that as 2.64 games per goal excl penalties. Is he such a prolific scorer as we think,scoring one in nearly three games ?

Thought he had already gone to Bayern Munich.

Some bloody good points raised there. Why don't you email the club ? Although I suspect the 'Pouring Rights' retainers paid will carry far greater weight than the prospect of us getting a decent beer.

Would be interested in finding out how many of Sharp's goals over the last two seasons have been penalties. I have checked the two sites I know but no info on this. Any of you web experts know of any sites to reveal this ?

Dundee Utd striker, good player but as Hopkins pointed out bit of a problem off the field. Arsehole infact. Perhaps we should sign him and Gary Nadine who has been arrested again in the last week on a charge of suspected arson. Some players seem to be 'serial arseholes'. These two make Barnards fisticuffs look like the actions of a choirboy.

Bit unfair on Svennson. But David Lee, christ I had forgotten about him, another Branfoot masterstroke. Two more Branfoot flops are Paul Shireen and Colin Cramb who although inexpensive were said to be signings with great potential . Neither featured in the first team to my knowledge. To these another Branfoot youngster was some Irish hothead who Reading couldn't release quick enough,but was destined to be the great midfield general within a few years (Barry Ferguson ?). This is possibly another category though, hugely hyped youngsters who never made it.Alan Ball signed one of these from his former club, Blackpool after he came to Saints,a kid called Eamonn Collins.Saints were fined for poaching him but he never played a first team match.

£440,000. Any advances ?

Flops: Dixon & Speedie,Delgado (obviously), but one of the biggest disappointments was Alan McLoughlin our first £1m player.That failure really was a nail in Nicoll's coffin as manager. Low expectation: possibly Case who was already past it,as was Mick Mills.Crouch too exceeded expectation. For the first season. In his second season he probably justified why he was so maligned in the game, complete egotistical arsehole.

Oh look, someone has just caught up with the 'must have a black away kit' fad: Surely we can do better ?

Tw-a-t

or West Ham as the greasy reptile Sloberdyce is intending to spend out of all proportion in pursuit of promotion, or financial ruin.

Kronenbourg; a lager for wifebeaters. Great slogan, do you think it will catch on ?

Really ? They find that funny ? With Cotterill as their manager as well ? What a bunch of spacktards.

I'm inclined to agree that Sharp at c£2.5m (possibly with Mills making up part of that) would be a better option.

Perhaps not good for a session!

Good idea, a local brewery producing "a beast of a beer".
