Ditto.

Fair and valid point, but the prospect of Ball dropping into the old Division 2 was considered most unlikely. As for KK, that simply did not register on anyones radar or expectancy,and KK was then - and still is in my view -simply light years away from Keane in terms of his stature within the game across Europe. Do I expect us to sign or even try to sign Robbie Keane ? No of course I don't. The signing of KK was a far more outrageous coup for us than Keane who has never fulfilled the early hype of his career.

Chicken and egg syndrome here though;had we seen more performances worthy of a "talented player" then perhaps the treatment might not have been so critical of him. Much of the time he appeared simply to be going through the motions. This is a striker with a proven track record at Saints however.

Even the Brazillians?

Rasputin.

Interesting point, what happens if Israel qualify ?

Sorry,but you can not mention David Hirst in the same vein as KK.

KK. Even the possibility of Alan Ball at one stage would have seemed too far fetched.

Sorry to say,in over forty years of following Saints,I expect we have all sat next to a knobhead like that at some stage. More embarrassingly following Saints ( or indeed any team outside the big 4) we have probably all had occasion to react like it.Just never been able to remember it the next morning...

Yes but as you say not by some bint behind the screen.Her 'duty', if it can be described as that,is merely to draw it to the attention of a superior and possibly on to a Reporting Officer within the organisation.

and better still, Dixon and Speedie.

Sentimental return to Wolves is more likely.

And Terry Venables. If nothing else at least El Spiv would have kept his mates in the press onside.

Option A) Dump them at night on the edge of an illegal diddycoy campsite.Then write a letter to the Echo about how the standards of that neighbourhood have declined since the gypos arrived. Option B)Launch them from a bridge over the M27 as the Skatesmouth team bus or supporters go underneath.

Until he is jokingly referred to as a "wheeler - dealer " of course.

More chance if FIFA had recruited Cowell,Walsh,Minogue,to the selection panel,supported by the cockney geezer,and one of the arse bandits from Strictly to make the decision.

I remember Brian Clough's comments about world football, and that "we can't have nations of spearthrowers telling us how to run the game". Unfortunately that is now partl of the problem with FIFA.

f'sure

Two dropeed on The Dell.One each at the Milton and Archers Road end.

or "Armstrong,Moran, yessss" 1984 "Stokes,he's onside..1-0" okay its more than three words but who cares.
