! What a bunch of sanctimonious claptrap. Calm down, Mary. No one is telling Liebherr he can't have sponsorship because he is Mr Moneybags, they are simply saying that it would be a lovely thing that many fans would appreciate if the club were to make a charity gesture or to celebrate the 125th (don't know why people are so fussed about that though) anniversary. As we are now stinking rich we are in the enviable position of being able to do so. However, all recognise that if Mr Liebherr wants to pursue the best commercial option that is perfectly reasonable. The corrollary of this realisation is that people are suggesting brands they find aesthetically, sentimentally or humourously pleasing.

Waigo is an absolute must for the starting 11. He is a cut above League One.

3/1 on William Hill and the draw is a very tempting 12/5. Think I might stick £10 on both.

I've been winning plenty on us this season. Got £10 up to £85 over the last few matches. Just going to check our odds to win on Saturday actually...

We are more Man City than Man Utd. Far more. Man Utd are massivley in debt to their owners and banks. Man City and Saints have money pumped into them for free by their owners. Not that it's particularly relevant, but there you go. As for shirt sponsorship; the revenue raised whilst in League One would be fairly small. In fact the revenue raised by any team other than the global giants is probably pretty small. I wonder how much Sunderland got for Boyle Sports? I wonder who Burnley's sponsor is? I wonder who Wolves' sponsor is? In fact, I haven't got a clue who most team's sponsor is. If Liebherr wants to do something different (ie no sponsor, his family, his own business or something for the arbitrary anniversary) then it will not have any lasting long-term impact for the club. At the end of the day, the only reason anyone cares is becuase they want their overpriced piece of tat to look a bit better as it hugs their gut.

Maybe we're signing him and another striker.

They have done all season. That actually makes it even funnier.

If they were serious about this they would have picked a song by Anal ****.

Well, it's just some gimp's guess isn't it?

I agree. A wonderful community initiative would be for Saints to regularly inspect the school reports of the local children and reward the better ones. Perhaps they could get a season ticket for life or some such equivalent?

Still posts under a soubriquet! More guarded with the smilies now though.

Good move. What would these people have done before mobile phones?

Great pics, great thread.

Let's face it, cabin crew are basically a hybrid between shop assistants, cinema staff and waiters. It is a job that anyone without some limiting condition could do easily. It should command a salary of about £15-18k with a few extra perks like a nice hotel now and then and a **** up somewhere a bit naff.

Why on earth, seriously, is it referred to as a "Megastore"? It is a shop.

I am reminded of a particular song by all this (think I posted this on the lyrics thread elsewhere once!): I met a boy wearing Van 501's And a dope Beastie tee Nipple rings New tattoos That claimed that he Was OGT Back from '92 From the first EP. And in between sips of Coke He told me that he thought We were sellin' out Layin' down Suckin' up To the man. Well now I've got some Advice for you, little buddy. Before you point your finger You should know that I'm the man If I'm the man, Then your the man And He's the man as well So you can Point that ****in' finger up your ass. All you know about me is what I've sold you, Dumb **** I sold out long before you ever even heard my name. I sold my soul to make a record, Dip **** And then you bought one. I've got some Advice for you, little buddy. Before you point your finger You should know that I'm the man, If I'm the ****in' man Then you're the ****in' man as well So you can point that ****in' finger up your ass. All you know about me is what I've sold you, Dumb **** I sold out long before you ever even heard my name. I sold my soul to make a record Dip **** And then you bought one. All you read and Wear or see and Hear on TV Is a product Waiting for your Fairly dirty Dollar. So shut up and Buy, Buy, Buy, My new record. Buy, Buy, Buy, Send more money. **** you, buddy. **** you, buddy. **** you, buddy. **** you, buddy

I saw that - classic case of giving the keeper "the eyes"! (Or not!)

Yes, I agree. Get those Xmas cards in as well.

He was probably really nervous to be honest. It can manifest itself in different ways. I took a pen at SMS once and I was bricking it even though it wasn't important. Obviously I scored because I'm ace, but I'd give Antonio a break.

Lol.

Mayeb Big Wayne can put the willies up Leeds at the wkend?

Have I gone too far?

Bart, I loveski you too.
