Come on MLG, don't feed the troll.
Anyway, back to reality. Who would take a guaranteed 5th now, above Spurs and Liverpool, versus gambling on an outside chance of 4th (or higher) with the risk of finishing lower than 5th?
There's a possibility we go into the last match against City, with them having nothing to play for, and us needing a result to pip United for the 4th spot. If so, I wonder how much of a fight City would put up?
I don't think it's that difficult to cover both possibilities in a contact, stating that the loan ends when Bournemouth's season is over: either at the end of the regular season itself, or after their last playoff match if they are involved.
One sentence should do it.
Yes it would. But even more amusing is seeing them fester in League 2 (or the 4th Division as I prefer to call it), followed by administration over an unpaid £2,999 debt, relegation to the conference, and liquidation.
Throw in Bertrand, Clyne, Big Vic, Morgan and Forster. Does that make the current Saints team the best ever, defensively?
I reckon so, even if we may have had better players in certain positions (Shilton, Svensson, etc.)
Exactly. Why do any Saints fans continue to want England call-ups for any of our players (unless they want them to leave)? Haven't Shaw, Lallana, SRL, Clyne (probably), etc. taught us anything?
I don't think it was his straight-talking, rough Northern manner which bothered Rupert Lowe & Co. It was probably that NP was a Crouch hire, and there was no way the ruddy-cheeked bastard would have anyone associated with Crouch continue at "his" club.
