Junior Mullet

Spoke to my mate in the gym, who is Tunisian and knows Jaidi. Says he is a very good solid defender, quick and has an excellent left foot, kept saying he was very solid but sometimes might be a bit hot-tempered. Says he was very close to signing for Stoke but Stoke were unwilling to pay the money for him. Suggested Stoke may still be in the hunt but felt Jaidi's influence might just tempt him here. Said he reminded him of Jones, the lad who just went to Man Utd. Felt it would be a really good signing if true. After our conversation I was left feeling that Stoke are probably favorites still but lets see......

Why would you want to rub two youth team players together?

I agree mate. He's good but not THAT good. The player we must keep is Lallana - our results without him show how much he means to the team. I was sad when Theo and Bale left - both better players than Ox and Bale for me was the most irreplaceable by far (don't forget he was winning us games week in week out in the Championship at 17 playing left back!!!) but won't miss Ox. As for one of the posts above - I reckon Holmes could play right wing. Lallana favours cutting in from the left onto his right foot and Holmes could do likewise. He likes to come inside and get involved too, rather than sit hugging the touchline all game. Modern thought also says left foot on right wing and vice versa works well by giving good angled balls into the box (into the grey area between keeper and outfield players) and opens up the option to come inside and shoot.

Not surprising given that he did well playing the best in the land a few months ago.......... I think it's a real shame that we never got to see the best of Punch but there ya go, some players are just like that

I heard Cortese will not let him go for less than £1m.

What we really don't want is a grumpy player afraid to get stuck in or put himself about because he's afraid of getting injured this year and losing his chance to play in the Prem. It'll be a tough one for Nige to handle but I reckon he's up to the task.

...

I heard that the club have commissioned a statue of Punch and he has missed the Swiss bus to pose for it.

I wouldnt be so sure.....

I don't want Puncheon back, he's difficult to deal with.

You love Ricky Martin.

My pimp hand is way strong

Between 5th and 8th. it will be a good season. Championship isnt such a massive step up from League 1, especially with the quality of our squad. A few good signings should see us be very competitive. I think a very good striker to complement those we already have would be key.

She is allowed to view porn at work. FFS, if she stopped doing that perhaps she wouldnt need to frig herself every couple of hours.

Play-offs is surely well within our grasp. I don't think there is a huge difference between L1 and Champ. We have a much better squad and spirit at the club now compared to our last two seasons in the Champ. We are arguably better equipped than Notts Forest, Leicester, Leeds and Norwich all of whom went up from L1 and did well this year. I hope we do the double over Pompey. I would like to see Bournemouth come up too, just so we can guanratee another six points before a ball has been kicked. I would like us to sign a top quality CM player - preferably Neil Danns and a quality CB who can play alongside Fonte. It will be a bright season for us.

no, it doesnt work - youth team coaches do not command the respect of the seniors. Appointing Wigley proved that and cost us our place in the Prem. I wish we could watch the accademy games at Staplewood like we used to be able to - I loved watching the lads and picking out those with decent futures.

Not newsworthy and not really saints-related imo.

I'd go back in time to one of Lucy Pinder's photo shoots and tweak her nips.

NOw I would pay to watch that. Where do they hold these sporting events you talk of?

On your own then Tom, good luck lad. Do us proud.

If we go up to the Championship we must look to build a squad capable of pushing for promotion in the first season. Personally I think BT would be a risk and one not worth taking given that there are more talented players at their peak (Makail-Smith for example when Peterborough don't get promoted) who would also be less disruptive for dressing room harmony. That said, if the club want him and think HCDAJFU then I would be pleased to have him back.

Still pish myself every time I see that monster

Hope he's still here when we get back to the Prem - he would deserve that more than any other.

FFS, dont let the truth get in the way of a good story!

Do we know how bad the injuries are or are we just guessing? Honest question, I had to leave the radio to look after my little boy.
