Umm, isn't it obvious? My Father and my Brother support Southampton (a pretty big team) and I'm a Torquay fan (a small team) - drawing them at St.Marys will be a great match to watch for the family and I'm really looking forward to it - a great draw. Do you not have friends and family who support other teams?

As a Torquay fan (Saints are my family's team but I take a keen interest) that is a dream draw!!!

Obviously not, what a silly question. And also I think selling Kenwyne Jones had nothing to do with getting relegated in the end. That was the return of Rupert and his Dutch friends. Let me put one to you. If you have a player in your team who refuses to play for you and you are offered £6m plus Stern John, who is going to score 20 goals and keep you up that season, would you accept? I think I know the answer.

And he had also refused to play for us if he didn't leave...

We won the match 2-1 btw.

Ah who cares, the bloke likes a bet and it was harmless that he bet on a throw-in in the first minute. If I had the chance to influence the outcome of a bet I made, well bloody hell I'd do it and then some! Of course, admitting it in a book is another issue but the acutal bet - yeh I can foresee I thread of 400 posts about sweet fa really.

---------------Davis Murty-----Jaidi-----Trottman----Harding ----------James----Hammond Waigo---------Lallana------------Mills --------------Lambert If Mellis or Morgan start playing well than put him in for James. If we get another striker than go 4-4-2. I just can't bring myself to put either Saga or Paterson in my best XI.

Nah that's not true. The emergency loan window doesn't apply to The Premier League.

Too early!

In June's 4-4-2 magazine Kluivert says he is open to offers and says English clubs should give him a call. He has also just finished his coaching badges with AZ Alkmaar. It must be him then!

Agyemang would be a good signing. He always used to score against us if I remember correctly...

AP commented how good our fans are as being one of the reasons he joined. I wonder if he has changed his mind yet.

Stevo you must be making that up or your "source" is very, very wrong. Bournemouth haven't been able to bring in anyone for months.

No, that was my first post. I told you to shut up. Your new thread is even more embarrasing.

Oh shut up. Please just be a little bit more patient. Thanks.

fulham just signed 2 centre mids so i dont think he will go 2 fulham and they would want us 2 pay his full wages any way plus 2 divisions is a big drop 4 a player like baird!

do you actually think baird will come back us. dont think so!!

"Brighton have signed Wolves winger Elliott Bennett on a three-year deal. The 20-year-old, who plays on the right, arrives at Withdean for an undisclosed fee and is expected to go straight into the starting XI." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/brighton/8211795.stm Perhaps this one has legs...

His name is Jake Thomson, not Jake Thompson. If you're going to talk about him, get his bloody name right. FFS

Stevo's an ITK wannabee and now the forum has come across someone willing to share proper ITK information, Stevo can't hack it. Poor bloke.

Lallana will need to be coached how to play the wide role this season because we are not playing the 4-2-3-1 that he grew up with in the academy. He won't play in the role just in behind the striker so he will need to learn how to play on the wing. Pardew had it right playing him on the left because a technically gifted right footed player on the left has a major licence to roam in field or surprise the full back by going down the outside. I think we may have to see a few more ineffective performances from Lallana before we see the best of him.

haha, nice one tac-tics, that was quite entertaining

Once again, I'll remind some posters that we are in League 1.

I hate this forum. Pardew has been in the job for 2 weeks and it's quite obvious he isn't just going to wheel and deal. The transfer window, believe it or not, doesn't shut for another month and the loan market doesn't shut until November! What's more, the manager has publically recognised that we are rubbish and that he will sign multiple players but strangely that just isn't enough for our fans. We need a centre half, a centre midfielder, a right winger and two strikers. Pardew will sign them but he's not just going to sign anyone. He will sign quality players (Harding being an example) but they might not be before the Millwall game. Get ready for some wrist slitting. Can't believe I'm having to write this a week before the season.

duh
