I made him a background sugar daddy in the end, he gave me 8 mil to get promoted from the NPC and another 5 mil in January if i wanted to win it, i thought it was pretty realistic.

That said, there is only one still cutting it in the Prem.

So do i really

Why Best and Dyer ?? They moved on, we were in freefall so would I. I would have a word with Best though, not angrily, but defo call him a dopey c*nt with his big toe. Jones for me, the way he went on strike, i can accept players wanting to move on, thats football, but not going on strike.

Wow Thats a pretty big insight, society has really tied you to the floor and treated you to a Bukkake session. Oh, thought of another place....................... Weatherspoons on a weekday morning, never EVER wander into this area unintentionally during a regular Mon-Fri, i didn't think there were Leper colonies anymore.

Toby Carvery ??

I f*cking hate those people, they have been in the shops for atleast 2 years now and i still manage to be behind the mong that believes they have just been beamed into the enterprise. As for weird places, i agree with Eastliegh, makes my skin crawl, i can beat it though, Bitterne..... i mean....jesus christ that place is full of weirds. BTW, i used to work in a warehouse but with my new job i am out a lot all day long, and WTF happens to people in city centers between 12-2 ?? The average age suddenly jumps to about 97 !!

How people can so severely underate Gerrard is beyond me, other than Scholes he is the best and most wasted (england wise) player of a generation. Wilshere may get there, in fact he reminds me very much of a young Gerrard and if he makes it to Gerrards level i hope we get it right and build the team around him. I get what people are saying, we don't have technical players like those on the continent, but the main failing there is the complete lack of any forward thinking from many of the coaches in this country, especially at grass roots level, they just don't like change and certainly don't coach in the same way as they do in Spain, Holland etc. The new Burton facility will be a MAJOR step forward but only if we employ the right coaches and coach in the right way, and at the moment if that includes ignoring the outdated English coaches then so be it. There is a reason there are so many foreign coaches in this country, it is because they understand beautiful and successful football and many English managers methods are far too archaic, it is changing.....slowly. We need to build a team for the World cup and not have too much emphasis on the Euros.

"Southampton’s record for producing successful players was certainly impressive during this era, with Chris Baird, Leon Best, Dexter Blackstock, Mike Williamson, Scott McDonald, Matthew Mills and Nile Ranger among the others to forge good careers." Just sort of makes you wonder why we have stopped using the Lodge if it helped produce these players.

Wouldn't have thought it was the same company doing the work.

I meant the NPC TBF

FM11 ?? You only get 20k in January, unless you mess about in the editor and make it more realistic.
-
Exactly my thoughts, such is the current set up in England we will unfortunately have to put up with limping away from tournaments, playing the long ball and 442, ignore the youth in favour of over paid fading force egos and a media who still hype up our chances.

The entirely speculative 'replacements for Puncheon' thread
Smirking_Saint replied to Colinjb's topic in The Saints
I still wouldn't pay a penny over 500k for him. He was hardly starting here either FFS. -
Forgot about him, yeah top player
-
I like Jagielka, he is a good player, but yeah right back !! I thought that. Lescott is sh*te, Gibbs doesn't play. I don't get why we don't play with more youth, especially in friendlies such as this. Also, when Capello came in he spoke of the fact that if you are not playing for your club then you will not play for england, well that soon went out of the window didn't it !! I would have gone with Foster Richards Jagielka Shawcross Baines Johnson Huddlestone Wilshere Milner Carroll Walcott Look at the German model FFS, also look at the fact that most International teams (top teams) including the French have dumped not only the underperformers but those that will not make the Euros, personally i would use the Euros as a training ground and pretty much frop the bulk of players that won't make the next world cup. IMO that means the end of Lampard, Terry and Rio at the very least, we need to make these young players into the new superstars but they need game time to do that.
-
You thought it would be different ? We have Carroll on his own up front.

Would love ALF. George Boyd ?? Niell Danns ? -
Chaplow - signed a 2 and a half year deal - OFFICIAL
Smirking_Saint replied to SuperSAINT's topic in The Saints
He is a good player, certainly better than Hammond, and at 50k thats a great price. At the very very least he is a much better replacement to Wotton. He has one or two dodgy games but seems to be improving and if he gets back to where he was with us last time will be an inspired signing. Happy if true. -
Anyone know who it actually is ?
-
I didn't call it b*llocks, as far as i remember, no doubt you will now drudge through every post i ever made to prove a point though. I dismissed the fact that he only seems to post anything if it has a sort of anti NC slant, he may well be spot on with his info, and i will listen to that in regards to team selection and remove the general jist of his posts, but i am not paying too much attention to any anti NC ramblings in the same way i would disregard any super uber bigging NC up and treat those posts in a similar fashion. Perhaps if he posted with a bit of objectivity and didn't come across as a complete chip on shoulder bell end then he would recieve a bit more patience from people.

What does 125 really mean ?? F*ck all to me
-
No idea, i also agree with a lot on here. As much as getting so much internal info is good, it can't be doing any good in the dressing room.
-
He obviously has his sources, which you have to analyze and attempt to remove the truth from the agenda
