Hmm, i don't know, i would much prefer a flying attacking left back, Spurr is solid but will not add as much going forward, harding was Immense last year as well but big things are expected from Dickson this year. I concede though i have not seen his quality yet and so i will swap it for a straight fight between Harding and Spurr, Harding is solid however, and good going forward.

Huddersfield should do well but for some reaason i have a feeling they will stutter a little bit, Peterborough will do well unless they lose Boyd and/or Mclean. Swindon really need to replace their top goalscorer from last year and hope Austin doesn't suffer from second season syndrome.

Davis/Grant Richardson Fonte Beevers/Jaidi Dickson/harding Tudgay Schniederlin Hammond/Miller Lallana Lambert Morrison That would be my team made up of the two teams, i see those in bold as pretty much of the same level as their competition however have included them over the others purely on age. But that would be how i would line them up, i think Morrison would be a decent player at this level if he plays well, Tudgay is quality TBF but he did well to oust a high in assists puncheon.

I would argue that a team mad up of the two sides would have the majority of Saints players in it, but then i am a saints fan !!

True, but you have a few weakish links. Our Spine is better (Fonte, Schniederlin, Lambert) plus we have 3 fantastic full backs for this level, a keeper that was wanted by a premiership team and a 20 goal midfielder in Lallana. Our weakest player is probably Hammond, who CDAJFY if he was in your squad. Morrisson is a good free signing if he finds form in this league, Tudgay is a player that i admire, and probably the only player i would LOVE us to take off of your hands. Beevers and Miller would probably just improve the saints team but to be honest i woulnd't be creaming in my pants, they are pretty much on the same level as Jaidi and Hammond. I am also confident there are more signings for us to come.

I think that an aweful lot has to be put upon the parents and the authorities around him that did fail him, that is unquestionable. Unfortunately i also think that some people are just destined to be evil, JV was one of those people. I cannot understand the people that advocate that the kids had no realisation of right and wrong as it was not instilled in them from the parents, that is just complete bullsh*t. Every kid understands right and wrong no matter whether it is 'taught' or not, that is why you know a kid is up to something as before they commit something that is considered wrong they will always look around to see if any adults are watching and if they catch an adult watching will look at them for a few seconds as if to see what they are going to do or say. What IS taught to most kids is the ability to act on the instinct of commiting to something that is wrong and to avoid doing it. Unfortunately you get two camps of these kind of kids, those that are able to get away with what they want, and those that will do it anyways, JV was always in the latter group and with all the money being needed to prop up the economy at the moment anyone who is convicted beyond all reasonable doubt of peadophilia, murder or rape and especially murder that was torturous should be put to death and forgotten about.

don't get me wrong we deserved what we got !!

Ours was not due to tax, infact i believe our tax was fully up to date. We went into admin because the bank withdrew our overdraft facility and the speculation is this was because they could only see our income lessening due to Lowes influence. Not being a WUM or anything but i really don't think you guys should be being so blase about all of this, admin is not a good place to be and from what i remember recently any club that has had a WUP issued against them has hit sh*t creek pretty quickly.

Only if he has a serious bout of tonsilitis

I'd love it if we signed Tudgay, and a Miller and Beevers.
-
Yeah i heard about that, seems that Hampshire is a bit of a lowlife haven, what with Glitter up the road as well. In his BMW M9

Depends what for.... And kidnapping, torturing and murdering a defenceless little boy is not something i would give someone a second chance over.

They should have just executed him the first time

Lol at that particular website, they keep moving to different longer domain names every so often, lol at the fact that everytime they shut one down one gets brought back up. Anyways Watched 2 films the past couple of days Clash of the titans This was sh*te, they could have done so much with what is the immense potential of greek mythology and just seemed to rush it all from start to finish, uninspiring fight scenes, not the best story of all time. Should have done so much better. 5/10 Date Night I was actually pleasantly surprised watching this, had a few laughs, a decentish storyline, Steve Carrell is actually turning into one of my favourite comedy actors. Worth a watch IMO 7/10

Perhaps, i never really commented on Kenwyne as i thought he looked a good player for us and still think he is a very good player, Derby knew what they were doing when they crippled him and Bale in that Semi final. As for Antonio, he has an eye for goal, he has pace and strength, but he lacks a decent first touch and his crossing never really progressed much through the season. I am not saying the boy is not worth a punt for the right price, he probably will improve given the correct coaching, but i doubt whether he will ever be a real star in the championship and i would doubt he would make it into the prem. I may be wrong, and as i said if we sign him i would hope i am proven wrong. Football is obviously about opinions, and this is one of those we don't share, but thats the beauty of it. From my point of view however, Puncheon is much more valuable to us and is the better player IMO, surely his assists showed that class ?
-
Not really saying that he faked the leg break, i mean is it really incredibly bad luck ?? Or are the muscle tweaks etc being exaggerated a little bit ?? I wouldn't put it past them TBF
-
Well there is a shock. So now they can cry to the FL to attempt to get more players through the back door due to special dispensation. The whole place f*cking stinks of back handers, lies, cheats and of course rotting fish. What a horrible horrible club they are
-
Our first 11 is better than anyones in the league. The three that have come down are not as good as 2 of the 3 that went up. Swindon and Charlton have been weakened. In that respect i think we will be around the top 3 all season and SHOULD finish 1st, 2nd if Pards can get the best out of what are very very capable players at this level.
-
Jury is out, but Antonio has not the technical ability that even those two had, Walcott was streets ahead of Dyer and even further from Antonio, but the Dyer link is a half decent one. Dyer had the wrong attitude and was too lightweight, Antonio has the right attitude but lacks the technical ability, in my mind i know which one is easier to change.
-
Huddersfield i doubt will be up there, playoffs perhaps, i really don't think you lot will have anywhere near the season you believe, even after the disasterous season you had last year, so not only does Irvine have to remove the bad taste from the relegation but also get the new guys to try and gel in. It won't be easy, but i think you will get promoted one way or another, its an easier league than last year, no one that came down is of the same quality of Leeds and Norwich, plus Swindon and Charlton have been weakened so all in all its an easier league this year.

We will break the 100 barrier.
