Saint-Armstrong

Saints tweeted that it is a Saints XI heading over there. So fringe players/reserves and development squad.

Yes he was found to be innocent.

One of the stalkers on Twitter was saying something the other day about De Ridder and Buttner being friends on Facebook as of 2 or 3 days ago. I forget exactly but along those lines. Seems on.

Bucket collection? Get someone to contact his partner through the charity and the club and collect and then take the buckets to reception before KO? Or see if the club could do collections in the concourse?

We got ourself a plastic ;-)

Sibley: "Apologies for the lack of tweeting lately, to say it's been a busy week would be an understatement! No signs of it quietening down either..."

Anyone remember this old classic from the Pompey fans? Well I thought it needed updating:

If only we had a thread for this...

"Lundekvam told to name names" - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4424470/Claus-Lundekvam-has-been-told-to-name-names-in-the-Premier-League-betting-scandal.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter "Gambling experts' fears at betting culture" - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4424443/Gambling-experts-fear-Premier-League-stars-are-passing-information-on-to-Far-Eastern-bookies.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

"Benali denies Lundekvam's claims" - BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18801231

"FIFA monitoring issue & involved its chief investigator in England." Now being tweeted and posted about by the top journalists it seems.

Claus is a dodgy one huh? Do we reckon all this still goes on? Wonder how much he made

Do we know for sure it is Ajax? (last post)

Vitesse's whole argument is that he has supposedly signed this away from the club-player contract. It is not listed in his Vitesse contract so they won't budge. For the same reason, neither will Saints.

It'll be about us having a rejected bid, or rejecting a bid. My guess.

Was it that hard to understand? On the guy's "Let Me Google That For You", it typed in your question - and the only result of any use was this thread, which showed as the #1 search result. As such, typing your question into Google having not made this thread would not have given you an answer. Irony.

I read in an article he asked NUFC for a pay rise because he is on £15k p/w. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

...Markus Liebherr completed his takeover of Southampton Football Club. I don't really know what else to say. I'll do my best. I look at us now and it's all changed. We look stable, progressive and forward-thinking, whilst playing at the top level. Hopefully this is just the start. But the 5 year plan Markus and Nicola promised us? They did it, for that we will all be eternally grateful for. It's gone quite fast when I look back on it now, but within 3 years we've had two promotions, a trophy win at Wembley, and smashed club records left, right and centre. Not to forget a return to the Premier League after 7 years of absence, and we"re back with sensible management, whilst also making a club record signing in the process. Now is a great time to be a fan of SFC, a reason to be proud and hold your head high has been well and truly restored. Thanks Markus. Gone but never forgotten. A true Southampton legend. Up The Saints and roll on 2012-13 in the Premier League! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8136389.stm

Interesting comment on there from 'AjaxAmsterdam020': "He's actually one of the best leftbacks in the Eredivisie. But we have to wait if he can handle the level in England. He only plays one year on the highest level in the Dutch League. Its a triggy choice."

Fergie helping one of his old gang out again then.

General gist is that he is a workhorse, a consistent performer. Doesn't turn in a 9/10 one week and a 5/10 the next. Just consistently 7 & 8 /10. Does a lot of work supposedly, not glamorous but can play some good stuff.

In which case, still £3.2m. A fair offer.

A) They showed it at the back end of last season. B) There is a Championship game on Saturday as the early KO.
