We were better before he came on; the plan backfired. To me yesterday was his last chance.

Weve been in a bubble, and its now deflating. I just dont get the feeling that post-NC there is the same drive and ambition. I expect a period of gradual but noticeable decline which started with the FA cup exit. I dont get the impression MP is fussed any more; I think it started with Osvaldo leaving.

Exactly. Its good that some people can tell the difference and not indulge in lazy name-calling.

The circumstances under which he left us stuck in the throat, but never wished harm to him and was saddened to hear of his death at so young an age. RIP, Deano

Hopefully, thats how he is looking at it too.

What a daft comment. I like football Some of my clubs players might be playing Its a top-level international, not so far away. I might be going to Austria v Uruguay this week, I dont give a toss about either of those either.

I feel sorry for him. He'll have to watch the 4 Egnland players go off and come back full of stories. Only consolation I could offer him is at least over the summer he'll have a nice rest and a giggle as France screw up almost as badly as England will.

Where did I say I cared about England ? Jesus, the standard of literacy on this site drops by the day...

Serious Question : who would pay a tenner more than this years price to get this kit ?

Remember them well. Top one would be a great kit.

Hopefully a nice short trip down the road for me in June 2015 to watch Lallana, Shaw, Clyne, J-Rod and whoever else comes through take Slovenia apart. I wonder who will still be Saints players by then ?

Its not what I think that matters.

4 places for 35m smackeroonies ? Excluding the wage bill increase ? If I were KL, I would not see that as value-for-money. Isnt it ca. 1m per place ?

We discussed last year; how difficult is it to reverse the colours on Ajax's shirt and provide generic black shorts and white socks ?

Nope, keep trying....

Exactly where the holy mother of f uck did I say that ? I just said I prefer it. Missing your targets, dude, are you still half-asleep? This isnt the CB we all know and love.

I am struggling to see how on current form J-Rod and Rickie will be picked.

What a load of guff; we played in a sash, halves and quarters before the stripes. Stripes are boring, unoriginal, and we dont stand out from the crowd. Loads of European teams play in red and white stripes. I prefer this seasons kit to a return to stripes now.

Yes I can. No I havent. Think about it, instead of diving in for the dig.

Yeah, yeah. 'Course I have. Sorry u cant tell the difference between popular and populist..

We've all been saying it for years... ...so it wont happen. Heaven forbid the club give us something we want. It will be moronic populist sop to stripes, meaning we look like (Stoke / Sunderland / Exeter / Brentford)* *delete as applicable.

Like the Russians arent corrupt.

I personally dont understand the need for the ignore function or the need to ban people (except for racism, homophobia, political extremism, etc). People should grow up and accept that everyone is entitled to an opinion, however strange or extreme it might seem, and stop the hysterical mobbing.

Moral of the story : If a player doesnt want to join, dont sign him. If a player wants to leave, let him. Never thought I'd be quoting from the Rupert Lowe Guide to Running a Football Club...

Mis-spellings, poor grammar, inappropriate punctation, and mis-use of iambic pentameter aside, does anyone really deep-down think he will be here next season ?
