Especially when Austin and J-Rod are proven to be broken cart horses. -
Pelle Set to Leave For China - Telegraph

Well, at least he wont be scoring against us. Still cannot believe we are letting Italy's CF go. What with us being utterly slow-off-the-mark again with transfers this summer. -
My beer gut has taken years of care and nurturing. All that money spent, when all I had to do was to wait for Under Armour to come along...

The Rather Previous 2017/18 Saints Kit Thread
alpine_saint replied to once_bitterne's topic in The Saints
I wonder why the club keeps ignoring us - the fans - who buy it. Jesus, Adidas only had to reverse Ajax's kit in previous years.. -
I have to scratch my head about why fans efforts are so much better than the clubs/kit suppliers...
-
Makes the players all look like they have a beer gut
-
Silly me.. Well spotted
-
Oh, yuck. The players look impressed too. And no f**king away kit.
-
Where the f**k is it then ? Fed up of the club dragging this out. And if this runs to form, we wont even see the away kit today.

Gone in 1 year if it goes sh*t, gone in 2 years if it goes really well

Getting rid of Pele, eepecially after letting Mane go Boy oh boy, cant wait to see the replacements lined up...

CONFIRMED - Mane joins Liverpool for £34m + £2m addons

I know who I believe. Carragher is a mouthy c**t who spins everything in Liverpools interest. He even thinks 30m is too much -

Who can argue with the results ? I think the way the club behaves and communicates over the summer whilst expecting the fans to renew season tickets is f**king abysmal, however. -

This is where I think we are at. I think overall KL and Les have done a brilliant job at rejuvenating the fortunes of this club, and I will be forever grateful. But I fear their approach is rapidly nearing the end of the line. We've lost 2 key players, and still dont have a Scooby about who our manager will be - again. Lightning doesnt strike twice in the same place, and this shouldnt be happening at a club achieving its highest PL finish and entering the group stage of the Europa League, especially to clubs who finished below us and have no Europe this season. Its clear the rest of the PL see us as some cheeky upstart interlopers and a soft touch at the negotiating table. I think the club needs a new owner and a new approach. Otherwise we might as well give up / go back to seeing football as a drunken afternoon in the stand with yer mates. -
The 24-team format has made the tournament boring sh*te.
-
Agreed. I would have put the 6 3rd places and 6 2nd places into a hat, draw out 10 teams and the sequence drawn out determines who plays who. Probably not possible logistically. But its better than that crap 2nd round of Spain '82, if the competition must be expanded to 24 teams.

That would be outstanding. With the FF, JWP, VVD and Davis contract extensions, its clear the club have got the message. -
Both of these are genuine concerns for me.

Hey, MLG, you have a vast history on this forum of being anal-retentive and pedantic. Touché...
-
You may mock, but it may have escaped your notice that I am not particularly vocal this summer. I think the board have demonstrated a short track record of taking these losses on the chin and moving on to bigger and better things. All I am saying is that if we don't have someone by the end of Euro 2016 when a lot more focus is going to come on available players and managers, I will think things are not moving according to the contingency plans the club is supposed to have,

We march on...

Aw, what a load of b*ll*cks. But then your attacks on me invariably are non-sensical. Yes, I want them to get it right. Yes, I am patient - up to the point where I think our pre-season is somehow being undermined. Since Euro 2016 is running, I dont think that point has been reached -yet. What I dont like is the sudden massive drop in quality of manager being linked to us. It sounds like we've worked through the Black Box list and come up empty-handed, meaning we are going to be settling for less.

If Zenga is even being linked, its a big tittus verticus from me. 6 years in the UAE and sacked by Sampdoria, come on FFS... What happened to links like Puel, Garcia, etc... ? Dont they like the conditions being offered ? Are we after an Uncle Les Mini Me yes-man or something ?

This is starting to have a tits-up feel about it....
