We should be walking out to the Pink Panther.

At various times, Gaston, Idiakez, Fernandes and Boufal have had the best 'natural ability' in our squad. It would be daft to write him off now but sometimes no amount of coaching can translate technique into performance.
-
Not based on anything I've seen this season. It's all a bit Fabrice Fernandes thus far.
-
I thought he was one of the few players who didn't impress against the Dons, which was when a lot of people began to have doubts about his suitability.
-
It's a wind up, it has to be, surely... Top half with 4 games left.
-
It's going to be Liverpool's y... ah never mind.

Shane Long quickest player in the Premier League...
Lighthouse replied to Ivan Katalinic's 'tache's topic in The Saints
Long's game is all about putting pressure on the opposition. By which I mean completely relieving any sort of pressure on the opposition by continually giving away free kicks for being offside and throw ins whenever he shoots. -
Nothing will top Sunderland and their hat trick of own goals, although in my mind 2 of them will always be for Pellè and Mané.
-
You can't really answer this question, it's just too dependant on the length of contract remaining and who is biddding. Take Andy Carroll as a classic example. Newcastle knew Liverpool had just received £50m from Torres and were desperate to replace him before the end of the window. I thought they were mental turning down a £30m bid, then the Scousers put in a truly hilarious bid of £35m, probably about £60m at today's prices.
-
He was English and 4 years younger, hence the extra cost.
-
He's a very good attacking player but to be asking for £50m plus you've got to have a world superstar on your hands. The fact is Mané went missing for 6 months of last season and whilst his 13 goals this year is a decent return, it is hardly astonishing.
-
£50m buys you an English wonderkid, like Stones or Sterling. £38m for Mané is abought right. Stones - 22 years old - English - 3 years on his contract Mané - 24 years old - Foreign - 2 years left The fees are bout right.

Bigger club Silly money Greed Silly money Surplus, didn't want to be back up. As above Family issues in London Sh*te. Next...
-
This could be the 4th season in a row we've managed to finish above all those ambitious clubs, with their superstar players.
-
It's quite comical really. You genuinely believe that players from Hull, Watford or Stoke wouldn't leave to play for a top 6 club, if they were good enough.
-
We don't, Britain is a centre-right country and has been for a long time. We haven't had a proper left wing PM since Pompey Jim and his winter of discount tents.
-
Why does this remind me of Michael Fialka...
-
I though 'Boaty Mcboatface' had warned us all about the perils of democracy but apparently not.

In 18 months, when they're in administration, he'll deny he was ever there.

Straight out the 'Arsenal defending crosses' textbook.

Sam Gallagher - Joins Blackburn: Official
Lighthouse replied to Sergei Gotsmanov's topic in The Saints
I wouldn't be adverse to selling Long, Austin and J Rod. I don't think the first 2 suit Puel and J Rod just hasn't been the same player. With their combined wages off the books, I'd hope we could get someone in significantly better. -
Sam Gallagher - Joins Blackburn: Official
Lighthouse replied to Sergei Gotsmanov's topic in The Saints
There isn't room for Gabbi, Austin, Long, J Rod and Sam. I'd say at least 2 of them will leave in summer, probably 3 before we get another one in. -
Good end to the season for Saints players who are scared of flying I guess. Just need Hull down and Reading up really. P.S. Congrats Brighton, welcome. Now run along, you aren't our rivals.

I remember seeing a topless dance off during some freezing midweek Championship game against Sheff. W. about 10 years ago. Apparently the protagonists were called Bully and Tango Man and are both local celebrities, of sorts.
