Lighthouse

Was driving oop norf late last night and the radio news bulletins seemed to be running a competition between each other to come up with the most pointless and irrelevant information possible. One station had some nutter call in just to say, "ooooh, they should call the baby Egbert hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Which caused the presenter to also burst into hysterics. Another station informed me that a pizza delivery service in Manhattan was running a 30% discount to anyone who used the promo code, 'Royalbaby1' when ordering online. Fascinating.

I think he would be an improvement in some cases. Certainly quicker than Lambert, with an equally impressive scoring record in the Championship as any of our strikers. Would probably be an improvement on Sharp and Mayuka. We've only really got 2 decent strikers and I wouldn't mind seeing 2 more. Vydra and Damiao would be a brilliant window.

Born on a full moon in a thunderstorm. Brilliant.

Is there an actual number we have to stay below? I thought it could be anything up to 99, after all Judy has #42 Shaw #3, Wanyama #14, Yoshi #15, Lovren #16, Isgrove #17, Mayuka #19 and Chambers #22 would all make sense. I'm guessing whichever striker we do eventually get will take #11.

Doesn't mater if he was on £70k a week here, he will only get what people are willing to offer.

W00T!!!

Depending on the formation we are 1 down in the attacking midfield/striker role. I'm guessing maybe Jrod or Guly will get the full 90.

Wanyama apparently on the bench.

Googled 'funny Ibiza' and this was about the 5th image which came up. Can't be a coincidence.

A transfer window is just the period in which a player can be registered. There is no restriction on selling as far as I am aware.

You can sell players outside the transfer window.

I think we need to find a striker with strength and pace. Lambert has one, JRod has the other but a big powerful monster in the Lukaku mould wouldn't go amiss.

Probably just trying to build up a bit of support before the next general election.

Were we crazy to dismiss Bossingwa last summer? A Chelsea player and a Champions League winner, surely he should have walked into our team. Personally I think there are better targets out there within our reach. I've never seen Quagmire play so I'll leave it to the scouts but people are right to be wary of a 30 year old with injury problems and a patchy scoring record.

If anyone is interested, Lens was subbed off at half time on his Dynamo Kiev debut after failing to make much impact against Volyn Lutsk. 'Quick but didn't do much' seemed to be the general verdict.

It seems Luke goes to the same barber as Danny Fox. Oh dear.

That's probably on par with shows like Lizard Lick Towing, Storage Hunters, Amish Mafia and Rat B*stards on TV at the moments. Rat B*stards is my personal favourite.

The point I was making is that bringing in these foreign signings isn't really compromising our young English talent. Puncheon isn't really young any more which leads me to believe he is probably as good as he is going to get.

Not really, we still have all of the decent young English players from last season and most of them will be pushing for a first team place. The players who look likely to be pushed out of the side are the likes of Guly, De Ridder, Hooiveld, Fox, Fonte and Puncheon. 5 of those aren't English and at 27 Punch isn't exactly up and coming. I think the only young English player who may lose out at the moment is Cork but he will get plenty of game time. Shaw, Clyne, JWP and Rod will continue to play and hopefully improve.

Your point being? That wont be our squad next season. 2 or 3 more decent signings and it will be in with a very good chance. We wont have to be world class to finish above Everton, Swansea or West Brom next season.

Fair enough but there will be a small minority willing to get outraged at anything. It's not just Saints fans, I wouldn't pay much attention TBH.

Where? I've just had a flick through this thread and the general consensus seems to be, 'what a muppet, he could lose his job for that, although I'm not all that bothered.' I don't think anyone is demanding he gets sacked, apart from a couple of posts in over 100.

Or even just Ted.

Calling your customers scum isn't the cleverest idea in the world. Recording it and posting it on YouTube is just a little bit 'special'. The only real concern here is that these chaps might show the same lack of professionalism and intelligence in their actual building work and someone ends up getting hurt. Let's hope their supervisor has half a brain cell.

Only aircraft I've ever seen with bird strikes on the back.
