Pretty sure Oldham, Nottingham and Sheffield are in the North.

Jennings looks like Elton John, before he started going bald.

Euro 2012 - Poland and Ukraine Maybe a clue there

Another LB WTF? Oh well, I trust Adkin's judgement better than my own. Seems odd though. It was only a year ago Dickson was the future. Now it seems he's out on his arse, along with Fish.

Next time it happens, just sh*t on the sole of one of your shoes. Then leave the shoe by your desk, claim you trod in dog muck and blame the smell on that.

Decent result. I'd love to get Pompey in the next round... oh.

Well, he was pretty young at the time and had only just signed. Wiki says he signed a 4 year contract, but it must have been at least 3. Long enough for us not to be forced into selling certainly.

Anderson was 19 when he signed for Utd. 30m euro I think it was.

The only player I really wish we'd got more for from Lowe was Crouch. Crouch - a dosen PL goals and a couple of England caps - £7m Andy Carroll - A dosen PL goals and a couple of England caps - £35m I know prices have gone up recently and the Torres cash pumped things up a bit, but I reckon we could have got £10-15m if we'd really held out.

Here's a song for us. Na na na na na na na na na na 15 million! million! 15 million!

If I've got this right, Leibherr bought Saints for £15m and now the family effectively has a free NpC club with 25,000 gates and no debt. Hopefully this will persuade the Leibherrs to invest more into Saints, particularly in the youth set up. Sorry to see Chamberlain go, but that's a LOT of a money for a teenager who's only ever played in the 3rd team of English football. If anyone is disappointed, imagine if we spent £15m on a kid from Italian Serie C. You'd be livid. Great deal.

In that case I'd probably go with Forte.

I'd go with Bart Butters - Jaidi - Seaborne - Dickson De Ridder - Chaplow - Morgan - Holmes Barnard - Guly

Or it may have been a Sopwith Camel.

Probably wouldn't happen on the anals either TBF.

The tanker eventually finished 3rd.

You have to be a fecking mong to bet on 3-0. It's always 3-1.

I'll echo what most people have said. He looked pretty good, but with a few scary 'moments'. I think he has the potential to be better than Jaidi and Seaborne this season. He can iron out his faults with experience, but Jaidi will always be slow and Seaborne does not enspire me.

Well just back from the game. Awesome. Fimally people can STFU about our "first game of the season" jynx. Not the "Sky jynx" though, we could win our next 10 games on Sky and people would still pop up with that one when we lose at Old Trafford. Anyway, I'm being negative on a VERY possitive day. We made Leeds look very ordinary today through hard work and quality. Starting from the back, Kelvin made a quality save second half and was obviously very p*ssed off at that penalty. The defence all looked very good. Richardson gets a lot of flak but put in a decent shift and kept their left side very quiet, despite not having the best cover from Guly. Fonte and Harding were their usual top notch, reliable selves and I was quite happy by Martin's performance. Yes he made a couple of mistakes, but they will get ironed out with experience. There's no lack of quality, but I do think we could do with some more cover at CB. Midfield was generally excellent. Only thing I'd say is that Guly doesn't really work on the wing for me. De Ridder came on and despite some poor touches to start, looked pretty dangerous. Cork was everywhere, Hammonds goal was excellent and Lallana is on a different planet. Such a shame Lallana's second didn't go in right after his first. I'd have gone mental. Up front I don't think we quite clicked, but Lambert's set up play for Lallana's goal was fantastic. Decent finish from Connolly too, but he didn't really interact with Lambert fantastically. Thought Leeds were very poor, particularly going forward. Snodgrass was quiet and deserved to be dragged off. Gradel was probably their best threat, but was getting pretty frustrated and his attempt to win a penalty didn't go down well. Bit of a face palm when a Leeds sub (number 20) went to take a corner and some Saints fans started booing 'the wrong little black fellar'. On a final note. It was a penalty. Thought we'd got away with it for a second, but that lino was on the ball. Unlucky, sh*t happens, but this is Saints we only do 3-1.

Losing ground on the top teams already FFS!

It doesn't ring true, it's just someone posting crap on a crap website. It's just some idiot going "oh look Gorkss hasn't signed, therefore the deal is off". It's up to you whether you believed the rumour in the first place, but don't change your mind based on that bull plop.

Levadia Tallinn Should be a pretty easy gig, but I'll take it.

He is a year older and playing at a higher level. He will find things a lot tougher in NpC.

I think we needed to be a little bit more ruthless when it came to letting players go in summer. Jaidi and Seaborne are two I would have tried to offload. Jaidi I think is just too old for a campaign in NpC. Seaborne I just don't think is good enough. I'd love him to prove me wrong, but he was found badly lacking against the better strikers in League 1 last year (had a 'mare against CMS at London Road). It doesn't get any easier up here. I'd start with Fonte and Martin personally. The latter seems to be a lot like Bart for some reason. Gets very limited pitch time, but is generally impressive when he does play. Yet, for some reason, people have decided he can't cut it.

I did tell him to give it 5 minutes.
