Love and light Fry.

Not sure if this is an appropriate place to post this, but can't be bothered to start a new thread.. Mother and baby stabbed in London tonight, both in a serious condition. Utterly disgusting. Add that to the 4 other stabbings in the last week, and the guy shotgunned in the face. Just what the hell has happened to society ffs. No wonder people are leaving London.

Given the amount of time spent in the air, or in customs, baggage/package drops, immigration etc, it is interesting that you managed to post so much on here....

Interesting, I never said he was... And no thank you, I have far more interesting bets to place. MODS should seriously lock this thread however; it has very little to do with opening day fixtures.

Surely by your criteria you are also picking them based on their ability at the time. So bale will not get in any side picked. Especially as he was a left back, not a right winger at saints...

Well, for starters, probably half the football fans in Portsmouth are Saints fans, and a lot of the others support Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, United etc...

We didn't wear that shirt in the final though, and our form was dire / appalling for the remainder of that season. Also a terrible terrible kit - "bra raised"

Glasgow, in all serious mate... give it a rest please. Its mildly amusing in doses, but you are overplaying it big time.

Not really classics Best one is our championship kit. Worst one is the red and white pinstripe monstrosity.

Check out the post match thread when we went out of the cup to Sunderland under Poch. Koeman's season was better. In position, points per game, and team quality. Can be debated however you want, but thems the facts. Poch is a great manager, better than Koeman. But his team was worse at saints (and according to the club's PR, full of traitorous mercenaries). I also don't remember any 6-1 or 8-0 demolitions under Poch. There is rose tinted glasses (which is fair enough), but then there is just channelling bizarre hatred on to Koeman and ignoring his achievements. To each his own however.

Poch wants to go, that much is blatant.

What variety though? http://www.ngkenya.com/fauna/columbidae.html Please elaborate...

Has anyone in this thread read "Adults In The Room"? Not only is it aptly named for this forum, but it also shines a very unforgiving light on the EU, it's "democracy", and the behaviour of the french and German banks and finance ministries. What is happening in Italy has all the Hallmarks of another Bailoutistan sadly. I am curious to see if the Italians roll over, or whether they succeed in appointing the government they want, or whether the the EU tries to steamroll the 4th largest EU economy. Interesting times ahead, and very glad we are leaving the EU in it's current guise at least.

Talk about making his point for him. Climate change used to be called man made global warming.

The best modern season is Koeman's 6th place finish. No doubt at all. Going into games with a great team expecting to beat anyone. Solid at the back and dangerous up front. Just missed champions league football (due to dodgy referring in my opinion). A tremendous feat and we were getting plaudits from every direction and no team wanting to play us... Best season I can remember.

I'll say this. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. If he does cling to his job I expect and improvement from him. Doubtful it will be enough of an improvement to justify him not being replaced however. Who knows, maybe he'll balance out with Hughes.

I would actually be well up for red and white quarters. Or a return to our red and white stripes with blue/navy. Obviously not the way we are going this season, but I would be good to see us move in a more traditional direction.

Puel was terrible. MoPey was terrible. Both were correctly sacked and anyone who thinks otherwise is smoking something imho. The 8 games under Hughes is the best football I have watched at Saints in the past 2 years.

That part right there, they just can't handle it. At the end of the day, Pomepy fans of a certain age must realise that, "their sons will wear our shirts". Simple as that.

Firstly, I think he is a more than competent left back for a prem squad. Secondly, I hope this means we are not selling Bertrand this summer? Or if we are, we are replacing him! We cannot go for a whole premier season with just Matty T in that position. If we are following the youth approach, I would like to see Target and McQueen in the side. What I don't want is for us to release a youth player and then sign another player of equal or marginally better quality to take his place.

Are we technically allowed to advertise this on saintsweb?

Small matter of the transfer fee

Not 2 years ago they weren't.

Absolutely shocking that we haven't moved for Cairney in previous windows. The guy is class and would command a key role in our side.
