Torres

I'm sorry, but do we need Premier League quality youngsters in League One?

He is starting just his second full season of first team football, ffs.

Maybe, maybe not, but it sure as hell kills the bear taking a sh*t.

And a wrong one. :smt071 Mods

...a Liebherr concrete mixer parked outside my office. It made me smile. Has anyone else a similar experience to relay? BTW Mods - you can f*** off if you think this isn't Saints related.

Yes, yes I have. I'm afriad that despite all that, a side of: James, Finnan, Kaboul, Distin, Hreidarsson, Krankjar, Diop, Mokoena, Belhadj, Nugent, Piq/Kanu/Utaka up against Davis, Murty, Perry, Thomas, Harding, James, Wotton, Spiderman, Lallana, Lambert, Rasiak. ? They'd tear us a new one, I'm afraid.

If those 3 were Rio Ferdinand, Michael Essien and C Ronaldo, maybe. I'm sorry, but not matter how much crap they're in off the pitch, their "skeleton" squad would still have more than enough to see us off at the moment. Let's wait a while before we reassert our dominance.

Really? Not even a few years ago when we were demonstrably better than them? Or in a few years when we will be again? Both would be better times than now, when they'd cruise past us with ease.

Seems a long time ago now

Paul Scholes has never been in the side to provide a physical, ball winning, dominating presence.

As encouraged as I was with Spiderman's eagerness to get stuck in on Saturday I still think that he needs a hardman alongside him. And, as much as I like little Simon, I still have concerns about his size. He certainly has the energy but not the physical presence.

Only Wotton, surely. And he is cack. We need someone to sit, do the donkey work and protect Spiderman. Not sure that Gillet is that person.

I wouldn't be surprised if the attendance on Saturday also included all yuor season ticket holders. Any news on how many you've sold so far?

McClean is a massive five foot eight inches.

Just not true. As Chez has already pointed out, Posh were the second best side in the league last season and neither Mackail-Smith or McClean are "big lumps" and Boyd was given the freedom to wander from his nominal wide position.

Made his debut for South Korea 5 years before joining Man U and was a regular in their side.

Haha, good one.

Rule One.

I don't think I've called any student a "stay in bed waster", to be fair. Indeed, it would be rather hypocritical of me to do so...

You made the decision to jack in your well paid job in the hope of getting a better paid job in the future - for your benefit. In return for that you have to make some sacrifices - and if not being able to afford the football is one of them, so be it.

I was vaguely amused to see this earlier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J16f1Z4-IDU Good job that they decided not the buy the Croat for £6m (even though they had the money, honest guv) and have brought in this superstar. On loan. He looks a cracker.

It stinks of p*ss and is never good.

There's a really nippy, tricky winger over there we should be lopking at, but I forget his name. Something like, Arias?

As ideal as it is unlikey.
