Toon Saint

Conscious uncoupling?

Posted this on the transfer rumours thread earlier. Guessing it has been a re-posted on twitter or something. Don't think it is saying he has quit or gone already, but merely linking him to the job at Mannheim and suggesting his role at Saints has been scaled back a bit.

That link to Mannheim may turn out to be complete bs so we'll just wait and see. That said, I think with the sponsor being sorted and the new manager appointed, it might be a fairly logical point to depart. He has never given the impression of a man in this for the long term but someone brought in to assist a transitional phase.

A potato and a rusty nail?

Bit of an odd one but Ralph is being linked to a return to ice hockey with Mannheim in Germany. http://www.hockeyweb.de/del/nachrichten/artikel/news/ralph-krueger-neuer-cheftrainer-in-mannheim-72961/

Pretty obvious why they need renewing this transfer window, as they can agree terms with another club in Jan and we risk losing them for nothing.

Interesting, but do Bournemouth have any real say in how the deal is structured? Also, can they afford to be too demanding given their level of debts?

You'd like to think our scouting work extends beyond one game.

Cheers again Guan. Surely we can have a whip-round to sort you out for the fiver mate?

Good news. Reminds me of Chambers and JWP with how well-spoken and composed he is at such a young age. His hair is also excellent.

Nice to hear Johnny Marr doing the background music.

Lovren and Shaw probably don't want to tweet anything that might be taken as a commitment to the new manager.

Hah Koeman-ah tata What a wonderful phrase

Balls. Apologies all.

If you are going to call me a 'clueless' hypocrite at least spell it correctly. Listen pal, the amount of thread titles you created as DPS starting 'who is to blame...?' on varying issues was pretty incredible. Fair enough if you are channelling Bowie and you have gone for a bit of an identity change with the new album/avatar (and maybe that was needed) but it is a bit rich you getting all sanctimonious and calling out others as hysterical and starting threads 'what the **** is wrong with you lot?' That is what annoyed me, not necessarily the point you were making, which was of course, entirely valid. It just seems like whatever your opinion is on any matter, it has to be the most on show.

Encouraging:

I've got no idea what those numbers you keep trotting out are all about. Are you rain man? If you are getting hysterical you start a thread about it. If other people are supposedly getting too hysterical you start a thread about it. If you think you have been somehow vindicated in your hysterical non-hysterical ways you drag up an old thread about it. Happy to leave you alone if you would stop it with all the attention-seeking nonsense.

I thought this, but he now has about 70k more followers than the Saints official account!

Dibden Purlieu Saint with another 'look at me' bump of his old thread. Getting a bit boring now mate.

Koeman feel the noise Koeman baby, light my fire (try to set the goal on fire) Koeman shake your body, do the conga Koeman my face

Tom Morris ‏@thomas_j_morris 3h @Markla94 Hi Mark, what are your thoughts on Lex Immers being linked with a move to #saintsfc? Would he do well in the EPL? Thanks. Mark ‏@Markla94 @thomas_j_morris Hi. He's more a player for the Championship I think. Very physical but his technique is not very good.
