thorpie the sinner

finally, pretty sure third bid wont happen!

It appeared in Mirror last night, that is the reporters twitter address above!

reluctantnicko Alan Nixon @ @dankiz1 Back in. Good chance. Fee fixed. Down to player terms. Should be ok. Saints not leicester that is, interesting!

Its like a quick version of wikipedia lol!!!

some tweeter just said West Ham have just signed Whittingham and Sharp, now that would finish off a bad night lol!!!!!

Could have been in stands, but could have been watching his new team LCFC lol

doesnt take much to start us off again lol!! Always thought Billy would be a decent foil for Ricky, just a good old fashioned player who knows where goal is!

I have to say, I would settle for play offs as it would still give us a chance of going up! I also hope NA has a couple of aces up his sleeve, time will tell I suppose!

Well reasoned post and I agree about the lack of depth! hope it doesn't haunt us, but I have to keep the faith!

Looking at Jos's tweet, the players know thay had a shocker! With a few boys back, I am hoping they come back in style! This is way bigger than a pointer! Win and 4 points clear of third, lose and we are third!

I don't want this to come across as a 'Happy Clapper' daring to fight against the 'wrist slitters' post! Yes, tonight was a really bad night at the office, but look at the facts, we were always going to struggle without Adam, Ricky, Chappers, Jose and latterly Jos. Any team would struggle losing the spine of their team!! As we stand tonight, we are still second and well placed considering the team we can pick at the moment! With Ricky back, hopefully Adam and chappers too, we can put this game behind us against Cardiff next week! Indeed a win will put us 4 points clear of third again! The team probably can't play this badly again and I would hope we would be well up for it esp with key players back! Add Tad to the equation and maybe a new signing or two, and we could all be feeling differently next Weds. The bottom line is, we are in control of our destiny, and we all need to unite as one! I am not saying we will get promoted, but with a fair wind, and bit of lady luck, it is in our hands! FWIW, I believe we will go up, but I respect the opinions of other posters who probably feel differently! I do trust NA, but everyone has bad days!

Celtic must have loved that tonight!

solentsportBBC Solent Sport We're hearing Adam Lallana is out tonight. Falque to debut. Still no Fonte. Live comm on 96.1 FM from 1905 #Saintsfc Just for confirmation, not that we ever doubted VMAN

I'll keep you company Trousers!!! I will supply the coffee if you get the biscuits!

Oh God, I don't I dont!!!

I thought this site was about opinions!! Fair enough, we may not sign Hoops or J rod etc but until Feb 1st, we will not know for sure. So all these posters saying this won't happen, that wont happen and that the dreamers of better things to come are deluded, rain it in!!!!! until FEB 1st, these are just your opinions, just like ours are!!

Yep, this is the only time, my belief dimisinishes!!

I must admit, I am looking forward to seeing the purple archer play, still feel we need the major signing NA alluded to!

NA will say we have got a good settled side and the transfer window is complete, mmm

At least we can put Forte up there when we dont make a signing in jan!!! mmm.....Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

The fat lady is certainly warming up her tonsils, oh well!!

some poster on ever reliable not606 claims scottish journo saying NA is no longer interested in Hoops!! As ever I will wait til the fat lady has sung before I believe anything!

I hnow, sometimes you just really want to believe!! Oh well, only another 11 days to go!

The Glasgow meal was the night before, there was an intimation that the 'sighting' was GH returning the favour in southampton!! mmm, I'll go for Col Mustard with the candlestick in the billiard room!!!

I think you'll find I put 'sighted' as in taken with pinch of salt!! he may be been visiting Jos for lunch as previously stated, so it could have been him!!! As ever I remain open minded lol
