Saint Billy

Bournemouth bound from what I've read, as long as he doesn't cost more than 5 mill., a decent signing for them if it comes off.

I like the line, "Stoke have to persuade the player". Obviously just had the very best in torture chambers installed.

Denoising, sharpening, normalizing doesn't work either.

I think going to Poolofsaints might have something to do with it.

Admit it, who's tried to zoom in on the list!!

My cousin shouted Ulreka Ka Ka Ka to Bob Mortimer and got told to f*ck off. Personally, I was a session keyboard player in the 90's and played in some 70's tours and met many fading pop stars, have got to honestly say that most of them were still living in the past and were generally up themselves and obnoxious.

I give you one name to anti your concern, Pirlo!

Hope your right, perhaps we may have some invention and imagination next time instead of this current off the peg hidious Adidas kits.

I lived in Orange County, LA for a year. Bits I liked bits I disliked, but I have to admit my Mrs and I found the place very threatening ie, someone taking pop shots at cars on the freeway with a sniper rifle, drive by shootings (we saw the aftermath of one), driving home from work every night and witnessing police arrests, car chases etc etc. It was basically like living out an episode of LAPD but we continued to live the dream until we purchased our own car instead of leasing, went to pick the car up after doing the paperwork the day before and arrived to find the garage peppered with bullet holes, this was a Ford dealership and not some sideshow Bob. The salesman said that they were the victim of a drive by shooting. He advised us to purchase a gun if we could, he showed us a rifle in his boot which was illegal to carry in a car but he didn't care, he also had a pistol in his glove box, he said that we were nuts to drive about unarmed. He also advised us to never eyeball other drivers at junctions and if you did you were asking for trouble. This was the mid 90's so things might have changed since then, but we hot tailed back to UK pretty soon after a year. I can't believe people can live like that in constant fear but also I cannot condemn those that own firearms as a means of protection. How you solve the situation over there I don't know but as shown by whats happened in Tunisia in the last day or two, the whole world is becoming a very unsafe place.

RL is no doubt p*ssed off warming the bench at Poolofsaints, how do you think he will feel doing the same back here!!?

Have you considered that he might want to sign for the spuds rather than us, plus, salary might have a bearing.

We cannot keep our best players and we cannot afford to buy in the best players, that's how it is and how it will always be.

I don't view it as a meltdown, I view it as a annual event that won't change. It is whether it not we can sustain getting adequate replacements every year. I guess most clubs out of the top 6 go through the same scenario apart from the fact that we somehow keep bringing on players a bit special. We won't get bored hat's for sure.

Toby had a few injuries and we managed ok, Clyne had an indifferent second half of the season. Morgan will be the big loss and it all depends on whom we replace him with. Hope I am wrong but I have a gut feeling we will struggle this season mainly due to the loss of Morgan.

Toby or not Toby, that is the question.

I'm angry now!

Agreed, but can we afford to waste these opportunities whilst Jwp is perfecting his art.

Especially as we are also in the Europa League, other English clubs have failed in this this due to having too small squads.

This poll is susceptible to a bit of biase voting me thinks.

Plus, Lampard rarely overhit corners.

I have a Saints tat up the inside of my arm, is that ok?

We should have a thread about all the old missing posters………………… .oh!

I think some on here have to wise up and realise that with any success at the club will be eventually followed by those leaving that helped it gain it's success, including the manager. That is how it is at Saints, always has been and always will apart from the odd exception ie Le God. Being a small club is carved into our history rightly or wrongly. Even with a 50k seater Stadium our tag will stick, the only way we might be able to shift the label is to win the PL and then hover between 1st and 3rd for a few years, likelihood of this, absolutely nil. We will survive as a club by spotting talent, using the talent for a year or two, selling it for a profit, sad but true.

I am still somewhat confused as to how we pronounce his name which is a bit worrying, plus I must point out that buying early means we have to cover 2 months salary for these guys.
