Never a dull day as a Saints fan. It’s been worse, it’ll get better. I’d say the definition of destroying is what Chansiri has done to Wednesday. We’re a million miles off that. Yes it’s shit, but it’s really not that shit. In my opinion.

They’re my football club. I’ll continue going regardless.

That was what we called him too - was that widely used? Watching his goals back more recently he actually looked better than i remember him. Probably the perfect example of why not to trust a highlights reel...

The Sally Gunnell of the footballing world......anyone else use her name to describe a type of golf shot?

The point in this argument, and i wouldn't normally think like this, is that Downs is less than effective in this team. I'd say worse than ineffective. So actually, what's the worst that can happen by giving him 5-10mins at the end of a game? That wouldn't be long enough for him to worry about not being good enough at this level, or the fans to think he's not good enough...not ready perhaps. He might surprise a few people. You may as well play effectively with 10 men and blood a youngster in form, than play with 10 men in DD.

True, although i'd only want him near the pitch if we're winning a game comfortably.....so he might have to wait another 2-3 seasons.

Type what?

Relax

If that were to happen, you’d definitely end up with a red willie, RedWillie.

Sure there’s a spot being readied in our back 5.

Great deal for the club for a player who is just promising at this stage. If it means we keep MF too then it’s even better.

Still needs to make the tough but blindingly obvious choice and replace Quarshie with Wood. He’s nowhere near this level yet.

“The Wenger Boys” made me laugh every time without fail. Such top Saturday morning pre-match tv.

Fucking great to be back here.

Fair point, hard to see him fancying a stint in the championship though. You’d imagine better offers from his homeland, without the rainy evenings and kickings.

The salute…with Beattie?

Oh yes, the championship is way more forgiving.

Having had a nosey back at the OR thread from a few years ago, general consensus was that he was struggling with the pace of the game, getting around the pitch like he used to so a slower tempo in Spain and moving back to his home country suited all parties. Either way, I’d be gobsmacked if he came back.

He was in great shape yes, but he was allowed to move on because he clearly didn't have the legs for the PL any more....as far i can recall.

Corrected for you - assuming it's the Sam Smith i'm thinking of!

OR was an insane player for us in his day, but he left a few years ago and was clearly off the pace at that time - admittedly in the PL.....does he really have the legs to play/compete week in week out in the championship? I know he was at Barcelona etc etc etc, but the pace and style of play is totally different. Good back up, but really!?

I'm assuming the medical simply highlights any issues and the club can decide whether they want to take that risk or not. It seems we were happy to on that occasion!

We could alter the classic “team of Gary Breens” song for our Jack.

We should make them pay most upon sale and put in a whopper of a sell on clause too.
