East Kent Saint

From the picture in todays paper Forster couldn't move fast enough to save the free kick because his shorts are too tight !

Koeman plays 4 youngsters and thrash City ,Morgan joins Everton as they have Champions League ambitions , Guardiola needs to overhaul his whole squad as they can't score and their goalkeeper can't stop shots , Chelsea can't hang on to their players as they don't have enough ambition / pay their players enough /don't invest in top players .

er what do you think caused the Bosman ruling which gave the players the upper hand ?? Yes clubs dropping players then stopping paying them while retaining the players registration !!!!! The players were then unable to earn a living from football which led to the " restraint of trade" ruling known as the Bosman ruling. re Payet BTW !

Selling the club could well be worse than present situation . There are are few buyers that have the club in their hearts , they see it as an opportunity for themselves or their governments. Man C are a public relations stunt now , Chinese investors are , like Russian investors, are trying to export their wealth while pleasing their rulers at home. There are numerous examples of dodgy investors in clubs like Chelsea , Leeds , Cardiff etc.

Players putting in a transfer request usually have an offer (via agent) lined up already , so where does he think he's going ? My bet is Everton .

If we are well depressed how are our team feeling now ? Hoping they can pick themselves up better than I'm managing !

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38466511 Our other favourite ref now trying to get on the gravy train !!!

Is Morgan as good as we think ? hardly played at Man U or for France since leaving St Marys.

Puel also thought our build up was too slow and we were lacking in the final third so he at least agrees with us !!!

Sturridge is NOT what is needed , he had a good run but that is now history and he has been mainly injured since then . He did well with Suarez etc but has rarely looked good or played much since.

Hopefully he watched Vardy on MotD so will know how to do it, mind you it also means the midfield getting the ball forward quickly ...............

I always thought that a release clause meant the minimum that a player could be let go for so once he was off he would then be sold to the highest bidder ???

Do you think "the big six" will continue to fork out for Saints players that fail to improve/make the first team or even the first team bench after being transfered ?

Even so he set up at least 2 chances yesterday , he's not as bad as people are saying on here (IMHO)

Remember that Saints are the team to play crap teams back into form , always have been !!!

6 shots on target one cleared off the line in injury time shows despite being knackered Saints could have come away with 3 points !! It's disappointing but more to do with playing in europe this season IMO

I will be very disapointed if the Saints were to sell to state backed Chinese money . It could be the begining of the end for real supporters . So many clubs have sold out and very few have happy endings , the Prem has all but sold the soul of English football .

You have to take into account the effect of ticket prices which have caused large increase in the average age of fans in the Prem , plus alot of non home fans in the home areas etc It is the team that should get the crowd going ......

Not only scored a brilliant goal but was tackling back and defending all in one match , perhaps this is Gaston's break through or another false dawn ........

The tannoy was much improved in block 28 ! BUT the team was only announced once and there was no mention of subs for either side ????? nor did the subs appear on the screens.

VVD again got his head to everything , so much so I worry about him getting brain damage , Fonte now in sweeping up role ! Redmond was outstanding today , Austin struggled when running the length of the pitch to try and score a breakaway goal !!! but a great penalty . Turned into a great match after a the first half ....

Think I'll try a PDF version next time so I don't get eye strain !! Will subsequent issues be for charity as well ?

Everyone seems keen to find someone guilty on this thread without any actual evidence . Seems you all want a lynching regardless of any facts just like the old days or all those countrys where you just have to accuse someone of something for them to be killed .

Big Sam has a fair bit of previous such as pressurising players to change agents to his agent and dodgy transfer dealings at previous clubs . He should have been happy to earn £3M a year. I'm not a great fan of entrapment as you are trying to get people to commit a crime ie you are part of that illegal activity even though you claim to be acting in the public interest . If Sam had not been approached by these people then presumably he would not have offered to carry out said plan so his involvement is a direct consequence of the entrapment operation . However given his previous the FA should probably not appointed him in the first place !!!
