  1. Perhaps listen to the Totalsaintspodcast and you will hear a good explanation of this by Jacob Tanswell. It made sense
  2. I thought the high line was a good way to defend freekicks, many times the opponents scored but it was chalked off for offside. What the opponents started doing was have a player burst through after starting a couple of yards out. Sadly we have KWP doing the blocking of that player and he was too waek to stop this player who then went on and scored. In principle done well and it worked well. Like the Che sitting down after 60 mins so we could get energy drinks stopped and we went into freefall from there as well
  3. Sadly the one who really could have made us something died before he could get us the glory we deserve.
  4. Bednarek is not my favourite player and I was happy that Villa took him on. Fact is he's one of ours and so we should embrace him and hope he can help us win a few matches.
  5. If he went to Grimsby he would say the same to the clubs website, fans suck all this talk up as though they mean it. Ings was 'one of our own' apparently but really a Musketteer 'All for one and all for me'
  6. Hasnt ever apologised either
  7. So long ball is the way you wish for. They did the same with Big Sam, kept them up but
  8. I dont understand the hilarity of the radio station. Having a radio station blaring all around Hants, Dorset Wiltshire advertising our club, tickets etc etc was a fantastic advertising tool. In principle it was valid.
  9. There is not a person who doesn't at times have a different opinion to mine, they are wrong of course, but you accept it and counter. I do wonder if the mix of competitors is pretty negative on there, but perhaps thats where we are. I was called contrary by a Saints fan when I voiced my opinion the other day and perhaps he was correct but I do feel it would do us all a favour to have a bit more postive views. There again Id hate a happy clapper!! My record of wanting to keep Puel and to give him a chance, admire Nathan Redmond, seeing a positive in some of the things Rupert did, does put me in a certain bracket lol Great pod anyway
  10. A point is ok.
  11. Apparently as they spread the transfer over 7 years and make payments in installments its a way around it. David Ornstein was on football daily on the BBC explaining it. Clever accounting
  12. I didnt watch the end, and assume he scored but the bit I did watch he looked just ok and will be easily bullied in the PL at present. Just my opinion of course
  13. Maybe but would give us much needed muscle, power, and seems decent in he air
  14. thanks for that, I like the power and he seems to use both feet, Lukakuesque, oh for a Cyrille Regis or Les Ferdinand. All powerful , pacy and scared defenders
  15. OMG we are sinking fast with the players suggested , Akinbiyi will be the next suggestion lol
  16. so lets get this straight, Chris Wood is a lump of a striker who relies on long balls up to him, or bustling around the box, with little mobility. Our fanbase fell to pieces as we were perceived to have a manager who played the long ball. That was not right and we had meltdown, you now want us to have that player who fits into that style of football!! Can you see the madness of this?
  17. Who has come in for other lower PL clubs who really has done well in the under 20m price bracket that we should have got? Im surprised noone has gone for Sarr at Watford, powerful aggressive front man
  18. Well you can stop bringing Ings to te conversation as he is now at WHU, as for Broja he is lying around recouperating somewhere. He has not pulled up trees in the games he played this season and towards the end of his time with us had lost his zip. Any forwards worth their salt are playing for the top sides and any others are a risk. WHU spent a fortune on that Italian and he hasnt fired, so what if we do the same just to appease?
  19. A bargain if he kept us up and any one else we sign doesn't. WHU pay massive wages and as he is a mercenary that's where he will go. Dont believe he is a Saints fan or some kind of local hero as he isn't, he's only interested in No 1
  20. Are you sure DT is Alpine Saint?????? Im sure Alpine had a better judgement of a player lol
  21. Gakpo may not turn out be the bees knees and isnt a centre forward as far as I can see
  22. I think you have got it wrong re Larios
  23. To be fair you can see him hobbling after the first tackle. He did look like a mix of George Lawrence and Ricardo Fuller
  24. The problem with 5 year contracts is that if the player is a dud we are lumbered! Too many times in the recent past we've had players on amazing long term contracts and we cant sell them. Watching the deadline day documentary on Sky I saw last night, the agent said 'you will be on a 4 year contract but you will leave after 2 to go to a bigger club.'
  25. I dont know, was he
