did you listen to the SaintsFC podcast where a stato showed that Clasie had the best win % of any saints player

oh no please not. Just a VVD own goal as he dislocates his ego from his head

The media just love them so much. The H word is always brought up, and Iam truly sorry for all those poor true football fans who died innocently, the victims of Hillsborough I mourn as well

Funny that was a club that sprung to my mind

well he is a Liverpool fan

I expect the club are as usual complacent and think MH is unlikely to get poached by another. This uncertainty cant help with ST sales. The initial good feeling seems to be evaporating away

you should know the form. We will hold back naming the manager until the window is about to close or get someone who is desperate to get a job in the higher profile. They wll then come in and say we don't need anymore players etc blah blah

Well I think you have the record of becoming the most well known poster so early in the life of this site

Tinker Tailor Soldier Troll

I agree after all we are on the internet ,Ive posted my picture

please point us to any club who hasn't staff that are spending other peoples money? Cortese I believe wanted the club to get into the CL as per ML dream. I got the impression that he was going for that as was Marcus's wishes.

fair comment

to be fair the thickest negotiator would have seen how we had Liverpool by the nuts. They were about to get 120m for a player and needed VVD at almost any cost.The transfer fee never really comes out, I doubt we got 75mfor him, its all smoke and mirrors. The club want to appease the fans a tad by saying 'well we got a world record fee' and Liverpool will make their fans feel good by saying 'well we paid a world record fee' Its what is in the books that the VAT and tax is eventually paid that really counts, not what is put out in the media. Saying that I think the club do get decent prices for the players, but from my standpoint when clubs have gone for Everton players they have made it very difficult ,wheras I get the perception that clbs don't believe it when we say a player is not for sale

you're having trouble disguising your delight on our surviving Mack. I promise I didn't laugh at the Bury goal, I felt a bit sorry for the keeper, until I saw him throw his arms arms up and seemingly trying to blame someone else. I watched the S****horpe and Rotherham play off semi final 2nd leg ( you have to finish in the top 6 to get into those BTW) and thought the quality was pretty good and the football played was tidy and skilful.Do your lot play that quality? if not you are going to have trouble finishing high in the league next season. God knows how Sunderland will cope

We don't know on what basis MH signed initially up to.He may have agreed to let Les still do all the stuff he already has been doing and he is just in charge of the first team

Did he say that he was going to appoint Hughes in the interview? I didn't hear that bit. I'm going to listen to him again as I wasnt sure he was owning up to mistakes but that it all was a surprise

Can you put me down for Burkina Faso as I haven't been there either

That's a shame as I like Bearsy posts

As you answered my perfectly reasonable questions I will do the same for you Ekon 1 I preferred the first statue as it looked like Albert Steptoe, Milan Mandaric and an old bloke I used to see picking up fag butts from the gutter when I was a kid. It was so much like modern art, as you have no idea quite what you are looking at and need a pretentious prat to tell you what it was supposed to be. 2 I don't drink beer at football and so cant comment on that 3 I love profit and spend my time making them

Lol, that is too amusing for Glasgow so it must be Bearsy

I'm sorry if Ryan is upset. The problem is that he hasn't played the way he did last season. The spark hasn't been there and perhaps he has paid the price for not being on it as he should have been

could be Bournemouth Saint

Oh come on Alpine, Ryan would be going anyway if he gets the chance. Southgate is hardly a big club manager as he spent his career at secondary clubs and so would know what it takes to get an international call. Young can play as a winger or full back

I wonder if Bertrand is injured. It looked to me that he pulled a hamstring and so would be too much of a risk. He hasn't been playing that well anyway. I'm more surprised that Lallana is not in the squad, he has the guile to unlock a defence
