great a top half finish, something dreams are made of. I suppose its better than a bottom half finish. In 20 years time we will be able to say 'I was there when we finished 8th or 7th or 6th' If the club really mean what they preach about growing our fanbase then it is about time they showed it, as selling stars will not wash with fans from throughout the world.They wont feel proud to support a team that finishes as also rans. IMO they are playing us, I still fell for buying a pair of football shorts for £25 quid as it has a saints emblem on it, I doubt they would cost more than a fiver without the logo. Im a mug punter due to my years of supporting Saints but I am getting more and more fans talking to me who feel pretty let down and losing interest.

its a case fans care. The club has been telling fans that we were going for CL and so many believed it. IMO you can only dash fans hopes so many times before they lose interest or faith in the club. Rightly or wrongly there was a feeling that we again had built a team that could challenge and with a good bit of investment could really do something. Again we culled our stars and manager and failed to reinvest that money fully into the squad. I suppose the realisation that we will always jut be also rans is sinking in and the frustration is coming out

where did he say that? I watched Motd 2 and they didnt mention the pen

but that wasnt the challenge!!!!

I always wonder why hush hush meetings are done within 20 minutes of our training ground and not in Geneva etc. Anyway I wouldn't take a client to Limewood, not classy IMO allowing women to breast feed in the fine dining area ffs . i know it's trendy but

the fact of the player lying injured did not get mentioned on motd. we always get dire decisions or refs who are determined c for Arsenal to beat us. i think it is about time that refs had to do after match interviews

perhaps not a world league but aeuropean super league is more likely.

I suppose if you just stand in the middle and wait for them to kick it straight then perhaps that is true but if you think that they can wait to see which way its going and then dive you have no chance

Darren, some years ago they did a scientific study of keepers waiting for the kick with Peter Shilton who believed he could wait. He never got near the ball. The ball goes so quick there is no real time to dive if the ball is already struck

well they werent moaning about parachute payments a few years back and conveniently had an extra one bunged to them

I voted remain, but this is getting ridiculous. We cant go back on the decision and what a national disgrace if we try and wriggle out. I have always followed that an Englishmans word is his bond and that is how is should stay. As for all the laws, basically it will be best we keep to how it is and in time repeal anything that does not fit, not go through every piece. The civil servants and lawyers will love the overtime

he still cant shoot

Basically you are saying fingers and everything else crossed. So far our defence looks less secure than last season and the loss of our best defensive midfielder, therefore I was being generous not highlighting that we may need to score 2 goals instead of 1 to win games. Yep many variables but we can look at the past record of Shane Long (who is a great team player) and you can see he is unlikely to start being a 20+ goal a season man. If that is the best cmplacensy you have ever seen you must be on a bloody good bonus

lets hope he can score the 22 goals we are short of due to sales. Complacency is a dangerous game to play. It is madness to rely on Bouful to hit the ground running after match winning players have been sold. Please assure me where the goals are going to come from the midfield and attack so that we are going to win plenty of games?

I wouldnt put us in the good section. It is the time will tell box. If the main signing does not come off we have had a terrible window. I think it is too much to expect of the young player we bought from Bayern to make our midfield strong

talk about giving it out but cant take it lol. Personally I would be happy to debate chat with fans of other clubs if they were not giving it the big one.

Well it depends who you believe is/was our most valuable player. If you think that had an offer of £35m come in for VVD we wouldnt have sold I would say you would be wrong. So yes we did sell our most valuable player, IMHO

I dont thin you can really start predicting until 10 games are gone. What end of the table will depend on if we can actually win a game. Our performances so far look tidy play without goals.

are you saying Arsenal didnt try and buy Mahrez and Chelsea werent interested in Lukaku??

But they kept them, they priced them so that they wouldnt be sold.

So they are only the most valuable players if they are sold lol

Lukaku, Mahrez and Vardy????

thats how I see it. We have to get on with it now and try and supprt the club. Leicester and Everton have put to bed that you cant keep your best players.

Suck it and see time

Oh thanks for that:(
