exactly why stay loyal to anyone. If Lallana does for Liverpool what KD did for us they will soon love him. The difference being that Lallana doesnt have the class that KD has. He was not the worlds best keeper but he put in many performances that gained us points that like RL's goals helped gain us promotion.I dont know KD but i have heard many of his actions not only on the pitch from someone there that makes me admire him.

posts like yours are the perfect explanation why players like lallana etc dont bother to stay loyal to a team as at the end of the day so many fans are ungrateful ######

Are the Falklands in the Argentinian territorial waters? If so they have fair and rightful claim if not the island is independent and can ask for protection or rule by anyone they like I would have thought.

When I saw the title 'comedians' I thought it was another thread on Pompey and their fans lol
-
'These pillagers were intent on finally destroying Pompey with their greed but they hadn’t reckoned on the formation of the Pompey Rebel Alliance'. Funnily enough the greed was overlooked by the Rebel Alliance until famine arrived, now of course the baddies who bought them the glory are now seen as the villains. All involved had their part to play, the owners, the players , the fans and also the News who enjoyed eating off the pillagers table

When are the leaks going to cooncentrate on pompey of their glory years. There must be loads of stuff that would make decent reading

Tadic mentioned in one of the first ones!!!!

I assume them going further than us in the cup will mean there will be shirts embroidered with this below their club badge. Fair play though they beat Ipswich over 2 legs and it is now a minnows versus giants Fa cup match. Bound to earn plenty of TV and attendance revenue

I think Saint Lards post is correct, the pitch normally looks like a bowling green and te other day I wondered if we had changed our groundsman. Whilst it has been the wettest December I suspect we have had other months of heavyrainfall and the pitch being able to cope. Personally if we play as we have lets leave it like it is , lets go back to the days of the Baseball ground!!! Distant memories but it was a magic time to watch football

Lol CB, you made me chuckle
-
I have been critical about the club recently,but this is a great signing. I know that he is injury prone but IMO worth the risk. If we can get 2-3 seasons from him then he is an absolute bargain. Certainly cheered me up
-
Surely Reed or Gallagher must be, reading on here they are fantastic

Would people hypothetically pay more at the gates for more signings?

Prices should drop but at least 30% not go up. Fans produce the atmosphere that have made the PL what it is. if the grounds were empty Sky would not want to pay big bucks as the product would not be as good. Anyway if we did pay more we would be told it was going to be ploughed in and spent but doubt it would be -
Duncan, I and others have not written him off, but surely you can see how bizarre it is that we ink he might start becoming a Harry Kane now. In time perhaps but the team need somebody to start slotting in goals now. To have a raw forward who did not pull up stumps at MK Dons is hardly awe inspiring. 2seasons time then we may see something, but now in the PL???
-
it was a perfectly sensible thing to think, if he was scoring for fun in L1 then we would all think that we should give him a chance but!!!!! Kingsland is quite right IMO and I know like us all hope that he becomes a big star for us,but not being first choice for a L1 club hardly inspires confidence especially if we need some goals
-
Nice man, but I know people wont have it but he failed as he should have won either L1 or the Championship with us. NC did the correct thing and got rid as he wasnt up to the PL. Time will tell how good he is at his new club
-
that is a fair observation about the cost players. Are you saying that in the main we haven't signed also rans? It does put into focus how poor our club is at buying players and their values. you also made a statement that Cuco was signed by Koeman period, perhaps you could furnish us with the evidence to back up your certainty? I ask as it is so unusual for you to actually make such a statement
-
its all very well saying the club backed him and he spent loads, but we sold the real quality and gave us a budget that was only likely to buy also rans, that if they turn out to be any good will be sold on again. Pelle may have been missed today, but it is patently clear that whilst Long brings many things to our game finishing is not one of them.It seems if he had finished his chances or some of them in the last couple of games things would look rosier. Perhaps a clinical scorer would be just the job for us
-
but Turkish told the mongs and helmets on this forum everything was fine! Surely him and Sir Les will turn things around.

I can only give my view from watching Match choice on Sky. I was fully expecting after reading some of the reaction on here to see a wonderful flowing first half by Saints with chance after chance going begging. Sadly I was disappointed, and though we looked the dominant side (the ball in the air a lot with head tennis between the sdies) Antonio is still a raw talent but his strength and power was something we could do with. He seemed to terrify us and of course Carrol scares our centre backs and the mayhem seemed to duly follow. Still at 1-0 our most experienced player had the chance to slip an easy pass for us to be one on one but chose to lob, which if he had done it properly would have been superb but it was a 'in 2 minds lob' and became a back pass. I saw on the thread that Martina had messed up and was waiting for a bad back pass or something but it seems to me he stretched to head the ball and didn't get enough power allowing the hungry Antonio to get away and it was going to be a penalty if he didn't score anyway. The subs were odd in my opinion, bringing on 2 lightweights and taking off pace. Anyway the game went from us and the euphoria of the other was gone. We need to get a draw minimum against Norwich and hopefully get someone in to bolster the team.

'is this his gourd, his holy gourd? 'Turks is the messiah the holy one, his judgement is so much better than all others that follow the lord St Mary' He risest up from the dead once a victory doth become, to spread the word of the wisest of man. To proclaim his commandments that we must follow. He is the disciple of St Les of staplewood, and Ice hockey Ralpf of Vancouver. Their words does he worship and goes out to preach us uncivilised disbelievers. Never has he been wrong in an opinion and many go on bended knee in his company. Come all ye faithful and follow Turkish as he is the self proclaimed lord of football forums Psalm 4-0

Luke Shaw THeo and Chamberlain left the club but still have great affection for us. Any of these young players leave because not only other clubs pay more but they will win things. If I was at our club I would feel the vibes that we don't really want to build a trophy winning team, but keep reaping the money from player sales. The only trophy the club wants to win is to stay in the cash rich PL. 'In Les YOU trust' I have lost my trust, and many fans I talk to are doing the same. Bringing young players through who will have a true feel/love of the club is a good concept, letting them believe staying and building a trophy winning team MIGHT get them to stay a bit longer. I do accept the pressures of agerts and the the lure of CL football high wages is a massive draw, but if they thought they could have glory at saints they might stay.
