Im not bitter, I enjoyed the last last transfer window of non stories and fantasies. Its the internet, you all can be James Bonds or Sky Sports transfer insiders as you are faceless. Truth is I doubt any of you have 100% correct info, why would people in the negotiations ever give info to us lot on a football forum. If they did they could lose their job. When I had a very good contact in the Saints dressing room, I was happy to divulge after getting permission, I didnt try and set up a secret society lol. Keep it going and we can enjoy the banter. I will take your on the spot info, and then go and google it and see where the rumour first emerged. Happy New Year to you all.

Ive been looking forward for the Turkish crew to relay sfa, apart from when the news is out. Good fun though.

Is that the James Bree who should never wear a Saints shirt again, said by many on here

Perhaps but MLT, Frannie etc have gained massively from being of this type. Especially as being locally born although not a saints fan

Its not the injury concern for me, but he left us in the lurch in his desire to play at a CL club that turned out not to be a CL team. He sacrificed his chance of being a legend here for a few more quid. As he gets older he may reflect what bad advice he took as he has floundered since and has little allies left. If he had stayed he may have scored enough goals to have kept us up last season, I know we were poor but a goals and a few wins could have made the difference. If we had stayed up, this season is the easiest ever to do so with the 3 teams who came up.

We always need a whipping boy.

I dont have bank shares but dont feel there should be windfall tax on them. Anybody with a private pension I suspect gains from the banks doing well as the pension company will be invested. Its not just a case of if a company earns good money they should be penalised. As for the fuel companies, people bang on about renewables etc and want them to provide it, keep taking money from them and they will be less keen/able to invest.

We use about4k-5k heating oil a year, grade II listed house so we cant have double glazing or solar (i hate the look of them)I do have a well in my basement and so the water is about 25ft below ground level, I wonder if I can harness the heat from the water to help?? Question re the solar panels, if they are on your roof what happens when a tile slips and you need to get to it? I believe sometimes only the installer is allowed to move the panels to get to it and so that could be expensive

A tad premature

We rarely have different opinions but in this case we have. Incisive passing! My memory is going but I can't think of many of those. That was my bugbear with him, as he got the ball and then played it to the soft option back or sideways. He was responsible for breaking up our attacks more often than the opposition. Personally I feel the managers were to blame, where he should have played was further forward aka Everton away where he broke into the box, Nathan did it the once then he was put back in a defensive role. He is a slow tireless box to box midfielder. Yes attendance record brilliant Consummate professional I agree Cheap yes, especially playing under a manager who knows the advantage of his crossing with his big defenders etc

When JWP roughed up the penalty spot I felt Southgate frowned on that. Frankly if you take away his corners or free kicks what do you have???? There is no way he will be senior enough to take the ball away from any of the others especially Kane

I dont know the answer here but how is Tella doing ??

you have remember the quality of football judge on here

The vegans cant type to give abuse as they are all too tired to do it. Vegans are like people who have given up smoking, just preach. Also I suspect they also are connected/same to Just stop oil, and the other madcap climate people. They all think they are right and everyone should have to follow what they want. IMO if you want to be a vegan, fair play but stop trying to stop everybody else.

FIFA is not fit for purpose. Shame football nations do not have the balls to boycott it, and start a new association. After all dont England have the original rights to the game of football

Well Downes will not be here anyway, KWP will be picked off in Jan I suspect. THB will be here if we get promoted. Bednarek if he goes will not be a problem as frankly 6 months or so a ago he was said to be useless, on here

I just like to actually enjoy some weekends again. The last 3 years of losing more often than not is not good for mental health

He was a top player for Luton in this league and so knows how to play. Go from strength to strength hopefully

Amazing how players who have been disrespected by judges on here have proved themselves. So pleased to see them getting a little praise. Well done to Downes , Bree and Aribo.

they hated him as he was Redknapp and Pompey. The abuse he had was disgraceful, very saddened when he went off to jeers of 'f-off Fuller' and that turned him to shed tears.

I still sad for Ricardo as he was so badly treated by our fans.

I wonder if they had made a song about him and sung his name

whilst I do see that, by the time we have weaved our magic playing the ball around the back, they have had time to set their defence, lit a cigar and taken a sip of their brandy

The playing the ball around the back is fine if you have fantastic technical players. Yes they get it right 90%-95% of the time, but get it wrong once you've lost the game. I only watched the game from about 30 minutes in. My view is that at no time did i have any confidence that we were going to keep them out. As soon as they pressed our back 4 they got edgy, we ccreated hardly anything and when we did the ball would flash across with nobody with the instinct to be in the right place. I thought Bree looked competent Getting the last minute goal was brilliant
