I think that the process is that when we started the season,and everyone assumed we were a mid to lower table candidates, maybe even flirting with relegation, teams were underwelmed when they were about to play us. And we played them off of the pitch and were unbeatable at home. Our away form was, and is, a little derisable, but we didn't do too bad. Then we got to the top. Teams then spent times looking at how we played and found ways to stifle our playing style. Our form started to slip. When Rickie was suspended that was it for us for three weeks. No Lambert against Coventry, firts teamers out, Saints are going to lose, especially with kids. WE won. No Lambert against Nottingham, even though they are bottom, Saints to struggle. WE won. With all this 'who's going to play where' I think we are at the stage where we have to once more stymie teams by being unpredictable and mixing the formation about. I personnaly think that is what Adkins was upto with Morgan on the wing, and with the signings so far, and the ones to come? With No Rickie to mark, who woudl opposing managers mark? With Adam playing in the midfield, then the wing, how to mark him? If our two best players are not the ones scoring the goals, how to stop us playing? Lets see now. Mark Guly, and Connely, and Morgan is scoring, so mark him, and Adam. What about Lee? How to mark him? What about Hammond, he's shooting from range. By keeping them guessing, we only open them up and stop them marking us off the park. so the only solution is to park the bus. But with the pacey players we have, we only ahve to beat the off side trap a few times before we score. And again. We are going into the realms of playing the saints way, in the saints formation. Which one is it? Well, lets keep them guessing. Because we can change the formation to suit the cecumstances and we are trying to get the players to do that. But with greedy agents, clubs looking to hold on to what they got, or be compensated for their loss, the asking of silly money is one thing that WILL stiffle us, as we will not pay it!!! Nicola is ahppy to tell them to Fuss Off, and I beleieve that our Jay Rods, Maynards, Sharpes et all will actually be from abroad eventually, as the french, Spanish, Dutch, versions will be just as good, but much cheaper, (or better value for money) that 6m, 7m 8m, for pretty good Championship players, who are average in the Premiership.

Are you sure it's not Papa Mango. Was underwelmed, but I am more up beat now I have read up on him, and all the loverly boys on here already agreeing it's a good thing. Onwards and upwards. Who's next?

Ask your wife or girlfriend to name saints players.....

Papa Mango!!!!!!!!! I can't beat that but I'll ask her this evening. -
So I'm there watching the Saints match on Iplayer, and enjoying it immensely when I realise the commentator is John Roder. I had a few blokes round his house Sat morning, what a coincidence is that? You see they were in dispute with him as they couldn't understand what he wanted so I waddled over and spoke to him. SSA: Good Morning Mr Roder. I’ll here to find out what you want. JR: Jood morning, Mr SSA. Well, you see it's my Juttering. It full and needs cleaning out. Also I think there is a problem with my Jullies. They appear blocked. SSA: Eh? You Juttering? JR: Yes, the Juttering. You know, on the roof collecting the rain water. SSA: Oh, er OK? Anything else? JR: yes, I need a few blokes to Jo and Jet some Jlue to fix the loose bits on my Jable end, and is there anyway you can be a Jent and Jive us a hand to lay some Jravel to my driveway. SSA: Ah, yes of course we can. I'll be back with some operatives in an hour. And whilst watching the match he was commentating, it hit me. It's a speech impediment that he, and a few other commentators have, (more on ITV than the BBC), rather than being lazy and not carrying out research that causes them to pronounce our Brazilian goal sensation as Julie rather than Guly. What I fool I am.

Updated : Tadanari Lee Set to Sign
Secret Site Agent replied to Matthew Le Tissier's topic in The Saints
****!!! I read the above and thought you were talking about Tandarandarari Leeee then. -
As it says on the tin. Welcome on board the bus. Next stop Premiership.

Well I can see Mr Cortese getting a call from Arse, Man U, Man C, Liverpool and telling them that they can have him for 20 million. And Callum comes in at 25 million. Until the EPPP comes in which allows Premiership clubs to steal local talent off of smaller clubs without the need to compensate the smaller clubs sufficiently.

It may make him the highest paid Donny player, but where would he sit within our current wage structure if we offered him the same? Or 10%, 20%, 35% more? Money Talks and Bull**** walks. (you can tell i've been in a finacial meeting today:lol:)

I always remember the row over a chippie, a Jamaican feller called 'Spookie'. When I first heard it I thought it was racist, but soon found it to be because he used to work at GCHQ until he had a nervous breakdown and couldn't do it any more, (and yes I not only saw his old pass, but we exchanged knowing glances occasionally). Always referred to him as Wesley though. Never sat right with me, probably my age and background. My Nan did refer to tights as N-brown once and when my friend came round, my great uncle told me there was a 'Negress' at the door for me. I just think that the older generation were of that ilk, and this is what was the norm when they were growing up. But a lot of the younger ones, (and i'm not that young now) are not, as we are brought up with a more multi cultural society. Racism is learnt, I believe, not inherent, because of this. And a lot of PC outrage is done now a days by do-gooders on behalf of the agreived minority who aren't even offended and are more insulted by the do-gooders actions than anything.

A question for the mods about this main board
Secret Site Agent replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Saints
See Alps, I have to also agree with the above. I have had heated discussions with not just you, but quite a few on here and you are one of the majority that NEVER see the point I am trying to make, yopu just shoot it down. You have changed my position a few times to bring me round to your way of thinking, and I have agreed with you on occasion . And I disagree with Jonny in that I wouldn't want you to disappear as I think you make this place interesting at times. -
+1 Nuff said.

And there was me with visions of Boy George going 'Neil Moss, Kneel Moss.'

Director of European Recruitment - UPDATE
Secret Site Agent replied to Lazlo78's topic in The Saints
Hey, MLG. Don't forget you've got him in FM12 going around making comments like 'We should change Rickie Lamberts status from 'Key Player' to 'Team Rotation'.' I'm going to get rid of him tonight. -
Oh, damn you've got me bang to rights. My day consists of: Coffee Saintsweb Answer emails Saintsweb IMDB write a quality submission send enquiries Saintsweb Coffee Saintsweb Price up package Eat Dinner Update programme Saintsweb Home Of course, I work very hard at all this.

I agree. A company can't just 'stop' design and construction progress just like that without incurring costs. I know, as the job I am on currently has gone into hiatus and the Client is paying for my time and a site set up with nothing being progressed. In fact they are paying for me to sit in an office and prepare tenders for other jobs. I am sure though that any impact would have been felt by now.

The "why did they think I would want that for christmas" thread
Secret Site Agent replied to Spudders's topic in The Lounge
I got a large beer glass in the shape of a boot!!!!! It only stands up when three quarter full, less than that and it fall over. We also got back a candle making kit that we got from someone else (sister in law) a few years ago, and gave to the other sister in law last year. I also got a filofax insert calander, and I have been using a PDA since 1997. -
Heres a long shot Loan....perhaps
Secret Site Agent replied to Secret Site Agent's topic in The Saints
I refer you to the above. I am talking about the next month to be fair. And I am half glass full, happy clappy, type. -

Secret Site Agent replied to Secret Site Agent's topic in The Saints
No, you mistake what I am saying. The sticky stuff is Lambo being out for three games, including a few injuries such as Chaplow and Fonte, and any additional signings, which we need. I am not refering to our league position, but we do have to defend it in the short term until we are back to strength. I am purely refering to the short term. HTH -

Secret Site Agent replied to Secret Site Agent's topic in The Saints
Well, it was a suggestion. You never know, do you. -
Here's one from the outfield. Considering the deals we have done with Arsenal, and the sticky stuff we are in, couldn't old Areshole Wringer give us an emergency loan of Alexander Mark David Oxlade-Chamberlain? He's played what, a few of games this season for Arsenal, (6 i believe)this would give him a chance to spread his legs in preparation for the Euros, (if the press is to be believed) plus he knows the team, most of the players, manager, set pieces, where the club is and left on pretty good terms. And we are only one division down now as well. A long shot I know, but it is a bit of an emergency, and if we get William Sharp, Jay Rod, Maynard etc, would help us out, even if it’s only for 3 months.

Puncheon is back today. I would much rather we used him in a deal for Billy Sharp, or a n other plus some cash.
