When I saw the title of this thread I thought he had just died. Anyway, RIP James and thanks for all those free kicks.

i just cant get over the first name.. Cyle. I assume it is pronounced "Kyle"

so umm. yeah... reading this thread, if by some miracle we got promoted this season, it would be one year in the top flight and right back down again. i dont thinks SR has the acumen or resources to refresh the squad with players and a manager in such a short time that could keep us up. Was it Brentford that did something similar a few years back? Basically cut loose the entire promoted squad during the summer and bought all new players? Surprised that worked, odds seemed against it.

Trump has urged the Republican party to "take control" of elections.

Lets hope he doesn't select the team on Saturday with the Leicesrer league game in mind next week. Play an unchanged XI in both if possible, then rest them all in the cup game.

Gaylord?

And then combine with Leo to perform a Terrance & Phillip-style fart celebration in front of the Watford fans.

Would be nice for Larin to follow in the footsteps of legends like Charlie Austin and Jordan Robertson by scoring on their debut.

Ah. SR were thinking about keeping our penalty success rate as it was with...

I'm going to guess that David in Sweden and Swedish Dave are two completely different people

I think the main reasons for him not returning are:- SR would not match his wages. He will surely think he can do a job for a PL side (you rightly mention the changes around him at clubs) Far too well known to be on the Rasmus shortlist. We'd have to lose Charles first, for starters. He was easily our best midfielder when he left. In those early Martin games, he helped get us over the line. Without him, others had to improve. The system had to alter to allow the group to pick up the gaps he left. There were also hints at him being a threat, just a little futther foward too. You never know. A season or three down the line, when we're looking to bring in our annual veteran, he might end up here again.

Personally think Fellows is the most likely of our current squad to have a good Prem career - Only 22, 6 foot and rapid with the ability to carry the ball forward. He needs some work, but i’d be surprised if he’s not a steady PL player at a mid table club. I love Scienza, but I get Anthony Knockaert vibes with him, outstanding in the Championship but maybe physically wouldn’t cope with the top flight.

Family Guy

They'll be complaining about an unfair fixture pile up soon.

Yeah, I get that argument. I suppose a better way to say it is that he doesn't fit the system as the central striker. As a competition for Fellows on the right of a 3, we know he's decent and could have stayed. Guessing therefore its either financial, old guard clear-out, player request or a combination of all 3 that saw him out the door. I feel okay with it though and maybe its his contributions since that pen miss, but I don't feel we are losing that much in the big picture.

Your posting style reminds me of that chap that used to post here, David in Sweden? As for JWP, he always seemed like a decent, hard working pro for our level, though probably not much more. No idea why Nuno hates him so much. Having said that, he's probably never coming back, not do I want him back. No I'll feelings, but just leave the past in the past. Would be nice if he finally breaks that free kick record at some point. I'll leave others to comment on the comparison with Jack Grealish...

GK - Ramsdale/Peretz - assuming Ramsdale stays. RB - New first choice/Bree/Roeslev LB - New first choice/Welington CB - New CB/New CB/THB (if not sold), Quarshie (but Stephens and Wood will most likely still be here for our Premier League sins) CM - New first choice big shit house/Jander/Charles/Downes/Bragg AM - New First choice, possibly even 2/Scienza/Azaz/Robinson/Matsuki/Fellows Str - New front line needed completely. x3 There would be frigging huge work to do and while not all SR's recent transfer doings have been bad, I still think it would be beyond them to get it all right. At the very least we'd need both full backs strengthened, probably 2 CBs, at least one CM, probably 2 AMs/wingers and 2 if not 3 strikers. That's 10 players before we even think about anyone being sold, and that's if all 10 players are hits. Forest signed a shit load (was it 30?) the year they went up and it worked for them but they largely bought so many in the hope that at least 7 or 8 would be good signings. Sunderland brought in 18 (part funded by the sale of Jobe Bellingham but they massively spent compared to what they received) to get to where they are. To compete in the Prem you really have to spend spend spend and spend it well. Then, if you're lucky enough to stay up, you need to spend some more. I just don't think we're the club to do that. Certainly not under SR. That said, all SR will want from promotion, if there is little chance of us staying there, are the parachute payments. Every little helps and all that. But anyway even if we do finish in the play-offs somehow I don't think we'll win them, unless somehow our late season form is exceptional and Larin, Stewart or Archer somehow hit form.

we all have different ideas, but Im not sad that he is not coming back.

No offence, but what exactly is the point of this poorly punctuated waffle?

Where's that facepalm emoji when you need it ?

Thousands of documents have been taken down from the website as they revealed victims' names, email addresses, and even nude photos.

😄 He actually died later in a house just across the road which you can also visit. He was too big for the bed so they had to lie him across it diagonally

Mandelson has stepped down from the House of Lords. Still able to keep the name Lord, apparently. I can think of a few suitable names for him and Lord isn't on the list.

....or so it seems. . A move back to SMS was much-vaunted in the summer, but now we can see that..." ...it 'aint gonna happen." Last night, I watched Sunderland clinically dissect a very-poor Burnley outfit. Prowsey looked sadly on from the bench, whilst Scott Parker frantically tugged on his gum. Parker's appointment as Burnley manager might please his bank manager, but won't look good on his CV by May - or even before that, if he doesn't last out the season. "Prowsey" will be there - until the end of the season, and I wonder what his thoughts are as he looks on, realising that Burnley already have one foot in the drop zone, and next season offers nothing more than a place in the Championship. JWP's place in Saints' history is almost unique, and although his near 400 games aren't a club record, his long service to the club was marked by a player who had always played "above his age", and he is amongst the youngest Saints players to make a Premier League debut (at age 17- in 2012). His career was often criticised by certain fans on this site - for lacking whatever they saw as his shortcomings - whilst his Prem. stats show that he is superior to many of his contemporaries (like Jack Grealish, who warranted 100 million transfer, yet showed no real improvement whilst at Man City). Prowsey's performances (like playing every minute in two Prem. seasons), and his 16+ Prem. free-kick goals are just stats. in the Saints record book. His reluctant move was a last ditch attempt to maintain Prem. status, (and his place in the LAST World Cup squad) was to no avail. David Moyes recognised his talent, and signed him for WHam, (where he clocked up 8 goals and 8 assists) - not a bad return for ANY Prem. midfielder, before Moyes was unceremoniously sacked by an unforgiving Board even after winning their first trophy in 40-odd years. Subsequent managers came and went, changing formations leaving JWP was out in the cold, and their current manager is on thin ice having ditched Prowsey, as WHam (like Burnley) look set for the drop. For those Saints fans who appreciated him, any thoughts of a .." Prodigal's return" was never going to happen. Ignored by Will Still, and everyone in the current management, who quite simply - had never seen him play, has led to us ignoring him.. yet again. I believe(?).. his current WHam contract still has one year to run, by which time any thoughts of a return to Saints will (fairly obviously) have disappeared, while we still struggle to replace his talent.

Yes we do. Mandy was labelled a security risk but Starmer ignored it. Not sure why you're banging on about Farage again but there's a Reform thread if you want to discuss someone who isn't currently in power.
