Is that really her? 60? 'Kin 'ell. That's what I call ageing gracefully (no doubt with a great deal of help but even so....8)8) )

If he did it's not there now.

1970 - 1991 7 title winners, 13 FA cup winners 1992 - 2014 5 title winners 7 Cup winners (+1 team cheated/bought it ) Haven't bothered with league cup. Look at the title runners up and there's even bigger variation. We did rubbish in 74/78 world cups. We also were semi finalists in 1990 (still pre premier), our best performance outside of England (and with a Div 2 player in the squad)

Premier League window is from midnight of last fixture of the season. FIFA and UEFA window is 12 weeks from when it ends. So whilst PL were happy to let deal go through as there were no competitive club games it would affect he was still listed as a Saint by UEFA

This. Sometimes such characters can be worth their weight in gold for team morale in the dressing room and socially, even when they're not the best of the bunch on the field.

He's going nowhere

Why? I Saints are interested they will have plenty of evidence to show him. And we seem to be aware of plenty of foreign up and coming youngsters playing abroad, if Feyenoord's scouting network was even half as good as ours he should have known all about him anyway.

^^ This. ^^ Would have thought he was too well known for anyone to get it wrong, maybe it's just us oldies that remember his playing days. Then again there were "expert" commentators/pundits who referred to Ruud Gullit with a hard "G" when he was at Chelsea, so nothing would surprise me.

He's interested though.

Gone for Davis. Would have picked Morgan but don't think he's the sort that would want it, just seems to quietly get on with his own game.

So not uncommon then and nothing to worry about These pilots are made of sterner stuff than me. Was disappointed not to see a appear from the cockpit window as the pilot went round again.

That was the "Cortese Way". Player looks up for camera, slip in a blank sheet, player signs, both sheets whipped away and the blank filled in later. It's why so many are upset, he promised they could leave if we didn't reach CL this year, next thing they know their signature was on a 5 year contract.

Me too Wish I'd returned mine. Stuck with it till May, first phone I've ever had where I can't wait for contract to end. Might even cut my losses and replace it early. I like Android , I'm used to it so it's not the OS I don't like just this handset (so ****ing slow) , had HTC before will definitely try them again.

What looks - to the untrained eye - like a very near miss at Barcelona airport at the weekend. Spanish authorities claim both planes were where they should be and there was never any problem. I'd hate to think what situation they consider dangerous.! I know we have a few pilots that post here. Is this as bad as it appears? [video=youtube_share;1N5THRSp4hM]

Came across this site/blog today - http://thecolemanexperience.wordpress.com/ whilst reading about an entirely unrelated matter - or maybe it isn't as that seems to be the whole point of it all. Not sure if it's been mentioned on this thread before. After a brief browse through a few pages I can't make up my mind if this is a total crank site like David Icke's or it's unearthing some genuine unwelcome connections . The fact it's still up and running leads me towards the former.

Good to see the bookies (who rarely get things wrong by much) still see us as 8th even with the recent outgoings and rumours. Doubt that will change much even with a few new signings but doubt it still seems realistic as the squad stands today.

I have seen many a mention of Cortese's spoons on here, usually with reference to them as going missing. I must have missed the origin of this merry tale, is it a forum in joke or based on a real story. (Now awaits several dozen different explanations from which I have to guess the real one)

This. This. And this again. Perfect summary.

Nooooo Of all the names that have cropped up was really hoping it wouldn't be true about Rolf.

All a bit vague. You're right about the PL rules but according to Wiki (yeah, I know ) FIFA regulations are that the maximum window is 12 weeks, so counting backwards, that starts 9th June. But then it also states "Although, in England, the transfer window formally opens on 1 July, transfers between clubs in the same association can take place as soon as the last competitive fixtures for the season have been played. However, many transfers will not be completed until 1 July because many players' contracts expire on 30 June.". I guess PL view is that if all parties, buying club, selling club and player are in agreement and there are no possible competitive fixtures after end of season in which the opposition could object to the player appearing, then there is no reason to delay the move.

Well he's not claiming that now and clearly the corpses aren't coming forward so yet again this means a third party(ies) was aware of what was going on and chose to keep it to themselves until now. WTF is the matter with these people? In my eyes anyone who helped to cover up such behaviour is just as guilty as the one carrying it out.

I'd like to see an experimental tournament run a basketball timekeeper basis. Two halves of 30 minutes playing time each, with an off pitch timekeeper stopping the clock each and every time the ball goes out of play and/or play is stopped. 60 minutes of actual action is probably more than is averaged at the moment. It would be interesting to see how teams approach a match on that basis.

My mistake. Transfer window opened 9th June. However he WAS listed as ours on the official FIFA squads list

So did I. Sickening sound. Think it's ok to still count Lambert. He was listed as a Southampton player in the official FIFA squad lists and his L'pool registration can't come into effect till 1st July.
