If you were based in birmingham, you too would look for any excuse to clap and get offended when others didn't, if only to take your mind from your predicament. We should pity these souls, not condemn them.

Was about to smileyface but no need now

Did somebody say we were first on match of the day?

I always imagined your good self dancing around the asian areas of the olympic village, dancing gangnam style, and offering emo makeovers in return for favours?

His record so far points to an insecure pseud who, try as he might to present himself as an iconoclast, constantly exposes himself for what he actually is - a third rate troll. Especially in his employment as a defense as that of an over eager devils advocate, or even worse, the 'top gear defense'.

At Tranmere, my mate nick kept in giving it the 'calm down, calm down' arms. At 3-1, he started singing, "we're going to win 4-1", which he carried on, modifying the scoreline as appropriate, despite my urging to the contrary. At 3-3, he went to start up "we're going to win 4-3", but was stopped by a number of blows to the back of his head. After turning to the guy behind him and saying it was way over the top (I had warned nick that it wasn't the smartest move), I asked him if he was ok. Incredibly, he insisted that he was fine, had not been punched, and had just gone to put his head in his hands due to the scoreline. When I pointed out that the back of his ear was bleeding, he said that Tranmere fans had thrown coins at him (bear in mind I was stood directly next to him, towards the back of the stand). Even after the match had finished, on the coach home (and to this day), he still sticks to this story. He Even told fellow Saints fans (who enquired after his injuries) on the coach how angry he was at the 'dirty' Tranmere fans and would come back to 'get' them. I didn't believe that mental gymnastics like that existed anywhere else is this world, until I read Corp Ho's posts on the PTS thread in the lounge

Anybody know who the player on the far right of the mural is? Looks like he could be useful in a midfield scrap.

Neil Allen. It was a slow news week (mind you, those within the offices of The News have always been a bit slow.

Care to share?

Was gutted to see him turn out for pompey.

Ha ha, seriously, I have some good sources. But I've never heard to many bad things about the man in question, I know those who had prevously cushy numbers (Mcmenemy and son with their highly payed ambassadorial/dodgy transfer roles with redknapp, respectively) who were then were told "everyone buys a ticket" had a bit of a meltdown, but not too many. I'm just wondering why these awful truths about Cortese have yet to come out? It would be like the Cold war era Soviets having proof that the moon landing was faked, but only hinting at on message boards, and inventing nicknames like 'capitalist cultist' and Lyndon BJ!!!111 Seriously, if this stuff is bad, I'll support you. I just want to know what it is!

So what is this deep dark secret about Cortese? Can someone tell me?

How about.. Something something "Having spoken to Nicola, we realised that we have a lot of Common ground. And although we have had our differences in the past, we both want what is best for Southampton FC, which is why I am happy to put our issues to rest. Come on you Saints" Done.

As much as Matt has done for the club, unless he has been living in a cave for the last 3 years, he must know how the club adheres to an 'in house' and behind closed doors approach to all issues. Therefore, stirring sh!t on Soccer Saturday and calling a Whammmbulance on twitter is only going to exacerbate the situation, and he knows it. A phone call would be much better. Anyone that thinks Cortese doesn't believe in clear the air talks clearly didn't see Puncheon starring for us today.

Maybe if my aunty had ******** she would be my uncle. Now F*ck off.

A guy with his finger on the pulse.... Unfortunately, it's his own, and he's measuring it through his azzhole.

Looks like the holding pattern is almost over, and permission to land is soon to be given . The other player is impressive, not Gaston level, but still very good - can't give anymore info at this time - But as I said, domestic backups to try for if it fails ! Saint Charlie - sorry for not posting a reply, but 3 post limit means i sometimes have to wait hours before writing. Oh and Bucks Saint, look at whether a poster has a history of indicating incoming signings before writing info off as 'tosh'. I may not be able to give the most detailed updates, but I say as much as I can as often as I can without making life difficult for my source.

Quick update: Ramirez - holding pattern. Another player - one being worked on. If that falls through, there are a few domestic players that we've been rebuffed on, that we can try again for on dealline day (be a phonecall and rush job). Apart from that, business done.

I was Agreeing with you!

Christ you're stupid. We're already in the hunt for another CB to go alongside Yoshida, and Ramirez has the potential to be world class. But you would rather we drop everything, and instead go after Kasper Schmeichel, a so-so keeper who conceded four last night against the mighty Burton Albion. What a F*ck!ng plum. Thank god the schools go back soon, and the novelty of being back in the top flight will wear off for the JCL's.

I'm just hoping that when our new signings run out on to the pitch, people remember who made it possible, and sing his name... There's only one Markus Liebherr...

Heard about this from a source a while back - And was very excited! knew my usual smiley wouldn't do it, and tried to drop enough hints - See if you can see through my super secret spy code! http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?39465-Matt-Phillips-%A36m-official-bid&p=1446323#post1446323
