Guan 2.0

I know you're joking, but Southampton had 3 fewer burglaries in June. Massive hey? http://www.police.uk/crime/?q=Southampton,%20UK#crimetypes Never understood why some people consider Southampton a crown jewel in regards to these matters. Areas like Millbrook nd St Denys are no better than Toxteth and Croxteth.

Actually, 3 people have said it, if you want to be pedant who misses the point (which you obviously are trying to be). One after dropping info that puts a sour note on the potential transfer. But it's ok, because just like saying 'allegedly' after announcing someone kicks rabbits to death as part of their daily recreation, by saying 'if true' you get to be an ITK superfan and pass off any old 'rumour' their personal prejudices have allowed for, and then either enhance or redact that opinion at a later date. Oh, and really, by your standard, shouldn’t they say if true twice? Once for the transfer itself, and once for the offer from Stoke Here's an example "If Jemal kicks rabbits to death as part of his daily recreation (which I’ve heard from Santa Claus he allegedly does), then I don't want this sick twisted bordering on early-signs-of-serial killer to turn out for the saints. IF TRUE". If he signs and has a bad game, I can claim ITK and use it to launch into him after a bad game. If he doesn’t, then I can lead the “I’m glad that Saints didn’t sign that Leporidae murderer, Stoke are welcome to him” type comments. Doesn’t matter if Saints even are in for him in the first place. I believe these kinds of threads happen because of the new tighter info policy surrounding transfers and the tragic and chronic desire to be ITK (we announce them when they are a done deal). For proof, see the recent transfer of Jack Cork, where in a rare move, Adkins announced our approach for him to cool our rabid fan base. But instead, it quickly descends into "IF TRUE, he obviously wants to go to West Ham and can fark off". All of which was forgotten after some good play by the man himself. But the first time he or Jemal (IF it's TRUE we are even in for him) have a bad game, there will be some who point to threads like these and the week gap for Cork for proof and say "You can tell he's not committed, obviously regretting not getting the move to X/Y/Z". And if you can't see the truth of that through recent examples, it's not ironic, it's just sad.

Well said, LB!

Lol@ some people on this thread questioning a particular player's commitment/desire to come to us, when there is no actual proof we have bid for him in the first place, and the even more dubious 'evidence' of his fickle nature in delaying signing for us comes from some alledged third hand personal interpretation of events from "a friend of a friend" of a known malcontent poster. But yeah, we should make judgements on wanting players to sign on this sort of basis.

Richmond also backed Andrew Strode Gibbons back in the day, with the immortal phrase, "Trust me , this guy is obviously the real deal". He has a history of moaning.

Nope! Tel ben Haim own goal, 1-0 to Chelsea. Maybe that's his 'thank you' for trying to not pay him last season.

Just when Goo old 'arry happens to be on trial, this sickeningly sympathetic piece pops up in the daily mail, where Harry talks about his charity work, including just how much personal cash he's spent on those goddam sick kids, and how he looks after the eldery (with exact figures, nothing like doing charity for it's own sake rather than the publicity, eh?). Personal favourites include: Redknapp the crusader arranges club visits on his own authority. He says: 'The day somebody says I can't do it, they will have a big problem.' Nobody questions Harry's modus operandi. He is old school If they can't spend 10 minutes with kids who are unwell when they are all fit, what's life all about? We are just lucky we are in a position to make their day. 'I would do the same if I was running the England team. The game belongs to the public. These people love their football. They pay our wages. Why deny them access? We are privileged and should share that.' To Harry this is a crusade. He says: 'Look, I'm in a position where you don't always realise what an effect you can have on people, what you can do to bring joy to their lives.' The tears come when he talks about Tommy Prince, a teenager who lived close to Portsmouth's Fratton Park.

Judging by Allardyce's comments, and those of the Peterborough owner, he only went to the brighton for the money. Given that, I'm very happy we 'missed out' on him. We want players who want to play, piggybankers need not apply....

Thanks for the suggestions, I will have to organise a tour!

Any suggestions? For a great day like today, would welcome a trip!

I snogged a very drunk Sarah Cahwood at a house party for a mutual friend of my older sister (now THAT'S taking advantage of peoples hospitality!)

Don't know why the fans are so unhappy about the shirt, especially the one side. You'd think the Blue few would have got used to seeing a bunch of Right (únts by now

Just the fact the stage techie turned out the light when they jokingly praised Portsmouth was quality..

Fantastic night last night at the brook last night. Summed up by Nigel Clark himself ".... and just think, you could be stood outside with it ****ing down with rain, listening to U2". And Lost boys were very good!

Which were?

Badboysaint stikes again?

Well done Nigel!

I'd bring on Bart, Holmes and Morgan on 85 mins, if we were winning!

Watch out for crowds.... Walsall supporters were today preparing to invade Southampton for Survival Saturday as the Great Escape sparked a fans’ frenzy. More than 1,500 tickets of the 1,700 allocation have been sold with the Saddlers faithful eager to see Dean Smith’s men complete their stunning Houdini act on the final day of the season.

One adult Ticket if anyone has a spare, please! Email link in my profile.

This. How Hard can it be? But some go on saying next year will be the real test. Because taking a club from 22nd to 2nd with someone else's team doesn't invalidate their opinion that Adkins isn't up to the job of Manager. He's just an idiot Physio.

Where did you hear this? Oh and great coverage on the Football league show. Makes Late kick off look awesome. Which is really saying something!

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2344084,00.html For those who can't be arsed to read it: (Paraphrasing) "Games like this are why we play." "Well up for the game, Very important match." "Oh, and well done to Brighton, even if they are a bunch of Whinging diving (unts who only won the divsion by falling over in the box and time wasting. But Congrats to them."
