Golac's Cunning Stunts

Referring back to the match first posted about, the Ipswich goalie that day was called Shane Supple... what a great name for a goalie :-) Unfortunately, he didn't make it (from Wiki): Retirement from soccer On 20 August 2009, Ipswich Town announced that they had agreed to cancel Shane Supple's contract at the request of the player, allowing him to pursue a career outside professional soccer.[4] He said that he had "fallen out of love with the game" and wished to pursue a different career path. His desire to play Gaelic football with the Dublin county team was a major motivating factor.

However, your post addresses a character called "MLT" which one would take to mean (in the context of this forum) Matthew Le Tissier, who once played, arguably extremely well, for Southampton. If you are still desirous to poke fun at Matthew Le God, I suggest that you rephrase your post to refer to MLG instead of MLT.

Thank You for that. I know what I said wasn't literally true, but I'm glad to see you got my general point, which was basically what a great little team it was. I come on here to get away from pedants, so he has gone on my ignore list.

I was reading a Toon forum the other day, and on the whole, they currently like Leon. As an aside, there are rumours going round today that Mr Pardew has walked

**** me, all I said is that it would do "ok". Remind me not to bother posting again as I clearly don't have the first clue about football unlike you. When I saw that team, it struck me that the transfer fees generated by some of those players must have been quite substantial.

You really are a bore.

Yes indeed FA Youth Cup Final First Leg. St Marys Stadium. 18 April 2005. http://www.footballforums.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-86048.html That team would do ok in the Prem today. Does anyone know what happened to some of the guys who didn't "make it" as such?

Can you guess the match that had this line-up: Southampton: Andrew McNeil, Craig Richards, Sean Rudd, Martin Cranie, Sebastian Wallis-Tayler, Lloyd James, Tim Sparv, Theo Walcott, Nathan Dyer, Leon Best (Feliciano Condesso, 83), David McGoldrick. Subs not used: Josh Dutton-Black, Ashlee Jones, Gareth Bale, Adam Lallana.

Mame Biram Diouf is set to be sent out on loan by manure. Looks more than capable, certainly at this level.Wonder if he will end up at Peterborough...

I was thinking about what would happen if @rse loan Chamberlain to another championship side. Does anyone know if Saints might have put a clause into the terms of sale stating that @rse cannot loan him out to a team in the same division as us? Sounds like a good idea...

Get him on the next series of Wayne Rooney Street Striker. If he does well on that and wears an "I love Nicola Cortese" T-shirt, I can't see how he would fail to get picked up. Make sure you have signed him up to a contract so that you receive your fair share of the spoils as he inevitably rises to stardom to become the next Messi.

This is all very well, but if the player wants to go / puts in a transfer request, then it becomes very difficult to keep the player. The only reason we kept MLT was because he wanted to stay. If we had been playing in Div 2 in those days, then even he might have wanted to ply his trade at a higher level. At some stage it will come down to whether or not we get promotion. If we do, Adam will probably stay unless one of the big 5 come knocking.

It's that age old argument - what makes a "big" club? Is it amount of honours won, size of club, size of crowds, amount of revenue / turnover, etc etc. Everton have won honours, but all of them well in the past, and they don't look like they are anywhere near breaking into the top 4 or 5. If Lallana has ambitions to be a top, top player, then he would be looking for champo league footie, and that means manure, chelsk, manc, @rse, potentially liverpool & spuds. Everton are mid table prem side and if they're not careful, they could turn into a lower prem side. Ask Rooney why he left them at the tender age of 17/18. As for Adam, at some stage he will want prem footy. Here's hoping it will be with us in the very near future.

I didn't realise that Leics have already offered him as bait for Maynard to Brizzle back in July http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/Leicester-City-use-Martyn-Waghorn-lure-striker/story-13017734-detail/story.html Lots of comments on that article. Typical footie fans etc. This one stood out though: “Waghorn was nothing more than a panic purchase made by a manager fearing the safety of his seat. He may well try hard but that doesn't amount to a decent footballer I'm afraid. True, this isn't Waghorn's fault, but neither is it Sven's. To offload him for 1.5m whilst paving the way for Maynard to join would be an excellent piece of business by the club. Contrary to what some Leicester 'fans' think, football is not all about running around for 90 minutes like a headless chicken with no end product. Maynard has an average of 1 in 2 during his time in the championship - Waghorn will never produce this. We must make huge strides forward if we are to get out of this league, especially as we are not the only ones snapping up players to improve their chances. Ipswich, Cardiff, Birmingham and a host of other clubs will all prove stiff competition and having Waghorn warming our bench for 88 minutes and then coming on and running around like his backside is on fire for 2 minutes whilst never reaching the opposition penalty area is not going to aid our promotion bid. 20 goals from Maynard will."

I heard that Reading are seriously thinking about him. They are welcome to him.

I think it was around £2m rising to £3m with appearances etc. But you're right - that is a lot of money. I think LCFC want to recoup their £2m on him though - perhaps Hull might come in and reunite him with Pearson again.

Hi. I was working for a while in Leicester at the back end of 2010 and I went to a few of their home games in which he featured. He was extremely underwhelming and the crowd were frustrated with him. No first touch at all. Not overly pacey. OK in the air. Does he have a trick? Not sure what you mean, but didn't appear to have any on the football pitch that's for sure. I understand that he was **** hot for them the season before and fired them to the play offs. He missed the spot kick in the play off semi vs Cardiff that year. Perhaps Adkins can do a job with him, I don't know. The reason I say I am underwhelmed is in the context of expecting a top, proven, pacy striker at this level. Waghorn is certainly not that.

So are a lot of other cr@p players. Waghorn would be underwhelming and I don't see how he is in any way better than what we already have.

All of these were bluffs to get our rivals to spend all of their money on second rate players. We will now proceed to buy what were our actual targets all along.

Hearing rumours that Dickson may part of the Baldock deal. Anyone else heard this? This is Dickson's last entry on twitter: "Appreciate the support guys!! We will have to see what happens #crazygame"

@Fourth_Official Fourth Official "Right, I'm off, there will be a striker merry go round in the Championship, hopefully it kick starts tomorrow." Let's see what happens - it is Friday tomorrow after all. Maynard to Leics? Baldock to Saints? Waghorn to ...? J Rod to ...? Barnard to Franchise? Who knows?

Is her bush hungry then?

I think there are quite a few feral yobs contributing to this millwall forum. http://www.millwall.vitalfootball.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=86813&posts=48
