Saint J 77

He shouldn't of said anything really. Matt will always be a Saints hero to me but if he did hear NC say that he should of bit his tongue and left it. All saying that will do is create a division amongst some of the fans, and right now we need to be together as one

I really am still feeling very gutted. It just had to be Fergies day didn't it? Not even getting a point was the real kick in the teeth!

A good performance again but still no points, very annoying. We can't keep playing well and have nothing to show for it. Hopefully the results will come but I'm not very happy this evening

We hope

I have a funny feeling we might get something, dare I say it, even get a shock win!?

Has David Connolly found a new team yet?

Only half hour left to sign, its not impossible but I reckon we are probably done now. We have spend so much money already, that even I feel light headed. As I Saints fan I have never know anything like this before. It truly is a new era we are seeing right now. I just hope its the start of something pretty special!

Haha yeah I was just reading that too, very funny http://twitter.com/GaryLineker

I reckon thats our lot then, unless he hasn't got his information correct.

Shame, looks like he isn't going to get his chance in the premier league with us now.

This is a long ten minutes

I want to see Iron Sky but haven't got around to it yet. I'm getting those Fringe episodes soon. So hopefully I'll be up to speed on it shortly

Well I am just back from today's match and I think I'm going to take a journey to the 24th century and stick on my Next Generation Star Trek DVD boxset. I just want to forget all about football this evening! My love of sci fi is a great help to me through all the bad Saints results

I wasn't trolling, please read my above post.

Sorry, I mean't to say With both Gaston Ramirez and Matt Phillips potential transfers looking like they are dead. I'm not ITK. I just drew that conclusion from the information I have read on both their current threads on here.

Very frustrating from our, the fans, point of view. I guess we will have to wait to to final hour of the transfer window before we find out if we'll bring anyone in now. I am sure the club are "Working hard, behind the scenes" to bring some targets in though

With both Gaston Ramirez and Matt Phillips potential transfers dead, I think I'd would settle for just one decent centre back in now before the transfer window shuts.

Great Picture, its just a shame he wasn't in a Saints Shirt at the time!

A great book I've recently enjoyed reading is a Stephen King book called 11.22.63. Its a time travel story about a guy named Jake who's dying friend shows him a gateway to the past, that just happens to be in the back of his restaurant's pantry. The time portal or rabbit hole, as it is referred to in the book, always takes you back in time to the same day in 1958. Every time you go down the rabbit hole you reset anything you did on your last trip. Jake's dying friend Al asked him to try and finish the job he started and stop the assassination of John F Kennedy. Al has lived in the past for 4 years, until 62, but returns to the present when he is diagnosed with cancer. He has collected lots of notes and hands them over to Jake. Al is convinced by stopping JFK's death that a chain of events would happen making the world a better place. The question is will Jake go back and wait 5 years to stop the presidents death? Very minor spoiler ahead, just in case you ever read it... Its a great read. I really felt like I was going to 58 with Jake, on each trip he took That's not really giving much of the plot away. At times the story gets wrapped up in a lot of facts that King has included about a certain gunman that had some involvement. But the heart of the story, is really about Jakes journey into the land of long ago and the choices he makes and the people he meets along the way to his ultimate decision. Definitely worth a read if you like a good time travel story.

I've still got the last 5 episodes of season 4 to watch. It's been a while since I've watched it now. I don't have sky but a friend has been downloading it for me. I'm going to have to ask him for those last 5 episodes so I can catch up. I love Walter, he really is one of my favourite characters in a Sci fi series to date. John Noble's performance is spot on. He plays the crazy genius superbly. One of the greatest side effects of Walter's mental state is that he has nearly no inner-monologue. Whatever passes through his mind almost immediately comes out of his mouth. Whether it's his hunger, a memory from long ago, or a bodily function, Walter will feel free to share it.

haha oops, Sorry that was rather wishful thinking on my part wasn't it?

I thinking this way too. I think I would prefer we spent our money else where, on young players with potential like Clyne who will demand less wages.

Lowe's only motive for developing our youth was money. He basically saw pound marks above the young players heads. They were never developed for the benefit of the club rather they were developed for the cheques he would receive from players like Walcott. The money those cheques brought in never benefitted the club, they benefitted his shareholding buddies, where most of the money we got from those players PROBABLY ended up. The difference between now and then is when we develop a player we can actually develop a player with a very good chance it will be for the benefit of Southampton Football club, not for Spurs or Arsenal . If we do have a player who gets seduced by a big club, like the Oxlade Chamberlain situation, were the the player wants to leave. Then we also know the money from the sell will be invested back in the team. That NEVER would of happened under Lowe.
