Channon's Sideburns

Some people have very short memories (or weren't around when we used to try this...) The Bruise Brothers - Ruddock and Shearer - used from the bench when we were chasing games. ALWAYS WORKED. Fonte used to play in midfield for Palace - we're CRYING OUT for some intelligent FORWARD play in midfield. VVD would be awesome up front. Hellfire, we've nothing else up there, let's face it. Why the hell not?

Someone compared Redmond on Twitter to Ali Dia. I don't agree with that. Ali Dia didn't cost us £11M.

Redmond has done **** all to justify his fee, let alone his place. 'Tippy tappy namby pamby uppy jumpy hands out in front of me why did you want me to move' type player. Frustrates the hell out of me - more crop circles than Fabrice Fernandes with the potency of Federico Arias and Stig Johansen. There, I said it.

When did the Sotonia Cup finish?

That dating wouldn't rule out the accused though - a few of the photos used by the press show him in the old style Patrick training kit - which we used from 80 through to about 86.

The bit that gets me is this. 3-4 days ago, no press mentioned his name. Now, it's open season all of a sudden. I don't think for a second personally that he's innocent, but like post above says, he's not been convicted of anything (for whatever reason). VIP paedos in the establishment circles - press won't even go there with naming them without an active court case ending.

Leaving in '89 would place Higgins' departure under the spell of Chris Nicholl as Manager....and Guy Askham as Chairman.

Well, Lawrie just seemingly contradicted Dave Merrington on Solent just now. Dave said very clearly on Saturday to Adam Blackmore that he reported his concerns to management. Lawrie just said 'if they had been aware, it would have been stopped straight away'. Well if Dave told someone..you would've thought that Lawrie would've known.

There's now a clearer, fuller copy of the 1997 Dispatches programme on YT, seemingly uploaded by a football coach.

The Due Diligence process now involves the interested parties reading this thread. Takes a while you know... haha

There is a You Tube video of the 1997 Dispatches Channel 4 programme, which is openly available there - actually goes through Bennell, and also interviews an ex-Saints player regarding a person, who I think we're all talking about. It's short but about 35mins in. Not going to link to it here, but I can't believe that no-one in the local media is following it up. I guess for legal reasons.

Marco Almeida - the last seen mullet.

Stig Johansen?

I remember Arias playing in a pre-season friendly at Dean Court. I also got an email once from Jim Hone declaring that 'Lucien Mettomo will do a job for us'...

Was Tejera the one that was being sent back..then got a call at the airport?

'Multi-millionaire footballers having a hissy fit over a penalty' shocker.... CA would've looked a monumental t*sser had he not converted it TBH. DT looked like a monumental t*sser because he didn't stop acting like a 5yo. ---- So, in conclusion, I can safely say that they were both monumental t*ssers at the time. Judge Channon endeth the sermon.

Debbie from Copnor on a bench seat I would imagine.

Or...as I pointed out to a friend after Wednesday... 'Tippy Tappy Bulls**t'... No point having lots of possession if we go sideways instead of forwards near the oppo 18yd box. That's frustrated me under Poch, under Koeman, and again on Wednesday. JUST BLOODY SHOOT. HAVE A GO. WE MAY JUST SCORE AND WIN GAMES.

Just my punt...but...in my view... Everton's persuing Ashley Williams is a smokescreen to try and get a deal done for Jose before next week. If Jose plays no part on Sunday, then it'll just get murkier. Everton are shifty bar stewards, we know that.

It's the hope that'll kill them.

Oh yeah, so this is made up is it? http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/qpr-update-charlie-austin-injured-10626977 Jeez. Which is precisely my point - he's been injured twice since he signed, three times last season at QPR...add that to J-Rod's history, and that's why I want us to sign another striker as back up. Going into the season with these two as our main hope alongside Schlong is just madness. There's a reason why he only cost us £4M.

Well..seeing as we signed him in January and lost him to injury for pretty much half the time he's been here.... http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/charlie-austin/verletzungen/spieler/129627

Need more upfront. Bring back Lambo...

Well, after watching last night, and coming to the conclusion that: a) We can't realistically expect Charlie Austin and J-Rod to be available all season...let's be honest, at least one of them will be injured by Xmas.. b) We still need a target man to refer to.... c) Club doesn't seem to want to splash too much on a Pelle replacement.... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?7620-Ricky-Lambert-Bring-Him-IN-NOW!!#.V6MsQPkrLIU
