Hmmm...having both republicans and democrats in the house & senate. That's a novel idea. I'm sure they'll get along great.

We're a mid-table team who has overachieved for a few years now. You can't sustain overachievement, so my hopes for this year are a decent run in Europe, hopefully one of the domestic cups too, and finish comfortably clear of relegation. I can't see us finishing higher than 8th this season, could easily see 10-12th. I'm on board with the idea of picking up young starlets, developing them for a few years and then selling them on for a ridiculous fee a few years later. It's about as good as we can do.

I don't like that you have limited me to only two options, so I refuse to answer.

Florin is going to have a big role for us this year. You mark my words.

Is he the rather...chubby bloke who hit the post against Portugal? Didn't look so good to me.

Can anyone think of an example of a player who didn't end up playing in the Premier League after a team wanted them, based on being rejected for a Work Permit? Seems these cases keep coming up but they are always got around. There probably is an example or two, but I can't think of them.

You're right, it's all deadly serious.

Sounds like he was having a bit of a laugh with you to be honest. You need to take yourself a little less seriously.

Hi guys and girlies - big apolos for my tardyness in getting to this...I've been busy being on honeymoon in amazing places you couldn't even imagine and sh1t. This thread is for everyone to stake their claim for any ITK credits they are due relating to the New Manager situation...there were lots of rumours, speculation and insider titbits going around before the appointment. Were you truly tuned in to the jungle drums around SO14, or were you just full of horsey doo doo? I'll go first with my 100% accurate nailed on info I shared. In the end it was totally my third guy I referenced in this post. Well done me! I thank you all very much...even the haterz who doubted me like *AHEM* cellone. For this I am cashing in my 10 ITK credits. #ithankyouverymuch I will keep a running leaderboard of who is most ITK. Post below to claim your credits - with linked evidence - and have yourself added to the leaderboard. Current Leaderboard 1) Deano6 - 10 ITK pts Joint last) Everyone else

I agree. And Cedric too.

Have you tried down the back of the sofa? Always the first place I look. Otherwise, I know this is annoying but...where did you last have it?

I would expect most players in the Premier League to be full internationals for their nations. I see nothing exceptional about Southampton.

Is is Manuel Pellegrini Eve?

Didn't Michael Jackson sing about that guy well before Our Nige brought him up?

If they win they play in the final on Sunday. If they lose they play in the 3rd / 4th place play-off on Saturday. Do not expect a few sightings of Jurgen Klinsmann in the next day or so. He will be busy.

It's definitely either Big Ron Atkinson, Little Martin Allen or a mystery third person who I'm not going to tell you the name of but is definitely one person. Don't shoot the messenger, just passing on what I know to be fact. If I'm right (which I am) then I secure ITK status for life. If you ask me my money's on the third guy, but anything is still possible.

He also lost to some random student on a new gameshow this month, so I wouldn't get too excited. You get kicked out if you get 3 questions wrong in a row. He was out after 4 questions. http://fikklefame.com/ken-jennings-short-stint-on-500-questions/

This is the weird thing with all those rumours and leaks recently. If Saints wanted rid of Koeman so badly, why were they also offering him new terms and an extended contract?

It's not illegal to wear socks with sandals either.

What's so bad about that? Do watch games on the telly with the sound off?

This makes me feel better about being a virgin.

That doesn't sound so bad to me. From what you've written they handed their tickets back on a point of principle of club policy, not because of a prediction that the team would perform poorly. Am I missing something?

I heard John Stones wants to come to Southampton. Reliable source.

Did you actually read the article at all?

Bit o' fun tho, innit.
