Based on a footballer yes, based on a human being no way!

Anyone know how long it normally goes on for? Or how long the awards bit does anyway??

JWP, Shaw and Chambers are all a year too old for the scholar award. I expect maybe Reed or Sims to win it perhaps?

I don't mind it, just think it could be made to look a bit more modern.

To put it down at that level will not appeal to clubs either really, most loaned out players tend to go to Championship or L1 sides, so clubs will not hold onto their players to play them at L2/Conference level when they can loan them out to a higher standard still. The FA need to look into making a competitive and meaningful reserve league set up.

Bloke in the mirror has Chambers starting at right back for england at the world cup!

Hmm why call up someone who is playing left back for their club to cover a right back?!?

The mirror is as bad. Lallana to Liverpool and MoPo to Spurs are in today's paper.

Well deserved! When was last time we had 1 in the squad let alone 2??

I heard from someone employed by the club in quite a senior position on Friday that all the rumours and paper talk that Lallana and Shaw having already agreed deals elsewhere is a load of rubbish. The guys name was Les someone....

Chambers to Arsenal (again): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2611459/Calum-Chambers-wanted-Arsenal-Arsene-Wenger-plans-Bacary-Sagnas-departure-summer.html

I think (and hope) that providing MoPo stays the squad will give it another season. We have progress YOY so if our aim next season is Europe then I think the players will give it a shot.

I would take Holtby and sell Gaston. Not sure who I would want to replace Osvaldo though

I'm sure the only reason people are "linking" him to us is because he is a saints fan. If he was a Chelsea fan i'm sure we wouldn't have even been linked.

Not surprised they are linking us with players, we are losing about 10 first team players in the summer according to them!!

Interesting timing. It looks like Burnley will be back in the PL next year so you would have thought he would give PL football a go with them. But with his contract being up in 2015, can Burnley risk not offering him a new deal before the start of the season??

Sell Gaston, sign Holtby. Would be happy with that and save us some cash too

In terms of a new centre back, if Cardiff go down that looks likely what about Chaulker? Fits the bill of the type of player saints go for, young, English. Think his price will be too OTT though due to what they paid for him

Wanna name them? Must be able to get them all between us

I could do 18

He is still only 18, he is playing every week for a top 8 side and broken into the england squad. He could easily stay for another 3 years and he would still only be 21. There isn't a real rush for him to leave IMO.

I'd sell him and use the cash to buy someone else.

Looks like if we are able to increase our sponsorship and commercial side of the business we should be able to bring in quite a bit of extra cash, if you compare to say even Fulham theirs are much higher than ours.

I think the press are convinced he is going. But the only thing next season he can get else where is Europe. Plays every week for us, in the England squad (could easily be starting left back next season). Don't think it's a given he will go.

Sorry bit of a boring energy supplier question. Is anyone with Ovo? If so your thoughts please? Them or Sainsburys energy are offering the best deal for me at the mo, but never heard of them. Seem to get good reviews on the which review.
