Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

Exactly. He's taken a good premiership side and absolutely destroyed it.

Thank you. :-)

I'll tell you what. I'll see if he still has a copy of the message you sent him so I can get a picture and post it on here for everybody to see. Oh, and before you start calling me stupid, it's 'weirdo' So who's the stupid one who can't spell?

Keep up. Did you not read the other comments in this thread. Carroll was mentioned and a number of people said he was ****. his performance today Suggests otherwise. Oh, and while we're on the subject of not having anything to do with Saints. What has sending private messages to forum members threatening to cut them got to do with saints? My mate is no longer a member on here because of your threatening behaviour.

Just spoke to a mate who was at the game. Apparently Carroll ran the show today & completely tore Fulham's back 4 apart, setting up 2 of their 3 goals. Yes, he's **** that Andy Carroll, only good from the waist up. Blah, blah, blah.

1-2 is hardly a spanking. :-/

True. Merson is a tit but I can kind of see where he's coming from. It's a lot of money and a huge risk as there were other parts of the squad that desperately needed attention. If GR struggles to fit in or can't settle here then we're gonna look a bit silly.

Exactly. When I saw the fixture list I thought that we'd be bottom after 6 games with 0 pts. I stand by that. It's going to be a long and hard season.

Firstly, I don't drink. Secondly, the Billy Sharp duvet is in the wash after I came all over it last night. Thirdly, I wish we weren't in the Prem. it's a complete joke of a league. Only a handful of teams that can ever win it. Give me the championship any day.

Agreed!

Not missed a home game since 2004. I do a round trip of about 450 miles to watch the home games. Sometimes I drive, other times I fly. Given the amount I spend with the club I think I'm entitled to have an opinion.

Thanks. So let's get this right. I'm a **** for having an opinion that isn't the same as yours? Well, I guess that makes you a **** too.

I don't like Virgin products. ;-)

Wake up. There's been league two strikers who've scored against the premier league champions. The trick is to do it every week and I don't see him doing it at this level. Top premiership defenders will have him well worked out.

How many times have we had our fingers burned with unknown foreign players who can't settle or simply don't perform and turn out to be tempramental? Watch this space. I see see another Augustin Delgado amongst this lot. When did Saints ever spend big money and get good value? £4m for Rory Delap. £3.2m for Delgado. Now £7m for J-Rod and £12m for Ramierez. I'll bet you a cheese sandwich that neither work out.

Every home game. Lambert is not a premiership striker. Fact!

No! People need to be realistic. We've not got what's needed to stay in this league and we've failed to land the sort of players that are needed to survive the first season or two at this level.

Ok, Lallana but Lambert at this level???

Ramirez, Makuda, Yoshida. No premiership experience between them. I see every one as a major gamble. I'd rather have seen us go for the likes of Phillips, Ince, Owen, Berbatov, Curtis Davies, Dann, Benayoun or Adam. All of who know what this league is all about. We sould've got a Keeper too. Robinson, Gordon etc. there's far Better keepers than the distinctly average ones we have.

What star players? Most of our squad is average at this level. Anybody moving would only be going sideways to a similar sized club as we don't have anybody good enough to be on the radar of the top premiership clubs. How much we've spent is irrelevant. How many times have we seen the likes of Sunderland spend millions and still struggle? We've broken the transfer record because players are over priced and sadly that's what you have to pay. It bears no reflection on the quality of what you get. For example, We payed £7m for J-Rod and Berbatov has just gone to Fulham for £4m. I know which of those players I'd rather have seen in a saints shirt. Ok, you might only get 2 seasons out of Berba, but it's about survival at the moment. Yes, we've signed one of Europes most wanted but one man doesn't make a team. What happens if he gets injured. What have we got then? Nothing, because we spent everything on one man instead of adding quality and depth.

Sums things up pretty well. We needed an experienced CB. Now is not the time to be taking chances on players like Yoshida.

Not happy. Defence desperately needed attention and has been ignored. We'll pay the price for this. :-(

So, Nigel said he expected a busy few final hours but nothing's materialised. I wonder who he was chasing?

10. Ramirez. That's all that matters as we're a one man team. ;-)

Had he not been so greedy with his wage demands I'm sure he could've got premiership football somewhere.
