Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

I bloody well hope so. I have to say I'm pretty underwhelmed with our signings so far.

We desperately need cover at CB. Villa have just signed Vlaar for £3m. That's a great bit of business and the sort of thing I'd like to have seen Saints doing instead of buying Championship standard players.

Have to say I'm a bit worried too. I'd like to have seen us move for a few more players with Premiership experience. Players who are in the late 20's or even early 30's who've played at the highest level. All of our strikers are unproven at this level. On paper our defence looks very dodgy. We desperately need 1 or 2 CB's. The Midfield is the only thing that looks ok. And I use the term, 'ok' because that's all it is. It's going to be a very long season.

FFS. Get a sense of humour!

Dann: I've still got a lot to achieve. Blackburn defender, Scott Dann has spoken about his potential move to premiership new boys, Southampton. The 25 year old defender said, "I'd love to join Southampton, they're the perfect club for me to achieve some of my personal ambitions. There comes a time in every players career where you have to ask yourself if you've achieved what you set out to do. It was pretty clear to me early on in my career that I was never going to be winning FA Cup and league titles so I set out to become the most relegated player in Premiership history. I've been successfully relegated with Birmingham and Blackburn and I see Southampton as the perfect club for me to make it a hat-trick of relegations in as many seasons. I really don't know what I'll do if this move doesn't come to fruition as I'm not sure how interested the likes of Wigan and Swansea are." The stumbling block with the move appears to be Blackburn's £6m valuation of Dann, with Saints only looking to pay around half that amount. Rovers manager, Steve Keen said, "Scott is an ambitious young lad who has the potential to be relegated many more times in his career. We've spoken to him at great length and whilst we're in a position to offer relegation from the Championship, Scott feels he'd be better off concentrating on his target of Premiership relegations. I've spoken to the board about his decision and they're keen to hold out for the £6m asking price. They believe the figure is a small price to pay for somebody with a proven track record and the ambition and desire to further his career."

Sordell looked absolutely awful. Glad we didn't go for him!

Just watched the GB friendly against Brazil. The lad played a blinder. It would've been 4 or 5 if it wasn't for Butland. Not saying we should sign him based on this one performance but he looked very good indeed.

Scouting For Girls. Need I say any more?

The Stone Roses are already booked. You heard it here first folks.

Never! It's impossible to make something that's already a complete pile of **** any wore!

I look at all these squads and it just fills me with dread. It's going to be an exercise in damage limitation. I'll put money on City getting 4 or 5 on the opening day. We're in for a rude awakening!

I couldn't agree more. I really don't think we stand a cat in hells chance with that squad and I'm not convinced that any of our signings so far are anything better than championship quality. It looks like Nigel is building for a future in the Championship, not the Premiership. If we're to stand any chance of staying up we need some experienced premiership players. Starting with 1 or 2 centre backs.

Exactly!

Away kit is cool. Home is just a rip off 80's Liverpool kit for which the club should be ashamed. I'm voting with my wallet on this one as I'm sure many others are. The club will soon see that if they churn out rubbish like that then they won't make as much from kit sales.

I'm pretty concerned. I don't see us surviving with the current crop of players. We desperately need defenders with experience at the highest level.

I think he was being sarcastic. I'm pretty sure the original post was taking the **** out of the fact that Rangers fans go on and on about how they'd be a force to be reckoned with in the Premier league.

£49.99??? Just picked up a pair in a shop in town for £35.00.

BASTARDS! I ordered the away shirt at full price just over a week ago when a member of staff told me that there definitely wouldn't be a reduction. Lying little ****.

Liverpool have not made any contact about Adkins. FACT! Now can somebody please lock this rediculous thread.

There's obviously going to be a bit of a clear out this summer. Who do people think will go? There's obvious ones like Jaidi and Holmes, but who else? Connelly, Puncheon, Harding, Butterfield, Dickson?

It could well be. I have a sneaky feeling that those lucky f*ckers are going to stay up. If I could find anybody who would give me odds on it I'd have a bet.

3 games left and they still want over £40 for an away shirt that won't be worn next season. I asked if they're likely to be reduced and the lad sighed and said, 'I wish people would stop asking me this'. I replied 'Well what do you expect, people are asking you because you've done it in the past and there's only 2 away games left, times are hard and people want value for money.' His response, 'Well you've got no chance, so forget it'. Nice customer service.

I'm following the negative crowd on this one. Time to put some money on WHU being level with us by next weekend. :-( I've got a gut feeling that this is going to be one of the biggest **** ups in football. Top 2 all season and slip into the play-offs at the final hurdle. And before you all start. Yes, I'm a miserable bastard.

****! At 2-1 I'd won £100. Now I'm even more ****ed off. :-( WHU will have caught us by the end of play on Tuesday.
