You ought to replace the word "classic" with the word "recent"

89/90 Le Tiss, Rod Wallace, Shearer and Rideout all banging them in for fun.

Yes it's a big book of words and their meanings. HTH x

We only have one local rivalry. A local derby and a local rivalry are not the same thing. Most dictionaries define a derby as "a football match between two teams from the same area". Arsenal v QPR is a derby Bristol Rovers v Yeovil is a derby Barcelona v Espanyol is a derby In each case they're not each others major local rivals, but that doesn't mean they're not derby matches. FWIW - I actually disagree that Brighton is a derby match, but that's because I don't think 65 miles apart can be counted as particularly "local". Saints v Bournemouth is a local derby.

I'd like to see the stats that back that statement up!

Tactical? Or the club not providing Puel with a decent striker or two to operate in the box!?

- Agreed - No. As Ultimatt posted elsewhere - Puel's tenure yielded the most shots since we were promoted. Suggesting that it is the quality of player, not the tactics that were the problem.

But according to you on countless other threads it is Les Reed who is the reason for our progress stalling. Did Puel blow his chance? Or did Les not strengthen the squad sufficiently to actually give him a chance? Can't see how it's both

I thought you blamed Les Reed for all that?

He couldn't get them to playwright

Howe doesn't strike me as someone with a high opinion of himself. Generally comes across as a pretty humble and level headed guy

Obviously a very good manager for us then.

You can quite feasibly support Saints til you die without sitting through all the turgid sh1te they're serving up at the moment

You know that for sure?

Quick recap - my question, (which was specifically directed at another poster), was "who are you hoping we'll bring in?" It's a little unclear (to me at least) how your waffle about it not being your job relates to that question - but ok

I wasn't asking you. But seeing as you're the smart ass - I specifically asked who

Who are you hoping that we'll bring in?

What an odd post

Gut feeling is that there's an attacker incoming. The club have made two impressive signings but neither address the biggest problem we had last season - converting chances. It just feels as though we mean business this summer - and with JRod leaving and Sam going out on loan again - the stage is set for us to complete a great window (I hope!)

What club would pay £2m for him, do you think?

Amen brother

So many things to throw on the ground...

ITK?

Did you mean to post this on the Hugo Schecter thread?

Bit harsh on Beresford, I probably would
