Bets on how long until Mancini and Osvaldo have a punch up.........

Shame on you for not knowing

Embrace it and savour the moments as I'm sure you do, ignore the old fashioned ignorant mindset - it can be tough at times but then the greatest rewards are never easily won

Apart from money I can't imagine a reason why anyone wouldn't want to renew if they really support the club

Chambers is not a million miles behind Shaw and glad he's off the radar of other clubs thus far

Nothing more than a PR gaff by his agent me thinks - a little dignified silence all round is required

Call him Alpine

Can't say I'm surprised by the cynical vitriol being passed around (speaks volumes about this site at times), it really hurts to see him go but he goes with my blessing, he's been converted to a Saints fan, gave us 5 great years and will finish his football fairytale living and playing for his hometown. Thought the letter was very dignified and respectful, fill your boots Rickie and like to think you'll get a a cheer when you return to St Marys.

A great statement and you can tell it's from rickie and in general not a generic statement. A day of mixed emotions, so sad to see the fella go like no other player in my supporting lifetime but he goes with my blessing - the legend of Sir Rickie Lambert and he'll still be a Saints player to me for the World Cup, all that influence will be our not Liverpools

I've seen it all now...........

What a shambles, comprehensive in the turn of fortunes since the new board arrived and here I was thinking we were heading into a period of stability

Well said - adios Rickie

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Only one major issue with ITV world cup - Adrian Chiles

Utter ****e songs from the Manc set - broken team......broken fans - happy days

I smell a period of consolidation afoot, no bad thing I reckon. Prepare for the long run rather than shooting for the moon and rolling the dice in the pursuit of short term gain. It'll be a fascinating 12 months in front of us whatever happens.

Bridge and Marsden - great double act

Can't we have an end of season awards night and a free bar, would sort out alot of angst - our £5 fee should cover the cost of a park bench and a couple of crates of Special Brew and Babycham

one of the better badges and was only thinking this the other day playing FIFA 13 and noticing (bias aside) how naff some badges were and (bias not aside) how fecking brilliant ours is

Why can't I see any posts on this thread?

League - 8/10, we've had a good season, enjoyed watching some great football and the younguns blooded in well Cups - 4/10, must do better, the way MP sets out his team seems to be soooo measured there's no room for Cup passion to kick in Transfers - 5/10 Osvaldo (a big risk that hasn't paid off) and Wanyama (no way worth what we paid) Lovren rescues some much needed kudos points Supporter experience rating of 7/10

I blubbed like a baby when I had to put our old collie down, almost 7 years to the day now and I still miss the old fella.

A psychologist would have wonders with this thread and is probably required very soon
