thorpie the sinner

Can tickets be bought on the night?

I am beginning to see what our new direction is! Stop the mass sales and actually throw a bit more money at the players we want to keep. Refreshing I would say, hope we can do the same with RK!

I am not sure I like this new serious Trousers!! I preferred the rambling, older version lol!!

Lol, thanks, I was struggling with that one

some bloke said he took a screenshot from saints sight with the player in saints top! Photoshop probably!

Bloody hell, can't even get a random no news story first on here, sheesh!!

weird post on twitter showing Saints screenshot of Oscar signing, then tweet removed!! Random as hell, and good enough for me especially as Norwich are also in for him!! Slow news night, but I need to make sure I am using my £5 wisely lol

We have bought Austin to be main target man, so he definitely plays if fit! Long to play alongside for me with Tadic coming off bench for firepower! Continue with Matty Targett as well to get balls swung in, Austin will thrive on service!

Long's endeavour and work rate is worth its weight in gold for me! Add a few goals into the mix and you have a very valuable player! If Austin bangs in 15 goals as well, Long will be come even more valuable

Spoke very well and actually seemed very down to earth

Solent tweeted we are hoping to make announcement today as well! Buzzing now, might leave for the game earlier lol

Makes me believe more, we are quiet about our business! I am trusting the K Billy thumbs up, not sure he has been wrong before

I actually rate Long! Alongside Austin, I could see him thriving! Leaves nothing on pitch

Have been banging on about Austin for ages now, to my mind, he is the poacher we are desperate for. I remember Ted Mcdougall scoring against Sheff U in my first ever game in 77, Austin would be a similar player. Think the fans will love him. Confident, brash and a goal scorer to boot! Okay, it may not happen, but for K Billy to pop up with a thumbs up, that's good enough for me! FWIW I think it would be Pelle to make way, I love the running Long puts in and 8 goals isn't a bad return, think he would relish playing alongside!

Any possible incoming noises Guan or has RK been told to use what he has! Interested to see how the 'Future' meeting went the other day! Spirit looked fantastic last night so sounds positive! Still think a new face may help though esp if we get more injuries

With the win last night and Pelle back to fitness, I am seriously doubting we will spend this Jan! Even by Saints standards though, the lack of rumours is quite remarkable though! Thing is, I would take no signings, solid mid table and buy wisely in summer any day of week.

Ahhhh, one of those injuries lol

How bad is Austin's current injury? Saw he was absent again last night

Hesketh looking very tidy thus far!

Just cannot see Saints paying anywhere near £17m in Jan, too out of character for our business model! So so quiet as well, normally there are the odd rumours at least

Guess there will be a fair few new viewers for the U21 match against Liverpool tonight!

Good point! If he isn't willing to help their development, he may need to alter his mentality if he wants to remain manager. It is such an important piece of the fabric of our club, discarding all responsibility will not go down well! Conversely, if he plays a major role from now on and provides the spark needed to get them to Prem level, his own standing would be majorly enhanced! Guess we will find out shortly

post of the year! Keep posting fella

Charlie Austin, not sure anyone has mentioned him lol!! Pay the wages and get it sorted

Get Gaston off the books and offset his wages! Whoever arrives will have to fit into our wage structure though
