I do hope your chins ok, as those knee jerks can hurt. I do agree Burnley have a better manager though.

the myth that a player who has come up from the youth system is a die hard Saint is a nonsense. JWP has it seems pushed for a move, as all of a sudden we have dropped our demands. That's fine as JWP whilst a brilliant free kick taker has IMO broken up more of our attacks than the opposition defence as he too often passes the ball in a negative manner. If he does well at WHU where the fans dont have the 'he's one of our own' tag then I will be happy to say I was wrong. Replace him with a progressive forward thinking midfielder who breaks into the box often not now and again and we've had a great deal. Thank you JWP but time is right for all parties

Frank Saul?

A bit concerned with the extra minutes at the end. Rarely could we hold out with 3 minutes let alone 7-8 or 9. Also the refs are poor and whilst many are pleased no VAR it will haunt us at times

Didnt we once on Saintsforever make something up and see when it hit the media??

Just found an image of the secret circle, which one is Turks?

How do you get into this circle? I assume you have to know Turks, so basically its a group of his mates who then speculate wildly like they do down the pub. All due respect to Turks but can anyone tell me any info he has brought to the table that wasnt out there already?? I hope to be proved wrong. I'm probably sore as he hasn't asked me to join

Burnley will be successful only if they manage to keep hold of their manager. I suggest that when he goes they will plummet. I didnt see much of Tella last season and so cant judge if he is a star for the PL or not

He was foolish enough to believe that he would be allowed to leave all on Levy's word. He also signed a 6 year contract, yes probably on decent terms but still not putting in a release clause was another mistake. A proper agent would have been more of a match and Kane may well have won things. Not that is everything, aka MLT. It does seem to be the measure that you are judged by what you have won.

the problem of using your brother (?) to be your agent. He was stitched and naive imo

When I had a good source of info I always had to make sure that it was ok to share a bit. That was under RL and NC. Both did not look kindly on leaks and rightly so. It is a business after all

To be fair, Ive had run in with Duncan, I think this was language of a fan

Weren't Jwp and Lavia there to do the defensive midfield job? So how many defensive midfielders should we have to help the defence? It is all hypothetical as neither will be here IMO. Still need some grit in the centre to break up attacks. You obviously see a different midfield to me, a midfield that couldnt hold any team we played and constantly overrun. Anyway hopefully RMsees the issue and can address it, we all will be happy with that.

So where were we going to find another Lavia who was supposed to help screen the defence? I can hardly remember a game where we controlled midfield. If you believe that 2 inexperienced midfielders will control midfield in the tough tackling Championship, boy youre in for one hell of a surprise.

Well for one Romeu was there to add bite and would give a dig to a player, and secondly it wouldn't have matted at all if Carr didnt play again that season. Although it would be a 3 match ban I suspect. It would certainly pleased a lot of fans including me. Rather than limply walk past when you are being totally being disrespected. Hurlock, or Case would not have put up with it. Sometimes a bit of guts and aggression is called for

Yep, but

Romeu would have have something to say about that I suggest. Hurlock , Jimmy Case type figures protected the wonderful youth we had coming through with MLT Shearer and the Wallaces. You need a mix of quality and some steel. I agree though that some of our older players do not hve the mentality. Not sure JWP puts fear into opposing players, and I still cant get over how Caleta Carr let that Newcastle disrespect him and our fans by just wlaking on and not lamping him. Im sure we would have al ot more respect had he done

As Hanson said you can't win the league with kids. We were bullied last season, let alone in the Championship where the players are more physical and the refs of a low standard. Im all for having young players in the team but we also need some minders

thats him, I couldn't recall his name, thanks

Who has the PL record of assists in consecutive home games (6 if I recall correctly) JWP ?, Stu? or any of the darlings of the fanbase.

Didnt that bloke who came from Man City and buggered off to Chelsea in weeks bring Lavia to us? If so he still may have contact with him

Does the book tell us what country Liverpool is in

Crikey, we are not good at making players feel welcome. He has played and done well in the Championship, I reckon he could be one of our mainstays as the season goes on

Why, is he a thieving twat then, any club apart for them IMo Iam surprised how little reaction to Sulimana leaving there has been! Imo he will turn out to be one hell of a player

I avoid anything Portsmouth. I hear from many people who have visited both recently and they all have said that Portsmouth is a decent place to visit whilst Southampton is a dump. It saddens me to say this. No doubt this is due to Gun Wharf (never been there) and Southsea but if having West Quay and a large Ikea trumps that, I doubt
