Ohio Saint Posted 2 September, 2014 Share Posted 2 September, 2014 (edited) I take it the result is being sat upon said mantle piece. If it's standing then that is super human. dammit! I had always thought they meant standing, so completely dismissed it as nonsense. Sitting? Now it's just dull, and makes him the kind of prat that I want to punch.

Lazlo78 Posted 2 September, 2014 Share Posted 2 September, 2014 Whilst I agree that AL is worthy of a place, perhaps one criteria could be that they have completed their playing carreer and are therfore judged on their whole career. If AL or any other current player did somthing that upset the fans there would be a clamour to remove them. Legends are in the past not the present wait until the whole story has palyed out.

The9 Posted 3 September, 2014 Share Posted 3 September, 2014 Gareth Bale should be shoe-horned in, preferably a really jug-eared 12-year old version of him. Maybe hugging Theo Walcott. And why tf isn't Calum Chambers up there, went on to become Arsenal's 3rd most expensive signing ever in the history of everything? Oh, and Dale Stephens.

Bensfcno1 Posted 3 September, 2014 Share Posted 3 September, 2014 Not exactly relevant as the OP was being positive towards Lallana, but didn't want to make a new thread.

VectisSaint Posted 3 September, 2014 Share Posted 3 September, 2014 Nick Holmes is a good call, one club man ever reliable, should have got a chance with England, I will never forget him scoring from near the halfway line v Watford in the cup, and his sweet half volley past Shilton at Wembley, get the man on the banner! Holmesy was not a one-club player, you are ignoring his time spent with East Cowes Vics. Disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CylonKing Posted 9 September, 2014 Share Posted 9 September, 2014 Mopo got our best ever PL finish Actually MoPo equalled our best ever finish if standings in the table are the only criteria. WGS also got us to 8th in the table in the 2002/03 season with a final day 0-1 win at Maine Road against Man City. Killer scoring the only goal which lifted us up about 3 places in what was the final competitive game at Maine Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer scoring the only goal which lifted us up about 3 places in what was the final competitive game at Maine Road. Which begs the question: "why are none of the 2002/3 side up there?".

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 9 September, 2014 Share Posted 9 September, 2014 Personally, I think Nick Holmes deserves a space up on the banner. FA Cup winner with Southampton, a one club man (in terms of League football) and a damn fine representative for the Saints (unless there's something I've missed?).

One good premier league season for us, he's up there with Beattie then. If it is on footballing talent then Bale should be up there. If it's for lower league goals then Lee Barnard is also a contender. I'm taking this to the logical extreme but in no way shape or form does Adam deserve to be up there especially not after the way he forced a move and not amongst such great company.
