Probably not even that, some people seem to get FM2014 or whatever it is and reality all intertangled. I believe that their are even cure centres for FM addiction, well I expect they do other video games as well.

One of my uni friends ended up splitting up with his bird (Miss Cardiff 2006) because of his FM addiction. She asked him to choose and he chose FM. Went completely awol for 3 years. Was actually a pretty **** time. He's better now mind.

We all remember David James and Tomb Raider, first well known video game addict.
Convict Colony Posted 31 July, 2014 Posted 31 July, 2014 @GraemeBailey: Southampton making a real push for Marcos Rojo, but a lot of interest from other Premier League clubs. Graeme Bailey just tweeted it
S-Clarke Posted 31 July, 2014 Author Posted 31 July, 2014 A bit more substance than a random tweet from a teenager. @GraemeBailey Southampton making a real push for Marcos Rojo, but a lot of interest from other Premier League clubs.

Sounds like another Ramirez/Osvaldo fiasco where its on and off a million times whilst he waits for concrete interest from a bigger team.

jjsaint Posted 31 July, 2014 Posted 31 July, 2014 Hmmmm. Out = Defender who wet his lacy panties trying to keep up with a very average Brazil side. In = World Cup finalist

Greenridge Posted 31 July, 2014 Posted 31 July, 2014 From Tuesday: @SkySportsAmy: Sources: Southampton hoping to bring in a keeper, defender and a forward by the end of this week with a focus on young English talent Did Ralph confirm we would make (these) signings in his interviews on Tuesday?

Sky did alter that statement shortly after to ''Young talent'.

kazza Posted 31 July, 2014 Posted 31 July, 2014 S-Clarke are you still confident a signing is happening today???
S-Clarke Posted 31 July, 2014 Author Posted 31 July, 2014 Who knows, I was just told to expect a signing today. But who knows with football, not going to stick my balls on the line with it!
Danish Saint Posted 31 July, 2014 Posted 31 July, 2014 Robbie Smith @BoySmithyy 1m Decent!! Rojo is at our training complex, deal is practically done! HAVE IT #SaintsFC
SuperSAINT Posted 31 July, 2014 Posted 31 July, 2014 kazza said: S-Clarke are you still confident a signing is happening today??? Regardless of a signing, we'll definitely be getting an update from Koeman after the game which will be interesting to hear the latest.

Greenridge Posted 31 July, 2014 Posted 31 July, 2014 S-Clarke said: It was altered on their breaking news strap on the TV yesterday . On the basis they took the emphasis off 'English' that still leaves us with a 'keeper and forward which again would suggest not Rojo. Be interesting if we do see two players arrive tomorrow / end of the week.

Or going down the pub and repeating whatever you'd heard in a day to all and sundry who in turn repeated it to everyone else they knew. Can't see the difference myself.

Similar for sure, but think of it as a means to express that first thought that comes to your mind where your subconscious normally says "woah, you'll get in trouble for that one", thus keeping you from saying it. Where in the past you'd relay that mildly racist joke to your friend in confidence, with Twitter it now gets spread across the interwebs for all of time to remember.
Batman Posted 31 July, 2014 Posted 31 July, 2014 I think Rojo will be this years Damieo or Astori the one we talk about so much yet does not happen, sadly

Twitter does contain millions of randoms spouting rubbish, but it also contains the actual people in question and journalists with good contacts. If you filter it correctly its far better than a "block down the pub told me... XYZ".

Cestrian Saint Posted 31 July, 2014 Posted 31 July, 2014 Rojo has been spoken to. My source tells me he doesn't think he'll be coming. Too much interest from elsewhere and feels we'll be priced out of a deal as others will offer far higher wages. Interesting to see De Vrij say that Utd were never in for him but other clubs were but he wouldn't name them. I'm reliably informed we were one of them. Again, our offer was no where near what others were offering.
