adrian lord Posted 29 April, 2015 Author Posted 29 April, 2015 Got to laugh at the Rodgers Run-in Implosion yet again this year.
rallyboy Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Has Rodgers spotted that 4th has gone and is now launching a desperate charge back down the table in an effort to escape the Europa League? It might not suit him but we'll have a crack at it for a bit.
angelman Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Their specialist strikers (Daniel Sturridge, Mario Balotelli, Rickie Lambert and Fabio Borini) have scored eight Premier League goals between them this season. Everton's back four (Leighton Baines, Seamus Coleman, Phil Jagielka and John Stones) have scored nine. Now some like to criticise Pellè, but this might be interesting for perspective.
Crazy Diamond Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Now some like to criticise Pellè, but this might be interesting for perspective. I'm pleased to say that I'm moving my season ticket away from the bloke who sits behind me and has booed Pelle for not scoring enough goals. What a mong.
max_saints Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 My dream scenario for a perfect end to the campaign: Saints to finish above Tottenham and Liverpool Villa to win the FA cup (ensuring a trophy less season for the defectors) Liverpool to finish 7th (denying the super ambitious Lovren and Lallana of European football, oh the irony)
angelman Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 I'm in 2 minds about Liverpool and the Europa. They will want to sign players who want to play CL not EL They whinge like hell that EL ruins their chances to win PL 7th will mean 3rd qualification round played on 30th July and 6th August. They are planning a pre-season tour in Australia, and possibly Macau/China and Malaysia/Indonesia and this is likely to bugger that up. Of course if they did finish 7th and Villa win, there is of course the irony as mentioned above.

Of course if they did finish 7th and Villa win, there is of course the irony as mentioned above. Some of those scenarios are the cherry on top. The cake is the fact that they completely ****ed up spending £120m, have missed out on the Champions League (barring a miracle), one of their best ever players prefers to play in the US than stay on, their next best player can't stay fit for more than 2mins, and their utter gob****e of a Manager is coming off like a complete clown. Absolutely hilarious.
angelman Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 I'm not convinced Brenda will be in charge at the beginning of next season.
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 In fairness I've just seem that Balotelli managed 22 touches during his time on the pitch http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32508296 Yes but most of those were shoves into the chests of the opposition.
CityRanger Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 I'm pleased to say that I'm moving my season ticket away from the bloke who sits behind me and has booed Pelle for not scoring enough goals. What a mong. It's futile. They are everywhere in that stadium. Like rats, you're never more than two metres away from a dinlo at St Mary's I'm afraid.

I'm hoping to get less dinlos per square inch where I'm moving to. I've got a right bunch of them where I am at the moment.
rallyboy Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 CR is correct, you are within two metres of an idiot in every football ground in the world. And occasionally it might even be yourself. The clever bit of stupidity is not to vocalise it. With the internet, disguising it has become a lost art.

adrian lord Posted 29 April, 2015 Author Posted 29 April, 2015 To summarise the plight of the defectors a season on: Ricky - career petering out in obscurity. Lallana and Lovren: careers well and truly derailed and little short of wrecked.

I hope they both have to be in it for that reason. Petty? Me? Nah, never.
S-Clarke Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 To summarise the plight of the defectors a season on: Ricky - career petering out in obscurity. Lallana and Lovren: careers well and truly derailed and little short of wrecked. I really, really feel sorry for Rickie. I genuinely think he went there with the confidence that he could add something, and why wouldn't he think that. I didn't begrudge him his move as it's a proper story, but how Rogers has used and treated him is nothing short of a total disgrace. He hasn't got a clue how to utilize him. He's sat on the bench every single game, whilst Balotelli tries to imitate a footballer and occasionally they don't actually play with a striker - it's so harsh on the lad, he could have offered a lot if he was used correctly. It just seems that the only times he'll get on is when they are chasing a game in the closing stages, with the single tactical genius idea of ''HIT IT LONG''. His game is so much more than that, and after this season I don't know if he's ever going to be the same Rickie we knew ever again. Well done Rogers, you incompetent baffon.
derry Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Lambert has gone from being the focal point that the players looked to play to and play off to a spectator watching the nippy egos running in circles and nobody looking to play to or off him. I'm afraid he doubled his money but stalled his career. Lallana and Lovren have gone backwards.

simo Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Yeah, Liverpool and Spurs both want to not be in the EL. I hope they both have to be in it for that reason. Petty? Me? Nah, never. They were saying on talksport that spurs fans were saying they don't want Europa league , The ultimate irony would be Arsenal winning the Fa Cup to send them there!
SuperSAINT Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Really says something for Liverpool's recruitment when they have 3 strikers that Rodgers has signed that they probably want to ship out already.
whelk Posted 29 April, 2015 Posted 29 April, 2015 Really says something for Liverpool's recruitment when they have 3 strikers that Rodgers has signed that they probably want to ship out already. Got to question the manager when Lallana, Lambert, Balotelli and Markovic all fail to perform anywhere near like they can. Can't all become bad players so soon.

Can't all become bad players so soon. Something else they were saying (pundits and fans alike) Lambert should start and Ballotelli brought on as sub also said lambert played in a pretty dynamic Southampton team last season so Rogers can't use his mobility as an excuse for not using him
rooney Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 The DT today comments that Liverpool will ship out Lambert and Ballotelli with a few others at the end of the season. The move seems to have been a tradgedy for Rickie.
SuperSAINT Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 The DT today comments that Liverpool will ship out Lambert and Ballotelli with a few others at the end of the season. The move seems to have been a tradgedy for Rickie. He'll have no shortage of takers for him though which is a good thing.
a1ex2001 Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Really says something for Liverpool's recruitment when they have 3 strikers that Rodgers has signed that they probably want to ship out already. With a fourth so injury prone he is making Darren Anderton look like a consistent performer, the Sturridge situation is reminding me more and more of the end of Pahars career where he just had a succession of niggles that never allowed him to play enough to get fit.
Saint_clark Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 He'll have no shortage of takers for him though which is a good thing. After the season he's just had and at 33 years old i think there will be, unless he's willing to take a big pay cut or drop a league.

The move seems to have been a tradgedy for Rickie. Wonder were Rickie will end up Palace with Pardew? maybe Bournemouth? I reckon he could still offer something in the PL if he had regular game time and got some confidence back.
Wrensup Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 After the season he's just had and at 33 years old i think there will be, unless he's willing to take a big pay cut or drop a league. Can't see him moving back down South seeing as part of the reason for moving was to go back home/family. So it'll be a championship club from that area OR if he really does want to stay in the premier league its Palace? Stoke maybe? Maybe?
doddisalegend Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 After the season he's just had and at 33 years old i think there will be, unless he's willing to take a big pay cut or drop a league. On the other hand if no one is interested he can just sit on (I suspect) a decent Liverpool contract.

Maybe a loan move to help Tranmere back into the football league................

So ... the 64,000 dollar question .... would you get him back here and get him firing again? Or do you all think he's a busted flush now?
warsash saint Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 The DT today comments that Liverpool will ship out Lambert and Ballotelli with a few others at the end of the season. The move seems to have been a tradgedy for Rickie. I am sure at this time in his career, his bank balance is not a tradegy!
sadoldgit Posted 1 May, 2015 Posted 1 May, 2015 Apparently Manure are lining up a £100m bid for Bale. Quality player. But £100m? Really?
Twiggy Posted 1 May, 2015 Posted 1 May, 2015 Apparently Manure are lining up a £100m bid for Bale. Quality player. But £100m? Really? We get some more money from that again... I think...
Saint_Ash Posted 1 May, 2015 Posted 1 May, 2015 We get some more money from that again... I think... Not sure about that, our contract was with Spurs not Madrid.
Twiggy Posted 1 May, 2015 Posted 1 May, 2015 Not sure about that, our contract was with Spurs not Madrid. I thought it was because we trained him when he was younger? Which was the reason we got money from Spurs in the first place. Could be completely wrong though.
Saint86 Posted 1 May, 2015 Posted 1 May, 2015 Not sure about that, our contract was with Spurs not Madrid. If Spurs have a sell on, then we get a proportion of it as that is profit on their original purchase from saints?
pap Posted 1 May, 2015 Posted 1 May, 2015 We get some more money from that again... I think... Will we? I was under the impression Lowe cashed that clause in when we were in the mire.
IOWSaintDaz Posted 1 May, 2015 Posted 1 May, 2015 Will we? I was under the impression Lowe cashed that clause in when we were in the mire. He did we got Tommy Forcast plus a modest cash sum for Bale
Donatello Posted 1 May, 2015 Posted 1 May, 2015 I thought it was because we trained him when he was younger? Which was the reason we got money from Spurs in the first place. Could be completely wrong though. There is definitely some substance to this. MLG will clear it up shortly, no doubt.
whelk Posted 3 May, 2015 Posted 3 May, 2015 Jack Cork made 7 interceptions yesterday, more than any player in the Premier League this weekend. http://t.co/yWL8Ec8SMu
Red Posted 3 May, 2015 Posted 3 May, 2015 Jack Cork made 7 interceptions yesterday, more than any player in the Premier League this weekend. http://t.co/yWL8Ec8SMu ...and ?? Or are you suggesting we should have forced him to sign the really good contract we offered him, and which he turned down in preference for playing for Swansea? BTW, he might have had a good game yesterday but has hardly been the shinning star at the Swans!

Thanks for getting excitable though.

Being excitable is all part of being a footy fan and particularly a Saints fan. Would have loved to have kept JC but his choice to leave - think we tried all we could to keep him. Batman - how do you propose we could have kept him against his wishes and without a new contract?

Offered him a new deal much earlier than we did!
