    Why don't you guys just buy our club outright and move Klott down here. It will save a lot of heartbreak on your part, he will at last get his hands on all of our players and you can all go back to thieving hub caps again.

    In previous discussions I may have mentioned one of the very few occasions when I have had a bet on football. I'm not a betting man. One of those rare occasions was when I put a fiver on David Prutton to be first goal scorer against Liverpool in 2005 at 33-1

    Here's the match report. Check out the description for the first goal.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/4177037.stm

    "Mauricio Pellegrino was caught in possession in his own penalty area by Prutton, who took a return pass from Crouch before drilling his shot under Dudek"

    Thank you Mauricio. I knew there was something about you I liked :)

    They're after Oxlade Chamberlain too. They really do want to be Saints.

    That'd be a good move for Chamberpot I think. Going to Arsenal has stalled him, he needs to get his career back on track. He could be one the greats, or he could go backwards. Now is the time, and much as it would pain me to see him line up for Liverpool, it pains me even more to see his talent criminally under utilised.

    He could be ten times the player Lallana will ever be. And I'm not knocking Lallana (as a player).

    The increase in alloy wheels over the years has left thousands unemployed, bicycles were a stop gap but not worth the effort. The increase in the transfer market came with a lack of jobs we thought that watching our club rob others would fill the void. It's all gone wrong though with you ****ers robbing us blind for years now, with the new manager in there it should now become an easier hunting ground.

    I'm not a fan, I hope this one is made up nonsense.

    Yeah, strange thing that. There's a Liverpool fan I work with who says the same. So much for scousers being connoisseurs of the beautiful game.

    Trust me, if you had seen what we have seen, you'd want him. You don't ****ing deserve him, but if he goes to you, then within 2 years you will be raving about him.

    Youngsters would do well not to get lured away too early....great for their bank balance, but rarely for their football. The number of times you hear media 'experts' saying that player X is too good and needs to move to Spurs/Liverpool (whoever) when they really aren't ready. Shaw is a perfect example of that...he wasn't mentally mature enough to cope with the demands of United. A football career is a marathon not a sprint.

    From what I've seen his decision making is poor, he keeps his head down too often and makes the wrong runs and doesn't pass when he should. There's talent there, he's strong and fast and has good ball skills but I'm unsure on him so don't want to pay the overinflated price for and English player who may not be good enough.

    His last goal for England was a good example, everything about it was wrong but hey it ended up in the back of the net.

    Classic Chamberpot, that England goal. I was shouting "give it, give it, argh too late you selfish...oh!!"

    He just needs playing time. In terms of natural ability, he's got the lot. And he has a brain, so he can learn.

    What is it with us and managers with names beginning with 'P'. Pardew, Pochettino, Puel and Pellegrino....is the Black Box jammed?
