Glad you didn't change anything. Totally echos my thoughts!

I expected the usual comments of people saying 'you should support the club and not the players' etc. Of course I do. It seems that a lot of people agree with me though and it is a shame. As you say, this is the trajectory that football has been on for years. In terms of loyalty from youth...

Yes you're right, it is down to the players but this is the football environment now. I think that the club need to accept this and possibly adjust the wage structure. I'm not sure that we can continue to challenge for the top 6 when paying bottom 6 wages (I remember seeing a table where we were...

Firstly, I want to make it known that I am aware I will likely get shot down for this thread. It is something I have thought about for a while and is irrespective of on the pitch results. People may say I'm a bed wetter and not a loyal fan etc etc. However, this is a forum intended for...

Is anyone else surprised by the lack of playing time for Juanmi at the moment? We currently look woeful going forward and his pace and spark could be what we need? He looked good whenever I saw him for Malaga last season and I was surprised we managed to sign him for such a low price. As much...

I can't believe that people are calling for us to exit the Europa League to focus on the Premier League? Didn't we focus on the Premier League last year to get Europa?

To be fair, Barca still pay a couple of million to Unicef every year to have their logo on the back of their shirts. Think they get around £40m from Qatar Airways so you cant blame them. I think we should be trying to get a deal of at least circa £5m per year. Not a huge amount in football...

It is admirable that Saints wish to support local companies such as AAP3 and Veho but football is a ruthless business. West Ham, Villa & Sunderland are earning 5 times more than us for their sponsors. We need to take advantage of the success we have enjoyed on the pitch and cash in on a big...

Kelvin will be celebrating 10 years at the club next summer. Perhaps this could be his testimonial?

I haven't been this excited since the JPT Final! :emoticon-0137-clapp

Mario Suarez and Praet aren't similar players so can't really compare. Suarez is primarly a defensive midfielder while Praet is more of a #10. Perhaps we are in for both?

We've agreed a fee of circa £17.7m for Toby, he has agreed to become our highest earner on £60,000 a week + bonuses and is flying in this afternoon at 15:25 for a medical? (Does he need a medical?!)

Such as?

I'm hoping for Sevilla (or Villarreal) in our Europa League group (we will get there, wont we?). About the best you can hope for in the EL and would be a cracking away day! Knowing our luck though we will end up in a group with HJK, Metalist Kharkiv and Astra Giurgui.

I love it when they call me big Papa
