Adam Lallana

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Danny Wallace and Steve Moran are somewhere on that list for me. MLT definitely (although he has had a few moments of being struck off due to his off field madness). SRL also has to be there. Lalllana for me hovers about the top 10, but his twatness keeps him outside. Controversial, but I feel the same for Fonte but less so. Maya & Benali are also there or thereabouts for me. Oh and Long. Maybe I'll do a top 5 by era!

I was thinking of doing fave player from every country, haha.

Wanyama is definitely my favourite Kenyan who played for Saints!

For a top 5, the most recent players who would get in mine would be Sir Ricky Lambert and MLT.
Mick Channon and Alan Ball would be in it, but I’m not sure who would be the last pick, when I grew up watching the likes of Ron Davies, Steve Williams, Kevin Keegan, David Armstrong (often overlooked but scored **** loads from midfield), Steve Moran, Danny Wallace, Mark Wright, Peter Shilton and others I can’t currently remember because I am old.
If pushed I would go with Big Ron. 37 goals in 41 games, in his first season with us and in our first season in Division 1, is special.

I'd like to imagine AI internalising my posts on here, then having to sit in the corner for a while, digitally self harming.

You could break AI. If anyone can, it's you. Go on, give it a try....

 

[Archers Road]

Actually that is a great way to describe him. Shane Long in defence.

Except not as good, but even more committed

Might be easier to pick an all-time worst XI?

They played a grand total of 0 first team games between them!

Neil McCann would definitely be in my worst team.

I dunno, I’d imagine a 1 year old would be pretty ****ed

Yep.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Ibrahim Diallo too.

2024/25 season?

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

2024/25 season?

There were more players from 22/23 that I couldn’t stand.

The 24/25 lot I just felt sympathetic towards really. Led by donkeys.

Yeah s combination of the worst elements of the two would be truly bad. I think my 5 least favourites would be something like:

Aribo
Aribo
Aribo

Maintland Niles

5 is easier than 10 though. If Channon, LeTiss and Lambert are shoo-ins that only leaves two slots; for Tadic and Niemi, imo.

 

[Saintemarie]

Your top 5 being … ?

Magnum
Fab
Solero
Twister
Calippo.

The off-topicality of this thread is reaching spectacular proportions!

Keep it up guys!

There are two ice cream parlours next to each other across the canal from us. One does adult, a pornstar martini and another which suits being in the same cone, Mrs Jab a regular customer.
