If you are referring to Champions League medal within 5 years, Cortese has had to refine his 5 year plan after we were promoted so quickly. Who are we mere mortals to question the Don! There is also the rumour that he is fed up with being second and won't accept it for a third year
We just need a few more signings to get the rest of the team up to the standard of our forwards. Apart from vague rumours, have we been seriously linked to any other player?
Butland is the only rumour I trust (not that it'll happen, but that we're trying to make it happen) purely through how widely reported it is.
Well I would get out my compass and anything in the direction in which the little arrow points would be north. What I have noticed is that people from oop North who come darn souf usually don't go back but constantly go on about how great it is up there.
The same way that people like Sean Connery bang on about how they love Scotland...just not enough to live there.
We had a chance to move back up North with a job change; my wife, who is from Wigan, said "No" as she likesn it down south ..... I wasn't brave enough to tell her we don't live down south but in the Midlands, or better known as the Southern end of the Northlands.
How true is that.......My own Family are always saying the same thing about Scotland. (I was the only one borne in England)......Yet where have they buggered off to.....Australia the whole bloody lot of them. Yet they still tell me how they used to love living in Scotland! (Not to mention why don't I/we go and live over there too!)
I just remember going to Scotland mid-September and finding snow on the ground and having to sleep in my overcoat (and still freezing) because central heating wasn't due to go on until the end of October. Southern softies are just the sensible ones.
Nonsense. I'm surrounded by people from "darn souf" who wouldn't go back for a lottery win. It works both ways, mate
I used to live in Soton, but now live back in Aberdeen. You didn`t answer my question Godders, you merely made a sarcastic response - where does North start and South end ? And patronising people from `oop North` (Yorkshire, Lancashire ????) isn`t clever.

Quite right Lambo - Aberdeen is a cosmopolitan community (my next door neighbour is a Scouser), and we have thousands of English people who now call it home - and welcome they are too !
I am a home counties boy and when they went shopping my family went to London, if they went to the theatre they went to London and I do that only rarely now and miss it to be honest. I know live in Southampton and have done so for over 40 years and I love the place but I am still nostalgic for my roots and think I would love to return but I have new roots here in Hampshire where my children and grandchildren live and were born. I can therefore say I have roots in both places and love both places. As to where the north starts my answer was a serious one for I was reminded of the old joke: driver: "I say my man what is the best way to get to St Albans?" local: "Well I wouldn't start from here mate." North is relative as is south. Aberdeen you will note that I was as equally patronising with my use of "darn souf". For you I am sure you consider Newcastle to be in the south whilst for me it is in the north and that was the whole point of my answer. As far as I am concerned if people want to live north of Winchester and therefore end up freezing to death for 11 months of the year then good luck to them. I like living where I do for the forest, the beaches, the transport links (especially ferries to France), the Saints, my family, the parks etc. The one thing I do miss is the theatre and the concerts but I travel around for that to Winchester, Guildford, Salisbury and of course London occassionally. I am sure we can all find advantages for living where we do.
