Ah well, forget about that one then.....

They may be following his progress with interest, but they are not usually ones to go for Championship players until they've proven they can cut it in the PL too...and that's where we come in! So long as we can fight off Everton/Crystal Palace/West Ham etc. Those clubs have been willing to pay higher wages, but also pay a higher fee to the club which makes our life difficult. I'd say theres quite a few other clubs that would pay more than us in both aspects now too....including our little friends down the road Bournemouth.

Now Obafemi is fit, maybe he will be given a run in the first team between Danny’s regular visits to the medical room.
He isn’t tried at this level but I would rather see him up front than Shane as we don’t know whether he can score at EPL level but we know Shane can’t

I think we might well see him given his chance, over Long, simply because of a comment Ralph made earlier in the season, after Long had replaced Obafemi.
Can’t recall the exact words, but they were along the lines of Long’s off the ball movement not being as effective as that of Obafemi, and not what he was looking for.

P.s. Isn't this long break between games boring...not looking forward to a possible 3 week break. Might be different if we weren't in the relegation zone, but I just want the season to move on quickly until we are out of it again.

That MLT goals was one of those (sadly) infrequent times at a football match when you go so mental that you actually don't know what to do. You hug and kiss everyone and make the weirdest of noises :)
 
Watching videos of that game gives me goosebumps...and I wasn't into football or Saints at the time it happened.

Barely good enough 3 years ago? He was voted Player of the Season! (Yes, okay it was the Daily Echo, granted)

Long proved then that he will play better with quality around him. Comparing him to Ings is silly too. They are not competing for the striker position. Ings is undoubtedly our first choice, but he can't stay fit. Hence why Long plays. Or are we supposed to have £30 million-rated, 20 goal-a-season strikers in our reserves waiting to jump in at a moment's notice?

I recognise that he is crap - we all do. But to keep banging on about it as though nobody has noticed is just tiring.

That said, I will continue to make jokes about him.

Im not quite sure what youre trying to say mate.

You seem to say you know he isnt good, will continue to make jokes about him but are a little irked when people mention his lack of ability.

I get youre sticking up for him, but even 3 years ago I thought he wasnt good enough and that was possibly his peak.

Anyhow - we can agree to disagree or you can relent and hail to me as I am clearly and always correct <laugh>

And now I am hoping Mrs Vegas doesnt read this :emoticon-0146-punch
 
I love Rickie. But Matty absolutely made my supporting of the Saints throughout the 90's the most exceptional fantasy ride. Easy to say that without he, it would have been a totally different experience. So when I say Lambert isn't in the same league as him, its no discredit. No one was in the same bracket as Le Tissier, and I'll go as far to say no one ever will be.

Making jokes is always a good thing, especially when it comes to Saints. As long as they are original and witty.

It's more just the random digs aimed Long's way, usually when the discussion is not even about him. It's become an obsession for some people on here to slate him on a daily basis.

Anyway, as you wish I will relent and indeed, hail you in your infallibility. You swine! :emoticon-0137-clapp

Whose doing the matchday thread? We need something to talk about! Seems like an eternity since we last played.
