Rickie Lambert is one of the greatest players to play for the club. He is a mighty leader, a powerful scorer. He lacks pace but his goal-scoring ability and remarkable penalty-taking makes up for these things. He is a true Saint.

According to wikipedia, Chivers only scored a meagre 96, so he's not one of the nine.

They're anchored to the bottom. Be lovely to see them kick start their season.

Im not sure if any fans who will now boycott home games will still go to the occasional away game but it will be interesting to see how many travel.

Ricky, like Le Tiss, is not blessed with speed and relies on his positional sense and physique.
He isn't going to lose those.
The experience he is gaining in the Prem is making him a better player.
The same goes for Jrod.
He is going to get better.
Most of the players who are playing regularly now have stepped up and shown their ability.
New signings will need to be better than what we have. That will make them expensive!
At the end of this season there will be squad players moving on, end of contract moving on.
Everyone thinks Punch should get a new contract, if he isn't being offered one then Who have they got in mind to replace him?
Exciting times to be a Saints fan.

I rest my case to the England Manager

I'm going with Seed (it would appear he's sacked his chauffer and is grooming me for the job).

Am awaiting pub suggestions for before the match, and will be sampling the delights of the manc curry mile by night!

Good Morning three halves, are you one of the fans stating they will boycott games because of the sacking of N.A ??.
Not trying to have a dig at you but,what will happen if our club moves on with the new team in charge. What will your views be if the new man can attract world class players to our club?. Will you if you are one of the few that boycott games, return if things turn out better than before ? If so why not be on the bus from the start??. I see no sense in not going to home games and being a part of the club, but go to away games and support the club, what will this prove?.
Don't get me wrong i was very much against this change but , when you calm down and think about it can you name one person that is bigger than SFC ?
In all walks of life people get moved on ,some deserve it , some don't. Our NIGEL worked wonders for us fans and i believe all our feelings towards each other were mutaul. But N A was not the club we all support, only a very important part. Get back on the bus, it always looks better full than when there are one or two seats empty.
Rickie will go on to be one of the highest goal scorers for club , top three material. SAINTS TIL I DIE, home and away.

Confucious wrote:
Great quote from Rickie in the sports section of this month's Mathematics Journal....

"A hundred goals for Saints would be great. After all, 100 is the sum of the first nine prime numbers and the sum of the first ten odd numbers. But more than that the fans would like to see me get a goal total equal to 1+8+27+64 - the sum of the first four cube numbers!"

"Also I remember my missus saying when I joined Saints that she'd love to see me score 100 because that is the molecular weight of calcium carbonate."

Top bloke - top magazine!

He's just a fat lardy Lambert who is the top English goalscorer in the Premiership (remember what that is?) having won the golden boot in L1 and the Championship playing for us. Which bit matters more? Which do you think interests us the most, his lardiness or his skill? Hmmm...I wonder.

He makes comments framed as though he's a Saints' supporter but once everyone's twigged him and realises he's just winding people up, he descends into vile language and abuse, gets banned and comes back under a new identity. He's rather a sad character as we're his only friends. And we all think he's a twit.

i think he is best player we have had since le tis i also think he has a number of years of prem football in front of him yet and should be called up for england but NC does not give a fcuk about any of that and will replace him with a very expensive kid,

the money we are spending needs to be balanced with both stadium capacity and the value of players we have to move on. if you are in the market for 10 mill players how do we pay for them whilst we wait for the NC/MP project to supply quility youth to our first team.

Have a goodun Mush....I might blow the froth off a few meself to help you celebrate! :O)

Thanks Boys, It’s a very patriotic and fun day over here.
As for the Aussie beer, here’s a couple of facts.
Fosters from what I can see does not exist over here. I think it’s another export joke to a gullible POM market like Home and Away and Neighbours.
Victoria Bitter (VB) is in fact a lager, It has a nickname of Wife Beater. It’s like Stella Artois but not as classy.
The best Aussie Beers are from the pure waters of Tasmania like Boags and Cascade.

We’ve blown the froth off a few wets today, it would be Un-Australian not too.
Cheers.

You didn't mention the temperature, doesn't Aussie beer evaporate in the heat?

the picture i have of NC is of a very focused man who has set in motion a plan for SFC to be a top 4 club and play in the CL. To this end he will have no use for the guy who gets 15 PL goals at 30 other than a good profit when he is sold on.

What evidence are you basing your opinion on?

the money we are spending needs to be balanced with both stadium capacity and the value of players we have to move on. if you are in the market for 10 mill players how do we pay for them whilst we wait for the NC/MP project to supply quility youth to our first team.

Looks like you will have a chance to confirm your views, Nicola Cortese is being interviewed on Sky Sports News at 6 pm tomorrow if tweets are to be believed.

Jordan Sibley said on Twitter this morning that will be 2 BIG interviews tomorrow .

Hinted that one was with the Sun newspaper.

He didn't just hint , he stated that one was with the Sunday Sun and the other on Sky Sports News .

I’ve got Brighton vs Gunners on, 1-1 at the mo and a good cup tie.

Good Morning three halves, are you one of the fans stating they will boycott games because of the sacking of N.A ??.
Not trying to have a dig at you but,what will happen if our club moves on with the new team in charge. What will your views be if the new man can attract world class players to our club?. Will you if you are one of the few that boycott games, return if things turn out better than before ? If so why not be on the bus from the start??. I see no sense in not going to home games and being a part of the club, but go to away games and support the club, what will this prove?.
Don't get me wrong i was very much against this change but , when you calm down and think about it can you name one person that is bigger than SFC ?
In all walks of life people get moved on ,some deserve it , some don't. Our NIGEL worked wonders for us fans and i believe all our feelings towards each other were mutaul. But N A was not the club we all support, only a very important part. Get back on the bus, it always looks better full than when there are one or two seats empty.
Rickie will go on to be one of the highest goal scorers for club , top three material. SAINTS TIL I DIE, home and away.

Morning Bob. Yes i will boycott all home and away games from now on and wont be back whatever success the club may get under Cortese and i know that others will be doing the same.

Yes Mr sock poppet, not popular on The News site either are you.

I understand we can have up to 5000 for the first throw of the dice...I doubt if we will sell them all after last week.
First time ever to Wigan for a match - must make a good impression. Want at least 3000 in this 6-pointer to cheer them on. It's only £20 - best value game in The Premier League!
Don't shout as much as REDARMY1 - but a lot more bite then Kent141!!

Oh yeah! (Missed it on the Morgan thread).

If other professionals rate him and Adkins and Pottechino play him he can't be total rubbish. I reckon Guly more often than not plays well. Could do well under the new set up if fans give him a chance.

It seems that the days the team have had in Barcelona have been a great success. The pictures on the website show Lallana back training and I was impressed to see NC standing next to MP and the coaching start. Apparently he has been interpreting for the team and MP.

It will be interesting now to see how the team evolves I think MP will get the best out if each player and despite what I've said in the past I think we may all see both Ramirez and Guly come in to their own and shine. I really hope so.

I've a good feeling about this new manager. If I was a betting man I'd bet that we get a result either a win or draw against United on

#askgaston Gastón: Guly.

That was on friday , surprised me too ..... just goes to show how professional opinions can differ from the less informed .

Oh yeah! (Missed it on the Morgan thread).

If other professionals rate him and Adkins and Pottechino play him he can't be total rubbish. I reckon Guly more often than not plays well. Could do well under the new set up if fans give him a chance.

It seems that the days the team have had in Barcelona have been a great success. The pictures on the website show Lallana back training and I was impressed to see NC standing next to MP and the coaching start. Apparently he has been interpreting for the team and MP.

It will be interesting now to see how the team evolves I think MP will get the best out if each player and despite what I've said in the past I think we may all see both Ramirez and Guly come in to their own and shine. I really hope so.

I've a good feeling about this new manager. If I was a betting man I'd bet that we get a result either a win or draw against United on
Wednesday!!!!!!! N

You said "there is no money" , do you stand by that ?

Slugger I accepted what I said about there being no money was wrong and I apologised. I stand by that apology. It looks very positive!!!!!

You mean where should he boycott next?

He's NEVER been inside a football ground, so he's boycotted every single team in every league so far.

I agree. I'm sure there will probably be one or possibly two additional signings before the deadline. The interesting thing will be in what positions those signings will be. I think Shaw needs cover as its asking a lot for one so young to play every game at this level. Possibly another striker. Obviously midfield is being considered but we've good midfielders and I note JWP went to Barcelona. If midfielders are brought in who is left out?

Not knocking Guly or Steve De Ridder but behind Puncheon and Lallana we could do with strengthening.

This new Brazilian can play both flanks. We are weaker on the flank and up front when Gaston has to cover wide, as by far his best position is just behind Rickie.

I would not touch the Schiederlan Cork combination, but Ward Prowse and Davis provide adequate cover.

Though with a new manager there may be new opportunities for them I think the time may have come for Steeeeeeeve and Chaplow to find more opportunities elsewhere,

You're the second person to say that today about De Ridder and Chaplow. Do you think they featured in the team latterly to put them in th 'shop window' with a loan deal in mind? Just a thought.

If Lals is back it's surely a straight swap for Guly on the left, no?

I understand we can have up to 5000 for the first throw of the dice...I doubt if we will sell them all after last week.
First time ever to Wigan for a match - must make a good impression. Want at least 3000 in this 6-pointer to cheer them on. It's only £20 - best value game in The Premier League!
Don't shout as much as REDARMY1 - but a lot more bite then Kent141!!

Alas, we're not going to Wigan. We'll be over for Newcastle, though. Everything booked bar the match tickets, but they're in hand.

At least I'll be able to abuse all the Toon players in their own language :)

Likewise - I'm going to be in York on Saturday, then Toon Sunday. My train hits Newcastle around 11am , been a while since my last visit...

50% isn't bad for a small, struggling Division 1 team and I don't want to knock it, but it was a relegation six-pointer, so that probably added a couple of thousand to the attendance.

the fa may wait till later for the 10 point deduction looks like there finish bottom anyway .there the worse side in league one .so if they finish the season .then enforce it league 2 ,as they have been in admin more than a year ,it is a possible fairer outcome

Yes that must be right. So Guly on the bench. On the basis that Spider, Cork and Gaston start, JWP and Davis on bench as other midfielders?

Yep. When everyone's fit the first eleven more or less picks itself. The only question mark for me will be who starts at centre back. My money's on Heggem and Yoshida, although Jos has been pretty decent of late. Whoever it is they need to give RVP a massive kick in the first minute and hope no one sees.

I think you're right. I agree about Fonte. He had a bit of a rocky start to the season but has grown IMO to be a solid consistent defender. Surely though having this quality allows rotation?

Only question is whether Forren is fit or still feeling the impact of the Norwefian close season.. If he is I would partner him with Yoshida. Otherwise Jos and Yoshida have been playing well.

Good Morning three halves, are you one of the fans stating they will boycott games because of the sacking of N.A ??.
Not trying to have a dig at you but,what will happen if our club moves on with the new team in charge. What will your views be if the new man can attract world class players to our club?. Will you if you are one of the few that boycott games, return if things turn out better than before ? If so why not be on the bus from the start??. I see no sense in not going to home games and being a part of the club, but go to away games and support the club, what will this prove?.
Don't get me wrong i was very much against this change but , when you calm down and think about it can you name one person that is bigger than SFC ?
In all walks of life people get moved on ,some deserve it , some don't. Our NIGEL worked wonders for us fans and i believe all our feelings towards each other were mutaul. But N A was not the club we all support, only a very important part. Get back on the bus, it always looks better full than when there are one or two seats empty.
Rickie will go on to be one of the highest goal scorers for club , top three material. SAINTS TIL I DIE, home and away.

Morning Bob. Yes i will boycott all home and away games from now on and wont be back whatever success the club may get under Cortese and i know that others will be doing the same.

Yours and their loss in this exciting time for Saints......still Sh*tmuff are looking for deluded fans. Off you go.

Hey won't they start on -10 in the 4 th Division (Sounds better) if they go down in their own right ??? Without the influence of the 10 point deduction????

Didn't that happen to Saints in their first year in League 1 (Sounds better) .......

They get the -10 when they come out of Admin. Hopefully Birch can drag it on to the end of the season so we get the full benefit of the -10 next season.

I'll be there warrens 76 - need to sort out a pub...is Strassie and the little Strassie's coming too?
I understand we can have up to 5000 for the first throw of the dice...I doubt if we will sell them all after last week.
First time ever to Wigan for a match - must make a good impression. Want at least 3000 in this 6-pointer to cheer them on. It's only £20 - best value game in The Premier League!
Don't shout as much as REDARMY1 - but a lot more bite then Kent141!!

Alas, we're not going to Wigan. We'll be over for Newcastle, though. Everything booked bar the match tickets, but they're in hand.

At least I'll be able to abuse all the Toon players in their own language :)

Likewise - I'm going to be in York on Saturday, then Toon Sunday. My train hits Newcastle around 11am , been a while since my last visit...

Great! We're in Ripon till Saturday and are then heading up to Necastle. Are you a member of the Echo Saints Facebook forum?

Nearer the time, I guess people on there will suggest pubs to meet in on the day.
