    I have heard that sarcasm is the highest form of intelligence.

    I would hazard a guess that you probably believe in the tooth fairy too.

    Indeed I'm not. But I'm utterly correct on the daft statement you posted then denied, then tried to defend and from which you're now trying to deflect attention by calling me names.

    Oh, and since you've chosen to make it personal, I'm happy to note that you were nowhere to be seen for two years while things were going well. Not a single post when the wind was fair. You just appeared on New Year's Eve like a silent fart kept over from Christmas.

    I know I get it, if you play in the prem you're world class.

    Some average players in that team. VVD is a better player than all of them.

    It's quite a stretch to say those player are world class, but I somehow doubt that was the point of saintkeef's original post.

    I take that as a personal slur having spent 6 months in hospital followed by a long rehab - close mouth bite off foot!

    I love a good "world class player" debate.

    I would argue that I have seen 2 of those play for Saints over the last 40 years. Neither of them are on that list.

    Best definition I have heard is that, for a footballer to be considered genuinely world class, he has to be good enough to walk into any team, anywhere in the world. MLT and Gareth Bale both qualify, imo. Channon...well...borderline...world class swearer though, by all accounts.

    One other positive, from last night.
    Lewis, McQueen, Stephens, JWP, Reed and Sims, equals 6 academy players started the game. And none of them were the worst player in our side.

    I mentioned in my post, yesterday, how most of McQueen's quality crosses seemed to find Sims.
    As others have said, the movement from our more experienced strikers wasn't great, and where crosses are concerned JRod tended to go straight down the centre, or towards the near post, which is why we only had Sims, at the back post, attacking crosses from our left. SRL's movement, around the box, was varied, which was one of the things that made him so difficult to stop, back in the day.
    Long, when in the middle, does tend to attack crosses more at the back post, than JRod.

    It was intended as a personal slur. I don't call people "farts" if I think we're going to be on one another's Christmas card lists.

    Anyway, all this tomfoolery is intended to divert attention from the poverty of your original argument. Or the bloke who posted it. Or your defence of it. Or whatever.

    So, have we parted company with 12 world class players in three years?

    I agree about their quality but is there any way we could get the academicians to grow a bit taller?

    Seriously, we must have one of the shortest squads in the league.

    Define "world class" yours and mine are clearly very different.

    Alan Ball. World Class one touch player... and white boots before white boots were invented.

    Chris Marsden. Genius, but I suppose not quite World Class.
