He's getting on in years and has had a few long term injuries in the last couple of years.

For mine I would say he flattered to decieve. When I first saw him I thought he would be a lightening winger. But he never seemed to be able to let fly with his pace.

He is an honest grafter though and will have a good work ethic, with run through a brick wall for the team and get his head taken off a few times in the process.

I agree. Obviously I can't comment on what he like in the changing room/on the training field but on a match day he certainly doesn't come across like a leader and he doesn't set good examples to the younger players. He acts like a petulant child when things aren't going his way and it has gone worse as he has got older.

Wello?

Teaching them aeroplane impressions?

Has the club actually announced anything regarding Gardner? I don't remember seeing anything. I can only assume he is being given a new contract though as he wasn't in the 'goodbyes' at our last home game, and I believe he would be given his length of time at Saints.

And what about Josh Perry come to think of it? I doubt he would be mentioned in the 'goodbyes' if he was going but there has been no mention by the club of him actually leaving has there?

All very strange. I'd love to know what's going on at Saints these days. Is that Mascarandy still at Saints? He used to come on here and explain a thing or two?

It's got worse as his game has deteriorated. I think at first he blamed teammates for being out of position, then he started on refs for imagined infringements. Now he just shouts at the gods.

Whilst waggling his arms.
