Listened to Richard Chorley on Radio Hampshire on the way home and I'm sure he said that unless the club received a major cash injection it could fold by this time next week. Is that correct?

in a nutshell.

oh what I wouldn't do for a Jeremy Goss UEFA cup memory instead of the somewhat spineless 1-0 defeat in Bucherest we got.

I find it hard to slate Wotte too much as the players at the club right now are simply not good enough. Whether he is partly to blame for some of those players being here I don't know, but whoever signed Wotton, Holmes, Gasmi etc. has to hold their hands up and take some of the blame. You can't polish a turd.

we have a squad full of Cavendish's...bloody useless bastards that fall over when the lights are on them.

As bad as Saeijs has been in two of the last three games he has been the stand out performer since he got here. Perry is terrible IMO and I'd happily allow him to retire. Thomas may never make it back and Lancashire is lightweight. Getting Saeij to sign again is paramount to any promotion push next season.

that squad will be relegated from League 1 IMO.

The Golden Gate?

I'd like to say "why would we not have offered him a new deal if was all that" but the quality members of the youth set up (Prost et al) are long gone so this concerns me. Letting Baseya get anywhere near the end of his contract without offering a new one puts more than enough doubt in my mind that we do not have the right staff in place.

just over 1300 now sold (1pm Thursday)

I thought you said administration was the best thing that could happen to the club? You're not now getting nervous about us going into liquidation are you?

absolutely, but it will be sold ouy by tomorrow and then the next batch MUST be made available to everyone.

ever considered that the vast majority of regular `diehard' away fans are also ST holders? I don't know for sure, but I would imagine that of those that have been to 15 away games this season most will actually be ST holders.

cheers chaps. Anyone taken them to an away game? I'm half dreading that last minute McGoldrick winner that keeps us up and sends them down (I predicted this three months ago to annoy my brother in law that comes to Saints games, slates McGoldrick, but is a massive Forest fan) as I'm normally like zeberdee when we score and that could **** my knee up for keeps. What can you do?

I'm having a knee operation the week before. I wonder if anyone can tell me if they have ever taken crutches into a football stadium?

Can you tell me what security Barclays have on the overdraft?

This IS Holmes we are talking about? Jesus, the guy has a left foot but beyond that he is garbage. No pace, no trick, doesn't tackle, win headers, score goals...I think you might have been blinded by his white boots/socks cos he never gets them bloody dirty. For me he just about justifys his transfer fee.

from what I have seen a large percentage of fans leave it till last minute to book away tickets these days so I'd expect several hundred more fasn to go now its pay on the gate.

why have we been given the lower tier? I thought they only ever used the upper tier these days and as this game marks teh anniversary of the dissaster it seems strange to open it now.

have we not got scouts?

slow and can't head. Serious problems for a fullback in my opinion, but his composure on the ball is a delight as to is his crossing and passing. I'd like to see him get to the byeline though once in a while. Having a real right midfielder that covers him when he does would help.

Over the last oh I don't know how many years there seems to have been very little planning done towards the end of the season for the following season. Being almost relegated, actually relegated, almost promoted and back to nearly relegated has put paid to that and this summer looks even worse with no idea if we will exist or what division we will be in, never mind what budget is available. Having said all that the show MUST go on and I wonder if our notoriously useless scouts (giv us a job) have unearthed some out of contract, to be released, available for nothing, free transfer, on the cheap, young or experienced prospects that we might lure with the prospect of a Leicester style turn around in fortune (assumng we are relegated) in front of large crowds? Relegation will no doubt see another cull of our own out of contract high earners (Davis, BWP, Saeijs, and Euell) so a few squad positions will come up. Now is the time to be thinking about this and start negotiating otherwise we are going to be left once again with the dregs like Wotton and Holmes. For instance has Dany N'Guessan's agent been spoken to? He is goal scoring 21 year old available on a free from Lincoln. I'm sure there are countless others that we should at least enquire about on the assumption that we will go forward. Even if a deal can not be concluded we can show our interest and that might help us down the line.

over the course of the season perhaps, but not on that showing. We totally outplayed Palace from start to finish.

disinterested? What a load of ********. He certainly looks lazy at times (his running style doesn't help him there), and at other times he really is lazy, but disinterested is not a term I'd use about any of the players yesterday or maybe even all season. Don't confuse lack of quality with lack of interest. don't agree at all about his first touch. The only ball he miscontrolled all day was the through ball early doors that was just too far to reach. His first touch is his best attribute IMO. I do however agree that Lallana should get that front of the diamond role and have been saying so for months.

behave. We were good, they were bad, but that still doesn't mean every player in our side had a great game. Wotton gave it everything as usual but should we survive I'd like to see him shown the door in favour of a player that can run and pass above the standard of my five a side team. By the way I've been here all the time.
