you all seem to know a great deal about Lambert. I just wonder how good he can be if not a single CCC side were willing to pay a million quid for him. Maybe that says more about the state of the finances of the clubs up there than his ability, but it does make me wonder.

Piquionne. Not seen him yet, here he is in action... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J16f1Z4-IDU

oh and for my 3000th post I'd add that if I was a betting man I'd have my money on the skates to go down.

Lets compare your [possible eleven with Stokes shall we: James Sorensen Hreidersen Higginbottom Distin Shawcross Kaboul Faye Cranie Wilkinson Hughes Whelen Mokena Delap Krankjar Etherington Diop Lawrence Nugent Fuller Pasualle BT I'd say there is not much between you and if I'm honest they have more threat going forward as BT and Fuller just seem to be able to grabs goals even when not offered chances on a plate.

didn't have the looks though.

Look no further than Matt Patterson on Saturday.

maybe tracking back and running around a lot was his role. AP will work things out, in the mean time lets build the lads confidence up and get him using his tricks in the final third, get him driving into the box and get him shooting at the right times.

he's got talent (anyone that doesn't see that knows nothing about the game) that will enable him to play at a higher level, but as Delldays and the rest say he will at some point have to start delivering chances and goals. I think that with another good run in this side and some careful guidance from AP adn we might get a bit of both.

was that a refusal to play kind of injury or a don't play in case he gets injured and prevents a transfer kind of injury?

do you think AP has discussed possible signings (and their potential costs) with ML at all or will it just be a case of ML saying to Nicola that you have £5m if you need it?

I suppose if people in the back row stand up then this can effect the view for the box behind. I was back row there last season though and I don't recall a single incident where box holders got annoyed by people standing up in front of them. To be honest there were very few games that the boxes were ever taken up.

a million quid is a decent amount of money. I guess they will point to the £1.5m (plus add ons) for Cox but he is younger thereby offering sell on potential.

I moved from Itchen North to Kingland North for this season and I thought the atmosphere was fantastic. To be honest it was as loud as Northam. I notice that we are not seling the four or five back rows of the Itchen North now. Why is that?

would be nice to get his home debut out of the way, perhaps with a goal to take any pressure off him going into Saturday.

lets hope we can put a bloody big smile back on his face each saturday with a few wins especially against Hartlepool.

he did fade in the second half to be fair. Sub wise I did think he got it wrong, When patterson went off I'd have liked to have seen Gobern chucked up the front to help Saga rather than the move to 5 in midfield. He could've moved Lallana into the middle or even played Thomson up front and got him running down the channels. Saga is **** on his won and the ball never sticks. Instead he played Thomson in the hole and he was totally uneffective there. Lightweight is an understatement, but if you are lacking strength you've got to be sharper, quicker and better than your oponent. He was Smith like poor for me but Pardew played him in the wrong position. Lallana in the hole Thomson out wide. Simple. Another thing that worried me was our total ineffectivness to combat the three strikers. On a number of ocasions last season sides losing to us would chuck an extra man up front and we fell to peices. Nothing has changed. I hoped Hardings extra height might help but this is when Perry's lack of height - and even Thomas' starts to cause us problems. Not sure Pardew can be blamed for this though.

it has just crossed my mind that we have not ionly signed a guy with goals in him but we've got someone that actually wants to be here - well I hope that is the case and he han't just come for the extra wedge.

A centre back that wins headers, pace up front and some kind of wide man. Possibly in that order.

it was Morgan, or if this was some kind of sarcasm it has gone over my head.

listen to this man.

did that include the RAW box which never seems to be used by its owners?

The Rasiak "injury" sugests he will go before Saga. I wonder if we will recoup much of the £1m for Lambert?

anyone know what the private box sales are like this season. I couldn't see many in use.
