It's fair to say they won't be asking Ruth Jones back. Appalling and a crying shame in what could have been the funniest weeks ever after all that had happened. Couple that with t*atface Corden and we can safely say Gavin and Stacey and all its related guff is a flash in the pan. Bit like a couple of years back when everyone in the media decided that we all thought The Kumars was hilarious and they were hyped to infinity. They were sh**.

And? Still one of the most accessible sources of two minute news you can get. I must look at the Saints section of BBC Teletext three times a day! When Saints news is relegated to a footnote on the "news in brief" section, that's when our League One existence will really start to bite. I'd been thinking about starting a Teletext related thread for a while, delighted to see it's not "just me"!

Which will happen first? a) The final announcement and completion of the takeover of the club by the successful party or b) The removal of Southampton from the BBC Teletext Championship Club News list? (that's going to hurt) I think b). I think this needs full discussion and possibly a poll. (By all means broaden this out to you know you're in league one when... I notice Sky Sports News have moved us to the L1 ticker already)

There is nothing "legal" or "illegal" about points deductions - these are just the rules of a club (league) that members (the clubs) have signed up to. So we deserve it, and within the confines of the rules, it is a correct decision as well. It's not a legal matter.

Depending on the set up of the new board, we could be the most experienced clubs at board level in the whole of the English league. Being that you haven't the faintest idea of who might be on our new board, god knows where you think you can make those kinds of statements.

So Adrian Boothroyd isn't an established Championship manager then, either? What about Steve Coppell, not an established Championship manager? Dowie's record in all the clubs he's been at stands up to scrunity, because it is very good. Dowie would be a fantastic appointment for us.

Do remind me what has Iain Dowie touched that has been a "disaster"? Certainly not Charlton, certainly not Coventry where he did better than Coleman has with less money, and certainly not QPR where they did no better before or after him. There is a slight question mark over why he has changed so many jobs but Steve Bruce had a funny reputation for a time as well. Dowie just needs to settle somewhere, and if he settles with us, we'll be promoted, and a solid CCC level proposition in no time at all.

Why on earth is Widdrington on here. It was just a p*sstake suggestion put forward by some of the p*sstakers on the forum. It is a joke and it was quite funny at one point, but lets leave it shall we.

This can't possibly happen as Billy Davies only ever signs hooftastic hoofing hoofballing hoofers like Matt Oakley.

Troll.

Tell you what, lets put this post up again. Apart from Stanley's witterings this is a post more worthy of repeated p*ss take than any I've seen for a long time. Here it is again, chaps.... :rolleyes:

Exhibit A: Case closed, your honour.

LOL. Nice to see the old favourite "you'll wreck the deal if you keep on moaning on this web forum. They're reading this. You'll be sorry, honest you will" routine still has a place on Saints Web. It's just like old times.

Funny how you have a weasily little excuse for decades and decades of p*ss poor attendances. When were you in the fourth division? Oh, 1978. Christ, who cares Any chance of posting on a forum about your own football club. Weirdo.

Leeds managed the play offs from 15 points down, so no reason why it isn't possible.

Err - the original post says "within two years". We need very little money to get out of this league.

Not that much, unless you think S****horpe and Millwall spent millions and millions to get to the play off final this year. Once we're on an even keel I very much doubt we'd need much more incremental investment that we could generate through the gate etc.

Come on, I can't be the only one who had a little shudder reading that line? All he had to do was put COYR at the end and I would have been suicidal. Seriously, that read really well and I am very chuffed with how that all sounds. Maybe the comeback starts today.

Because bankrupt football clubs in 1976 we running at the same kind of losses that we were/are, were they? 8,000 gates season in, season out in the second tier LOL, we'll **** all over that in League One.

Delighted to say I have never so much as looked at a Portsmouth web forum, let alone post on one like you seem to do obsessively. You're in the Premier League onto your third multimillionaire and we're up ****street. And you're still bloody obsessed with us. When you were nowhere I didn't give your club a second thought. Bitter, bitter ****s.

This would be the same Kanu match days after the greatest day in your history to celebrate one of your best players in your recent history and how many bothered to turn up? The save our saints game was a load of cobbled together nonsense where the fans were being fleeced again once too often, and everyone knew raising piddly amounts of money wasn't going to make a blind bit of difference. I am proud of Saints fans for turning their backs on it. Good luck with your sheikh but don't forget Sunderland, Villa, Everton, Man City and Spurs are all keen on being the next big thing too. And who had the fifth biggest wage bill last season? And where did it get them.

Sorry, its not "my politics". It's your dopey logic pulling to completely seperate elements: 1) Barclays Marketing Budget and 2) the same bank dealing with a business in administration. There is no relationship between the two things and you making out there is one is just lunacy. More relevant would be two elements that are related ie a) how Barclays deals with businesses in administration and b) how Barclays deals with Southampton Leisure Holdings. Sorry, these two things should be the same and you saying SLH should get preferential treatment is a slap in the face to all the ordinary people out there working for companies that don't happen to be football clubs. That's my politics - it's about being fair.

you're a slow learner, but welcome aboard at last

Not sure about Europe but my guess is Saints games should be available online next season through Solent in the UK. Most BBC local stations do broadcast games online, it was the SaintsTV deal that blocked it before. I've not renewed yet, so saves me a few quid anyway.
