Chambers over Clyne for me any day and it seems the manager agrees

Artur Boruc, New Years Day v Arsenal. Adkins had given him the impression he wasn't playing, so he had a "good" night only to be told he was playing when he arrived at SMS. Who can forget those first 15 minutes?

Fair points and yes her being at the home of the Hammers is good news. I hope she liked the jellied eels etc. I think all of us would feel comfortable if she remained our owner and was prepared to maintain the financial commitment. Like I said MP's actions in the summer will be the first clue.

Interesting read - I was under the impression Michael Wilde had little or no money left after his business went south? Obviously wrong, I also believe his New Forest house was recently on the market.

In James we trust!

David just because she is showing some interest in us doesn't mean she isn't going to sell. If you were thinking of selling the family silver presumably you would give it a good polish beforehand? We will soon know when we see what funds are available in the summer or even before that if Pochettino walks at the season's end.

Once a player has sold his soul to play in the States there is no coming back into proper football.

Not ever qualifying for the CL (or having little chance) will be something that will always hold us back. That's why the rich clubs get richer, the CL is distorting the gap.

You spend a lot of time moaning about other posters. Ignore them and tell us your views Mike

Or he has come in to "polish the family silver"?

Ings realistically but that sounds incredibly disrespectful to Burnley

I think also no club has lost more points from a winning position. We need to work on our finishing to start earning the points our excellent football warrants.

Talks sense so that's a good start

We need to start building for next year. MP needs a new contract and a commitment from Ms Liebherr that reasonable funds will continue to be made available. Much good work has taken place this season (I am deliberately not mentioning the FA Cup) it would be a shame if we start stagnating now.

I think him to be an excellent manager but imo the club need to make him feel wanted (new contract) and show him they continue to mean business(money to spend in the summer).

Good makes it all worthwhile thanks

Saint Charlie - I have no idea what is this infraction you speak off but the player who was matey with Chas was John Fitchett (1902-03) or page 69 of the book

Unfortunately no chance, they will be far too overawed playing in front of the bestest braying crowd in world history!

just a shame that something like this attracts the reaction it does. Just wanted to post something some people (not everyone I accept) might find vaguely interesting. I found out this story about 2 weeks after "All the Saints" was published. (Cue more digs). Very frustrating but tonight I found out about another ex-Saint who appeared on the stage with Charlie Chaplin in 1911.

Living History Um I had never heard of them as a company up until this story.

That is an infinitely better opening line but I wrote the article in conjunction with his great grand daughter and not sure she would have approved

For those interested in the club's history or for those who just like a gruesome murder. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/11028175.Sinning_Saint_who_escaped_gallows/

My point was (probably badly made since I was still angry then) there is little respect for the fans these days. But as so many pointed out that's modern football. Like some I remain disillusioned but supporting the Saints is too ingrained in my blood and I will be hoping like hell we beat West Ham, particularly as I hate Nolan.

I think I will pass on this one
