I agree. In fact Wotte said that the team wanted to come out and applaud the fans for the fantastic support in what has been a nightmare of a season.

Obviously.

I heard from a fairly reliable source that "Crouch and one other" paid for Davies` transfer fee. Could well be the case. I am not arguing that Crouch hasn`t put a fair bit of his money into the club, and fair play to him for that, but we are, what, £30M in debt? I think that the amount that he put in pales into insignificance when compared to the debt which he is partly responsible for. As far as I am concerened, Lowe, Wilde and Crouch hold a degree of responsibility for the mess that we are in. It is the proportioning of that blame that is open to debate.

Hmmmm......... who has a better idea of what has really gone on at Saints - MLT or Roger??:confused: Can you please explain how Leon has bankrolled the club? I am aware that he funded the Ted Bates statue, that he possibly helped fund Andrew Davies transfer, and that he has donated a fairly big amount to the current SOS Appeal, but I am not sure how he has bankrolled the Club.

I agree with everything you say here, but what I don`t quite understand, is why HR decided to stay on after we were relegated when he could have walked away at the end of the relegation season. It was painfully obvious that he never really wanted to be here. I even remember that on the day that he was unveiled as our manager, whilst he was being photographed with a Saints scarf above his head, the snapper said to him "come on Harry, you can smile!" but he couldn`t bring himself to do it.

It was actually the Burnley players called for the Physio. The ref was totally useless and had no control for the whole game. David Armstrong on Radio Hants (not for the first time) stood up for the ref and reckoned that he got most decisions right!

Speedway Emil Sajfutdinov becomes youngest ever winner in Speedway Grand Prix Russian teenager Emil Sajfutdinov announced his arrival on the Grand Prix stage by becoming the youngest ever winner in the opening round in Prague on Saturday. By Ben Findon Last Updated: 11:51AM BST 26 Apr 2009 Jubilant: Emil Sayfutdinov celebrates on the podium in Prague after winning the opening round of the Speedway Grand Prix Photo: AP In another threat to the established order, Swedish outsider Freddie Lindgren, who finished 10th in last year's rankings, was the leading points scorer of the night, though he was outfought by the 19-year-old Russian in the final. The Grand Prix has been dominated though this decade by Tony Rickardsson, Jason Crump and reigning world champion Nicki Pedersen and organisers have yearned for a more youthful challenge to add some much needed freshness and unpredictability to the rostrum. Now, it appears, the grand prix establishment have a true battle on their hands to maintain domination, while promoters suddenly have an exciting new product to promote at events such as the British Grand Prix in June. Sajfutdinov has the pedigree and back-up to maintain a serious challenge in the gruelling campaign ahead. He has won the world under-21 title for the past two seasons, is widely viewed as Continental Europe's most exciting talent and enjoys the mechanical guidance of Polish guru Tomas Suskiewicz, formerly a key component of Rickardsson's serial world-title winning team. The Russian's intentions were clear from the start in Prague's Marketa Stadium, where he opened up with a ferocious onslaught on Crump. Though he had to settle for second in that race, and ran a last place next time out, he then swept by Pedersen and Britain's Scott Nicholls for another second place before a heat win and a third gave him the final qualifying place for the semi-finals. There he picked himself up after a first bend tumble to lead home Leigh Adams and Pedersen, then fended off Lindgren in the final for his historic victory. Sajfutdinov said: "Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could win my first grand prix. I have dreamt of being a grand prix rider since winning my first world under-21 championship, but not winning a grand prix." Crump was third but at least had the consolation of arch-rival Pedersen failing to progress from the semi-finals. Yet this year's race could be more than just about the Australian and Danish titans. Crump said: "I never believed this year's grand prix was just between Nicki and me. There are some terrific youngsters coming through, just look at Emil." There was a low-key start for the British challenge. Chris Harris and Scott Nicholls both missed out on a place in the semis.

I got "aroused" once while watching Carol Vordeman. I was quite pleased. Well, it is 7 letters.

P??

I have already said this to some P**pey fans who were taking the **** - If it can happen to us it can happen to you!

TBF what it does say is that Tom Scott is not involved in any bid. It mentions the week-end reports linking Scott and Lowe but does not say that Lowe is not involved at all ...... worryingly!

This is correct although I would say that it was more than 30 seconds between the ref blowing the final whistle and anybody realising that the game had actually finished. It was only when it was clear that the game had finished that the crowd in the Kingsland North (fairly close to where I sit) ran onto the pitch. In no way am I justifying what happened but I do agree with other posters that given the emotion of the afternoon, the police moving in to the front of the Northam end (Saints only) with (unmuzzled?) dogs was probably both insensitive and antagonistic and contributed to make the situation worse than it should have been.

I was responding ( probably rather predictably) to dalek2003`s ongoing assumption that if Hoddle had come back we wouldn`t be in this mess. Sadly my IF is as valid as anyone elses. "If ifs and ands were pots and pans there`d be no work for tinkers hands" .........apparently.

Whats this? A "witty" riposte? Well it does make a change from the continuous driibbling on about... well you know who.

In that case I suspect that we could find someone better than Hoddle again.

If Hoddle hadn`t walked out on us when he did we may have avoided the **** we are in now.

Yawn!:smt015

Homer or Bart??:confused:

Not really. I`ll Google him and let you know what I find out. Detective Trousers? Pah!

As a matter of interest, how many members does SISA have? I thought that it was just a small handful.

O.K. Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Geronimo AND Crouch!

I believe it to be Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and Geronimo but I am not ITK or anything.

19C has been aiming bile at Crouch and McMenemy for a while, and has now included MLT in his list. I would be the first to agree that at times he/she does make some valid points but unfortunately they tend to get lost in the (deliberately?) antagonistic style in which he/she posts. It is a shame because I think that he/she prefers poking the wasps nest with a stick to being the voice of reason.
