John Boy Saint

So many folks didn't quite get Telfer, the fittest fastest player at the club at the time, who was a good example of the Lawrie Mac analogy of what makes a good team, Roadsweepers and Violinists: Telfer was a Roadsweeper! Lovely goal against the Toon too!

Objected to paying the Severn Bridge toll, and didn't fancy having to meet that whinging Frog Wenger! Still marvellous, the last time she handed over the cup was to the Mighty Saints!

Hmmmm not getting excited about this simply because Neil Moss, Paul Smith, Bart, even Tommy Forecast, were all touted as the next great thing between the sticks. This lad has hardly played any first team football and that was not I front of a 30k plus stadium crowd, could all be a bit of clever marketing by Brum. "impressed in training!". By all accounts Stuart Downing is stunning in training, however come match day and the heat of battle he can't hit a cows ar$e with a Banjo.

Thing is though if I read that right, Prawn Sandwiches and Chardonnay, Ruby and a Pint, are all on top of the £975 plus Vat "Club Lounge Members will have exclusive access to a cash bar facility, with food and matchday programmes also available to purchase" So you get to sit on padded seats, just like at MK Dons and have to squint into a setting winter sun to watch the game. The upside is at last there is a specific Season ticket for the Southampton supporting fashion Police, who abhor rubbing shoulders with the Replica shirt wearing hoi polloi!

Short programme that just one minute, must be some clever technology on the horizon for us to extract it and slow it down in our heads........... Has to be an Apple thing.

Another dumb ar$ed thread started by someone who just does not get it! We are Swiss owned, Swiss owned means we just get on with it without entering the let's see who can piddle highest up the wall contest. The media mither that we are difficult to deal with, look at every other team that allows access all areas to the media, it allows the media to get a fingernail under the edge of the wallpaper. Nicola has employed a Man to do a job, Nicola has underwritten the signing of players to get the job done, we have gotten the job done, no need to blow sunshine up anyone's backside in public, in business no one has a street party for getting the job done, they just get on an persue the next target: if the next target is Lisbon May 2014, I for one am buying a ticket for that ride regardless of whether the man at the top has anything to say. People have bank accounts in Switzerland because it is just a number no identity everything is PRIVATE. if the product or "The Southampton Way" as it is called is successful why do we need to hear from the man at the top. His main conduit to the masses, Nigel, plays the game very well. Nicola speaks when he needs to, get use to it. The Leeds programme cover when you saw what transpired re the Oxo deal a matter of days later was inspired: but only if you get it.

We are the Millwall of Eurovision................... No one likes us but we don't care!! Although we can't pull up the drawbridge and give the Archers 2 fingers to the lot of them................ Is does smart a little that our licence money goes towards propping up this eastern bloc love in! Hump's song was not too bad v recent entries, just a shame we got the number 1 draw................. Looks like the formulaic Ibiza backing track is just catching on in Europe.

Tia quite funny really, there are a few on here who slag Maggie Thatcher. Well for the misguided Labour supporters and Maggie slaggers A) If Labour were in power we would have signed up to this Euro wheeze and for want of a better term been staring into the Abyss on the verge of being F u c k e d. B) she always believed that all the nations of Europe were so different that a single Europe and Currency would not work, just like the Socialist ideal of the wonderful Soviet Socialist Republic was a real winner when it started to collapse in 1989. And whilst on the subject of Maggie if you live in a mining community ( or in a militant docker Southampton household) you might have an axe to grind, whereas if live in the south you have chuff all to moan about in reality about Maggies tenure of the Country.

If you paid attention you would have seen that I was responding to Ohios relatives Ice Cream Palours being bombed by Fritz during the War. so pull your head in Norwegian mythical creature!!

I think the bottom line is that Harrold Redknapps end of season bonfire has been piddled on from a great height from over a 1000 miles away: that has to be worth a smile at least?

I know from someone who heard it from the highest level, if you fit the bill every effort to keep you will be made. To replace Lallana for example would cost in excess £5+ so rather than sell him pay him the money to keep him. Lets just say a corner has been turned since ML & NC entered the building

You have to admit the fine for them for the team they put out v Villa was a crime, had that been Manure, Citeh, Pool, Chelski no bugger would have given a chuff!

The place will be rammed full for Wigan Rugby League games. Fooball is without doubt the poor relation in this town. So a bit of a no brainer that the prices for the Footie are bobbins.

Yeah! Err um : my Grandad on leave was on fire watch and the chuffin Krauts dropped a landline that blew him into his back garden and lifted the roof off the house and back down where it was but with shocking cracks in the upstairs ceiling in their house in Dale Valley Road ( opposite where Mark Wright lodged as a nipper) so err well done Chelsea for sticking it up em!!

Err I will 51st my thanks!

I have to say I have a soft spot for Roberto, he cut his teeth in the lower leagues (scored a great goal v Boro in the cup). Most of all though Arry bloody Redkrapp is really ****ed off tonight, breaks my bloody heart.................... Not!!!!

The only slight tinge of disappointment was there was no second place trophy for us to cheer on the final day, although if that the size of the cup you get in the play off second place cup must be huge!! The way we did it was so much more comfortable.

Keep looking over your shoulder shorty, consider your card marked. No team of yours will be sticking 4 past any team of mine in the future! As the Sharks off the Coast of S(unny would say: Eat my Bubbles!!

These days the manager identifies the player and will have chat with him in the process just to make sure he is what he thinks he is, attends the medical. But that is as far as it goes for him until the deal is done, as with the millions involved someone else in the organisation will deal with the pounds shillings and pence of the deal, the manager probably won't know the full detail until the dotted line has been signed.

Blimey that finishing line keeps getting closer. State of Independance popped into my head as soon as I saw the opening post. RIP Donna Summer: like Phil, one of the artists on the soundtrack of my life.

Errr not quite, they had "that Clown Comoly" who did all the player deals....... Yup him what did given the boot a few weeks back. Reliable sources have revealed that in the purchase of Carroll Comoly's opening bid was for £30m!! Newcastle (almost like Dave Jones did when the phone rang with Blackburn offering £7.5m for Kevin Davies) nearly passed out then probably thought let's get a bit of play money and tell them £35m he's yours.

Ooo looks a lethal line up! Especially up front, Nice break for Rooney 4 weeks in Eastern Europe and play one game! Ah well no expectations to be disappointed by.

WooHoo!!! A 6 pack for £40ish! Hell-o Ladies

My point was the getting in to for free when you have stopped cancelled to Direct Debit on the installment plan, instead of Stewards chasing a moving target round the stands, although that will be less likely an empty seat will be available to hide in next season based on previous Premiership attendances. With this system those who have defaulted in anyway will not even get into the stadium. No body is to know how smart this system is, there could well be a simple light system to prompt the the turnstile attendant(s) look up whenever a consessionary ticket is scanned. There were a few aways last year where a scanning system was running and they asked that anyone with a consession ticket brought proof of age ID, whilst this might not have been checked it might have made some of those thinking about trying it on think twice. No one will know until someone has tried their luck at getting in on a Kids ticket as an Adult and succeeded, then broadcast it on here, which I would imagine will shut the loophole.

Worked with a girl called Pauline Conduct when the store tannoy went out for her all you heard was Miss Conduct
