Are you please to see me or is that a head up your butt?

What's David Dein upto these days?

Who would YOU want to own/run the club?
Doctoroncall replied to Fitzhugh Fella's topic in The Saints
Agree with this. It's hard to see a better option. -
I don't know why you all are focused on the wrong end of the table! They are still only 12 points away from the play-offs easy to get with 21 games left, newish manager syndrome and fantastic contacts with the other clubs to have their pick of reserve and young players. You know it's going to happen, Wembley beckons again after a season of cup finals.
-
So what second string / youngsters from the premier league have they loaned so far these passed few seasons? I can only think of Potts.
-
But what is surprising is they are only 12 points from the play-offs, hope must still be lingering and there are some important games coming up against their promotion rivals next month, so let's see if these cup finals can be the start of a glorious return to league one!
-
They have had quite a few injuries to a small squad so not too bad to keep in touch of the play-offs at the half way point of the season

The pressure is on for the new management team. From the guardian's half season report by fan Benedict West... Season in one word Struggle How's it going? A tough half-season in League Two. We have sparked occasionally, but faltered too frequently. Bright beginnings to matches have fizzled out into dull draws and abject starts have been followed by promising performances, without success. We now find ourselves four points from the bottom of the table, following a winless streak of eight games. Maulings by Oxford and Newport were followed by home defeats to Southend and S****horpe. There's hope that the new management team of Richie Barker and Steve Coppell can turn things around (with encouraging words so far), but there's hardly anything to build on. Who's been the star? Ricky Holmes has been the closest we've had to a consistent performer. He is currently the top assister in League Two (seven assists), which is decent considering our top scorer has not scored in the league since August. Biggest disappointment? The squad failing to gel in the way that many of us convinced ourselves that it would. Community spirit and fan-ownership does not transfer into a unified team. (I should also mention the match-fixing allegations against Sam Sodje which were the last thing we needed associated in any way with the club. Dreadful.) All we want for Christmas is ... A revival – something to cling on to and a semblance of stability. At this stage, we should forget pre-season predictions of play-offs and promotion – it's survival we're aiming for. Benedict West

Thread calling Trousers and the groundhog pic!

I bet the case wasn't straightforward, plenty of travel to exotic locations and was there was a twist at the end? anyway what complete idiots, especially the Saints fan for spitting and a likely ban coming his way.

Post Match Reaction: SAINTS 2-3 Aston Villa

If it was because Cork and Yoshida were rusty that they didn't get to the speed of the game, it's up to the manager that they get more game time. A bit more rotation and sub appearances and they may have been better prepared. Still, 7th place and that can also be a fine position to finish the season and achievable. -
Is that what is called doing a Daly?
-
So what qualities and traits does Januzaj have that makes him standout from others to be nominated as a Y-SPOY candidate?
-
Time to bring on the academy boys... But of course they'll want to loan the out first!
-
Air or expansion with system heating up usually. I had a magnatec fitted (cost £120) a few years ago and that solved the problem for me as it wasn't the above.
-
The plug or an RCD.
-
Lets see what the next six bring. That will bring us close to the half point stage and if its still 2 points a game average it'll be impressive stuff.
-
I saw that too and thought we'll own the midfield with Morgan and Vic. They also haven't had a settled centre back partnership but I'm sure it'll be a tough match, they aren't top for nothing.
-
Yes, certainly in the mix as it currently stands after 11 games, but long shots for the top four with another 27 games left and possible injuries to our small squad. relying on Fox and Jos for cover will cost us points. Other factors also helping us with challenging at the top are managerial changes at teams expected to be up there in City, Utd and Chelsea, with their players finding it hard going under the new regimes. All those teams are below us. 2 points a game is unbelievable. Certainly loving it at the moment with dreaming anything is possible but dreading a Lovren injury!

Post Match Reaction: SAINTS 4-1 Hull City

From Michael Cox of Zonal Marking: Wanyama has been so bad today. We're talking 2/10. His fifth poor pass inside own half, and finally punished. 3-1. 4:17 PM - 9 Nov 2013 -
Depends who, there are some players who i would regard as essential so it's not clear cut. In the future - two or three seasons it shouldn't be so bad - the dependency shouldn't impact so much as player standards rise and the reserve (younger) players would have got use to the style of play.
-
It just goes to show how dependant we are on the starting eleven for having a good go at the league, injuries will hit us and we'll tumble down the league. Nice to see Reed have a decent game at least and we desperately need more younsters coming through to be of a higher standard than fox, jos and company or spend more money on better players for a real go at the league or cup if euro qualification is wanted.

Also depends on if you are in conservation area for planning approval. Your architect will be able to estimate the cost. For beams you can use this... http://www.beamcalculation.co.uk/

Surely it was to demonstrate what arrogance is?

What happen? I have no commentary (thanks apple and Saints player!!!)
