Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

A new defender is acquired and there are Saeijs of relief around St Mary's!! Or maybe it's just a cunning plan by Rupert: if the fans start to chant for Jan P. to go, he can send Mr Saiejs back to Holland instead... Seriously, though, welcome to Southampton, Jan. We need a leader at the back & I really hope you're the answer.

I really hope Saints are serious about using him because boy do we need some inspiration from somewhere. I'd like to see him played in the hole, just off the central striker, particularly if Lallana is sold.

To be honest, that's the way I see it too! Scary that it's looking like we're going into these crucial games with Perry as our only decent centre back.

As the title says really, seeing as the Christian Dailly rumour has died a death...

Does the lack of any news mean we can file this in the Paul Allen folder of unfulfilled rumours?!

Unfortunately Bristol Rovers would want us to cross their palms with silver. And we ain't got none.

Has our Church Newpaper been delivered yet?

The Sunday Mirror has Pearce in our predicted team! Are they not up to date on all things Saints? Are we no longer big news?!

Hold on - let me call the missus. I knew I could be right one day...!

Thought Burley brought him in?

Someone suggested, on another thread, that Franco di Santo could be on his way from Chelsea.

Rupert points to our ability to hold onto our current top scorer, David McGoldrick, in the face of multi-million pound bids, as evidence of our ambition.

Has his loan expired now or is it about to?

Happy New Year to all! Here's hoping 2009 will be a vast improvement on 2008 for Saints. Rupert Lowe leaving the club would be a start...

Too long.

Too long.

My teamsh are just like a plane. Eventually, they alwaysh go down.

Mike Wilde: I need to think seriously about what's happening. Now what would Rupert like me to do...

Again, hope or based on fact?

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11103 Good job JP pledged to entertain the bumper crowd; imagine how bad it would've been if they'd been really crap today...

and a massively worse team. How bad is that?!?!

Merry Xmas Saints fans: love from the board, management & players.

I'd love to see Roy Keane discussing the term 'work ethic' with David McGoldrick.

Wasn't too early when you first posed the questiom; absolutely necessary now.

Knowledge or wishful, wishful thinking?
