Liking the analogy, particularly if it incorporates us selling those 65p jars of Pickles on match days. With so much money in the game, spending smarter rather then harder certainly has obvious merit. But, why are we the only ones who on the surface seem to be doing this?

Just watched those videos after getting in from the office. They really are quite something and provide emphasis of just how fortunate we are to have been embraced by such a benevolent owner and family. All the terrible vitriol directed at Katharina over the summer, a dreamwrecker, an asset stripper. No, just a woman who clearly misses her father dearly and wishes to respect his wishes and legacy. With this kind of considered vision and care towards how we are run I see no reason why we cannot continue to improve further in all areas.

The only Saints supporting F1 driver?

Happy with that. Would have been nice to have it at home though.

Kelvin beaten at the near post? Never! Just an incredible journey we have been on.

Hot on the heels of Pochettino supposedly asking Levy to sign Jay Rodriguez. There's some games happening behind the scenes. The pressure can work both ways.

The league cup is probably the most winnable competition we enter, yet a defeat wouldn't surprise me. Thanks to a neighbour and family friend being a Stoke fan I'll go for the home league win.

Makes sense to underplay how much money we would have to spend. It makes sense to avoid being held to ransom if possible.

Quite simply. That is ********

Wonderful story, glad you had such a great time and thank you for sharing. There really is such a good aura about things right now.

Meh, ancient history now.

You still care about that? Grow up son.

They didn't do one for the first year in league one but I have the season reviews for every year since on my shelves. And DVD for this match? Yes, has to be.

I'm looking forward to the official club DVD/BluRay.

Then we are in agreement.

And just to clear up from our side, you will keep saying inflamatory things in a self defeating effort to fight Artur's corner, yes? That statement is a disgrace, ignores the many comments of disappointment in Artur leaving yet also shows continued disdain for a club legend. You have no class, i'm tired of your continued trolling. I have no ill feeling for Artur but you can do one.

I have spent my own money and travelled to watch it, women's internationals and club level when I lived in the midlands. Same level as my season ticket, no, but still good money. There is no 'as opposed to football in general.' It is simply football. What you would judge as PR (Saints possibly reintegrating the womens team) others would consider common sense, retaking control of a team that plays with our club's name in one of the fastest growing sports in the world.

Which is fair play. But to be so adversarial against people playing, enjoying and appreciating the game of any category is something I simply cannot understand.

Ahem: To which you responded fair enough. Now, as i've been indulging you, answer: Why do you dislike it so much that you need to challenge those that enjoy it?

For the reasons I mentioned earlier. Why do you dislike it so much that you need to challenge those that enjoy it?

It's all good. And I enjoy watching a category that exists in it's own right (Women's Super League) as part of it. Going back to a political point The9 raised, the forced relegation of Doncaster Belles was awful, vulgar in every respect. Cannot agree with it, but as the top level of women's football i'm glad it's getting exposure and can be watched.

Yes, there have been games at park level (good description The9) that I have gained more enjoyment from then professional games which required paid entry. I just enjoy watching football. Better a 5-5 draw then a 0-0 grind at any level when it comes to teams I have no bias towards.

When it comes to teams I don't really care about that's all I want. Best not to dwell on significance because all sport is utterly facile and irrelevant when it comes to the fundamentals. On it's own basis women's top flight football is entertaining. Throw in a Saints ladies team at the top level and it would be even better.

If you unfairly compare it to men's football then yes. But taken on it's own merits it can still be enjoyed, like any level of football. It's still two teams going for it to win, that in itself provide a spectacle,. I really enjoyed watching the last day of the Women's Super League. One of the Manchester City players scored a truly wonderful goal in their surprise win over Chelsea. Just a shame that the scousers prevailed but twas good drama.

Yep, Enjoyed the pint even more when Hughie Fisher and Jim Steele turned up and humoured my fanboy leanings in the Gaolhouse afterwards! An excellent evening Duncan, enjoyed it immensely. Superb effort from all concerned.
