Which only serves to make it funnier.

As any club that has been involved with trouble in recent years will testify though, the majority are always tarnish by a rowdy minority. They could destroy the positive impression the wider public has regarding your fanbase for years to come, after all, there's a media story to be had!

Peter Storey? Mark Jacobs? Sacha Gaydamak? Ali Al Faraj? One of the 7 home fans at Fratton for the cup third round?

Mark Jacob not being able to give any answers that would help. lol at Al Faraj's brother not knowing the offside rule until coming to games this season. And the 40 million into the club is only loans. - Direct from Jacob's mouth.

No f**king way!? When that march descends into chaos all sympathy in the larger media will dissappear instantly.

Hi Mate Cheers for your opinion. Hopefully he will do well for us and it sounds like you have resigned yourselves to losing him. Out of interest, how do you rate Cranie? Oh, and as a Saints fan in Cov I may be up at the Ricoh tomorrow cheering on a Skate defeat. All the best.

I share your concern, mainly because for us to be behaving like this right now is slightly vulgar considering the current economic condition. It seems we are currently guaranteured by Markus Leibherr and as such our finances are secure, but it is all part of a long term plan, a loss leading period so we can get to the Premiership. I would worry if that period lasts too long, but until that event occurs I am enjoying the ride.

See, that doesn't fit too well with me. Pardew doesn't strike me as the type of manager to take a player on to work outside of his most comfortable position, if we do sign both Danns and Stock I would feel its because Pardew will think they are better then what we have in that position or will supply depth. I wouldn't expect one of them to be shifted out wide.

That idea would then fit in with Pardew prioritising strength in depth in the middle of the park. A bid for a new RB should surely follow later in the window. Also, I always had Danns down as a more central player, does his playing history involve him playing on the right?

Good shout on Harding, he has made some excellent forward runs this season although his positional sense at the back is considered by some to be a weakness.

We would be doing what we are doing now. Attracting players from a higher league who have been proven at that level without being outright stars. Lower prem standard performers in the World Cup would be within our reach.

It is fantastic to have us linked to so many players this window, but on the whole they seem to be central players and we have so far not been linked to any wingers or wide players that we seemingly quite urgently need. Particularly a Left winger and Right back. So, with us after 2 centre backs (1 obtained) and 2 central midfielders (still only 'allegeded') then it could indicate we are focusing on strengthening the middle of the park and there can be only two explanations for this. 1) That is seen as the first priority and there is still time in the transfer window to get a RB and LM in. 2) We are adjusting our system to cater for these new signings. Could a formation along the lines of this be something we see in the future?: -------------------- Davis --------------------- ------- Fonté ------ Jaidi -------- Ward -------- James ---------------------------------- Harding ----------------- Schneiderlin ------------------- ----- Stock ----------------------- Danns ------ ---------- Lambert ---------- Connolly ---------- As for other players.... Antonio, offers a switch to 4-4-2 if needed? Lallana, can provide a support striker of another wide option for 4-4-2? Waigo, Scary quick striker still and can be a foil for Lambert? Hammond, Straight swap for any midfielder?

Can't find any records for him, this website is nontheless useful though. http://www.eufo.de/football/eng/2004/soutn_fc.htm

Yes Was part of the Yeovil team that got to the Play-off final a few years ago and then the next season was a key part of the Forest team that got automatic promotion.

2 to Malawi, awesome header from a freekick. And all in glorious HD on Eurosport.

It was a person to person message, it would not have been public.

Either a premature move by the website admin or a genuine mistake. We will find out soon enough i'm sure.

Then why does the hot linked scrollable squad menu work? Is the data on the OS fed from a central database, could one of the links be corrupted?

Can play on the left wing, very skillful and would be a good capture. Doubt he would drop to League 1 though.

He was. I remember seeing him play v Cov Reserves at Nuneaton back in 2004. Handy little player. According to Wikipedia (so make of it what you will) Nottingham Forest released him on the 10th December. Free signing!?

Seems he is out of favour and was loaned to Brighton earlier this year. Could be the player 'not doing so well elsewhere' that Pardew was on about! We certainly need a winger!

That is bizare!

Nothing wrong with supplying help to those that need it, but I hope that there are safeguards to prevent abuse by the minority (at least, hope they are just a minority) who could abuse the concept ruining it for everyone. Investment in public library facilities would probably have been a better use of resources though in my opinion.

How will the first team squad and manager being away effect us in our efforts to sign players?

That hasn't been photoshopped at all!
