Sure we have all seen the adverts. Why have they appeared all of a sudden, yes it is a valuable commodity now (more so then ever...) and they will be buying up and selling onto someone themselves, but who would it be? Is it the governement trying to replenish our reserves? Jewlers trying to buy up on the cheap? I'm curious, anyone have any ideas?

Eh? Waigo? (Serie A) Antonio? (The foot of the Championship?)

Bugger all snow in Cov, dissapointing really.

I love it. Xmas bonus from work and some time off. In terms of all the frills, well it's for kids isn't it, and who would begrudge them some happy material based memories.

I made the bet with my Boss that Saints will make the playoffs. If we do, he owes me a curry, if we don't I owe him a curry.

Delldays, Merrimd, you are obviously at polar opposite opinion here. It's daft to accuse someone of disliking winning, but equally removing the want to compete at as high a level as possible is also daft. We are winning at the moment because we have an ambitious board who want to get to the higher levels, that also attracts the players who want to better themselves and leaves us in a far stronger position. The two are intrinsically linked, why can't we just enjoy as we are without *****ing about it!

On the subject of John Utaka, pretty sure I saw him in the Cart and Horses in King's Worthy on Saturday night. Typical blonde WAG on his arm. What's the matter, don't they have decent pub/restaurants in the Skate catchment area?

Extremely fair points, and who is to say this couldn't continue in the leagues above?

And are you telling me the likes of Birmingham, Reading, Bolton, Middlesborough and Sunderland have not competed well either in the recent past or right now? Teams like us can get to the Premiership and make an impact, you just have to be well run to do so, at the moment, we are! I am loving it right now, believe me I am, but I still long for the days when we beat the champions at home, thrashed our local rivals to go 4th at Xmas, received masses of respect from people throughout the country and indeed, the world for how we took on the big guns and often kept them honest. If you don't aim high, there is no point in aiming at all.

Yeah, it sounds like sour grapes in a way to me. Regardless of how much we are enjoying it at the moment there is no way in hell people would be dissappointed if we did get promotion to the Prem in a few years or so. As fans we want to see our teams compete at as high a level as possible, that's just a fact!

What the hell? Is that just a regular seat?

HAHA "Please note; As per ebay rules, this item will be laundered to manufacturer's instructions prior to posting"

A great, great shame, I feel for them. Hope they pull through.

Excellent, glad he's got a seat. Hopefully he'll be just as wildly fast as he was for Toyota.

"Lambert and Beckford would make a good pair......" Errrrr, Nicola...... cheque book? I really hope he means what he said there, if we win on Saturday I will be beyond ecstatic.

Thank god the strike failed, having said that I would never risk flying with them again just incase this happens a second time. Unions have their place, but this was just stupid, they tried to be too powerful! You do not get what you want by ruining your customers holiday plans! What you do get is your P45 when the company ceases to exist.

I respectfully disagree. The gesture of giving them the shirt sponsorship was the defining point of the arrangement, donations to charities from clubs is no big deal, it happens fairly commonly and would generate vastly less interest. In this country the shirt deal was unprecidented.

You have ignored the massive exposure it's given to Acorns, far more valuable in many ways then just a big fat cheque. What are the major charities based in/around Southampton?

Bloody hell he did! Ha!

Either a local charity or nothing. It would look great to have a kit like West Brom a year or so ago, just 'clean' and right.

I've done it a few times, 11 am on a saturday, plans have fallen through I will just think, sod it, I'm off to see Saints! Down the M40/A34 I go. Arrive at 1.45, get ticket, quick pint in the King Alfred, jobs a good 'un. Frankly, two whole pounds won't make much of a difference to my decision. Mind you, being given a half season ticket for Xmas will force my hand somewhat.

According to Talksport Watford have suspended all shares, they owe 5 million by the end of today, the Skates will be responsible for a fair chunk of that.

Not over 40, not even over 50. Over 60!!!!!!! There are limits!!!!

15,600 or so. Bet more will be out for a final though.

Do at least quote the entirety of my post before posting your response, your tactical ommisions undermine your point chap. And either way, we won, i'm ecstatic, this is neither the thread nor the place.
