INFLUENCED.COM

Who is this MK you refer to ? I think its fair to say you were premature in your OP and have accepted your fears may be unfounded with the two most recent signings, I think Lamberts signing demonstrates how long it can take someone to get their man even in these lower leagues, AP stated he was tracking him when at Charlton, he may have others in the frame, hopefully 2. My only criticism is of the timing of your OP and as outlined in my first post in relation to this it was all lastminute.com this season and those before were beset with upheaval, hopefully next summer will be different for us

We may well see that when a manager is given a budget for the summer, noone available this summer to set or receive a budget so maybe we will see it next based on our finishing position, when was the last summer that we as a club were not going through some kind of fundamental change ? Why does the signing or leaving of players influence your decision, are you suggesting you would not have renewed if say Rasiak left or you would if Beckham signed ?

Watched that game in the Royal Oak in Millbrook, remember the goal well as a couple of Liverpool fans were mates, didn't remember him though, lets hope in 19 years time I will have something to remember him by.

Negotiations have been going on for some weeks so believe we were focused on him, AP's comment Saturday re looking at the bench MAY have been a nudge for someone to get on with it

Good to see NC/AO executing commercial nous by the timing of the signing, keep up the good work, a signing 24 hours before every game is very welcome !

Along with Al Fahim telling Sasha "you had me at...I don't have to actually pay you anything"

If only we all had access to the source that offered the information he was able to obtain........

Despite many questioning the validity of the bid the man who was charged with finding a new owner, a professional in his field gave the bid credence which included setting up a Saints email address, now if this guy and his company were 'taken in' its quite easy to see how laymen wanting to see the club they love survive were also 'taken in', Fry could have knocked it all on the head early doors had he gone through them with a fine tooth comb, maybe it was not in his financial interest to do so at the time or maybe he did and it stacked up, however, 'he' gave us ML so he did his job, right ?

If he currently has no alternative, with the amount of publicity this 'takeover' has generated then it is unlikely one will present itself after 7 days and even any time thereafter, they are simply not attractive, anyone in a position to assume the kind of debt they have could raise similar amounts and buy a club not saddled with the same and woop woop infrastructure (Yet another apology to Lowe to the right of the article)

Their bell ringing mascot is a TV

Why do you feel the need to defend them in the bragging rights ?

1) No difference financially, I believe after a certain sum it is about ego 2) Newcastle are a big club, right ? City are an example of the wealth needed to compete(top 4) in that league, do you think they'll get the title ? Everton, Villa, big clubs...do they really have an equal chance of trophies, chance by existing but not likely. 3) If the 000's mean nothing then it must be about how you feel about that club

Second time this has been questioned, I suppose to a non fan of his club it would seem he has remained with them so suggests loyalty to his club, I do not doubt money has played a significant role in his staying with that employer but in what walk of life does it not ?

I do not think his 'release' should have been granted, it should have been enough for him that he escaped, to stick his fingers up at the establishment by becoming a celebrity was wholly wrong, with only a small percantage of the money stolen recovered it was only right that a warrant for his arrest remained. There are many old men in prison today and it is too easy to say they are no longer a threat to society, the fact is whether in their prime of life or at a time thereafter they committed a crime that warranted the sentance, murderers, paedophiles, war criminals all age, doesn't make it ok to release them for that reason alone. Biggs is not in any of those categories and as I heard on the radio the other day "Great train robber ? he robbed one train and got caught !!"

Our gearing over that period would not have been excessive, it did not all happen within a couple of years, whilst in the premiership you again will find our books balanced very well, didn't balance too bad during the first season in the championship(I believe), our problems started when we went for promotion and we experienced the high wages 'blip' many years after the stadium was built

Plenty of Isreali soldiers have entered Jordan

Only if you want to have more than three conversations

His biggest beef has to be with the previous regime although I'm sure the reasons for not playing him would have been spelt out, suprised noone came in during his loan spell after all he can save you single handly from relegation, remind us how many times he started for Bristol City and how many he scored ? Thanks for the goals and good luck for the rest of your career, now, any news on any strikers signing ?

Offside !!

"it aint easy bein me" just feel sorry that despite nick catching the ball on various occassions, even holding onto it in attempts to capture camera time didn't gain as much air time, starting to think there is something in this conspiracy thing.

Good shout

I'm suprised you didn't put that in, you were the films director weren't you ? its just that you appear so often ???

Finished watching now, enjoyed it again despite my sour grapes post above( believed it offside at the time in addition to appealing the moment the ball was put through, suggested the same to that linesman when shakeing his hand at full time) take comfort home team that MLT's headed goals and lee_saint only played 45 otherwise could have seen a different result, saw the nutmeg by Griffo, good coverage all in all so congratulations to those involved in producing the dvd, they even managed to capture fos1 useing his right foot !!

Watching the dvd now, paused it to post how wrong nickh has been to criticise dp, believing it was his illegal substitution that won the game, their 'winner' was offside, the goal scorer comes back(slightly) from an offside position to retrieve the ball, I knew there was a reason why I felt we lost unfairly and now through this media I am able to bring closure to the nightmare of walking off the hallowed turf as a loser, the sleepless nights(prolonged due to the release date) in the spare room as I told her we were robbed and she just repeated the score line causing irreparable damage to our relationship, all because the linesman failed to raise the flag, sleep well tonight nickh as what can't speak can't lie, OFFSIDE was the shout from the No.8 with his hand raised as the ball was put through, we do not need the Toffee with the accent to spin the view it is evident on any TV, rewind slow if you like...should you need confirmation he was in an offside position when the ball was put through (although witnessed in real time by those that were close enough)

chavs are not as much a concern as those that will have a 'load' in they're mouths, maybe its something that you'll just have to swallow !
