Pat from Poole

That's a very good point. I believe Cheats FC sold Pearce to Boscombe in 2007, well before their financial problems hit big time. Why should they be allowed to continue to reap the benefit of a sell-on clause following administration? (I expect somebody to now say that we benefited from a sell-on clause after going into administration ourselves - Leon Best maybe?)

Branfoot sending Jimmy Case down to Boscombe in his first few days as Saints manager was a pretty bad start to a far from glorious reign.

I'm no great fan of Seaborne, but I seem to recall that the 4-4 game at Peterboro was played on a pretty windy night, and he may have misjudged the ball played through for CMS as the strong wind caused the ball to move unpredictably. They were difficult conditions for anybody to defend in.

He's a proper centre-half, him. He'd be a really good signing for Saints. He stormed the Boscombe Player of the Year awards.

Why don't you just give it up? Personally, as the father of a disabled child, I find his past comments abhorrent. And if he's such a good manager, why has nobody pushed the boat out to persuade him to give up the easy life in Spain?

Good point. There is also the issue of the 40 minutes of highlights every Saturday evening on SKY's Football First, I guess.

I'm fairly sure it was the same Bishops that sponsored Cheats FC.

Ah sorry, Taffmeister. Will reach for coat.

A Cheating Skate, who is with that perennial WAG Danielle Lloyd. No ta.

Nearly went to Newcastle in January for a salary of about £40,000 a week, if memory serves.

I believe he has a tattoo on his arm saying "DALE", in case we (or perhaps he himself) are unsure who he is. I seem to recall that most unhelpfully he wore long-sleeved shirts when playing for Saints (hiding said tattoo), so allied to his fairly anonymous performances for us, it would admittedly be fairly difficult to pick him out.

I want Clifford back, so that we can have Socrates in midfield and Romario up front.

I definitely see Leicester and Burnley being in the top six. I think Howe will have Burnley a stronger side next season. As well as them, I'd say Birmingham, Leeds, Reading or Swansea, and then any one out of Forest, West Ham and Saints. It's going to be a pretty competitive League.

But Connolly is an absolute class act, with Barnard injured he was our last hope last season and he came good big time. I think he is still a definite HCDAJFU, there aren't many players available as good as him.

Weirdly I went to the 2-2 away game but missed the replay at The Dell. The away game was a really good game actually, quality bundle in the away end for Egil's late equaliser.

He is originally from near Bournemouth, I believe.

I thought the hapless drunk Burley sold Mills, along with all our other good young players.

Sensible move by Saints. Good work.

Rodney Marsh is a *****, but that is admittedly quite funny.

I wouldn't be so sure. If the man said that Tottenham was going to be his last job in club football, then you can be sure there will be another one to follow. I should imagine that Chelsea's plush training ground in Cobham is an easier drive than Spurs' training ground. Plus he has an ego the size of Dorset, and if the Russian wants to give him a megabucks salary, Spurs should be on the lookout for another manager.

All I know about Halford is that he has a Delap-type stupidly long throw.

Liam Lawrence would be an excellent signing. Two for the price of one; a player with a real presence in midfield, and the Cheats fans would be distraught.

I would be surprised if the season ticket numbers were greatly up on this season's number. There will still be very few games that would sell out (Cheats FC, Leeds, West Ham if they come down), so people won't need a season ticket to get in to the vast majority of games. I would still expect a lot of people to be picking and choosing the games they go to, there hasn't been a sudden upturn in the economy to make people feel more secure about their future financial well-being.

Williamson is a thug.
