For a Skate you seem like a reasonable, sensible guy ! Were you switched at birth by any chance ? Anyway, FWIW I appreciate the odd Skate intervention just to keep us on our toes (as long as it doesn't get like the Ugly Inside where it is constant vitriol!).

I'm confident that he'll ensure the burgers are up to standard though, eh ?? It's all about priorities really !

The going rate for developing young players (fixed by previous tribunals) seems to be around £600k (that's what we got for Leon Best) so in a normal market your figure of £700k ought to be about right ! I did read somewhere though that Swansea agreed to a sum of £500k if they were to buy him at the end of the loan period so worstways we should hold them to that !!

x 1

I am desperately trying to figure out how we gained an advantage by loaning out Rasiak, John, Skacel, Dyer and Saganowski then borrowing Robertson, Smith, Gasmi, Peckhart etc.. For all of Rupsey's many faults he did not cheat by trying to buy us out of trouble !! Mr Hearns should save his vitriol for the real culprits of the debt ridden scandals much higher up the divisions than Saints !!!

Christ, the new owner really has some big decisions to make, eh ??

Thanks Scally, we'll give it a try next season unless there is an easier alternative !

Clearly Swansea have been trying to take advantage of our perilous postion but that has now changed and should they still want him then I think that they should be obliged to pay the amount which they agreed at the time of the original loan or just bugger off !

FYI it is Guided Missile !

Having travelled pretty extensively in my working life, you cannot believe how many people around the world associate the city of Southampton with the name 'Le Tissier' ! I met people in Asia (I specifically remember China, Malaysia and the Phillipines) who, when I mentioned I was a Saints fan (and without prompting) responded immediately with simply, 'Matthew Le Tissier' ! My French colleague even tried to claim that he was more theirs than ours (no higher accolade is possible from a Parisian !). I do hope that in my lifetime I see his contribution to SFC recognised in some meaningful way ! When I see some of the arseholes in politics, business etc.. who get awards for so called 'public service' it pales into insignificance to what he has done for our sport in the south of England !

Dear Tony, Please be assured that my bum will be firmly fixed to my seat in block 29 of the Kingsland stand next season and beyond..... Grateful doesn't begin to sum up my feelings right now ! Many thanks !

The BBC block any live content outside the UK ! Perhaps elsewhere in this country you can access it but for sure not abroad !

Cloud cuckoo land ?????

I could never get a signal on the West Wight (not exactly a million miles away!) and even when I used my (top of the range) digital portable radio near to St Mary's the reception was krap ! The only thing I remember about it was the last set of accounts from SLH (when it was The Saint FM ) which informed us that with a turnover of 240k they made a loss of 200k ! It was around about then that I came to the conclusion that Rupert was not exactly the super duper successful business man that he and others claimed him to be ! No great loss IMHO but obviously I feel sorry for those who have lost their jobs as a result !

It was obviously one of those 'slow burning' evil spirits then !

On the same day that the Skates have been bought by an Arab Zillionaire, we can't even pay the staff wages so you really have to wonder if there is a supernatural conspiracy against us ! I really look forward to the day that we are beyond all of this krap and can focus on a simple game of football to excite the soul once again !!! All together now: Our Father who art in heaven ........

That's out of order IMHO !

I'd love to see Rupsey back in football as long as it is not with us !!!

How does this tally with 'Crouch baling us out'! and the 'Dyer depoisit' tiding us over ???

Big improvement then, it was covered in sh1t for most of last season !!

You took the words out of my mouth with that one ! I suppose that it sort of confirms that we desperately needed the money to tide us over otherwise we could have held out for a while !

Wrong, I know for a fact that it is Ben Doon and Phillip McCavity !!

I heard on good authority that Rupert is keen to cast his magic spell down Farton way !! He part of a consortium headed up by John (Bellend) PFC Westwood ! Let's all hope so anyway, eh ??

To the best of my knowledge McManus and Magnier made a good profit when they sold their shares at Man U to the yanks and are about to do the same to Ellis Short at Sunderland ! Given their track record in football and probable personal contact to Mick Channon it all does tend to add up ! 2 + 2 normally = 4 but in this case we are talking about the Saints, so look out for a little leprachaun in the woodpile !!!! Ps. I hope that my punctuation is not too bad ??
