So it's Craig David, Lucy Pinder or Gavyn Davies. Think I know where I'd put my money out of those three.

Just seen that Robson-Kanu actually broke his arm against us on Sunday. How did he manage it? Only saw one replay but looked to me like he kicked his own wrist with his follow through.

I used to be like you. Then I realised all the accidents I heard about only ever happened to other people so I stopped worrying about it.

Everton now looking for a keeper to put pressure on Pickford (christ knows how bad he would look if he felt under pressure!) Well, as we're already talking to them anyway .....

For someone who takes his Fantasy Team pretty seriously this season so far is proving an absolute nightmare. In the real world it's looking like it could be the most enjoyable and interesting season for god knows how long, certainly since the PL started.

Is it tempting fate to suggest it's time to lock this thread?

"Hey Google, What day is it tomorrow" Usually pretty reliable

Shhhhhh. No news is good news when it comes to Saints and negotiations. And be patient, tomorrow is Friday

That paper (I've omitted the "news" part) seems to have 4 recurring themes Weather prdiction - Hottest/Coldest/Wettest/Stomiest Princess Diana Cancer - prevents/causes (often what prevents it then causes it a few months later and vice versa) House prices to plummet/surge I'm sure that it's in the editor's contract that all 4 have to be headlined at least one a month Back on topic, even if it snows it's not that difficu;t to clear a pitch or prevent it getting covered in the first place. Most postponements seem to be for the safety of fans in and around the stadiums (stadia ??) No fans, fewer reasons to call a game off.

Pointless comment. The same applies if we do nothing. Every business transaction carries some element of risk, if it didn't no company would ever fail. Conversely no company would ever grow beyond average either.

Confused me too, that's why I posted it. Should have been a line saying "Can someone explain how/why?" but couldn't be arsed to try and edit it on my phone. I can only assume it means the debt would be his (or his companies) so technically not SFC debt, but secured by his shares in club and/or club assets which would then pass to lender in case of default. Presumably they (lender) could then decide to recover costs asap (firesale) or continue running club in attempt to recoup money long term.

From Dan Sheldon's article about this potential takeover in The Athletic... " If DaGrosa borrows money to buy Southampton, will that not put the club at risk if it goes wrong? In theory, no. Because Southampton aren’t a publicly listed company, buyers won’t be able to use the club as leverage like the Glazers did with Manchester United. DaGrosa would need to have the capital already in the bank before Gao could sell. Because of this, any money lent to him would not be held against Southampton, it will be the American’s concern."

Complicated? Of course it's complicated. It's the Southampton Way. We don't do things simple.

Thought Steve may have cracked it but been really bad again the last few days. Don't know which is more annoying, not being able to get on at all, or getting on but finding no new posts to read since last time you managed to as nobody else has been able to get on either.

Seem to get on every time now. The initial page load seems to hang about 30 secs before any, thing appears but once it's loaded swapping between topics/next page etc as quick as could hope for. Not sure what you've done to it @stevegrant but it's a 👍 from me* *Subject to review after today's match thread gets going

I can't get into the bedroom, but that's down to the wife, I'm not blaming @stevegrant for that one.🤣

I take it back, looks like I DID get very lucky, that way hasn't worked since I posted it.

I'm getting very luck then.The Google route has worked for me so far every time I've tried it, even when direct link doesn't.

Similarly, unable to get on via direct link in about 20 attempts today, but Google Saintsweb Forum, click on the relevant link there and straight in.

@stevegrant is there any info you need from our end about what we get and when - eg I sometimes get bad gateway, sometimes get blank page message - that may help you trace problem? Does your "end" just show there's a problem or do you see what we are seeing , or not, as the case may be .

Not wanting to be accused of stating the bleeding obvious, but it's not good is it !

Talksport usually spout a load of nonsense but this time I am choosing to believe them. Great news if true, not only because it means we keep a great player, but also another example of players wanting to be part of Ralph's plan .

Nothing new. That's just life in general for me

Could he be his secret love child? And did he make a promise to the boy's mother he'd sort him out with a decent job when he grows up?
