This imo. Doyen are an investment group - you'd have to think they will want to bank a very healthy profit now instead of possibly a bit more cash at some indeterminate point in the future if all goes well.

Tricky to wield a cattle prod whilst holding a suitcade of cash I imagine

They do that during the contract negotiations / "would you like to sign for us" pitch

Metropolitan areas are totally artificial constructs which just lump together a whole load of disparate towns and villages which happen to be vaguely near each other. South Hampshire is not even a continuous urban sprawl. How does Andover fit into the South Hampshire metropolitan area? or Bognor Regis? They're 70 miles apart and Bognor isnt even in Hampshire. Using that nonsense to claim Southampton is really Metropolitan and bigger than Glasgow, Nottingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Leicester etc etc is desperate. This is the list that counts - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_localities_in_England_by_population

Whoever called them that was dyslexic.

He looked unfit last year and didnt play well. Looks a lot leaner and committed so far this pre-season.

I had doubts in the past weeks because what happened seemed to contradict what we were told / promised by Reed and Krueger. That said I accept the assurances and explanations given since then. If we sign a good CB, additional striker and a backup or first choice goalie we would have had a summer despite the departures and any remaining doubts will have been banished. If we keep £30m or so in the bank for use next summer, even better.

The fact you need to lump us in with Portsmouth, Eastleigh, Gosport, Fareham, Havant, Horndean, Hedge End, Locks Heath, Bursledon and Whiteley in order to get to a significant population demonstrates we're provincial. Southampton is 28th in terms of population of boroughs / Unitary authorities behind swa nky metropolitan Plymouth and just ahead of happening Reading and Derby.

Unless you've got esoteric viewing habits I dont think a smart tv will give you anything you cant get through ther PS3 or BT box - although that said its hard to find a totally dumb one on the market now. Concentrate on getting a great picture and sound. A lot of people seem to overlook the basics in favour of dozens of features they'll never use. How about this? http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/pr/2-2879602/TVs/Philips-46PFL4208T-Reviews

Is that because they've banned high chairs? no shame in being a PORG Goatie

Its alright but its no Weston Shore

I may not be able to support him if he carries on wearing that cap.

Something about bunce and pence would be my guess

Seems odd to go to the effort of flying out there only to have the offer turned down. Threre must have been some soundings taken in order to encourage him to go.

Yes we know, there is nothing you are posting is news to anybody. Did anybody want to lose five key players / prospects? No. Given that they wanted to go and at least two had release clauses realistically was there any other option? no. Blaming people at the club for the realities of modern football is both unfair and tedious when its expressed so often and in so many ways.

Her feet are in the way

No but the clinic nurse did

Maybe - but last year we drew more games than everybody else bar one and had one of the weakest attacks in the second half of the season. This season I think we'll concede more but draw fewer and end up only five or six points down.

Thats says hes just signed it

They're playing at Murrayfield in Edinburgh for some reason

Hope that wasnt expensive

Normally Ralph Krueger draws a straight line and talk about points Ralph A and Ralph B; how they form a single measurable relationship of a shared distance. This distance can be described with a dimension tag, for instance Ralphy 'width'. That kind of thing?

Had to google Will Britt and Chris Johns - both keepers apparently. Six in the squad now even before Forster arrives.
