Joe Michalczuk ‏@joemichalczuk All these people doubting my fan credentials? Ironic considering the disciples you follow regularly don villa, Celtic and rangers shirts?! A closet Villa fan? Now, who could he be talking about there I wonder....

Yep, those damn pesky creditors always pestering for some of their stolen c.£150m cash back....whatever next?

It's happening I reckon...just slowly behind the scenes...not a great spectator sport at the moment granted...

@Minarzouki: Update on Astori to Southampton from Italy.Reports suggest offer to Cagliari is approx €10m. Offer to player is 2m a year net for 3 years. @Minarzouki: @alex_gray123 He combines brilliance with madness. Technical, expert at the slide tackle but susceptible to yellow/red cards @ADBX85: @Minarzouki he's also a target of acmilan. right now his agent, vigorelli, is having a talk with galliani at milan hq @Minarzouki: @andy38kirby @alex_gray123 Agent conducting talks with other interested clubs. We'll know more tomorrow

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17547804 Southampton have revealed that £33m of loans invested in the club by the estate of former owner Markus Liebherr will not have to be paid back. Southampton FC Chief financial officer Gareth Rogers: "The loss incurred to date is absolutely beneath what we expected, so perverse as it sounds, we're pleased with that size of loss," he said."I am absolutely confident fans need not be concerned about the future financial stability of the club. "Nothing has changed operationally or strategically with Markus not being here. Nicola will drive the club forward and has every plan to do so."

How many Gods are there FFS?

Found it....from initial creditor's meeting on 26th March.... I assume "CSI" will be represented by Andronikou? I also assume that "Genesis" doesn't mean Phil Collins?

Yep, that could be it. I can't recall off the top of my head what people/companies that committee comprises of, and who the chair is (PKF? Or is it independent of the administrator?). The following participants rings a distant bell: Portpin, HMRC, Baker Tilly, Some geezer from a local Pompey company representing the smaller creditors, the PFA.... any others?

You have nicely highlighted the difference between Pompey and Saints fans. It's healthy to question how things are being financed and we should continue to do so. On the balance of probability and circumstance we've got far less reason to question where our money is coming from and how wisely it is being 'invested' but we'll still ask pertinent questions rather than be ignorantly content as long as we're winning FA Cups that we can't afford. Sanctimonious? Me? You bet...

Official creditors meetings are usually advertised in the London Gazzette.... just had a check online and nothing lodged by PKF for a meeting tomorrow..... maybe it's the creditors getting together off their own backs rather than it being a meeting organised by the administrator? Or maybe the newspaper report it was in made it up? Who knows...?

Bloody hell...has someone spiked the water down there with common sense serum....? http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/marko-no-go-for-pompey-1-4651192

Very good

Cheers for the snippets of inside info. Reading between the lines that sounds more like "months" than "weeks" for Lallana then.

Looked more like an own goal to me anyway

Dreadful highlights from ITV as per usual. They only flashed up captions for the Chelsea subs and no Saints interviewees afterwards. Yes, I know Chelsea won and this warranted more coverage but...

Well, he got a round of applause from the Kingsland when he came on!

Indeed - several blatant shoves in the back on Rodriguez in the first half went unpunished yet the first time Yoshida has a nudge at one of their forwards Dean blows up...

On the train home. Saints on top for half hour then Chelsea started oozing class. Jack Cork is not a right back. Nuff said.

Yep, another dead leg - but not as serious as before according to Adkins at the time...

No Ramirez??

@officialsaints: Saints substitutes: K. Davis (GK), Hooiveld, Reeves, De Ridder, Lee, Lambert, Mayuka. #saintsfc
