Looks like shiť or bust time has arrived. Risky strategy to take on the FL, so clearly there is no buyer unless the sanctions are lifted. Not just the points, that's the least of their worry. Also interesting to resort to pleading on the OS. They could have just asked Baker Tilley nicely for the information they want. Or maybe they did. I can see vans out all over Portsea with those megaphone loudhailers on the roof, searching desparately for last-minute creditors.

Are you Fred Dineage?

Here's one to accompany your dessert...

You may well turn out to be right sir. We'll see.

I know it's only a minor observation but good to hear him saying "we" rather than "they" already when talking about the club.

It can't be true....nothing on his Twitter account.... https://twitter.com/JeremainLens

Goal at 1:00 = "OMG!"

Symptom or cause....?

Looks like he's not an out-and-out 'striker' as such.... "He has scored 19 goals in the two seasons, playing either behind the main striker or out wide."

150-1 to finish top 4..... http://www.skybet.com/football/premier-league/event/14024397

I see Man City are 1-7 odds on to beat us on the opening day of the season. With Saints 14-1 to win. 11-2 the draw.

Although we, together with Reading, are the longest odds to finish in the top half.

Just been on the site. The 12/13 is the season years (i.e. 2012 and 2013). Saints are 7-1 to finish top half, here: http://www.skybet.com/football/premier-league/event/14173594

If that's 13-1 to finish top half I'm having a slice of that. I'm still convinced we'll finish top 8 (said the man who predicted auto promotions the last two seasons....)

I'm already bracing myself for that one in a few months.

I'm convinced (in a 'just a hunch' kinda way) that Adkins will have Ward-Prowse in the starting line-up vs City. I'm getting the impression during pre-season that he's being fast tracked into the 'first 11' for this coming season. That said, who I would drop to accomodate him I haven't a clue!

^This I know it's a much worn cliche, and gets a drubbing on here whenever someone dares to mention it, but when you think how far we've come in so little time there's nothing really to moan about in the general scheme of things, is there?
