It was hindsight in respect of the fact we "got lucky" with Mr Liebherr buying us, but I would argue there was a fair element of foresight too from those of us who didn't sign up to the "avoid administration at all costs" camp. Yes, it was a big hunch that going into Administration would be the best thing for the club in the long run, but our instinct was that whatever happened as a result it couldn't be worse than the situation we were in before administration (boardroom infighting etc). Even if Mr Liebherr hadn't come along we would still have had a phoenix club to support in a lower league and that, in my opinion, is better than what we had towards the end of the 'three amigos' era. So, yes, an element of hindsight given we ended up with the 'best case scenario' but an equal element of foresight too.

I think we should all be rejoicing that the nasty Tories are turning all cuddly and liberal.... ;-)

People are naturally basing their judgement on whether we should sign players on the strengths and weaknesses of our own team. However, I believe it's more pertinent to look at where OTHER teams challenging for the title are already strong or looking to strengthen and aim to hijack players or deals from those teams. We shouldn't just be looking to strengthen our team but, where possible, weaken our rivals. Easier said than done of course...

@jordansibley: RT @MrSimonWilliams: Today's 4-2 win means #saintsfc have made a better start than QPR last season http://t.co/Wt5Pll7V

Yeah, the BBC reporter was saying throughout the game that Hull were all over West Ham. That's football I guess
