Yes, but all Cortese had to do was convene a press conference in early/mid January with him, Adkins and chamberlain to reiterate, and make it 100% clear, that chamberlain was going nowhere. He could have nipped the speculation in the bud (again) but decided to leave the press to pedal their speculation throughout the transfer window. Yes, I know he had already made it clear in December but he should have overtly reiterated it whennthe newspaper articles hit fever pitch in January IMHO of course

"What have Brighton got that we haven't?"

Ah.....Great minds....! ;-)

I'm not convinced he passes the earlobe test though.....

officialsaints Saints FC RT @Ryn_Bru: he's wrapped up in the middle with the hat, scarf and club jacket. Doesn't look like Nicola though. #saintsfc

Was he booing Forte?

officialsaints Saints FC Those asking about the Chairman being in the Northam last night, it's true! Can you spot him in 7th photo? -> http://bit.ly/g54Mch #saintsfc

He got top marks for artistic impression.....

Phew. I was beginning to think it was only Tory traffic being throttled. Not that anyone on here would want to throttle the Tories.... :-))

P.s. Good to hear Gobern did well. I've often wondered if he had the capability required to break into the team but it appears he may just be starting to make an impression. Good news.

Maybe, just maybe, our perceived lacklustre performances against 'lesser' opposition is simply the players instinctively (or otherwise) playing in a lower gear to prevent burn-out, injuries, etc, in preparation for a hell-for-leather push for promotion in the last quarter of the season? Maybe this is what we're starting to witness the beginning of with Bournemouth - i.e. They could be starting to run out of steam. Time will tell.

Upon which cheek?

I have faith in the British public to react in an intelligent and pragmatic fashion rather than resort to the base human instinct of turning disagreements into a bun fight....ah, hmmm.....yes...sorry...I see your point now....

I wash my clothes in a washing machine rather than take them down to the local brook in a bucket. I drive a car to work rather than use a horse and cart. I use a flushing lavatory in my house rather than a cesspit at the bottom of the garden. I watch my football team in comfort. It's called 'progress'

Both of those games are potential banana skins away to Brentford and Sheffield Wednesday respectively. That said, both Posh and Huddersfield have what look like home bankers this weekend. Swings and roundabouts I guess

Hi. Was fine in first half then went very slow in 2nd half. My BBC and Saints Player streams were fine so no problems with bandwidth my end. No database errors though...just the browser hanging and/or timing out. Seems a bit odd that some of us seem to be affected quite badly and others noticed no problem at all....?

We're not very good at raising our game against the weakest sides but tend to raise our game against the stronger teams. IMHO. Ergo, I feel confident our performance on Saturday will far outstrip tonight's.

Full time: Exeter 2 Bournemouth 0 Game on....
