How happy will Cortese be if we don't beat the bottom side at home today?

Don't Stockport need wins in their position?

Still, we'll walk this league next year....

we haven't bought any decent midfield link players in the window yet...

The forthcoming August is 'this' August not 'next' August. In the same way the forthcomng Monday is 'this' Monday, not 'next' Monday. HTH

I'd rather we got some specialists than 'jack of all trades'

Haven't had time to read the entire thread so apologies for any duplication in my observation... The 'problem' with someone of Cortese's calibre and business acumen is that he is always going to be head hunted and he's only got where he has today (to coin a phrase) by moving from company to company from board room to board room on a fairly regular basis. These high flyers simply don't hang around longer than they need to to progress their careers. The irony is the quicker Cortese achieves success here the quicker his exit will be....so a potential end game we're looking at here is Cortese gets us into the Premiership in record time, he then leaves with a tasty bonus and Markus follows suit having achieved his goal. I guess 'what happens next' after that will depend on who Markus sells up to.... Anyway, all that's too far in the future....let's enjoy the ride while it lasts....

This. Surely the only 'win win' solution? i.e we get a complete home end and it's next to the away supporters.... Mange tout Rodney, Mange tout

I lol'd

If we get a draw at all remaining "hard places to go" will will not reach the play-offs. It's the "hard places to go" that we need to start winning at if we're going to reach the playoffs.

Merrington: "Saints are comfortably in mid-table" Eh?

I didn't think we had any ITKers anymore....

Yup

Saints hit post?

We're going to wembley 4 times! Maybe

I'll be there in spirits.... :-)

Anyone going to The Swan at Woolston after the game? (apart from St David.... )

Are you a giraffe...?!

1-1

Shall I take that as a 'no' then? p.s. don't forget to listen to COAST on Radio Solent tomorrow morning - playing Saints anthem 'Colours' live on the Sally Taylor show p.p.s. Oh, and they're also playing at the Swan in Woolston tomorrow night....see you there.... http://www.coastrock.co.uk (cheers for the reminder MB.... )

Looking at his stats on Wiki, he hardly ever played a first team game for his previous sides (mainly loans from spurs). What suddenley made him prolific at Southend? Anyway, good signing.

I thought you were describing Connelly for a moment there...hmm, interesting precedent...

Robbie Fowler looking to end his career in England...CHDAJFU in this league? Double page spread in today's Daily Mail ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1245126/In-Gods-country-Robbie-Fowler-wizard-Oz-lost-golden-touch.html )...aged 34....playing well in Australia...grown up - no longer a disruptive influence....probably at League One level now...could be the 'talisman' we're looking for? A hark back to the halcyon days of the 80s when we signed ex-england players in the twilights of their career...?

Ice rink? Sounds like a Skate wind up to me.....

Me and Pards....two peas in a pod.....
