I'm thinking of going to Colchester v Saints on Boxing Day. Anyone been to their new ground before? I reckon there could be a good turn out for this one, especially as Boxing Day falls on a bank holiday this year.

Indeed. Case closed.

So, just to clarify, how many people do I need to convince that green is blue before it becomes common enough to be deemed true by the great ambivalent English speaking nations of the world? I use the Oxford English Dictionary definitions for what is right or wrong in the English language. Call me old fashioned. "Trousers" "Yes?" "You're old fashioned"

Oh yes it will....

Deep sigh.... Ok....for the hard of understanding......One last time..... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Sunday?jss=1 And while we're at it..... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Boxing+Day FFS http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ffs

Fret ye not. If Cortese is as shrewd a business man as he appears, he'll convince Leibherr to splash out a few hundred grand and buy Le Fondre just before the game thus stiffling any threat that Rotherham may have been able to muster. Saints will then make a similar sum of cash from a plum tie in the 4th round so Leibherr ends up net even on the deal. Win-win.

Agree. Bit of a non brainer really. League HAS to be priority until it's mathematically impossible to reach the playoffs. Next question.

I know it's not the done thing to criticise Pardew but I don't understand why some (most?) managers arbitarily rule out playing a player because they "don't fit into my vision". Surely it's a manager's job to get the best out of the players at his disposal at any given moment in time? Pardew himself seems to indicate that there is no 'attitude' problem with Saga so why rule him out because of some intangible 'vision'? When motivated, Saga is a good international player. Either Pardew can't motivate him or he's unmotivatable. Pardew suggests that it's not the latter. Perhaps I'm missing something? edit: just read the thread after posting and see that I'm not alone in thinking this. Baton down the hatches.

When will the second part of the prophecy come true Phil?

How much energy (gross) has been used in the creation of this thread thus far?

Indeed. The rules about declaring 'official' attendee numbers was changed relatively recently I seem to recall. Can't remember the ins and outs of it but the emphasis shifted from 'over-estimating' to 'under-estimating'...as you say 'for tax reasons'....or so I heard....

A semi-colon would work better between the first and second part of your post.

If the 'registration of interest' by city councils in the summer was 'committment free' then I don't understand why Southampton CC didn't register an interest regardless of the uncertain situation with the club at the time. If there was nothing to lose at that stage then surely you register interest and take it from there? Unless, perhaps, it then committed them to start funding their bid campaign ahead of today's decision? Whilst I still beleve England won't win the bid I think there's a whopping oversight by the council here. (it is the council rather than the club that registers an interest isn't it?)

If the level of service being provided by a supplier doesn't match the level of service advertised at time of purchase then one is entitled to a refund. Consumer law and all that.

England won't win the 2018 bid. HTH

Cracking band. Freddie, you are dearly missed. Of course we need to retain the monarch FFS. Discuss my arse.

FFS.... It's only a planet. A mere collection of molecules hurtling through the universe at over 258 mph. Why do human beings have this tiresome desire to project their own self conceived 'intelligence' on existance. Goodness gracious.

Anyone know the number of clean sheets in each league thus far this year? (I.e. Prem, CCC, league 1 & 2) I would put a (very) small sum of money on the number of clean sheets across all teams decreases the lower down the leagues one looks. Or, there again, I could be a misguided and irrelevant fool.

Good Lord

Now you tell me! Could have done with that info 2 years ago! ;-)

Sad news indeed. His 'involvement' in Saints c.April/May 2007 is a period of Saints history that will stay with me for a long time - many a happy evening hunting down his boats and planes! And, from what Cortese said in the press a few months ago, it was the Allen 'story' that first alerted him to our football club. So, in a small, indirect, 'butterfly in bangkok' way, mr Allen helped saved our club. Good luck Sir

Either way, I think Pardew needs to seriously rethink his cup vs league strategy. Just a humble opinion.

Not even a tincey wincey little smidgen?

Someone convince me that putting out more or less the same team twice in one week when we didn't need to is concentrating 100% on getting out of this league
