Nice one SFC... An even better idea would be to issue multi game 'passes' - i.e. 5 game pass; 10 game pass; 15 game pass...etc...that can be used at anytime during the season and not necessarily for consecutive games - a bit like a Disney theme park pass I guess (not that I'm trying to compare SFC with Mickey Mouse I hasten to add!) That way, the club gets a bit of cash up front and the punter gets a flexible pass with a few quid discount thrown in for good measure....

Good old Gordon Brine (take everything he says with a pinch of salt. Brine....salt...see what I did there? Nice one Trousers....have a plum)

Am Googling that scenario as we speak. Will be back with a picture shortly.....

So, will Gordon Brown now change his views on "novices" coming into power....or will he maintain his usual level of hypocrisy?

Sounds like Gasmi had a good game despite lack of match fitness.... I've still got this gut feel that when Gasmi and Schneiderlin start playing together in the first team we'll start seeing some consistency in our performances overall. As I say, not a scientific view, just a hunch.

Don't be so harsh on yourself

More memory invigoration..... Wasn't the "Salz" consortium separate from the "Fulthorpe" consortium, albeit from the same 'side'? i.e. the former was supposedly waiting in the wings should the latter fail - some sort of gentleman's agreement that one wouldn;t step on the toes of t'other? So, perhaps the answer to my "What's changed?" question is that the protracted approach of the Fulthorpe consortium has finally collapsed leaving the Salz cavalry free to do what they were planning to do a year ago? On the Line: Rich Brit has eyes on £40m Saints Last updated at 22:39 22 December 2007 Southampton are close to agreeing a £40 million takeover and, just for a change, the investor is British. Sources close to the deal confirm that a London-based businessman, who is one of the country's 200 richest people, hopes to complete the transaction by mid-February. This follows extensive work behind the scenes by Leon Crouch, who is back in role of football club chairman. The new regime could effectively be in control by mid-January, in time to use further cash to pay the wages of Premier League players who have been lined for loan deals. It is promising news at the end of another week of turmoil at the Championship club. The executive group of Jim Hone, Ken Dulieu and Andrew Oldknow resigned in protest at shareholders' refusal to sell out to SISU Capital, who have now agreed to buy into Coventry. As delicate negotiations continue with shareholders, including the group led by former chairman Rupert Lowe which speaks for 29 per cent, Crouch should soon be assisted in the rescue mission by lawyer turned banker Anthony Salz, a former BBC vice-chairman and a lifelong Southampton fan. He is set to become acting chairman of the plc." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-504188/On-line-Rich-Brit-eyes-40m-Saints.html

What's the difference between Salz and Co mobilising themselves now compared to when they were mobilising themselves 12-18 months ago? Lots of mobilising, little action. Why should we believe that Salz attending the next home game is any more or less significant than all the other games he's attended over the last 18 months when his appearances were supposedly ushering in a new dawn.... What's changed (in your honest opinion) ? cheers

When was the last time we fielded an unchanged line-up?

Just noticed that Kelvin Davis joined in the 3rd goal celebrations....that's got to be the quickest he's ever come off his line, surely?!

lol

Is that an upmarket version of 'dogging'?

"The former-Fulham manager Chris Coleman said, "Southampton passed the ball around as well as anyone in the league. You can see the Dutch mentality that has been brought to them by their manager. They play without fear. For the first 15 minutes at the Ricoh we couldn't get the ball off them. I admire Southampton for how they try to play. A lot of the football in this division is physical and it's all about long balls and second balls, but they're not like that and for me they are the best passing team in the league." http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=10818 Surely even TSW can't turn that one into a negative.....can we....?

Good to see a club with a sense of humour....perhaps we should sign their Number 13...? http://www.readingfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10306~19591,00.html
