Just seen replay - borderline - he did a jumping lunge with studs up....hmmm, if I wasn't biased I'd say that red may just about have been warranted....

Ffs

No, all the real fans are on here;)

fret ye not. Jan will recognise this and change the formation, tactics, etc....

'Twas working like a dream until kick off!

My gramma won mastermind at butlins

Sfc will always be around.... Just in a different league and with a slightly different name the other side of administration. And it will be all the better for it

Correct. An event lowe could have influenced had he chosen to do so. He is a shrewd business man who can pull the right strings when he wants to...

Far too clever for our club

Then why predict a 2-1 win for Saints in the score prediction thread?

Forward planning? Call me old fashioned. "Trousers?" "Yes" "You're old fashioned" "Thanks"

The bottom line is that the club could have made this happen IF they wanted it to happen. For Christ's sake.....if Aneka Rice can build a monkey sanctury in Botswana within a week, a shrewd businessman like Rupert could operate a fax machine in 5 minutes. He could even have flown over to sort it out IF HE WANTED TO.... .....FFS

Watford fans seem chuffed.... http://www.wfcforums.com/showthread.php?t=26006 Good to see TSW quoted as breaking the news!

Saints winger Nathan Dyer has swapped Sheffield for Swansea following the conclusion of his loan at Sheffield United, joining the Swans on loan until the end of the season. The 21-year old made just three starts during his stay at Bramall Lane and will now be hoping to hold down a more regular place at the Liberty Stadium. He will go straight into Roberto Martinez's squad ahead of their weekend FA Cup tie against Histon. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11165

I was referring to Lowe's quote rather than Dyer's:- Plc chairman Rupert Lowe said: "I am very pleased Nathan has signed for another three years and that he clearly believes in what we are trying to achieve. "He is quick, attack-minded and talented and he fits right in with the way we want to play fast, attacking football with young players coming through.

People aren't questioning Lowe's logic per se, they are highlighting the two-faced quotes he appears to make on the OS. If the renewal of Dyer's contract was a tactical move, why create an OS article where Lowe bestows bucket loads of praise on Dyer rather than just make a business-like passing reference to it? (much like the OS does with any news it wants to slip in quietly....). How are we suppose to trust anything Lowe and/or the OS writes if it should be taken with the same pinch of salt every time? How are we supposed to tell the difference between elaboration and fact? Edit: ok, so Lowe is probably using the OS as a shop-window and his words were intended for the ears/eyes of potential suitors for Dyer...but I still ask how we're suppose to tell the difference between a genuine Lowe quote and one that is 'spin' to sell on players...

Steady....you'll have 'sadoldgit' pointing us in the direction of the Rat Protection League if you're not careful....

Lowe is onto a publicity win-win with this game. Either way it will buy him more time at the helm. You can see the post-match TV interviews now.... A defeat will be heralded as a gallant effort by a young team "heading-in-the-right-direction". Anything better than a defeat will be heralded a spectacular demonstration that the 'plan' is on track (regardless of league performances).

Will be interesting to see how they re-word this quote from the summer: Plc chairman Rupert Lowe said: "I am very pleased Nathan has signed for another three years and that he clearly believes in what we are trying to achieve. "He is quick, attack-minded and talented and he fits right in with the way we want to play fast, attacking football with young players coming through."

'Long time registered/low volume poster who might know something' alert.... Franco Matías di Santo (born April 7, 1989) is an Argentine professional football player who plays as a striker for Chelsea. A transfer from Audax Italiano to Chelsea was confirmed on January 25, 2008 when he signed a four and a half year contract.[2] Di Santo spoke of his excitement at having joined Chelsea and his eagerness to prove himself, as Franco holds an Italian passport he was immediately eligible to become part of their team. Franco's younger brother, Diego is a prospect for River Plate.
