Interesting. Cheers for posting these stats. So...no Saints manager in recent times has ever got over half the points available to them in their first 10 games. Puts out 'big club' aspirations over the years into glaring perspective....

Aye...apart from that....

Especially when they close the online ticket booking system for several days before the game.....

Ah, ok. Makes sense. I'm paying the price for my ignorance (first time for everything)

A rhetorical question I assume?!

a) This coming Saturday - £500 b) At the end of the season when we need 3 points to get into the playoffs - £10,000 c) As above but swap playoffs for Auto Promotion - £10,000 d) At the end of the season where we need 3 points to avoid relegation- £10,000

Why on Earth hasn't he been recuperating here in the weeks (months?) since we signed him to get familiar with the team, management and facilities? OK, no doubt 'his' medical team are/were based in France but could he not have been transferred to an equally capable medical team here? You can see the next OS article on him now..."Gasmi fit but needs time to acclimatise" I know....a bit of a whinge but there's nowt else to talk about....

Sigh....this will help ticket sales ahead of our next home game...not.......why on earth isn't this sort of thing planned for the summer break? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=10713 "From Wednesday 8th October, Southampton Football Club will be implementing an upgrade to its Ticketing/Database system. This upgrade will provide major enhancements to the business and will take some time to complete. During the upgrade process, the ticket office will be unable to sell "live". This means that both the online and telephone sales functions will not be available. This also applies to the ticket desk within West Quay. The Box Office at St. Mary's will be available. They will be able to sell away games and travel tickets as live, but tickets for home fixtures (and parking) will not be able to be completed at the point of sale. Each customer will be given a receipt for their transaction, and each receipt will be processed in turn when the system is fully available. The upgrade process will be complete on Tuesday 14th October. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this causes"

McGoldrick will join the growing league of ex-Saints strikers who couldn't hit a barn door playing for us but score copiously for their new teams.

So, if £50m would just be enough to turn us into a yo-yo club, what does Lowe and Wilde's combined fortune give us instead? A springless pogo stick in a lake of jelly?

Not sure how a 53% success rate (points gained vs points available) can be seen as promotion form TBH.

I see Scooby was logged in earlier this morning but chose not to post. Just an observation. That's all.

Someone called "Andrew"....apparently....

Jan will sort it out....

Indeed. We need explanations. Fast. It's called 'Customer Service'

Normal service is resumed

We always are after winning two games on the trot

Whoops

No muffins today then?

1 - 0 (to be pedantic)

Whoops

"Keith Harris of Seymour Pierce" That'll be the chap that Saints paid handsomely for 18 months to find us an investor.....or so I heard....

Tammy Wynette?

Lowe: "As a tax exile how much time can Michael Wilde really devote to the affairs of SLH ?" I wonder if he ever found out the answer?

'T' for 'Tommac'? Just a guess. Could be wrong.
