Today will the usual chants from the Northam of "We've got Antonio" be replaced with chants of... "You've got Antonio" or "We want Antonio" ???

Mirror thinks Saints want to bring Dexter Blackstock back. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Southampton-want-to-bring-Dexter-Blackstock-back-to-the-club-from-Nottingham-Forrest-article542195.html

Wasn't me. Even I'm not that sad.

Saint_Lamden, Just think it through yourself, it makes no sense... Why does it matter if the away team are at the stadium or not before 1:30pm? Most away teams turn up at that sort of time anyway. Kick off is at 3pm. Gates will probably open at 1:30pm. The attendance tomorrow won't be large and most won't be in the bowl until 2:30pm or later. Any player unveilings would be in the last 20 minutes before the game starts. If Reading are warming up it doesn't matter. All it takes is the player, match announcer and a guy with a camera on some part of the pitch. If a player does sign and appear on the pitch tomorrow this also doesn't make you right. Throw enough vague rumours around and some will "happen".

That all makes no sense what so ever.

Things getting desperate? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/sheff_wed/8873036.stm

From the OS From google maps...

Well if one part of a rumour is clearly rubbish (Hull City), it puts a huge question mark over the validity of anything else contained in the rumour (Wolves). For example... I had a piggy back ride from Elvis Presley yesterday, when I went to pick up my season ticket said Alpine. The first part is clearly false, which makes you doubt why the second part would be true.

Alan Pardew had an affair with Lallana's girlfriend and is going to start playing football again for Hull City?

He is injured. How was he "absent from pre-season" if he was on the Switzerland tour?

But it is well publisized that Hull City have no money. That raises a lot of doubt in the accuracy of the details of the rumour. Enough I would say to realise it was rubbish.

But you thought it were credible enough to start a thread about it. Hull City have HUUUUUUUUUGE debts.

Do you not realise Hull City are close to imploding financially? Puts a big hole in the credibility of this rumour. Hull can't afford anyone that costs over £1 at the moment. Lallana would cost millions. I also think he would look at Surman and think twice before moving to Wolves. As opposed to only one of them splitting from the relationship?

Have you forgotten Ryan Dickson and Joseph Mills?

MK Dons got 12k for a friendly against West Ham tonight. Which is 2,000 more than their average attendance last season.

1) "New kits tried on at the training ground" is hardly uncommon for football teams. 2) All Umbro club kits are from the tailored range this season. 3) No evidence Saints even made a bid for Calderon apart from his agent. In fact the Saints OS pretty much denied it. If discussions did take place there are only two outcomes, either he signs or he doesn't. So to claim he hasn't signed isn't really much of a punt.

Which rumours that have come true were actually predicted by you before anywhere else Saint_Lamden?

? You say "without speed on the wings" and then name two fast players out wide in the 4-4-2. Puncheon and Dickson are fast.

He said "South Coast". Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay and Brighton are all on the South Coast. As a Plymouth based Saints fans I'm sure you know that.

If England 2018 bid is successful Home Park will be a 46k stadium. It will be too big for them but still gives them something Bournemouth will never have. Even if 2018 isn't successful they are definitely increasing capacity to 27k no matter what. Brighton's new stadium is 22k with room for expansion, and is built to an extremely high spec. Again far more than Bournemouth will ever have.

If I were a Bournemouth fan I'd want him to be at least a little realistic. South Coast clubs are Saints Pompey Brighton Plymouth Exeter Torquay Bournemouth Bournemouth are never going to be able to sustain the crowds of teams like Saints or Portsmouth. Plymouth and Brighton with both have good stadiums over 20k in next couple of years and would also be out of the reach of Bournemouth. Basically 5th on the South coast is the best Bournemouth will ever be.

He has forgotten Exeter, Plymouth and Brighton. Who are all above Bournemouth.

If he has signed for another club then it is impossible for him to return to his plans. So the use of the word "may" is pointless in the way you suggest.
