I'd imagine that the club would go for a really big side for this years Ted Bates Trophy as it is the 125th year. It would be a good way to open the season even if there was a high fee to get them to play it would be recouped if the draw of a big team attracted a crowd in the high 20k's like Bayern Munich did at St Mary's.

I can't see it and I've looked REALLY hard. I hope he proves me wrong but is possibly Pardew's only mistake in the transfer market so far.

Nathan Dyer is a regular (35 starts) in a Swansea side that is in the Playoffs of the Championship. He is and was a good player imo

I can understand people saying Antonio and Jones are similar in that they are raw talents. However they are certainly not the same type of player. Kenwyne is a striker and his main attribute is his aerial ability. Antonio is very much a winger and not that good in the air.

...and with a much better goal difference COME ON MILLWALL ON FRIDAY NIGHT!

They were in the same amount of sh!t. Pompey eased their problems with administration. Southend haven't taken that route.

Would be conditional on a number of factors which they haven't yet met.

You don't need to be in the Premiership to be able to build a Premiership standard stadium, nor do you need a big backer. Swansea, MK Dons and Hull all built quality stadiums whilst in the lower Leagues. A number of others could be added to the list. Also Plymouth, Bristol and Nottingham Forest all have plans for large stadiums. Yes, it is for the World Cup but the Plymouth and Bristol ones are happening regardless of a successful 2018 bid and will just be made bigger if England do win. Also Pompey's spending in the Premiership wasn't at a level to get 17th place. They were spending huge sums on wages and transfers far in excess of a bottom 6 side. Pompey could easily have rebuilt Fratton Park and stayed in the Premiership during those 7 years. They may not have had top half finishes or an FA Cup win but it would have secured the future of the club and still remained in the Premiership. Thus not in anyway a catch 22.

Will be on the BBC and extended ones on Saints Player soon.

Shame the cameraman was rubbish and didn't get it in shot.

Highlights on SSN between now and 1pm.

Case adjorned to 2:30pm, not looking good for Southend. Updated table without Southend - 44 games to play. P PTS 6th Huddersfield 40 67 7th Colchester 40 62 8th Southampton 40 60 9th Bristol Rovers 40 58 Would make it even harder for Saints to make the playoffs.

What a night 4-1 COME ON WALSALL HANG ON

I can't see Walsall hanging on sadly. Would be amazing if they do.

Walsall equalize!!!!

I always wanted to be there when Morgan scored.

It isn't 451 tonight or against Charlton. It is 451 when Wotton comes on to seal up the game and sit in front of the defence.

Predictions for Alpines next post?

Apart from beating Saints at St Mary's?

But if some people have never had it cut out what can it be?

Those people having problems have you tried the BBC Radio Bristol commentary?

Those people having problems have you tried the BBC Radio Bristol commentary?

Leave it to Glasgow and Alpine at around 10pm after a 1-1 draw?

Then why have I listened to it uninterrupted for the last 35 minutes then? If some have no problems, then its your connection.

It isn't Saints player, it is your connection. I've never had it cut out for an away game.
