This is worrying, Pardew can't count! Highest we can actually go is 12th.

Relevant? Vignal is a left footed left back on big wages. Murty is a right footed right back.

Arizona, Pardew may well buy a right back in January. However James is more than good enough to cover Murty for 6 weeks. When Murty is back he will do a great job in this league. He may well get injured again but then James/Thomas can fill in again. If however we do sign a new right back in January that would mean we are potentially paying Murty's wage (which for League One will be high) and also the new right back who will want to be starting. No point imo when we have 3 right backs more than good enough already to get promotion. Better to save the cash and wait until we are in the Championship and then buy a new right back. In January the priority should be a new striker to cover Lambert/Connolly, a centre back and perhaps a defensive midfielder to replace Wotton/give James competition when Saints play 451.

But as the money from the Surman/McGoldrick deals was completely separate from the Lambert/Hammond deals it is irrelevant as the two aren't connected. As well as the money for Hammond/Lambert, alot of money would have been spent on signing on fees and wages for Murty, Jaidi, Harding, Connolly and also loan fee for Papa Waigo would have been high as we have option to buy. None of these players could be brought by many other League One teams. Add to that keeping Davis on a new contract, improving the interior of St Mary's, new training ground. Relative to the League we are very big spenders. As Cortese has said in numerous interviews they are going to spend enough to get out of the respective league they find themselves in order to reach the Premiership.

He hasn't had much luck! Lloyd James/Wayne Thomas back to right back then. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4788183.Murty_out_for_six_weeks/

We only play there for 50% of the matches.

That is irrelevant, as all McGoldrick and Surman etc money was before the takeover and used to pay debt.

Why? It is publicly available on a councils website. As there is going to be no change in traffic density or land-use and the only change is making a 2nd floor on a building she can't see I don't see why she cares.

You are very wrong here. When in the Premiership Southampton averaged over 30k for EVERY season in a 32k stadium(segregation takes up some aswell). 2004-05: 30,610 (The FA Premier League) 2003-04: 31,699 (The FA Premier League) 2002-03: 30,680 (The FA Premier League) 2001-02: 30,633 (The FA Premier League) Saints will need a bigger capacity if Mr Liebherr takes us back to the Premiership. Saints could easily get over 40k for the "big" teams and if doing well 35k for all the rest. Look at the capacity and attendances for the Premiership http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/PR/attend.html If we want to compete in the Premiership, Saints will need a bigger ground than 32k

I'd say these plans would be about 8th to 10th best in the Premiership. Certainly better than practically all Championship clubs.

Can you name the two times the FA have "done" us? Are you getting the FA confused with the Football League again?

For a large part of the last 20 years we were playing at Premiership quality grounds. We are now in League One. Just look at Stockport this season.

Lord Malwhinney met Nicole Cortesse at St Mary's. I wonder why he would travel to Southampton for a meeting? Doubt it was just for the fans charter. Lord Malwhinney is the head of the selection committee for the bidding cities for 2018. Maybe all is not lost even now and an improved training ground has changed minds?

Letter of complaint by a resident about the new development. Surprised they have made these public! http://web3.newforest.gov.uk/images/planningimages/130310_1.pdf

Wow, that is good and quick support I only sent the email off a little time before.

The JPT doesn't have extra time. It goes straight to penalties if a draw. So you will be fine to get to the station after the game. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=johnstone%27s+paint+trophy+

It will by the end of the day I reckon. Likely it was only the Daily Echo, local radio, ITV and BBC TV local news there anyway

Yep, same here. Hs happened on a few videos on Saints player now like the 2nd half highlights of the Gillingham game:( Email them and complain, I have already

No, they were downgraded for FM08 and FM09. Saints used to have very good facilities. But have fallen behind due to lack of investment whilst other clubs improved as Nicole Cortese states in the press conference. This development will give them a boost for FM11 (if they get planning permission).

Press conference - 10 minutes of it Is on Saints Player now

He looks relatively "normal" working in that antique bookshop

So not for 50 years then I thought it would have been a while. I started supporting Saints aged 7 in 1989 and couldn't remember any occasion in the last 20 years.

When was the last time we played a non league club at home in the FA Cup? Looking likely we will be in January now

Well there is disrespect because you called it Micky Mouse. Just saying "no disrespect" doesn't remover the implication of what you said! Always odd when people say things like that
