Still haven't revealed the source which many want to know.

Can you see why your original statement has flawed logic know?

Why is that better than Southampton being one of those teams that runs away with it? If Saints do aswell as Leicester did last season they would come 3rd. 1 point away from 2nd place and automatic promotion.

Saints related? He was never ever going to come here. Likely to be on close to 20k at Boro. Might as well include Ronaldo and Kaka to Madrid threads on the Saints main forum.

Its only tapping up if they are talking direct to the player. Just mentioning it to the press isn't tapping up.

He was, but still no excuse

Would you like to stand next to a drummer for 23 games? I certainly wouldn't and see no reason why someone that has paid for a ticket should have to endure it.

No, there probably won't be any more news until September. The screenshot in the opening post was released by mistake by the Managing Director of SI on Twitter. I'm sure SEGA told him off for that.

What relevance does how we did in 1993, 1996, 1999, 2005 etc have on the 8th August 2009? NONE - Different players different team

Of course you can't go on on historic record. What relevance does the Southampton team of 1991, 1992, 1993, 1999, 2003, 2008 etc have on the Millwall match? None what so ever, they are completely different teams and it has no bearing on the 8th August 2009.

He then showed we had won 2 of them. Which makes a mockery of his first statement.

That makes no sense.

You make a statement that we never win our first game and then provide data to disprove it

Alan, even a lazy Rasiak will score for fun in this league and very hard to replace. To let him go without a fight would be madness.

So you will bet on them going down to try and get some of that £575 back Nice thinking!

£575 What a rip off that is considering the quality of the stadium and team you will have to endure next season.

Betting on your teams failure. Not the best start to the season Andy

How did you feel after the Hearts game?

You will still find that lower league teams have significantly smaller squads than higher league teams. Larger squads are also used for squad rotation. You don't need to have squad rotation like Prem clubs the further down you go and thus lower league sides have much smaller numbers of senior players. Squad rotation is a luxury which requires money. You are right wages in lower leagues are lower but that doesn't mean it makes economic sense to have bloated squads. The evidence for this is found in the average squad sizes in League One. There may well be exceptions like you mention with Leeds but certainly not the rule.

Because budgets are smaller.

I think you'd take a different view if it was your career. Remember the future of Saints was still in limbo at the time and this move means he plays and tests himself at Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea rather than Exeter, Yeovil and Carlisle. Anyone that thinks players should choose the later is deluding themselves and need to remove the rose tinted glasses.

Wolves gave him the chance to play in the Premiership two leagues above us. Also Wolves offered him Premiership wages and he has his young family to think of. No matter what Mr Liebherr does he will not offer players Premiership wages when we are currently in League One. I don't blame Surman for going at all and would have done the same.

I'd say only... Leeds Charlton Norwich MK Dons Huddersfield Millwall ...pose a threat. The rest of the League is very poor.

You clearly don't know League One. 30 players is a HUGE squad in League One

Most teams in the world are selling clubs. In fact I'd say only Barcelona, Man City and Real Madrid are not selling clubs. We are in League One so of course we are. BWP, Skacel and Euell all were not sold btw
