Premier League ‏@premierleague Howard Webb has been appointed referee for Southampton v Sunderland on Saturday 22nd December. #SOUSUN

That links in nicely with the prize, cleverly done Andy.

Have we played this game before... Should this thread ever actually "end" and be moved to the Golden Threads forum. What would you like the final post to be before it is closed? Ideally it should be from Fitzhugh Fella as he started the thread and would bookend it nicely. Wittiest answer/picture/video wins a signed copy of MLG's attendance tables vol. 1 - 42.

I thought people normally spit coffee out over the monitor when they read something funny on the internet. Not drop a mug of gravy on the keyboard, trousers you ****ing idiot!

The perfect gift for any Portsmouth child this Christmas. A calendar for 2013 with none of the players on it to be contracted to the club by the end of January...

Stop tempting me trousers! I can't resist. (that sounds wrong out of context )

I know, shame. I got a "high profile" bite though. He is on the PST board.

You know me too well.

Can anyone get the colosseum coaches booking system to work at the moment? I select Fulham, the number of people and hit "book now" and it fails to open the page.

Please can you provide a link for that?

I think they were too ambitious and hadn't actually got the system to work in time. I guess we'll see it next season.

Why are you sure of the 2,977 number? If 2,976 or less Saints fans want a ticket then it hasn't "sold out" as you said it definitely would. If 2,978 or more Saints fans want a ticket then "anyone who wants one will get one" isn't true. So with 2,977 they got it "just right" ala Goldilocks? Good work from the ticket office then! (semantics and irrelevant I know, but I love that stuff... )

So you think exactly 2,977 Saints fans want a ticket for this game then? Not one person more or one person less. Didn't they say in the summer that points from ticket purchases could be used in the club shop? Have they actually done that?

For what reason can you not tell us?

His wages at Liverpool are probably upwards of £70k p/w.

c) He should be punished for each and every offence, which may end up being a 9+ match ban.

Since Saints decided that Kelvin Davis wouldn't be the on pitch captain it has been... Hammond captain and Fonte vice captain and now... Lallana captain and Fonte vice captain

At the moment they have 3,000 tickets, potentially they could be given 4,800 so Saints will need to hold back some blocks.

Yes, that is the point I was making. So on topic really.

Yep, you are the history writer here!

Sorry Right, back on topic fellow Nutjobs!

Mark Fry didn't find Liebherr and Cortese, they found him. What Mark Fry did was give exclusivity to a bunch of chancers ahead of the Swiss bid and that nearly led to us losing out on Liebherr/Cortese. Had he given Liebherr exclusivity, Saints could have had the takeover sorted out weeks earlier in the summer of 2009 and Pardew would have had longer to work with the squad in pre-season and bring his targets in. Instead Pardew was appointed a fair way into pre-season and we had a relatively poor start to League One in 2009/10.

It appears you still haven't read it.

Did you miss post #75 Turkish? Or convenient to overlook it?

So when did that interview happen? Looks to me like the Echo merely lifted quotes from the Solent interview on Saints Player, put words into Adam's mouth he didn't say and twisted it to fit their headline.
