Muted celebrations from Lee...

The video of the interview was available on Thursday to watch (and still is).

Listen to Orient Player.

Their attendances in the 14 years before that were even lower.

In 1995 as an 11th placed Premier League team, Chelsea averaged lower crowds than Saints are currently in League One.

Subs: 8. Jonathan Forte, 17. Aaron Martin, 19. Daniel Seaborne, 20. Adam Lallana, 22. David Connolly, 24. Bartosz Bialkowski (GK), 27. Oscar Gobern

The Saints squad on a pre match stroll this morning.

Some Saints fans have put him on quite a pedestal considering he only played 7 games for Saints, 4 years ago.

Because he was on loan from West Ham.

The fact the club put in a planning application for Staplewood before Markus' death, then after his death they put in a new application with the development costing significantly more than the original is strong signal of intent.

All Steve Grant has done in the opening post is pick out the key figures. He hasn't passed comment on them in either a positive or negative way, nor has he really cherry picked the figures. I see nothing wrong with the opening post.

Two games this season tells a story. He has either been injured (and thus a signing risk), or not deemed good enough to start for a soon to be relegated team and released before the end of the season. Where as Saints are looking for players in the event of promotion, to get them promoted again within two years.

He has been released before the end of the season, from a club which is soon to be relegated from a League we hope to be in next season, having only played two games this season. All very telling...

The "debts" may well be turned into equity similar to what Abramovich did at Chelsea. Helps avoid the need to pay gift tax. If you download the accounts you will see the directors loans aren't repayable for at least 5 years (if at all).

That wasn't the issue being discussed. Neither Sambosa75 or I said Lallana was better than Bale. In fact we both said the opposite.

Have you seen Bale beat players with lots of quick changes of direction and feints like Lallana does? I haven't. Bale's method of beating players is to beat them by out pacing them and having good ball control at speed. Of course Bale is doing it at a much higher level and against far better opponents.

That doesn't mean Lallana can't have some qualities better than Bale. Bale beats player by being able to run with the ball very, very well at pace. Lallana beats players with trickery. I doubt Bale could beat a player the way Lallana does and vice versa. Of course Bale is the better player though.

It was meant to be on Solent this morning. It is now 1pm.

And play two games and get released before the end of the season?

Then why is he being released by a club soon to be relegated from a League we hope to be in next season?

If Jason Puncheon can start games and score goals for a club in the Premier League, Alex Chamberlain and Adam Lallana could easily.

But not when Davis had a 46 game League and Shilton had only a 42 game League to get the 18 clean sheets. So not like for like as Davis will have 4 more possible opportunities.

Protected by third tier defenders, against 3rd tier strikers. I'm not denying it isn't good, but you really can't compare the two.

I don't know why they bothered with this, you can't do a like for like comparison... - Davis will have more league games to play in this season than Shilton - thus more opportunities to keep clean sheets - Shilton was playing in the 1st tier of English football, Davis in the 3rd tier against 3rd tier strikers
