Joey's an absolute legend in my eyes. Obviously had a pretty rough upbringing and a nasty streak particularly when drunk but he appears to be serious about re-forming his character. He is constantly championing the Sporting Chance clinic and speaks his mind which makes a refreshing change coming from such a high profile footballer. ON form alone, he should be in the England team.

He's our 3rd choice left back. Really not that much of a concern.

Indeed it was. Only time I have ever woke up half way through the night to find myself being noshed off by some bird I'd never even met before. Happy memories.

Great post and so, so true.

Not that bad a manager. Did a much better job than Capello is doing now with a pool of arguably less talented platers (Darren Powell at left back anyone?).

Nah, its a fact me old cocker.

I'll have Shearer (from circa 94-98), Le Tissier (from 1998), Bale (from 2010/11), Dean Richards (from 2001/02) and or M. Svensson (2003-2005) and Pahars (from 1999-2001).

Because its busy. Ideal for a stag do wouldnt you say? Bertie's is the place. I got a 100% pulling record in there which is no mean feat considering the state of my boat race. Sailors is okay but gets very busy. Tall Trees is like a converted working mens club but an absolute grotfest too.

I heard it was Will Mellor.

He's been at Saints for ages. He coaches the group that my nephew plays for. All the lads love him. Firm but fair. Was always a top pro and can only be a good things for that to rub off on the kids.

It's going to get more and more difficult but I reckon the lad we signed from Plymouth. He is supposed to be a bit special.

I was always under the impression Nugent was quite pacey. Has he lost this with all the injuries now? To be honest, you can't really fault Nugent for getting paid a shedload by the skates. At the time his stock was quite high. There is no way any side would give a comparable wage now though. Presumably he has a young family and may well be settled on the south coast. An option to stay down here at Saints may suit him. I remember him being a good player for Preston and wouldn't have minded him back then. If Adkins can get him on a free, with reasonable wages I would look at it as a shrewd piece of business.

Still think we need another centre back. Bring Andrew Davies "home" from Stoke.

Difference is Hatton has beaten some truly excellent fighters and only lost to the two best fighters of our generation. Haye has fought nobodies his entire career and desperately needs to prove himself tomorrow.

Why the plural? I can only see one sign.

So if you had a Porsche, you'd trade it in for a Volvo? I think it means, if we can't replace a player in our team with a better one, we won't.

Great signing. Could he be the missing link in defence? I know he's played midfield for Burnley but apparently Chelsea regard him first and foremost as a defender.

I had that very argument with a mate a few days ago about Barnard and Connolly. Don't get me wrong, I rate both but it does seem that their goals are always the "cherry on the cake" rather than scoring at 0-0 or 1-1. I know there are a few exceptions to this rule but it seems to be the case a lot of the time.

Probably the most technically gifted player I have ever seen that has played their entire career outside the top 2 tiers. Great news, must mean Adkins is a fan and with his backing and a good pre-season behind him, next season could well be a very good season for him. I haven't felt as confident as I do now when we get a penalty since I did when MLT was playing.

Great signing if true. Would own the free kicks from the right side with that left peg of his. Left back not exactly the first area that needs strengthening though.

Just stay up around Bedford Place, you'll be fine.

I'm quite aware he played for Norwich thank you. So he was versatile in what sense of the word? He did well for Norwich but despite whatever you say he made his name at Blackburn playing alongside Alan Shearer. You also mention he played for England but forgot to mention he was a million miles behind the likes of Shearer, Sheringham, Ferdinand, Fowler and Ian Wright. Blackburn mugged Chelsea of £10m for him and he proved himself to be useless there. Perhaps a passable Premier League striker in his prome but nowhere near the best.

No doubt Haye is a great cruiserweight. I'm not disputing that. That said, it's a pretty poor division too with most fighters preferring the more competitive light heavyweight and super middleweight divisions or having a crack at the Klitschko's in the HW division. Wlad is a good fighter. Yes, his opponents have mainly been useless but he still has class and a good punch on him. It's fair to say Wlad wont have been in a ring before with someone as quick as Haye but I think it's pretty safe to assume Haye has never been in with someone who punches like Wlad. It will be an interesting fight but it's not a foregone conclusion.

I tend to play off a tee when driving and off whatever I land on following my drive. Usually this is sand, rough or water. The last course I played was in Fareham, quite night course but I walked off after 2 holes. Nothing but admiration for good players. It's so difficult to be good enough to play it properly, I don't get how people persevere.

Yes!!! Best night out in Southampton. Quad-Vod for £2. Can't say fairer.
