It would have been embarrassing if he was there considering his loan spell ended in December. HE IS NOT AT BROMLEY ANY MORE!!!!!

Sorry, but you should not discount Birmingham. If you think 7 points behind is too far then you are naive. In my view the top 3 will be us, West Ham and Brum at the end of the season. But I agree that we will win it.

His loan deal was for 3 months from 23 Sep 2011. Therefore have to assume he is no longer at Bromley, but back with us. Looking at our OS there is not even mention of him going to Bromley, but he is not listed as on loan. Bromley have a new loan keeper as well, Lloyd Anderson.

Rubbish, in any other business it can be done in a week, two at most. And for international sports people, things can be much quicker. People seem to think that if he comes over here, that he somehow can't go back in just over 3 months when there is a 2 month break to finally put things in order, he is not emigrating, just making a working visit for a number of years. All the paper work for him to come to this country is already in place (his work permit). Living out of a suitcase for 3 months is not really any great hardship is it when you are on £20k per week.

Any idea how long you are going to continue to trot out this tedious response to just about anything. It didn't happen, get over it. Hoddle may or may not have saved us, there is nothing that can be done to prove one way or another, but the reality of Glenda is that without Gorman he is not the messiah you and others seem to believe. Look at it another way, if Glenda had saved us we would probably still be under the stewardship of Lowe, Hoddle would have left soon after when a better offer came along and we would now probably be in lower Championship level (17th maybe) without much hope of investment or promotion. I know where I would rather we were, top of the League (or at least in the Top 2) with NC and the legacy of Markus Liebherr, rather than the legacy of Lowe.

Nope, it is factually wrong, and ignores when we were runners-up during the 27 years that we were in the top flight (for the second time). Here is the whole sentence: "This came as a huge blow to a club that had graced the top flight for 27 straight years, finishing as high as eighth and reaching the FA Cup Final (where they lost to Arsenal) just two years earlier in 2003."

A week. Happens all the time, work ask if you can go away to customer site for 4 months, flight booked on the plane within a week. He's not having to leave Japan for good, he will be allowed back in. Come May on the plane back home and make any longer term arrangements. I just don't buy this idea it takes weeks and that maybe something is not right (or maybe not).

Yes. I'm not ITK, but I get a sense of lack of activity, since the news that the work permit was granted. OK, so he went back to Japan, but given he had been over here training it just seems a bit of a long time, and there has been no mention of him for a few days. Maybe just getting a little paranoid.

Doesn't seem to be much hope of Lee being involved on Monday, at least from what the OS says. It suggests Yago might be involved but no mention of Tadanari, so looks like he won't be back for a while yet. Odd really.

Hopefully not as lazy as raziac.

Brum are the biggest threat. Now they are out of the European Noddy Cup they are focused on the League, and will only be 7 points off if they win their game in hand. Cardiff and Boro will blow it (maybe Boro have already burst, were always going to struggle with their inability to score, signing LJ will not materially improve this IMHO).

Oh dear, if you are going to have a slanging match with someone at least don't make yourself look a tit. You do know that Scott McDonald is Australian and used to play for Saints, you do, don't you?

The 3rd all-time top scorer also went to Boro, but couldn't even get in our team before he went north of the border. You are living on past glories, Celtic and Rangers will never compete at the top level in Europe again unless they join the PL (thats the Premier League not the spl).

Lennon's 35 mill is being taken out of context, it was just an off the cuff remark, it is not a valuation by the Club. The factors that may bring Hooper to Saints have little or nothing to do with the SPL or Celtic. More likely he is interested in the move because of (a) his past association with Adkins and (b) the chance next season to play in the PL and perhaps further his possible international career. Playing in Europe for Celtic is not guaranteed and even if they do qualify, they have little hope of being successful, Celtic won the European Cup in 1967, the chance of that ever happening again is about as likely as me playing up front alongside RL (or GH). Maybe Jos and Barney have been having a few words with their old team mate as well, although in Barney's case it would seem that Hoopers arrival would mean the departure of Barnard.

Played 33 minutes yesterday, didn't score, obviously would have been a waste of money, not good enough for us

Based on average attendance, they are 12th in Europe, 3rd in UK (behind Manure and Arse). 48968 last season. To put this in perspective our average home attendance so far this season would have put us 59th in Europe last season.

Good to see the Celtic shirts at the exit of the tunnel before the game, must mean Hooper is on his way

I'm gonna say something controversial here - c'mon you 10 Skate Bastards

Dear Celtic, please ignore my last note, we still desparately need another striker now that Guly has torn his hamstring. Love, Southampton

Given many thought Harding was MotM last week when he played RB, your reaction seems a bit OTT.

No, its Aaron Ward-Baptiste. If OS has Ward-Prowse its a typo.

Its Aaron Ward-Baptiste (not Prowse)

Different because Ox's old man is a Skate bastard. If Shaw's old man is also a skate we may be fecked.

The contradiction is that SFC OS says he signed a 3 year pro contract. As he isn't actualy 17 yet this is technically incorrect. If he has signed a pre-contract then it is not a contract. In law you cannot sign a contract before you reach the age of majority anyway.
