Thought so, I was going to rewind on the Sky box to check but then remembered I had switched channel. Doh. Seems odd that only the Beeb have this though.

The bird on the FL show said they had been informed there was a meeting on Wednesday. She did not say "to decide AP's future", but in the context of what she had just said this was clearly the inference from her comment.

No it wasn't, it was stated by the bird sitting on the table, she said they (BBC) had been informed about this, it was not from an email. (I think)

FL shows says meeting Wednesday. WTF?

Think ML has got more class than to use BA. Surely he either has his own plane or uses Lauda Air or even FlyBe rather than feathering BA's nest and that scumbag WW. PS Please stop referring to FF as a coffin dodger, he's the same age as me, possibly even younger :-(

Hope he's better than the last player called Inigo that we signed

Slightly more interested this week than last.

You missed the point, why doesn't our OS report this, especially as it was putting one over on the Skates. It actually says on our OS "Keep up to date with all the news surrounding the Saints Academy", perhaps they should add "by looking on our opponents web sites" Its not a big deal, but with so little news around at the moment, a report on an Academy match against the Skates yesterday would seem something to note.

Glad to see we beat the Skates. Shame that we can't read about it on our own OS. Nothing on there that I can see about this game, last Academy update was the West Ham game last weekend. Pompey may not have a pot to **** in but they can still manage to put news on their official web site.

Small point of order, Nuneaton N(B)orough don't exist any more. Nuneaton Town won the Southern League play off against Chippenham Town to get promoted to the Conference South for next season. The Boro were liquidated in 2008, reformed later but FA insisted on a new name, hence Nuneaton Town. I'll get my anorak.

No, much rather Millwall went up. Leeds are no great shakes, and it will be good to beat a "big team" to the L1 champsionship next season. If I didn't live here and work in Swindon then logically I would prefer Swindon to go up, after all they took 6 points off us and never conceded a goal, but I really couldn't put up with all the wurzels gloating for the next year, that would be hard to take. No, Leeds to lose gets my vote.

Solidarirty with the BA1. Sorry to hear about this Duncan, was gobsmacked when I saw the item on the BBC News earlier. Just illustrates the low life that we have running some major companies these days in this country. Employment Law is weighted so heavily in favour of the employers these days, it is despicable. Many, many years since I flew with BA, they are one of the worst advertisements for this country, dirty tricks and marketing gaffs, they are embarrassing. It would be nice to say you are well off out of it, but of course its not that easy when you have lost your livelihood. Good luck with your case anyway, the more embarrasment to WW the better.

Cheers, thought I was going mad, well more mad perhaps

How do you know? I can't see any results except that RL won.

Still find it odd that no-one else has picked MLT, re-read the OP again, what have I missed? Is he not eligible or something? I know he wasn't the greatest in 01/02 but still would walk (or at least stroll) into any side that we could put out since that time. I guess I am being a dumb ****er and have missed something somewhere.

I suspect entrance to all home games next season will be free for adults as a special memento of our 125th anniversary.

If he could walk into 5 or 6 Prem teams why was it only Stoke that were interested? he was at Sheff Utd remember before Pulis took him to the Potteries. He has had a major fall out with Pulis and probably does not figure in his plans. Maybe Pulis would loan hm to us and take his son as a makeweight or do I mean lightweight Of course Beatts is on high wages compared to l1, and I'm sure he is not looking to drop down to L1. My suggestion was meant to be light-hearted, but it is as sensible as most others on here. I think Beattie would make a half-decent back up for Rickie but it ain't gonna happen.

Perhaps we could get Beattie back as a back-up for Rickie. Similar players, JB likes it down south, and likes the red & white stripes (don't tell him we wont be wearing stripes next season), reckon he could hack it in the 3rd division, can't see him staying at Stoke.

never thought I would see a sentence that includes the words "Rasiak" and "ahead". Rasiak just ahead of a stunned slug maybe LOL Rather have Sperm John than Captain Slow. Best XI of the decade without really thinking (can't believe no-one has include Le Tiss, even an overweight unfit Le Tiss is better than just about anyone else): Niemi, Dodd, M Svensson, Lundekvam, Bridge, Walcott, Oakley, Bale, Le Tiss, Pahars, Beattie Subs R Wright, Baird, Crouch, Fonte, Philips, Morgan, Wise. Probably a bit weak in MF, but what the ****, it would be fun.

Agreed, as long as we don't have to work around players being ineligible or cup-tied then we would be fine. Good cup runs often help to bolster a good league run, its all about a winning mentality. They also allow a few squad players to get games without seriously weakening the side which is a benefit in the long term. Definitely would not do any harm to successfully defend the JPT and win the 3rd Division. Just one trip to Wembley next season will do me fine, no play-off lotteries are required.

Harsh - don't think Wigan deserve that

Poor man's Dylan, we can do better

No, you're right, Leeds was a poor choice, sometimes forget how big they really are while they are in L1 or even the Championship

A Provinicial Club is any club that is in the provinces, i.e. not in London. Manure is a provincial club, so is Southampton, but not Chelski, the Arse or Spuds. We certainly are not a small provincial club, but neither are we one of the large ones, like Manure, City, Liverpool, Everton, Villa or Newcastle (historically). More like medium along with Sunderland, Leeds, Birmingham City, WBA, Stoke and so on. Small provincial clubs would be the likes of Bournemouth, Torquay, Pompey and so on

or Portsmouth
