I get the feeling there was still a future for Punch with us. I reckon NA made him train with the reserves with the idea that if he kept his head down/worked hard/didn't squinny for a move while the window was open, the slate would slowly get wiped clean. That plan would obviously all be out the window now though

Very well said mate (I don't think all the above agree with the OP though!)

The individual chose to borrow more than they could afford, that is the fact. It's a shame certain people always look to blame others for their mistakes.. Take responsibility, FFS.

I remember hearing about those contingency talks with the Conference and thinking, if we were to go down that route, it would have to be managed very carefully. The higher you enter the football league pyramid, the more clubs you are effectively denying a "bump-up" promotion to; surely lawsuits etc would result?

Agreed. We are awesome.

3 for Cov!

I think we should loan them x amount through a middleman (it's not too difficult to conceal the original source of funds in football, apparently) so as to put ourselves in the decisive position when it comes to agreeing CVA mark 2 vs. liquidation. Tongue firmly in cheek by the way.

League One update: Ryan Dickson scores for Yeovil

"Plucky P*mpey" and their "long-suffering fans"... FFS

Completely agree, poor form from the local media to encourage such an attitude. I hate to think how much that "club" have taken from the public purse, I don't think it's too sensationalist to emphasise that this is money which could have been put toward hospitals, emergency services etc and perhaps saved one or two more lives.

I think he was saying we finished as high as 8th just two years prior to relegation, not making it out to be our highest ever finish

2-0 is the better score in the home leg of the Champions League knockout stages. Think ahead people

Didn't Sullivan say last season it'd be armageddon if West Ham got relegated? Where are they getting their money from, FFS.

Is that right?? I'd have thought they'd be well up for it! What are they going to do if/when they meet in the league?

Bristol Rovers and Forest for me, comfortably the best two

Spot on, apart from this - wouldn't describe Hull away on a Tuesday night as "attractive" lol!

Good numbers from us - especially given we have to travel longer distances on average than the midlands lot! Would like to see figures from last season, although official numbers will be lower than the amount we actually took to many games last year, especially towards the end of the season!

I think he may be referring to the law of diminishing returns.

I think so. He bought out Briatore (and Ecclestone, I think), not Mittal.

Funny how they're obsessed with the "arrogant" English media, as well; there must be equal and opposite forces in effect in the Scottish media if they truly believe they're a footballing powerhouse! It can't be long until Scotland loses it's CL auto-qualifying spot (and whatever they get for second) and becomes a league on a par with Ireland, Wales etc in this respect

Haven't they been about to go bankrupt for about 3 years now?? I'm only on page 13, but that's a very good read so far

Khaaaaaan!!

Very good question. I don't think it's as cut and dry as Saints vs. Life, as some have said, because following Saints is part of life.

Is the main board supposed to be for diverse discussion of all things Saints, including trips down memory lane, various trivia, but most importantly about the current situation with the team - but in the latter case only as a mutual masturbation glee-club about how wonderful everything is with dissenting or conflicting opinions completely taboo ??? #asktheboss
