Give it to Ron

Well as our ticket office cant organise a **** up in a brewery it wouldnt surprise me a few gave up and went home!!! I turned up at 7 and asked a steward which queue - " any queue no problem" so joined number 1 queues. After 20-25 minutes and about 6 from the front some idiot on the tannoy says that windows 1 are for ST holders, future game enquiries, 2 is for match sales, 3 for away games!!! There was a queue of about 2k I just stayed in my queue and told the bloke my season ticket and got mine - they then announce that queue 1 was all sales.....when I left there was chaos and the stewards were complaining that only 3 couldnt control that many. Why are they doing away game tickets? with a big walk up why ration the queues to specific windows - people were still coming in after 25 minutes after game started.

At the JPT final he was....tonight he was awful but that goes for all the Wednesday players really. Cant see Jones lasting there much longer

Probably the easiest 2 -0 win ever seen. Wednesday were horrific and just as well we never signed Antonio. Chaplow, JWP and Cork bossed midfield. Rodriguez was quality. Gazza flapped at a couple but made a couple of good saves. De Ridder for all his pace and skill delivered absolutely nothing all night so frustrating he gets in great positions then whacks it at defenders rather than get his head up and pick someone out. Seaborne was ok but poor distribution and a couple of silly fouls. Yoshida is class. The ticket office cant run a raffle!!!

You sat and counted 10 empty boxes .....why???

I know Gaston will get the plaudits but Ricky was awesome today, he linked it so well, strong composed held it up and scored a cracker and made 2 more. Yoshida looks a great find too.

A mate of mine does it and have seen and heard from satisfied customers - get someone to PM me that you know and will pass on his number

Now The White House, Lee Barnard's favourite hangout......not for a while its now Cafe Parfait

Put a large spoonful of demerera sugar at the bottom of the glass, put in the whisky then the coffee, pour in the cream-double whipped is good onto the back of a spoon - slowly. If you dont take sugar you will have to put in that whippy stuff from the can ;-) its what we used to do at the Berni Inn I worked at years ago.

How would they know?

Good post Charlie.... KD should be our number two keeper and we should of bought in someone better in the summer. I would of gone for that Guzan at Villa who left then went back.

Cripes this board is fcking unreal....that would be the Hoddle that got the sack at Tottenham, got booted out of Wolves...couldn't get the Forest job. Not been employed by one club since how many years and had to start up his own academy because no-one else would touch him in world football? How many teams are there and how many jobs has he been interviewed for yet some of you nutjobs want him here because a few years ago he did a half decent job here at The Dell? Nothing to do with walking out on us just that I think he is terrible!!! We are getting exactly what was predicted - the defence needed rebuilding for the Prem for some reason we didn't and the chickens came home yesterday. Adkins should get at least until February...after the January window to correct this but I feel Cortese won't do that and he will be gone by end of October.

Still a way to go - there are as described a few buildings up between the farmhouse through to the old car park. The pitches as I said are amazing - I think that picture above was a previous design as the buildings are up and not in that picture plus the 3g pitch doesnt show either. Its a far larger area than I thought and looks brilliant compared to before. I haven't been to any other Premier academy ground so can't compare but the whole place looks as though its not done on the cheap.

I was there last week...its amazing - the pitches are fantastic hardly a blade of grass out of spec on all pitches. The 3g pitch is superb. The best of everything laid on for the kids and the football was brilliant to watch.

We are looking for 2 more adults to add to our groupsave on Saturday to Lords - 8 am Central? 6 adults 2 lads so far

What a knock from Carberry - good one too from Vince. Final could be ours 35 from 92 balls with 8 wickets.....ours to lose.

So you think we should pay someone 92k a week with a 32k ground....you would fit in well down the M27 did you learn nothing from their debacle? Chelsea or Liverpool would hardly contribute to their massive wages yet we are reported to be paying about 38k a week to Ramirez lets see how this pans out over a season.

Sam Matterface ‏@sammatterface Still might be a couple of departures (Hammond & De Ridder) at #SaintsFC but no more in...only 1hr 9 mins to go....

I thought the Olsson we were after was the one at Blackburn?

Recommend that one and there is also one at Fleming Park across the old golf course - runners of all ages and sizes abd abilities at both. Common one gets about 200 runners.

Against our old friends Antonio and Dave Jones who has them playing really well.

Koki Harada / 原田公樹 ‏@kokidaiz Maya Yoshida agreed with Southampton!!!! 吉田麻也、サウサンプトン移籍決定です。まもなく正式発表です。

Days after Nigel Adkins flatly denied the move, I am hearing that Japan international Maya Yoshida may now end up at #SaintsFC

I don't think you will find many that disagree with most of that but if it happens then there is not much we can do. I still think he has a massive role to play - but I am not CEO and loyalty is for fans not financial driven businessmen. I am not normally one who looks for messages from the club about transfer rumours - in this case it would be an exception given Ricky holding with the fans or shall I say customers.

Exactly my thoughts - not for one minute do I want Ricky sold but it wouldnt surprise me one bit anymore. Our chairman has shown he is ruthless and doesn't do fans niceties. If selling Ricky means its right in his eyes he will sell. I still haven't gotten over us selling one of my heroes in Brian O'Neil ;-)

We are just waiting for the Ricky to Blackburn deal to be clinched so we can use that money for Penarol.
