Give it to Ron

Based on what Pat...he doesnt get back until Monday allegedly? How can it stall if he hasn't even had a medical or even met him yet?

I can tell you never attended the Texaco Cup game in the 70's at The Dell then! One of the only teams to have taken parts of the Milton.

Great return for Lumb....5 ball duck

Useful yes..only key skill...never. Ryan Smith had pace....allegedly

Thats a fair appraisal however, what is good value and bad? Torres £50m hardly scored yet one goal got them into the Champions League Final and probably paid all that back with them winning it. If Rodrigues contributes just say 8 goals that keeps us in the division one more season then the revenue more than pays for him. Young English strikers are a premium, we don't know or never will know our transfer budget. I am not sure we ever should either.

What did you think of Billy Sharps performance at Blackpool ??

Good post - didn't seem to bother that POG at Fulham and he is a carthorse

Just out of interest how much do you value Lallana at?? For those on about pace....didn't seem to bother Beattie much and he scored a few for us in the Prem.

Ok I know the philosophy and applaud that - however what no-one can tell me is if the councils will now build 9v9 pitches for them to play on? Will they charge less than they do know? We pay £35-50 for a pitch for certain grounds...how will we afford that with potentially 3 players less in the squad and parents subs, signing on fees and match fees?

We also have another one in Ward-Prowse bursting through - Pompey schoolboy been through Saints academy etc we should tip off old Neil to him as well.

No thats is wrong...have checked as we can do it from 6th June on the phone or from 20th June in person which is at renewal time not new.

How close to the penalty spot are you are replacing Bart??

7 of us moving from block 34 or hoping to as it will save us a small fortune just because someone has decided the seats we have sat in for over 5 years are now centre funny they weren't in League 1.

I know this guy is a bit of a b/s but he would of been ideal..... Fourth Official ‏@Fourth_Official Whilst Stoke City are set to wrap up a loan deal for Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku

Me too - 2 great games to watch - Team GB v Uruguay and Mexico v Switzerland

So you agree with me then...nice....so no stink kicked up then...glad thats settled. FWIW I am cheering on Blackpool but think West Ham will be too strong for them in attack but depends if BFS bottles it and goes back to 4-5-1.

So what caused you to react that way...didn't realise you were that protective... nice I suppose...if thats what floats your submarine. Its a message board and I didnt agree with his opinion and can't see the logic behind it if that doesn't agree with one of your internet chums....oh dear.

hahahah kicked up a stink..hahahah touchy today are you Dennis Waterman to his George Cole?

Exactly...we also finished below West Ham...but not this year so I can't see hOw anyone can predict where we will finish neXt season when we haven't released or signed anyone yet. We have no idea whether our squad will be stronger or worse than WH or even if our manager will be here or if we have RDM and he has bought us Drogba.

Why have they finished below us? Why did we take 4 points off them? I think you lot should all do the lottery as you obviously know what our squad will look like next year if you think west Hams will be better than ours....hasn't worked this year...what makes you so sure it will next?

Based on what?

Isnt that what the Carling Cup is for???

Only amongst you sh1t stirring bull sh1tting trolls. Didnt you know Cortese hates Adkins and we are getting Di Matteo anyway?

I do know they are recruiting for their academy one of my sons teammates has just signed a 2 year deal.

No I havent been for a few years ...well since the propeller firm I worked for went bust. I am not disputing that Southampton doesn't do it well...piggin 'eck we have done it for so long now we should get it right. I just have this bee in my bonnet about our waterfront, have you been to Cardiff Bay and I went to Southstreet Seaport in NY which is eveything we should have here in Southampton. Portsmouth do have hotels Wes...there are 2 massive ones about 2 miles away...plus Port Solent marina to berth local boats visiting, there is Southsea and the massive common area and as stated below they could utilise the Old Docks more and I do believe we could lose the boat show the way we lost transatlantic race etc. I remember all the events we had at Ocean village before that was raped by SCC. As for traffic...have you tried getting in town past Ikea etc when there are cruise ships in , saints at home and the boat show is on from Millbrook road way ... face palm thingy
