Give it to Ron

Yes because Chelsea and Man City have done it all on a shoe string. If you want to progress you have to spend ..look at Spurs and how much they have spent to get to where they are now. Its all irrelevant anyway as we are miles away from promotion and the last 7 games have shown we do not have a squad capable of getting us there. Unless Cortese gets in the players required I cannot see us getting into Prem let alone CL. We bought the best in League One, we cannot go and get cheap options in CCC so this month is crucial and will show the chairmans and the clubs real ambitions and financial status.

Never went on loan anywhere?

Hahahahhaha you expect us to get a work permit in 3 hours......you have lived abroad too long! You cant speak to them....you have to fax it in and then hope you get something in the post.....source...the poor young lady I work with!

Ill tell you why the panic...having just got back from a game we threw away by a stupid sending off - take one look at our bench. Forte, Reeves, Holmes ...do you think any of those are Championship impact subs?? Forte couldn't get a game on the subs bench when we had to play Morgan right wing. Its now crunch time - everyone knows it - if we get in 2 or 3 decnt players we will go up - if we mess about or go for the cheap we wont. We wont have a better chance ever!

Absolutely spot on - deffo sending off for retaliation - gut instinct straight away said you **** your off. It started 5 mins earlier when that incompetant buffoon missed the clearest pen you will see when Lambert got taken out by El Habd. Lambert was shocking all game. We looked back to our best up to that point.

If he is out of contract would anyone really pay 2m when they can get him for nothing in a few months??

Have a look at Swanseas goal yesterday and you may not think the same about Friedel

Jimmy Melia Martin Chivers Lew Chatterley Steve Baker Lee Todd Perry Groves David Speedie Gregorz Rasiak All (fellow) white honkies....

Sorry to hijack but Leeds ar 4 down - big rumour was that Grayson is on his way out and Di Matteo might be going there.

We already have the next one lined up to Wenger in Luke Shaw.

You can add +2 in our house with that. Trouble is I don't want us to throw away our start but the warning signs have been there for weeks now. Some strange tactics at Doncaster and Pompey haven't helped.

Plagiarism rules on UI then Stu ;-)

So can I - thats what I think the Radio Solent message was about Sharp and Maynard resetting expectations. I think it will be 2 low named loans not who we all are expecting like Jut/Beckford/Rodriguez. I still have a nagging doubt whether we are as financially sound as we are led to believe. Nothing bad just not have the millions, the Ox money used to pay off the clubs losses the previous season?

We might get a last minute loan deal in that have never heard of - we don't have any money. smiley winky thing.

We could have our own radio station where people can win a date in a competition on it ;-)

Well as he is a free agent he could of signed at any time not wait until January!!

Thats what we have - a plumber did it for us when we renewed the en-suite. Worked a treat although we have to still regularly treat the ceiling for mould.

He lives round the corner from that pub....just saying.

I certainly wouldnt drink in there...I live 2 miles away and its awful. Bedes is far better and frequented by many Saints fans.

Why what did he do? what were the circumstances? Did he attack or was he defending....? Christ this thread is full of look at me's I know something that you lot don't...post and run away.

Lol ...quality...I can't believe people are getting carried away on this. Ron Davies was my idol as a boy...would I give up the FA Cup win...nuts

I think thats bang on and he also gives us what none of the other midfielders do and thats get beyond the strikers. Although Cork did it once today which was just as well as Lambert and Guly both went wide. Chappers drive and energy is being missed recently and a shame he looks to be out for another long period.

No way should we sit with what we have...how can we? Barnard out for months, Connolly just come back from ages out, Guly the enigma...did we learn nothing from the Doncaster game? We will never have a better chance of promotion..sitting on your hands is not an option.

Wrong medial....Rchap04 Richard chaplow I was back in full training feeling fine, then I slipped AGAIN and did the medial again! hideous bad luck to do it twice #ruinedmyxmas 1 minute ago Favorite Retweet Reply

2 great crosses saw us through really although we looked very comfortable. Palace had their first shot on about 31 minutes and can't remember Kelvin making a save after that. Joos and Fonte dealt with anything down the middle and both full backs were well supported by SDR and Lallana to sniff out Zaha and Clyne. If I was a Palace fan I would be a bit ****ed off at managers tactics as they never really had a go. Morgand and Cork ran the midfield and always available for a pass - only real issue for me was Fox crossing from so deep...Frazer showed him the way...awesome cross. Guly is deffo marmite - I thought he did Ok today and his 2 goals were both well taken but the crosses were oustanding. Lallana had no end product again sone great movement and ball control but then no finish. I don't think Ricky had a shot or header on goal but kept them busy all game with his hold up play and bringing in others. We still need a good right winger and good, quick forward to push sides deeper - promotion will happen if that happens as not sure we can maintain it with our current squad.
