Give it to Ron

Won't the £1.6m be paid to Sol....thats how much he is owed isn't it for his image rights???

+1 You only have to look at the number of threads on here as proof. Getting to the playoffs is a must to keep our better players interested and here. As someone pointed out yesterday....in the relegation season we beat them twice....whats remembered the most???

He is bang on...did you expect him to say "we will beat the fishy xxxxx"!" Pardew has to play this down as much as possible we have a lot of important games between now and the FA cup game.

We had 2 quotes recently for our en-suite about the same size between £300-350 including grout etc.

Leeds or Spurs away

Daft comment at the end Dave...we are 2 divisions away from Spurs and what 7 months into our rebuilding? Was it our fault Ipswich couldn't finish their dinner let along a chance and I think you do our defence a massive injustice - we threw ourselves at crosses, blocked them and got bodies in the way and made it difficult. I agree with Wotton and James but given they are what 3 or 4th choice against the very good Garvan etc I am not surprised they got over run. At least we played with width and wingers today with Holmes and Antonio ;-)

I thought Jaidi was outstanding in the air and even on the floor today, great game from Thomas - best in a Saints shirt. Perry had a wobbly 5 minutes just before half time but recovered to have a very good match overall. I don't think I have seen so many crosses come into our box as the first half and oh how I wish we had a keeper that would come and claim the ball on the 6 yard line. Interesting debut from Barnard he clearly has a football brain - he took up some dangerous positions and against League 1 defenders will score a few. For 200k he looks a decent acquistion but can't see how he can be a Lambert replacement by his size, pace and game as he is another Saga type player.

solentsport Kabir Ali moves to Hampshire , 3 year deal. County confirm to Solent they'll talk to Chris Tremlett re his future in next few days

Actuall you don't now as there is a very small mens changing room in the suite. I have been having a battle with them over this lately ...its broken every 2 weeks as well. All they care about is the gym and half the equipment is old and wonky. Certainly won't be renewing mine when it comes up.

Rapids is £33 a month....including pool and health suite...that is when its working. You get 5 one to one sessions with a trainer to set you up with a programme specific for your needs.....fatbusting ? ;-)

Now I wonder if that has anything to do with him going into the x-ray department yesterday??? Will see it this completes early next week.

Good post exactly the same as I see it....watched him quite a bit in the Ressies - He was thrown in far too early last year and put him back ages....same as Oscar Gobern.

Shame about Paertson going the other way though....hope we have a sell on fee as I am sure he will come good in the future

Garvan was the best player on the pitch by a country mle when we played them at home the other year - I remember it well as I had never heard of him and looked him up in the programme. Am surprised Ipswich would let him go.

All those people who have bought a ticket??

He was in Pompey kit ....thats what got my attention ... he is massive !

Why would David James be in a Southampton hospital this lunchtime getting x-rayed.....looks like his injury has flared up??

Shame they don't get reported for sh1te decisons like overruling linesmen ala James getting kicked which was a carbon copy of the Man Utd penalty against us the other year. Stonewall handball poor positoning by the ref again..... I have referee'd many games and this guy was shocking!

Well done totally ignoring the fact he got you by the shirt and throat - I am not saying it was right just that there were mitigating circumstances that you are ignoring.

I can tell Brightspark you have never played the game.....if someone grabs you by the shirt and throat you never respond??? In the heat of the moment in a tense area final???? So easy sat on your arse at home to criticise - I though we battled superbly and great to see us get stuck in and not be the pushovers we were under JP and Wotte.

I wouldn't say elective as she had no choice but to have the replacement - thanks for the good wishes. Totally agree with second bit as went through that whole process with MIL on the Island now there is a place that has fantastic elderley care.

I am not disputing what you say but my mum is 71 and just had a hip operation on the Choose and Book scheme at a private hospital via NHS was an inpatient for 4 days. The hospital does have quite a bit of experience in geriatric care though as they cover New Milton (Gods waiting room).

Because we couldn't wait for another 6 months gardening leave to go by without another of your pearls of wisdom....has Riquelme signed yet?

Sorry mate - only if you can work in Bangalore...because thats where 70% is going! Mine looks dodgy as well. Get yourself security cleared will help massively they can't offshore that.

We had over 50 who expressed an initial interest! Means bugger all - 90% are tyrekickers - not that you have much equity. Is his name Tommac???
