the saint in winchester

Aaron Martin anyone?

This thread has gone off topic into cultural evaluation and town planning review! ----> LOUNGE! So, any comments on match day attendances? Pretty impressive for L1 generally.

6'2" centre back, 20 yo. Hopefully he'll have some pace at a young age. Yeah, sounds good. A Saints fan in his childhood, so he won't want to clear off to Liverpool or Man U in a few years. Ticks all the boxes. Good stuff.

haha, yeah. Let us know when there is OFFICIAL official news.

Ah right, it's not just me that has that experience then. :-) Any site that asks for my credit card details (for security) i close down the window.

One would hope, but the reality is that some (so-called) enlightened manager/club will take the view he has paid his debt and offer him a way back. Like Lee Hughes case. I hope Wigan can hold his player registration until he retires, then tear it up. He should be ashamed of his actions, but they were heightened by his denial of the charges, and insistence it was another bloke.

Paul Lambert scored for us! (according to the bloke on skysports) !!! huh :-)

handled on the line, apparently. Took the red card for the team.

Do we send them on at start of 2nd half? Or give them another 15 mins, then unleash the power for the final 30??

No, there's Mrs Merrington .. plus all in his street! :-)

now Brighton are winning as well! HELP!!!!

Wycombe are winning! :-( We NEED to win now to have any hope of maintaining our position. C'mon the lads.

In Michael Winner voice : "Calm down, dear, it's only a playoff."

is she Poppy? Poppy GoLightly?

I'm perplexed by this sequence of events. Seems I'm not alone in that. Guess we just have to wait and see.

This is real positive thinking, Richie. But .... as someone once said ... if my Auntie had balls, she'd be my Uncle! Let's see how things pan out. Nothing is impossible, nothing ... except my Auntie becoming my uncle ... mind you, even then ... oh don't want to think about that ...! :-)

Is that Chris Moyles there bottom left?

I wrote suggesting him when he was available previously. Of course, when a Prem club came in, he wanted that. But, as expected, he hasn't made their first team, so hopefully he may be looking to get some games. Agree your suggestion that if we can't keep Trotman, he would be an alternative.

Exactly. People talk about "shifting" them. They would need their contracts paying up in full or a negotiated settlement. If we're paying their salaries in full, there's no saving by asking them to leave. That's employment law - unless for gross misconduct they have breached their contracts resulting in dismissal .... and not making the first team won't count as misconduct!

Sounds like asking for the loan to be extended doesn't commit us too long, and it gives us a chance to get McLaggon back and operational. I see from a post today on the Reading Hobnobs forum one poster reckons an offer to buy would be smiled on. But for now a loan extension for another month or two would be good.

Jackie's right. This is what we do too - send our youngsters out on loan to lower level clubs to get them revved up, then have them back and bring them into the squad. I fear that as Antonio has done so well, they will be keen to take advantage of that themselves. Our best negotiating tool is likely that he would want to stick with us, as things are 'on the up' rather than fighting relegation in the CCC. If he is as good as everyone says, then yes buy him. Offer them 1/2 mill.

I'm starting to think we ARE too good for this league. Heck, can we play Leeds NOW!!!! Well played the lads, and the manager! I love being a Saints fan now.

Was it you, lardy, that said 2-1 - Hamster + Lambert. 20 mins from glory!

OMG! It IS Hammond and Lambert!!!!!!! yes!!!!!!!!!!

Sky saying Lloyd James cross, Hamster slid in.
