Channon's Sideburns

I think his nickname should be 'Crab' - just moves sideways...

One performance doesn't make a career - end of. Unless you're Lallana or Ali Dia...

See..that's better. Basically, 1st Half upfront with Rasiak - GOOD 2nd Half, roaming - PONCY AND INEFFECTIVE. Not his fault, as he wasn't the worst. But I think he won't last in L1 - simply, he will get kicked all over the park. He (as a player) is probably too good for this league...even tho Bmth made him look fairly ordinary 2nd half.

Hard to disagree with that... Rasiak was a disgrace...no effort made really. Lallana was better upfront with Rasiak 1st half, but poncy and ineffective 2nd half. Paterson good, Lloyd James M.O.M for me in centre midfield...looked good. Put it this way, our 'young stars' were shown up by fitter young players in the Bmth side... Time to face it, regardless of all the guff about our Academy...Bmth's youngsters were better than ours...who are....just actually not THAT GOOD. Six players needed MINIMUM to turn us around...and Rasiak can foook off. Plus....Bournemouth's organisation was poor - not to plan accordingly with anticipating more Saints fans was embarrassing - and the fact it took them ages to agree to open up more of the stand for our supporters was poor. ...and they ran out of HOT WATER at half-time...so couldn't sell drinks...plus no Beer... Funny how there seemed to be more Saints fans there than Bmth...haha

Would be fantastic to see Big Ron at SMS soon....can anyone get some Ron footage to Mr Leibherr?? ;-)

Defo the Albion Band...christ that used to be good, especially when one or two either got struck with a stray practice ball or fell over.... Perhaps Pole Dancers in the Centre Circle as well?

Well..well...well.. Never boring are we??!! Anyway, thank you to Mark Wotte for sticking around during the summer, hope that the pay-up on the contract is compensation for the loss of the job. We wanted a clean sweep - I think we're getting it. Good luck Mark - and I do mean that, I was getting to like you. All the best... But who next???!!!??

If anyone wants to know why this country has been heading down the toilet, it's attitude like his. Refusing to play for us now? That's gratitude. Don't let the door bang you on the ar$e on your way out - loser...

Sorry guys, didn't see this thread before I started this... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=14660 TBH, if he wants to go, fine. Just hope he packs two pairs of trackies in his bag - he'll need them to keep his ar$e warm on the bench...

OK I'll bite on that one... No..not patronising....just pointing out some truths to him that somebody should - so do you think he's out of order with his thoughts then DD? I think he is. His attitude is symptomatic of why we ended up being relegated - 'I'm alright Jack'....aged just 21 acting like a spoilt 12 year old. Needs to put his dummy back in and give it some graft. Or ask Chris Baird, Martin Crainie, Matt Mills et al if the grass is always greener....Mills is the only one who has achieved anything since leaving - and he had to go down the leagues to do that after Man City. Far from accelerating his career, moving to the Prem now could damage it. Hey-ho, but Adam would be richer, as would his agent. Which, today is what it's all about eh?

Well being 'talked up' all last season did a lot of good didn't it? He needs somebody, family or agent, to take him aside and have a quiet word - just what has he achieved so far to earn a big money move? He ain't Theo. Yeah, harsh but true.

Apart from Wotte's quotes in the press about him not wanting to play in the last two pre-season games as his 'head is not right'... Yeah too right...he needs a reality check.

Adam, We understand that since your time with the U21's you may have heard lots of lovely stories about girlies with big gazumas who will be falling all over you once you get to the Premiership...hell the money is enticing enough. However, you need to grow up and follow the lead of your club captain. LOYALTY Loyalty to the club that gave you an opportunity last season, which, let's face it, you didn't really grasp. Your talent is unquestioned, but one average season is not going to even get you on the bench in the Prem. Ask Drew in six months how he's finding it (even tho I don't think he wanted to leave). Loyalty to the fans that supported you - as one part of a disasterous season you OWE it to us to stick around and give 100% this season - after that, you can go with my blessing. We have a new beginning - if you don't want to be part of it, fine. In the meantime, keep it shut, get your head down and PLAY FOOTBALL. This 'Billy Big Balls' routine is very tiresome - WE DESERVE BETTER.

I'm in...

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Markus...you are a star! I have had a little tear or two... GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alps and DD are both ok. Yes differing views but FFS why else would anyone bother in posting on here? Christ I'd even give Rupey Baby the chance to air his views on here but I guess his butler has enough to do already.... Mikey on the other hand loves this place, fair play to him. So does Tony Lynam, but we won't go there. We stand on the cusp (not precipice) of a new era, now Keith Harris and Cuddles miraculously reappear just as the deal is done...to use my own phrase...'Sorry Rupert you've walked onto the platform just as the Hogwarts Express is leaving the station' Bet your bottom dollar that Lowe's involved in that bid...maybe not financially but enough to make suitable mischief... BREATHE OUT!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reported on Solent (Adam Blackmore) on 4pm news...makes sense, transfer of funds normally take two to three working hours.

That Solent thing earlier WAS just a trailer. They've been playing it for days...I should know, been listening to the daft old bint in the afternoon on the hope we'll get some news... However, hottie Alina Jenkins is on instead this p.m...so fear not friends...I will update as and when...

All this F5'ing is doing my wrists no good whatsoever....reminds me of being 14 all over again... Ahhhh...Belinda Carlisle....haha

I predict an announcement at SMS at 12noon...off to set up Sky+ now...

That's nice....yay! Back to the 80's!

Fear not...for once their's will fall through and we will have ours...in turn we shall return to the natural balance of power on the South Coast...all will be well in the world once more...upwards and onwards my friends! We get knocked down - but get up again - ain't no-one going to keep us down!

If it does turn out to be Ms Liebherr... Can we say she's a 'hottie to trottie'???/

Solent report was mainly Blackmore talking to Mark Fry, he wouldn't or couldn't divulge any more info on the people involved - they are now waiting for the Football League. Fry said tho that he is 'more confident than ever that we will achieve a deal' and asked for a continuation of the fans' patience..... PATIENCE!!!!!! ffs!!!
