What a fantastic half! When do you see premier league games like that? I love the football league - real football and real fans! I hope Blackpool win but then I wish Dave Jones well. Is it me or there's Saints connections in just about every televised game?

3-1 Blackpool 45 mins

What a waste of time this thread is. Is the intention just to keep on rehashing things for ever? Whatever anybody thinks only NC and AP know what the position was, is and will be in the future. More speculation is totally pointless.....

Hughes has a great reputation and would be successful here - maybe the catalyst to the premier league - but I doubt he's come anyhow. He's to good for us. Comparing Man City with us is pointless. He did well at Blackburn without the money.

Strange response. Presumably you have a problem with Merrington? Apologise if you wish, but he wasn't the culprit in "solentgate" it was Blackmore...

In fairness it was Adam Blackmore who was claiming it...not Dave Merrington.

I dont....... but it won't stop unless the club issues a statement. Mark Hughes coming, Paul Tisdale coming, AP to be sacked on Wednesday, programme gate, 606, Claridge having his say, the football league show and so on........

To stop all of this bloody rumour mongering and speculation.....

A statement rubbishing this by Cortese would be welcomed. Otherwise this wont go away.....

For me I hope he signs for us, let's see if his words are meaningless - and who would blame him if they were?

......because of this incredible belief that somehow no player could possibly not want to come to us even though it's reported that he's had his contract renewed by a championship side!

What fact? Just your opinion. Were you one of those criticizing AL? If he goes we can replace him with someone good enough to get us promoted - trust in AP.

oh no the grim reaper arrives on cue.....

.....he's not that great......get over it!

Exactly! I hope he still signs for us but he may get better opportunities in a Championship side with good facilities and who have finished the season strongly. The arrogance of some people is astounding!

which does mean that he might prefer playing in the championship rather than div 1.......

However, if MA was offered a new contract at Reading and an opportunity to start in the Championship?

What an amazingly arrogant post! Frankly I would value DM's opinion over yours anytime. I heard the interview and DM was making the point that Reading might try to keep him. Players out of contract can sign for anyone - Saints, Reading or someone else..... This was also confirmed by AP in his interview........

Thank Christ for that! COYR! Season not just over yet then.

Goodbye Fonte, goodbye play offs. FFS

Look the guy hasn't been here long! He's also been involved with all 3 goals scored this week. Great signing!

Frankly give it a rest would you? A record (I think) of P18 W9 D5 L4 F34 A15 Pts 32 with defeats to Leeds, Colchester and Tranmere away and Swindon home, three teams above us, 2 of the defeats over 3 months ago - all by the odd goal. I agree it could be better but it's hardly awful form is it?

I have 2 sons, 22 and 20 who would love it! I think I would but not so sure about the wife! The old man couldn't handle it but a great idea Stu!! Go for it!!
