Eire Saint

Missed a vital penalty in the play-off shootout as far as I remember, not a great way to end a career.

I'm here too. Living in Kildare. I remember saints playing a pre-season game against St.Pats, must be around 15 years ago. Lost 2-1 I seem to recall. Don't think they've been over since.

So it's: 1. Man City (15 billion) 2. QPR (14.9 billion) 3. Chelsea (7 billion) 4. Arsenal (3.74 billion) 5. Saints (2.7 billion) That sounds good to me! Does this mean we'll be able to hold onto our academy players from now on?

still a legend.

Don't mean to tempt fate, but assuming this takeover does go through, the swiss bidder should be commended for the manner in which they have conducted their business. No fanfares heralding their arrival on the scene, no daily updates on SSN to say 'nearly there, any day now..', no trying to big themselves up by releasing their 'vision' for the future of the club, no shouting how much money they have, no leading the fanbase on. No spin, no rhetoric. They just kept their heads down, got on with it after pinnacle were out of the equation, and are now on the brink. Hopefully this professionalism will help a united club repair the damage suffered to it's reputation from here on in.

My fortune at the moment is about 10 euro, some change and a bit of lint. Hasn't put other people off making enquiries I suppose, but it's not me I'm afraid.

Okay, too late on that one! Leon Best
