This picture never fails to make me laugh.

Good signing. He looked quality at Fulham.

I got a feeling Martinez will end up at Spurs. If he goes i'm sure the keeper and a few of their others will follow him out the door.

They look decent, however the glaring error is that they are using an image of last seasons kit which is a shameful lack of forethought. The cloudy sky with the sun peaking through? That suggests an image to me of dark times with a glimmer of hope, our promotion to the premier league is anything but. Again, poor thinking.

not yet. I did expect there to be a few ignoring our history, this club has been around for 126 years not 3, type rants.

I've got trimmers FFS.

Personally i wont be statisfied until we have Molton Brown hand cleaner in the toilets.

This guy is quality. I'd love to see him in a Saints shirt, i dont think it'll ever happen though. To think Wigan got him for £2.5m.

Where would you say our season ticket packaging compares to the average premier league ones?

Indeed, although it seems turning the majority of our fanbase from looking like they've ram raided TK Maxx to anything resembling stylish will require a bigger miracle than the parting of the Red Sea.

Premier packaging for a premier club sunshine. Everything we do these days is brimming with class.

Who is he?

Exciting developments with the 2012/13 premier range. Each foam had now comes with velcro words that can be changed depending on the opposition and situation. For example "going down" when we play a relegation threaded team with a giant foam hand thumbs down. "off, off, off" when a player gets sent off whilst the foam hand is pointing towards the tunnel "premier league, we're having a laff" as a reposte to the inevitable chant "Cheerio" for the late stages of the game when losing fans are leaving. Imagine the sight of 10,000 foam hands waving with that insult on them!!! For an additional £15.99 they can also by a bag of letters for those wacky and inventive enough to come up with own. I'm also planning to launch a new range of flags and badges with a Saints fan p*sing on a Barcelona shirt and the words"you dirty Catalan bastardos we're coming for you" written underneath.

None that matter.

I wouldn't be surprised if we've got one or two out of contract players to join us at the beginning of July as well.

It seems some of our mental fans can't get their heads around the fact that any other club in the world might spend any money on improving their facilities, it's only us that do this.

according to reports his wages have gone up massiely on our promotion and Yeovil wanted to sign him but this priced them out.

How do you know how much they are spending?

Wolves & Reading are expanding their staidum, Arsenal and Tottenham are currently upgrading their training ground. That's 4 off the top of my head.

Because it means nothing until they come to matches.

It's true. Steve Bruce said only the other day that if clubs like Swansea, Wigan and Southampton can make the Premier League why cant Hull.

First the bar code scanners, now this. We truely are being the Manchester United of the South

Its hilarious to be honest Jamie. Plenty of "gulp" posts this morning. What did people think was going to happen? we have to play them all sometime!!! Only a couple of weeks ago everyone was full of it, lots confident of top ten finishes and the season will be a walk in the park.

It's going to be great for fancy dress.

I agree. We need our signings in place by the time preseason starts to hit the ground running. There has been a lot of talk, a lot of links and a lot of speculation. It seems just like last summer and in the January transfer windows we are fannying about and struggling to attract players. Here we are preseason only a few weeks ago and only one unproven striker signed up. Our squad has already been significantly weakened by the release of players or outward loans. A bit less talking to talk and a bit more walking the walk from Cortese and Adkins please.
