Around six weeks ago my missus had her car broken into while she collected the nipper from school. She had a phone and wallet nicked that she had rather stupidly left on the back seat. Dumb mistake but I cannot say I have never done the same. As the tea leaves went to speed off in their dodgy looking car, another car blocked their way, leaving just enough time for a clear thinking local to get the registration details of the motor. Cops eventually arrived, statements taken from all, cards and phone cancelled, etc etc. I have just had a copper call me to tell me they arrested these three scumbags the next day, who denied everything despite being in the same car, in the same place. It seems the OB had actually taken the case seriously and put together a comprehensive case for prosecution. The policeman told me they had a file of evidence six inches thick against them. They sent it to the CPS and it has come back with 'not enough evidence to warrant a prosecution'. The copper I spoke to was gobsmacked. I just cannot believe that, even when the police take the case this seriously and do not just fob you off with a crime number, the CPS then do not allow them to go for a prosecution. So there are three more thieves that have got away with daylight robbery (literally) as well as driving away at 50mph outside a school with primary aged kids running around...I despair.

The problem was the cost of the technology. Around £250,000 per goal I think from memory. The debate was then whether the clubs paid for it or the FA. Of course the next issues is how far down the leagues does it go, because £500,000 x 92 is a lot of dough I agree with this. But all it would take was the FA to rule that only the captain can address the referee and anyone else arguing gets an immediate booking. Anyone shouting at or arguing with the ref is booked. The captain can go up to the ref on his own to talk to him. Job done - three weeks of chaos then order restored.

I need a new boiler, plus flushing the system etc and have had a quote from British Gas. Looking for someone in the Basingstoke area who might be able to do this for me. If you are interested pm me! Cheers

I think that this has been dealt with before but quoting from page 26 of Matt Le Tissier Testimonial Magazine, May 2002: Matt: "Right - my basic weekly wage has never been above four grand a week!"

I miss The Dell. But some of the best moments I have experienced at football matches have come at SMS. To name but a few - Crouchie's goal against The Skates from the pen in the FA Cup - Camara's goal against Norwich to make it 4-3 - Matty's testimonial (especially at the end) - The games against Leeds and Southend at the end of the play off season - My son's first ever Saints game - The game against Newcastle at the end of Sturrock's season (3-3, one of the best games I have ever seen) The problem is not with SMS but with the stuff that has happened off the park to get us to where we are.

Hiya Hope this is the right place to put this request. I run a small business that has been going for around 18 months. I need some practical technical support on a range of issues that I either do not have time or am not capable of dealing with. These range from setting up networks to remotely sharing files, to backups, to hardware issues etc. I am not a technical luddite but I do not have time to cover off many of these issues and want some practical support. It occurred to me that other Saints fans might be in a similar situation or may work for companies that can help. Might be a good opportunity for someone that provides these services.. If you think you can help me, the company is in the Basingstoke/Reading area and obviously I am prepared to pay for services required once an initial consultation and needs analysis has been completed. PM me if you can recommend a person or a company! Or leave the details below if you prefer. Thanks a lot Chuz

I wonder if Jan realises that both Palace and Sunderland had a change of manager before they had a change of fortune...
