rumour on the BBC deadline day ticker that Tommy Smith has gone to QPR.

Apparently it's Kitson wanting a payout from Stoke that's holding the deal up. He obviously really wants to go there and try his hardest(!) (this comes from one of their forums, so not sure of the sauce)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulfletcher/2010/08/pardew_sacking_at_saints_raise.html#248300 Well balanced article on it here.

We're at St Mary's Stadium of course. On the Southampton version of Monopoly.

And I'm top (For tonight at least...) Now... can I stay there.... Have to admit I'm liking the Prem so far this season, the most I've enjoyed it in ages, probably because it's not Man Utd that are the holders. Last season it'd been them for 3 seasons and looked likely to be a 4th as well.

Actually looking forward to seeing that lol. (not that I'll actually pay money for it, read it online of course...)

He then went on to say "we're closer to agreeing personal terms with one than the other" so seems like niether has actually finally agreed yet.

ohcrap. EDIT: No we haven't conceded, Lallana off injured.

I can see why the FL allowed that one loan signing now... quite glad they did lol.

We needed that.... First of at least 21 for him this season I reckon

Jose Fonte Baby!

Don't fall for Pompey's PR. The FL have allowed one loan so far, Sonko, which is more than covered by their emergency conditions clause. THAT IS ALL. If the FL allow anyone else to sign for them, then complain, but as things stand, it's all Pompey saying that everything is ok, with not a lot of evidence to back it up.

I'll go for a grand total of 135.

Wow! Really? I hadn't heard!

From Dagenham and Redbridge. 19 year old that goes into the development squad. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2136827,00.html Aaaaaand I completely missed the other thread. Sorry.

Explains why AA is so reluctant to sell to anyone else though. You can bet if he doesn't become owner Chanrai will be enforcing the 80% of all sales goes to him.

I'm liking the start I've made

Finish just one extra chance a game.

Y'know, sometimes I wonder why some people bother to support their football team. They pay a lot of money for the privilege and it never seems to give them any pleasure whatsoever. About the best they ever feel is that things are 'ok'. Not saying that it's right or wrong to support a team like that, but what keeps you coming back? Is it a moth to a flame thing or what?

They're like a patient with kidney failure. They've just been given dialasys and are feeling a lot better, but they're still gonna need a transplant before they're out of the woods.

All this talk about it not being the fans fault is bull hooks anyway. If that's the case then they can't celebrate beating us, that was nothing to do with them either. Their fans will just have to put up with the cheats label. In any case, I'm beginning to wonder if their takeover is ever actually going to go through, even with the cva agreed.

Not according to your administrator. Maybe not the only access, but looks like Gaydamak owns enough ground around the stadium. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1299287/Portsmouth-held-ransom-owner-Alexandre-Gaydamak.html

Both. The only access to the stadium is across the carpark that Gaydamak owns.

Karma? So because some Saints fans were angry about your club cheating, our owner deserved to die? **** off you ****.
