Did they actually get that last batting bonus point? Must have been close and probably caused the mini collapse I suppose.

I think clubs who are interested have sussed this, that's why they only want him on loan. If we can see it, so can other clubs - they're not stupid. He'll be back in January, then back off to Blackpool on loan until the end of the season

Beattie wouldn't be on the bus - he'd want a chauffeur driven limo. Billy big b*ll*x and a disruptive influence on the most together squad we've ever had. Adkins would be mad to even consider him. Plus the fact that he's completely finished - did nothing at Everton, Stoke, Blackpool or Rangers.

Please let this be true

woosh

The German group, Vermögende für eine Vermögensabgabe (The Wealthy for a Capital Levy) is the latest manifestation of a feeling among some well-off individuals that the spare cash in their bank accounts might be able to ease, if not solve, the financial crises threatening to cripple their countries. "None of us are in Buffett's or Bettencourt's league," said the founder, Dieter Lehmkuhl, a retired doctor with assets of €1.5m (£1.3m). "We're a broad church – teachers, doctors, entrepreneurs. Most of our wealth is inherited. But we have more money than we need." The group's manifesto claims Germany could raise €100bn (£88.5bn) if the richest paid a 5% wealth tax for two years. If I was a German billionaire I would move to Switzerland to avoid this type of nonsense. HTH

When you consider that Leeds found Asa Hartford's hole in the heart problem donkey's years ago show that players' medicals have been pretty thorough for years.

Waist?

He's a brilliant header of the ball and wins most in the air - but as he's got older he's got too slow for this league and will get found out at this level. Would make a good defense coach though I would imagine.

To be fair, he quite often comes up with lunatic decisions of his very own.

Perhaps somebody should approach David Peace to write "The Damned Southampton" - based on Simon Clifford's story. Would be an interesting read.

All Prem teams obviously base their entire scouting network around The Football League Show. They wouldn't know any of our players even existed if it wasn't for said coverage. I think we should draw their attention to what else is available on television on Saturday nights in the hope that they will miss any potential targets.

25,860 I can do pedantry too.

Steve Staunton wasn't playing for either side and is anyway far too old now to play for anyone. Staunton is innocent of any wrongdoing in this match.

Tbf that wasn't D'Urso but that equally poor referee Peter Walton (still a Prem ref amazingly)

Used to be really good until GM got hold of them - had 3 9000's and an old-style 900. Then bought the ex an new-style 900 (GM), after she'd written off the old-style , and it was pants in comparison. Wouldn't touch one now. BTW the 9-3 used to have a problem with a cracking bulkhead, don't know if it's been addressed now.

Not these days I'm afraid.

Last season against Plymouth was nearly 22k. And it was on Sky. I hope Mr. Cortese's got his sums right.

What the hell was Strauss playing at? Should have declared when Bresnan was out - thankfully they're all out now for 544, but could have had 25 minutes extra before lunch to try and skittle a couple out. Strauss's (sp) reluctance to declare when in a winning position continues to be a worry, thankfuuly the decision has been taken away from him.

As it happens I do find £16 a match expensive for second-rate football. There are loads of people on here saying you must pay more for Championship football - and the same people saying they only go to watch Saints. As Saints are basically the same team as last season - you're apparently paying more to watch a better standard of opposition. So which is it? You can't have it both ways.

It's my choice though - you have a problem with that? I intend to go to a load more concerts at the Brook instead - better value.

I have moved from inside the stadium to outside. Price increases are a joke.

Oxymoron
