145 all out They had a bit of a slog at the end.

There is NOTHING about this on SSN. Just usual carp going round in circles.

It all rather reminds me of the "Solent City" idea which was talked about in the late 60's. Supposedly this was to be built by filling in the space between Southampton and Portsmouth creating a massive conurbation. Therefore I propose that this merged club be called Solent City - as, let's face it, if it happened we'd never be united.

On what could be a very sad day for SFC, I was highly amused this morning to hear that P*mpey officials were travelling to London today to offer their magnificent facilities in England's bid to host the 2018 World Cup. Maybe they'll try for the Final.

Post of the century (so far!)

Yes, but Wembley doesn't have a retractable roof, so its hardly a similar stadium, is it?

Fascinating stuff. Pity they can't get Wembley right - I don't buy all the excuses, they don't seem to have any trouble at similar stadia worldwide. They need to dig it up down to the foundations and start again - not just re-lay it yet again. Not that I know what I'm talking about.

I'd have us at more like 250-1. Leicester had a storming season, if they'd started on -10 they wouldn't have won it. I can't see us matching their record next season - play-offs at best, and that's being optimistic. Keep your money in your pockets folks!

1.25 Saturday afternoon and I am watching Man U v Arsenal on the box. I've stopped now cos I don't really care and its lunch at the Test Match. But the one thing that struck me - as it ALWAYS does at SMS is the perfect state of the pitch. It seems to be the same story at all clubs these days. Its May FFS - the end of a long hard season. I remember when all clubs' pitches this time of year were mud and sand deserts with about three blades of grass on them. Some were truly horrendous - anybody remember the Baseball Ground? I have a Saints programme from January 10th 1959 (v. Blackpool FA Cup Round 3) and I quote from dear old Ted's programme notes: "Last week I am afraid the Swindon mud, plus three defensive mistakes, cost us the points" Can you imagine some of today's Premiership prima donnas playing on some of the awful pitches that were the norm back then? What I want to know is - how does the modern groundsman produce and maintain these brilliant pitches - what's changed? Anyone know?

If the worst comes to the worst - and the club folds. But I'm sure it won't. We have to keep this forum going.

Reminds me of the old days! You gotta laugh. PS - I know nothing

He could do a job for us - but sadly they never seem to be able to

Ah - self-corrected

Shouldn't that be clients' needs. One has to assume they have more than one client.

Oh gawd Why don't you go and support your local club - they haven't had a very good day. They need a new manager - Gunn isn't up to the job. May I suggest Glenn Hoddle?

http://www.pinnacleproperty.net/contact.htm It doesn't bode well that these people can't even spell 'correspondence' on their own website. Makes them look like a bunch of amateurs.

He'd crack under the pressure in five minutes - as always

Good article - spot on in my view

Hayes & Yeading 2 Eastleigh 4 - final score Brilliant effort

It all seems worryingly familiar to me!

lol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pini_Zahavi Sounds just the kind of gentleman we need - NOT!

Sorry, just a joke. I'm sure we'll do OK.
