I'm with the OP. I have been offered a full corporate hospitality package (got to be there at 11.30 for a 2.30 koff. I wonder what we will be doing for those 3 hours!!) I never get corporate hospitality so cannot miss out on this one!!

I think the bookies are a more reliable indicator of what is going to happen than the press. The spread betting firms in particular offer predictions on the number of points each team will gather. Sporting Index offer: Leicester City Points SELL76 - 78BUY West Ham Points SELL76 - 78BUY Reading Points SELL70 - 72BUY Nottingham Forest Points SELL69.5 - 71.5BUY Southampton Points SELL68 - 70BUY Birmingham Points SELL66 - 68BUY Leeds Points SELL66 - 68BUY Burnley Points SELL66 - 68BUY Hull City Points SELL66 - 68BUY Ipswich Points SELL66 - 68BUY Middlesbrough Points SELL65 - 67BUY Cardiff City Points SELL64.5 - 66.5BUY Brighton Points SELL64.5 - 66.5BUY Blackpool Points SELL62 - 64BUY Millwall Points SELL58 - 60BUY Portsmouth Points SELL57 - 59BUY Bristol City Points SELL56.5 - 58.5BUY Derby Points SELL55 - 57BUY Crystal Palace Points SELL53 - 55BUY Peterborough Points SELL52 - 54BUY Watford Points SELL51.5 - 53.5BUY Doncaster Points SELL51.5 - 53.5BUY Barnsley Points SELL51 - 53BUY Coventry City Points SELL50.5 - 52.5BUY (You sell if you think the result will be less than the prediction, you buy if you think a team will gain more) On the whole, I think this is a pretty fair summing up. Can anyone spot any value?? I think we may be quoted a little on the high side but will not bet against my team. Brum and Pompey look overrated. palace could be the surprise team. Last season under Dougie Freeman they recovered well from the mess that Burley had created. I do not expect them to be champions but I think they will get more than 55 points.

I warn you ... this is truely awful ..... Man knocks on door to deliver parts... "are you Nelson Mandela?" "yes" "I've got 500 Nissan Micra steering wheels here for you" Nelson reply's "I didn't want those but just leave them in a pile over there" Next day another man comes to the door... "are you Nelson Mandela?" "yes" "I've got 350 Nissan hub caps here for you" "I didn't want those but leave them with the steering wheels over there" The next day another man comes to the door... "are you Nelson Mandela?" "yes" "I've got 200 Nissan car seats for you here" "I didn't want those but leave them over there with the rest" The next day another man comes to the door... "are you Nelson Mandela?" "yes" "I've got 800 Nissan windscreen wiper blades for you here" Nelson reply's "let me have a look at that piece of paper... this is for "Nissan main dealer"!"

Hilarious. You ought to take up comedy writing for a living. Genius like this is wasted on the Saints Forum. Hollywood beckons. Why don't you go over there and give them the benefit of your great wit??

Great post

What a surprise - Turkish in a "lets do down Southampton" post. Do you ever post anything positive?? (Unfortunately his post has been quoted so cannot be ignored!! )

Antonio

I reckon he realises that he has missed out on his duty free and he is having regrets.. If he had joined us he would have been in Switzerland now. On the way back he could have topped up on his duty frees. Instead Doncaster had their first match of pre season at Armthorpe(is that where Last of the Summer Winne is based?) and their next pre season game is at Barrow. Life in the fast lane at Donny!

I agree entirelty. Nobody makes you iead a thread. If you don't like it , move on. Why get a thread deleted??

Very clever ... now just run off and leave your wife's / sister's PC alone. Corp, you have no credibility on this board. Just go along and play with your fishy mates. If we want to correspond with a Skate we will talk with Mack. He at least knows how to write.

I am pleased that he never came here. Give me Nigel any day over Howe.

According to you we stood no chance of getting Cork. He would be sure to prefer West Ham , Leicester or Burnley ahead of us. I have never understood why you are so down on the team that you support. Perhapsin future you will think twice before posting your negative,belittling sarcastic comments.

What like CMS who they were definitely going to buy?

Look fella, I think a bit of an explanation is required. Back in January, when you were too yellow to appear on this board , anothersaintinsouthsea collected a few of Corp's most memorable posts and destroyedthem!! If you would like to read it , it is on page 728. Last week, about 6 months later, Corp tried to answer it ... but made a bit of a horlicks of it. Clearly Corp's family motto is not "When you are stuck in a hole, stop digging." So I do not really think that anothersaininsouthsea needs to be admonished for a lack of argument where Corp is concerned. and anywayCorp is a c u n t isn't he!!

Whaattt - there is a Mrs Corp Ho !!!! She has my sympathies. I think this must be one of the most amazing revelations in this thread. I presume that there are no Corpettes - surely people like him are not allowed to breed!!!

I knew you would come round to our way of thinking ;-)

Not yet. We already have enough players to make up a team and have players left over for a subs bench. Do you??

Says the boke who has posted 5,400 times on this forum. PMSL

Nice try but don't expect to get any meaningful insight out of him. He would rather start to bang on about crowds of 45k watching Champion League football.

But why not say something about Pompey? They are meant to be our rivals aren't they. You keep on banging on about crowds of 45k and Champions Leabue football and bringing it ino every thread. . Do you think we are nearer to achieving that than Pompey??

lol

One thing is for sure. We are nearer to playing in the Champions League in front of 45,000 fans than Pompey are!!

So now why are you slightly unsure? Its now 6 pm and according to you he was signing today.

Hang on.This morning according to you CMS was definitely signing today for them. Now it is only likely that he will sign for them. Why the hint of uncertainty now ?? Surely you have not got something wrong have you????

As I said, go on to the Leicester site and reassure them that they are a big spending club. They need your assurance.
