If we have to rely on Long as our goalscoring salvation then we are in deep sh!t.

Part of the staple diet of football in the 70's on The Big Match etc, when he was a pundit. Didn't always agree with him, and there was a pro-London club bias (not surpringly on LWT at the time),but enjoyed some of his "sermons". Only in later years did I realise his influence, and achievements (as manager of Coventry in particular). Always remember in the Euro Championships 1980, he and Lawrie Mac semed to enjoy clashing in the pre & post match summaries, both much more enlightening then the dullards they roll out now. Along with David Coleman, Brian Moore,Bill McLaren (and even Eddie Waring) he'll remain one of the voices of football/sport in my mind.

Dia ..(or dire if you want a proper word).

I thought it was still Monday lunchtime in 2003, as I recall slipping off to my car at that time to hear one of the draws.

Sad reflection but after the other night I am prepared to settle for a point, even though we should have had three against a p1ss poor Villa. I feared a 0-1 might have been the outcome before the game, and then we'd be seen as a team gone from comfortable to 'mini-crisis' in a week.

I think the mighty Kenyan is just warming up, to get himself into another public strop ahead of the transfer window re-opening. RK & Reed just just tell him bluntly, we are not selling you to thr yids, now get on with it.

Think we need a bit of cheer after the last two games, this might provide it for anyone remembering this match, Saints v Man Utd 1981: [video=youtube;bmPJ2f_D-DI] Sorry couldn't find a better film version of it.

That was possibly our big hope, but sad fact is we're not really an attraction to players at the £20m mark who really only see themselves in the Champions League. The clever thing to have done is sign him a year earlier when he left his previous club for £4m. Imbula was perhaps another possibility, but I got the impression that if we were interested at all,we were too late entering the race for him. As he's failed to settle at Porto you have to wonder if he'd have been the answer though.

That philosophy worked out well though didn't it ? Long term plan, but f^ck off at the first opportunity. As for Caulker - that fills me with dread.

Can't see Brighton selling him in January given their league position tbh. Unless of course there are contract issues and he only has a year left etc.

Ted Bates - from Div 3 (South) to Europe Lawrie - who remains the only manager to win a major trophy, and some great football played Adkins - provided some grweat memories Koeman - inhherited a beleagured squad and finished 7th Ball - provided saviour, and inspiration when we desperately needed it, brought some of the best in MLT out. Pardew - reversed the losing mentality,and a great day at Wembley After that its difficult, WGS provided us a cup final, and a promising future flickered, but not convinced he'd have taken us on the journey we wanted. Nicholl, and I never thought I'd say this in the 80's but desrves more credit than he gets in the history of Saints, you only have to look how we plummeted after he departed to realise what he did, and I still remember the 4-1 demolition of Liverpool ta THe Dell, with the young Shearr, Rod Wallace & MLT. With the exception of Pardew perhaps, most of the above are men of integrity, so that excludes Pochetino from joining their ranks. Similarly for Hoddle, for the way he departed, but on footballing terms the transformation under him probably merits 7th place.

Except this has only been posted by Pluto. Is he reliably ITK ?

According to many that was in August 2012.

Make that a minority of two. Mrs Brown follows the same principle as The Liver Birds, if the cast say anything in an accent the viewing public are expected to find amusing they will laugh at anything ( especially the more hysterical and loud the script is delivered). As for Ricky Gervais, whenever I've seen him I'm left questioning "is this even supposed to be humour?".

Heres an eloquent skate for you: After an article about two islamic brothers from skatesmouth being jailed http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/local/brothers-from-portsmouth-are-jailed-for-plotting-terrorist-acts-1-7073197#axzz3rxy0JS3A He does have a valid point, but perhaps its lost in the translation.

Another vote for the dog displays.... About time we got rid of the current one, he's an embarrasment, but it was only a matter of time before he signed for Liverpool or Poch wanted him again.

I'd be disappointed if thats the most startling revealation about his time with us in the book.

Politicians across Europe have made last nights events possible by allowing the mass migration of people whose culture is completely at odds with the West. Meanwhile Merkel and her cosy gang of liberal minded types allow wave after wave to enter mainland Europe.

Can't begin to imagine the grief and suffering of those involved so initial thoughts are with them and their families. Sad thing is that although this is shocking and terrifying, it is no great surprise that another event like this has happened. It was always a case of "when and where" rather than "if".

Presumably they've not been asked to re-apply for membership ? Perhaps Berwick Rangers should also challenge the Scots calling their league the Scottish League..

Yes but I like the original post from 11th July 2015: I suppose he was right in so far as it was announced Monday 9th November.
