Probably a bit low on the ginger count as well to be honest. I hope we don't get a points deduction at the end of the year.

Nothing on OS about this, but I found this c/o Google: http://www.bbc.co.uk/lancashire/content/articles/2009/02/13/my_job_david_chell_man_city_feature.shtml

That might have gone down quite well last night, "excuse me, Taffy, some bloke up there...."

Saturday...home game...De Ridder should start ahead of Guly in my book.

Boro drawn...so we stay top.

De Ridder.........

Unfortunately I don't think we really have another option do we, other than perhaps moving someone ot of position ?

**** sake

Saimts should have had pen

Free Kick saints

Stop giving the ball away saints

FFS Guly

Coys

Freudian slip.

Reptile Allardyce might be involved again ?

Agree,far better than the preposed Stoneham venture.

Can't wait to hear Clotterrill on Solent.We're trying to tune in - bit difficult from Gloucestershire.

Beattie with his sensible and sober head on, rather than the 'muffin man' head, would be a good option as back up providing he knows his limitations at 33 and does not expect to be the main man anymore. But having just issued his job application via the Echo, I suspect the door will be truly bolted if it wasn't before, as we no longer conduct our business in this way.

Frank Worthington used to make a habit of it. Ian Wright,and John Barnes probably prolonged their career because of us. And Dion Dublin.

Yes, I remember the talk of Western Esplanade at the time. As a teenager I was quite excited by the prospect of a new stadium having seen it on local tv. My Dad soon spiked this enthusiasm by pointing out Saints were talking about a new round when he was my age. For decades I expected to be saying the same thing to my children,so was delighted when SMS was built. Go on try us.

I think that might have been at the Milton or Archers end.

I think the idea of turning the pitch around was mooted in the late 60's/early 70's, but I can't imagine how that could have been achieved without major disruption for two seasons or more. In the 70's I believe the club also started to buy houses behind the East Stand - name of the road escapes me but must have walked through it hundred's of times - to expand in that direction also,

That is far too a sensible suggestion for it to happen.

That was the name of a player Dave Jones desperately tried to bring to us from Stockport.

I would have put CMS ahead of say Billy Sharp in our shopping list. But as others have said a lot might depend on the CMS ego and demands, ie wages,automatic selection if fit etc. He was never going to be 'main man' here,and I'm not sure his ego would accept that. As such,there is no place for him on Adkin's bus.
