Don't worry the sash will go in the opposite direction

If we are talking of World Cup referees this weekend the BBC will probably recall Jack Taylor in 1974 and remind us he was a butcher from Wolverhampton. Please don't forget the first Englishman to ref a World Cup final, George Reader a former Saints chairman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Reader

Howard Webb...he's come a long way since Saints v Villa c2002 or 3.The only man at St Marys to see an infringement in our 6 yard box and give a penalty.No one appealed for it and the Villa players were trotting back upfield thinking it was our frre kick for a push by one of their players ..before the horror of it set in !

I also saw that article. So stolen hub cap alert in Southampton, and possibly Switzerland at the moment.

Not sure that we would want hinm now FR has signed,and doubt he would come as a cover player.Any idea - from your source -if Coid was first choice ahead of FR ? What news of the other suggested links from your contact ?

stiff

A good signing,especially as he was the Divisions PFA rb last season. The fact we know very little else about him - whereas Dickson is known for 'Bale like' runs into attack - suggests that Richardson is a 'solid' rather than spectacular rb, more of Rodrigues than a Golac !A good recruit though. Wecome Frazer,and well done to him and Saints for concluding this deal in a quiet dignified manner.* *as opposed to Calderon in megaphoning his 'deal' to the world...

refuse

scrotum

ditto....been saying that for ages

I agree, nice to see there are saints fans in Gloucestershire as well as myself!!!

Still no mention of memberships ?

Why,if a fee has been agreed,does it take a couple of weeks to finalise? Caldwell was meant to be joining his old boss Cotterill at skates.

Perhaps someone just overheard Cortese or Pardew on the phone saying something like "Owen the Saints.." and got the wrong end of the stick.

Leicester City panic over....Manderdick appears to have Sousa from Swansea

We used to have a club chaplain of course, and I assume still do. Perhaps we will also appoint a full time optician, or 'visual coach' though.(Five years after SCW first mooted it.).

Back up for who,or what? Car park attendant,or doorman?

Probably they would love to appoint him,especially with Manderdicks psychotic obsession with Saints.

Surprised Chelsea have not also got a gynaecologist and abortionist on their books as well.Possibly even as part of Terry's and Cole's contracts.

I think it is preferable that we manage to arrange a fixture with a team befitting of a match in Ted Bates honour, rather than a match against just anybody such as Reading.

Are they hoping no one recognises Beattie and Owen ?

Agree with both of you. He'd be a good choice for Fulham,although the downside of his appointment would be that its probably just another stepping stone back to Newcastle.
