Agree about Huddersfield being in the final mix this season. Norwich have quietly gone about their business with some good signings for this division.

Yes,by Sheringham.Another reason to hate the bastard.As if playing for mancs.yids,and skates was not enough reason.

Due a win then on Sky.

Nagging suspicion we lost 2-1 at home that day...to Millwall. Will check. EDIT: Now checked ITN and it was Millwall.

2012 - Swiss Equestrian team will be training at St Mary's. 2018 - Markus & Co will rattle the City Council to become a host city.I'm sure his family will find a crane or two to help put up a new stand or so at SMS in double quick time if required. Sorted.

I expect AP will have brought in some more options before Millwall.

Agree with this.Thomas is too injury prone,and allied with the occasional suspension after seeing red mist can not be relied upon for the full season.Perry at his age is also a good squad member but should not be considered first choice for 46 games.

Can't we give Anthony Pulis a short run in the team so that his old man buys him back as well ? Oh forgot.He's perpetually injured.

His QC also acted in defending Ken Dodd, and many years ago Jeremy Thorpe. He is now trying to get Stevie Wonder a driving licence.

with every four gallons.

Ditto.We are too reliant on ageing or injury prone players in that department for my liking.Same might be said for RB as well if Murty signs. Volz and Whitbread could be the answer but not sure if we could attract either.

Totally agree.Mortimore should not be subject to the same measures as former directors. In principle though,I think ML is correct on this in limiting the number of freeloaders.

Leicester have signed a winger from Lincoln this summer.Perhaps a loan might be an option for Gradel.

Perhaps he'll be an attraction in Blackpool being led up and down the beach giving kids rides.

Murty ... Fat, unfit, and off the pace? Definitely.But still so much better than James at rb for much of last season.

Has an uncanny resemblance to a character in a film played by Jack Nicholson (but can't recall film etc). Perhaps St Mary's is the setting for a new film "The caterer always rings twice..".

Agree that an outfield player would be better as captain.However I don't see too much leadership quality in our current squad so it night have to be someone bought in.Ideal candidate for me would be Matt Oakley,which may not be as unrealistic as it first seems. Thats an intersting option but not convinced Gillot will be a fixture in the side.

Isn't Kevin Dillon a skate c^nt ?

Could we not also have larger pictures of Rogerfryisalegend's,and Drain076's avatars as options ? I think I missed these the first time round.

Are we not conveniently overlooking the fact that he is German ?

It seems a little unfair raising this before the poor bastard has even got his feet under the table,but perhaps a perfectly valid question in view of the 'revolving door' practice in football management these days. A)I expect AP would be attracted by a move to the Prem or a higher profile club esp. in London(we are in the third tier now lets be honest).So keep a watch on developments at say,Fulham,QPR or Palace. B)Not the star name many hoped for but realistically we would not have attracted a more experienced and able manager in our position. If he leaves us after building the foundations as he did at Reading then he will have done a good job.

Not bothered about todays result. It is more about celebrating Saints continued existance and welcoming Markus Liebherr,Cortese and Pardew than the result.If we are stuffed 5 or 6-0, then sit back and watch Ajax hopefully play with some style. I expect us to lose 1-4,although not sure where our goal will come from. Hope we create a good atmosphere for ML.

Obviously an SFC influence there,we did teach them how to play afterall.

Striker : Stuart Fleetwood from Charlton on Monday.Assuming Pardew signed him initially at Charlton.
