Yes, I understand that. However, the Guardian are suggesting that the debts were paid in full. I thought ML paid just a percentage of that, an amount which satisfied the creditors, Aviva being the main one.

Which? My take on it or the Guardian's?

Just read this article on the Guardian website: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/david-conn-inside-sport-blog/2010/feb/10/portsmouth-cardiff-hmrc-winding-up 'except at Southampton, where last year Markus Liebherr paid Saints' debts in full' I did not think that was the case at all. I thougt he paid approx. £12M for the club most of which was paid to Aviva for the stadium even though the outstanding amount was approx. £22M?

Someone find David Luker's email address.

Sorry, but he was very lucky to stay on the pitch. the booking could easily have been a red card and I was amazed he did not get a yellow after AL was fouled. We were lucky we didn't have an over fussy ref. Yes, I admire his fight and passion but he stepped over the line last night. On another day that could cost us dear.

It took an age to get out of the ground last night but I noticed how long ML stood there after the final whistle. He was clearly just revelling in the atmosphere and sharing the fans joy. It was a special, special night. For me, hearing the 'We're the famous Southampton and we're going to Wemberley' brought back some wonderful memories of 1979 v Forest.

I'll be leaving shortly for the game. Looking forward to it immensely especially with a full house, but I am bloody nervous.

+1 I'm currently on my third pair today. Seriously though I am desperate to get to Wembley but can't help thinking we're going to make a right royal f*** up of it tonight.

What ******. Leeds are not taking it seriously are they? Norwich were all smiles when they lost the penalty shoot out. It would be a great day for everyone at the club.

There is more to life than having lot's of money. I know this because you're making *** loads and you're still a miserable sod!

Mods, I think it's time for a Stripes or Sash poll, unless of course you want it resolved like this: I go for Stripes.

Very cheap if you ask me.

....and now meet Glasgow Saint whose first question will be: "How much does it cost?"

Question from Glasgow Saint: "How much are they going to cost?"

I take it your nipper will be making his own way there then? (if we get through of course).

You get it oh this forum too of course. Read a comment on the after match thread describing Mills as C***. He's not, fact. I just don't understand the mentality of some fans slagging off their own players without any constructive criticism. They could say lack of pace, inconsistent but no they are 'excrement'. Barnard is already being slagged off yet he's only played three games FFS. Never understood it, never will.

I thought I heard on Solent after the game that reports suggest we are still interested in him. Anyone else hear this or was I dreaming again.

Millwall, Huddersfield and MK Dons all winning, we're losing even more ground.

Typical Jock, all you ever talk about his how much the squad costs!

It does seem that with the advent of the transfer windows this rule could be redundant now.

Plagiarism! Mods, infraction for MLG.

With all the transfer specualtion and of course the signings we have already made it's quite a task working out who is eligible to play in the cup competitions, but why? What I mean is why does a player have to be cup-tied, why does it matter if he has already played a cup game for a previous club? It seems to me yet another pointless rule in the game that has no good reason whatsoever. Or am I missing something?

He is clearly highly rated by the Palace fans. One guy actually thinks he would be a bigger loss than Moses. http://forums.cpfc.org/showthread.php?t=193881&page=9 It sounds as if it would be a good signing when you consider he is one of the better players from a championship side just outside the play-offs (before the 10pt deduction).

Have to smile when you first go onto their website when you get SALE! splashed across the screen. I feel sorry for them though after what we went through. My FD is a Palace fan, he came into my office last week moaning about the fact we'd bought Fonte, he could be even more p***** off soon.

Is he more of a CM or RM?
