A final thought for now, in the interest of fairness... we have not seen where this badge sits on the new kit; if it is against a red background then the blob might not look so bad. Fingers crossed.

I'm not necessarily one for plebiscites on these things. Online votes can be maliciously skewed. Perhaps a postal ballot with each ST holder having one vote would be fair - no chance for disinterested parties to mess with the result then. Having said that, that would be costly and time consuming. I just wish they had come up with an effort which didn't look as though a distinct lack of ideas beyond "colour the edge gold and stick the dates on" has lead them to plonking a tokenistic and gormless red blod with "125" slap bang in the middle of it.

I don't think Trousers is talking about a system where you get a refund. You pay the money for a set number of games and that's it. If you don't go to enough games then you don't get your money back. You just have flexibility around how many games and when. That said, it is a rubbish idea. Any idea which means that SFC has no clue how many people are going to turn up for the match with tickets that could be redeemed at any time (ie they have no idea idea how many tickets have actually been sold "for" that match) is a rubbish idea. It is so obviously a rubbish idea that I can't believe any people still think it's a good idea.

That is rubbish too.

I fear it will be too late for this year as I expect the kit will be in production now. Worth a try though and even if it's too late for this year why not celebrate the start of the Liebherr era with a new permanent crest from 2011-2012. At they very least it should ensure that whoever designed the new badge is not commissioned again in the future.

Why on earth was he ever given a football programme in the first place?

Indeed!

Agree about Papa and Antonio. Did you mean a CM rather than CB? I don't think a CB is needed. Seabourne is a good player IMO and Martin looks perfectly capable as a fourth option. If we needed an emergency fifth choice then we could get some old carthorse in on loan. I agree with you if you did mean CM. No real competition for Hammond's place at all there; you couldn't play Surman alongside Schneiderlin IMO.

Punch---Hammond---Morgan---Lallana ------------Surman------------ ------------Lambert---------------- = lovely to watch and far too good for League One.

---------------Davis-------------- Calderon----Fonte---Jaidi-----Harding Punch---Hammond/new-----Morgan---Lallana --------------Surman-------------- --------------Lambert----------------- How good is that with a couple of pacy options on the bench + Barnard. Lallana, Punch and Surman can all play in each other's position. If we could get that working it would be beautiful, it would be "the Southampton Style" and it would be a winning style.

Well, I think legally the administrator can tear the contract up. The difficulty is that if it is a "football-related" contract there will be serious sporting sanctions.

Yep. I never sign petitions. I would sign that one though.

I agree completely with your first paragraph. I think it's an excellent friendy for the team. I just can't be bothered to go to it right now.

Let's face it... if we are playing a higher profile friendly against someone else the week before or after there is nob-all chance of me going to this. Apologies to anyone who was waiting to hear whether I was going or not before making their minds up.

Haha. Yeah lol lolz LOL

Fin.

That's fine but Andronikou's conduct would seriously be in question then. His duty is to preserve the business and secure a good result for the creditors. HMRC would be all over him if he tried to play hardball too much.

Are you wondering why you didn't?

And now you're wondering why?

Crikey! There are some awful club crests out there! The Cherries' one looks like the cover of some Spectrum game or something.

This last bit is true. BA cabin crews generally seem older, less slutty and less gay than other cabin crews. If they think they will walk into another job they're wrong IMO.

It is the principle not the actual affordability. £400 is nothing to Stuey. Even though he won't be able to afford it if the installments don't finish by December and he's getting a lob on that this post is about him.

What a load of pony. You'll give the poor lad a dimplex.

For the benefit of Unite and, presumably, to the eternal gratitude of its members:

Didn't Paul Telfer voluntarily terminate his contract with the Cherries when he got a bad injury? Nice chap is Telfs.
