Cheer up everyone, presumably there's bugger all chance of it being accepted.

You were told they were racking up £25k a day in fees? No chance.

Michael? If it's Longlifecherryphotocopier then I would rather have Lowe back.

What?

Yes, but he was probably talking ********.

Er, no.

That was awful. I am sorry.

So is it Des Linoam after all?

What? It was a crock of ****e waste of money. End of.

Yes, you are.

If I thought local government was remotely competent enough to run Saints I would agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments expressed in the article. As it is, I would rather have a private owner. But the council would be better than nowt.

Of course they are employees. I don't expect a gracious repsonse. Probabaly some goal-post shifting rant coupled with an insult.

I admit, I am ashamed for not wanting a religious maniac, ego driven, inarticulate, 80s haired, tight shorted, permatanned, Le God maltreating, "one of them things", guru reliant, oddballs as our manager. Damn me and my destructive influence. What I would have liked is any manager who is reasonably competent. That could have been Paul Sturrock. It could have been David Moyes. It could have been Sam Allardyce. **** it - it could have been Glenn Hoddle actually. It certainly wasn't Wigley. When you can point at the fans that lobbied loudly for Wigley to be appointed, and when you can point at a shred of evidence that any fan's views were consdired at board level you might have the tiniest hint of a raison d'etre for your strange obssession.

Unless Hoddle was the only prospective appointment better than Wigley.... OBVIOUSLY NOT, then the whole argument is entirely moot.

I'm always a bit reticent about this in case you are actually mental but.....

Will you apologise for blaming the fans then? (not that it's relevant in any way at all to anything really...) Odd.

So has he signed then?

And on a bank holiday in the midst of actually supposedly doing something important. Seriously this place ****es me off sometimes.

Hairdresser? Steward? Taxi driver? Brother Le Tiss?

PS. It's nice to know this place hasn't lost the knack of flabby mouthed nudgey-nudgey winky-winky ********.

Is David Beckham involved? Some arabs? Fat tw @ with a briefcase?

I agree completely with your last paragraph. As someone who was in the Northam, I got the definite feeling that there were people there determined to make their own "sport" at the final whistle come what may. I agree that the ref may not have helped. I think a bigger contributor was probably the police's strange actions with their dogs.

To be honest I wish they had told you to bog off (politely). I'm not sure why they didn't. Mind you, they were quick to amend the typo on their website so fair play on that point.

But the point is that the reason we got relegated was because of things we did. Not things we didn't do. We didn't give Hoddle the job.... who cares? (apart from you) We didn't give George Graham the job. We didn't give David Moyes the job. We didn't give Sam Allardyce the job. We didn't give Martin O'Neil the job. We didn't give... blah, blah, blah. In a parallel universe I wonder if there's some weird fantasist banging on about how we'd be at the verge of world doination if we'd given David Moyes the job We went down because we did sack Sturrock after two games. We did appoint Wigley. We did fail to sign a proper centre half in the January window. The fans were excellent. They did not have anything to do with it.
