I heard that. He was hardly a celebrity - just some small time comedian! Said he went back to London in the day then back to Soton for a gig in the evening. Frankly, what was he expecting? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Krakatoa erupting, herd of Wildebeest sweeping majestically....? Anyhoo, probably one of those London idiots who isn't happy unless he's being swamped by barrow boys and ne'erdowells and pretedning there's some sort of nostalgic dignity in living in a retro-Dickensian ****-hole.

Also, in fariness to the OS, I suspect that story was published fairly early on boxing day. Mr Mohammed died on boxing day so, whilst "minor" is an unfortunate phrase to have used, I imagine the facts at the club's disposal were pretty shady at that time. They probably only had a call from Robertson saying he had a crash but wasn't hurt badly - it's not as though the poilice would have gone, "blimey, that's Jordan Robertson, he plays for Saints, we'd better give them a precis". EDIT - I see Soccermom has said virtually the same thing above!

Absolutely.

So does everyone agree with what I've said all along which is that McGoldrick is a good player but needs a strike partner?

Jolly good!

You can pay circa £30 for a season's subscription, I think, or you can pay monthly for about £3.95 a month.

I'm surprised this myth of "attractive football" is still spouted too. I haven't seen us play that for months.

Utterly clueless.

You plonker! He did see the writing but by the time he was acting chairman of the football club (a position he had no choice but to accept after the power vacuum of the old board's departure) the damage had been done. People have explained this to you before - what don't you understand? What was he supposed to do? "Un do" contractual commitments? How? All he could do was loan out high earners (which he did) whilst prioritising our champinoship survival (achieved) and appointing a popular, crowd-uniting manager in the process. What more could he have done or could anyone have realistically done in the middle of the season? Unless you're advocating refusing to pay wages?

When was that? It would have been last summer but clearly he was deprived of that by Quisling and Haw-haw.

I'm not bothering and there's nothing stopping me. All my mates who would go (and quite a few of those can't be bothered eithe), I have seen for beers recently so there really does seem like no point. If we had a new manager, mind....

Saints Trust?!?! The question is, did that fail because of shareholder/fan apathy or did it fail because of cack leadership? (or some other reason).

John Hoskins CDAJFU in a couple of years then.

It was going to be us.... ask Rupert.

Very good.

MK Dons are the Manchester United of the south.

I expect the Plymouth centre back is distinctly average, at best.

That would cause a compromise on font size. I think the fact that he has paid £30 to watch an amateurish shower of crud get stuffed is support enough.

I'l nominate Marian too. If only he hadn't had all those injuries.....

But Mike, Branfoot paved the way for Hoddle.... Think of him as a John the Baptist figure.

Almost exactly how I feel. This is not a football club anymore. It is not what I used to enjoy watching. It gives me minimal pleasure. It does not exist to try and do what the team I supported existed to try and do. It has been killed.

Who's that? Perry? That's at least 4 then because Pearce has two as well.
