are you sure about that? I thought he was one of the "brave new world" signings.

No probably not actually. As long as he turns up for training,plays when asked to I doubt if ''lack of effort" could be seen as a cause for unilateral contract rupture. We idiotically gave Skacel a 4 year contract, probably longer than he's ever played anywhere in the past. He seems to be easily destabilised, look at the number of clubs he"s had in a relatively short career.Whoever was responsible for that contract should indemnise us cos we're stuck with the fooker.

Well there was the brief era of Sperring's Solent Stars, meteoric rise in the constrained world of English basketball and a meteoric fall as well.

What and knock down someone's allotment shed?,won't happen in our lifetime. Little England rules OK. If little england didn't rule we'd have been playing in a sensibly budgeted 30K styadium at Stoneham for donkey's year; might not be in the financial mire because of & 28 million quid mortgage at St Mary's, but then that might have displeased 2 grannies and a pekinese dog.

I suppose it takes about 9000 supporters per game to cover the mortgage repayments and interest. That leaves about 9000 to pay for everything else. St Mary's is millstone, built for premiership football after 20 odd years of being in the top flight it will continue to drag us down for a long while yet. Imagine if we had those extra 3 millions a year at our disposal, perhaps we could actually keep some of the better players our much vaunted academy produces.Trouble is without premiership football not only have attendances dropped away alarmingly but the average ticket price has too.Can't be much better than 16 quid now,and then there's VAT.

Well as I see it (and I could very well be wrong in my opinion) he posted half-facts and let himself be led into taking sides. Not saying it was wrong but someone did warn him at the time that he was probably being led up the garden path very astuciously and that he should probably rein in his enthusiasm for the Crouch cause. Not saying that he was wrong to be optimistic about what he thought were reflections on the true state of affairs. It would also seem to me that St Lee was warned about going down the same sort of track with the Allen situation.

But Burley is so primordial in our demise that his role can never be overlooked,forgotten or forgiven. He is totally responsible for our situation today, leading on weak chairmen to invest vast sums in complete garbage(and then not playing it). The players of the time got us relegated by folding against Villa and bottling it at Nottarf, all the rest is down to Burley. The play offs? stand up Mr Glyn Snodin.

Meanwhile another Friday has come and almost gone with zilch happening, my my ,what a surprise.Still Hampshire won, musn't grumble.

Thought you would have heard that Sheik Mohammed has got fed up with waiting for DIC to act and is going it alone,strange that isn't written on the bullfrog coasters down that way, everybody else knows it, apart from Sheikl Mohammed apparently that is.

You mean the new Robert Ludlum bestseller?

Probably not, I told you it's probably just those that thought they were taking over selling up. I'm sure that if you could look back at February trades there would be very similar quantites. Either that or the Dye inheritance is being cashed up.Did you notice that the price went up and then down?

Nicolas Anelka's brother always says the same sort of thing.When he says it you can be sure that he'll be moving on in a week or so.

From what I remember from the last time I was there, they'll probably pay you for the privilege.

But he's still injured. Got that, Stoke bought him whilst injured, he hasn't recovered from his knee operation last summer.Even if he was still here we wouldn't be able to play him.I don't think he'll play more than 10 or 15 games for Stoke this season, at 15K a week that's a lot of swans in the treatment room.

We've got loads of injured centre halfs already,don't need another gung ho glass fairy..

And so he can, jeez though, Thomas is a bit of a glass butterfly though isn't he. Got to go down amongst our all time bad buys.Think you'll see an all new line up at the back on Sunday, Perry and Cork, Wotton sweeping.

I went to that game, I was walking out with a student teacher at a college in Worcester, I drove her up to the game to impress her and explain to her that her home town club (Bournemouth) wasn't the bees ****** of football. Great game, bettered by the incident of some (probably drunken)wag lobbing a little expanded polystyrene pot of mushy peas out of the stand that splatted on a coppers helmet.My young lady was well impressed,think I even scored on the way back to Worcester, having got lost somewhere around Coventry.

Maybe, due to the crass stupidity of international two weeks we now have 6 games in 16 days.We'll need all the hands we can get so those playing at Gillingham are either right out of the picture on the first team front or lack sharpness so they'll get a 30minute run out..

Two solutions; he's about to be loaned out-back up north or he'll be in the squad on Sunday, perhaps killer's knee ain't so great;Might see the Thomas -Cork pairing again.

I told you the other day, a lot of the posters are students, they're all still working hard at their summer jobs and passing the rest of the time spending their ill gotten gains. Once they're all back to their regular life of idling away time in the lecture theatre and tutorial room whilst profiting from the free wireless networks provided in such higher learning emporiums they will be back raring to go.To prove my point: how many "help me with some easy answers for my PhD on "the social standing of the average Hampshire League left back" have we had since the new forum kicked in eh? not a single one.Unless of course many of the posters were actually Saint's youth academicians, now they can't post cos Jan has banned the internet for first teamers.

Large Hardon Collider ?? Boasting again eh.Though to get those 4 wives I suppose a large hardon collider would be a plus. Well there haven't actually been any collisions yet so don't know why you're all worrying.Just a beam of protons being coaxed round the circuit at reduced speed, nowhere near the 11000x27 km/sec needed to do anything interesting. At least there were no beer bottles left in the proton path this time.

no it's about 100K,unless of course it's the same ones sold twice. There may be a reason for this.

Yes but try to concentrate and keep your eyes on the multitudes of half-dressed slappers that abound in the city at this time of year.Soon be winter and it'll all disappear under coats and trousers.

More likely those that thought that they were going to take over, finally realising that there's nothing doing and selling up.
