Obviously true but it all depends on how you rate our chances at Brighton really,depends if we're capable of going there and beating them because if not then that leaves Peterborough a point in front of us and it's down to individual game results.

they've changed a central defender of late don't know the whys and wherefores though.

There are some new photos up on the OS,better not let any Bournemouth supporters look at them though.One shows Kelv tipping it over the bar with Fonte holding one player by the neck and pushing the other down with his elbow. It must be remembered that fouls in the 18 yard box are sanctionable whether they're on the ball or not.

To be honest you're not going to get anything for a player who's out of contract in a few weeks time.In our case I think that affects Harding,Gobern,Jaidi,Martin,Holmes,Pulis and Connolly. We might get something for Martin on a tribunal basis but as he wasn't from our academy I doubt that it would be much.Gobern is a different matter though but as he has little first team experience to speak of we won't get megabucks from a tribunal.

More likely that his card count has been brought to his attention and his tackling is hampered by it. Chaplow isn't all that good defensively,he's a bit of a luxury in a side where you already have Lallana and Chamberlain .

Really scratchy game, both sides will have to get a whole lot better before the world cup and England in particular need to find a scrum half.Too many handling errors...awful spectacle really.

Orient won't catch anyone for 2nd place, but their goal will be the play-offs in place of either Bournemouth or MK Dons and any matches against either MK Dons or Orient will be affected by the struggle for the 5th and 6th play-off places.I'm writing Bournemouth off now because losing 2 of 2 probably means they've blown it given the number of games they've played.

Not that I'm an expert on Peterborough but it would seem to me that they've changed at least one of their centre backs since Ferguson has been back and have miraculously stopped shipping goals.Perhaps Zakuani was injured before?

Thought that might be the case, which is why we're so keen to give him game time I guess.This close season will be really important as we prepare for the NPC and we won't want to keep anyone who might not be efficient in the NPC.

What's Gobern's contract situation with Saints?

that's as may be but they I wouldn't think they'll be loaning him out this time round,he's still starting most games for them I think. We'll get a young player from a NPC club I expect, someone most of us won't know much about.

why would they loan us one of their first teamers when they're already in desperate straights?

Peterborough have a few hard games left as do we. I think MK Dons,Huddersfield,Orient and even Bournemouth may well trouble them still.With their potent attack they can crush anyone on their day but it may not always be their day.Saints and Posh have an equal number of tricky games left and it's possible second place depends on the outcome of these,particularly the games against MK Dons and Orient for both sides.We have to play Brighton they've got Huddersfield so it's about even steven really.

Speaking of injuries, what's the score with Harding and Dickson now?

There are some ratings on the Ugly as usual, couldn't say how reliable they are though because it's a composite system.Someone who didn't go to the match could put in some entirely duff scores and screw it up completely.

Bournemouth won't go up now, might not even make the play-offs,today's result will be utterly deflating for them plus they've a few tough games ahead of them in their last 10.

is there not a free offer though?

Out for "a little bit" and "we've got to take it game by game with him" Pretty cryptic there from NA.

I thought TR,OR and CR were Southampton registrations.Old Mayor's car used to be TR 1

Don't we have some sort of new deal or other with the local Mercedes dealership to supply vehicles to the club and give us the use of a couple of mini-buses for free.It's a local thing though and not a shirt sponsor.

I really doubt that it will be any major company or group of companies.If you look at popular football sponsors few of them are major household names.Obscure online betting,gulf state airlines,local vehicle dealerships,one derelict building society come bank. Where are the high street names,banks,major insurance brands? Apart from a few rare examples of clubs with global fansbases they are non-existent so I think we can rule out Ferrari,Fiat,Mercedes Benz,Alitalia,HSBC and companies of that ilk. It will be local or local'ish.

But then again you know nothing whatsoever about the financial structure of the club or the Mali group or the heirs of M Liebherr. You are making suppositions as am I.I would think that some loan interest to be written off against tax would be highly desirable rather than spending capital for structural improvements.

Liebherr isn't running the club any more, we know that by his own admission that Cortese is autonomous.

Perhaps we got a loan

but was not Ox's goal from a wicked deflection, perhaps they judge the original effort to be not on target.
