Winchester Red

£20k x 4 weeks per month (ish) = £80k gross All times top tax band 45% = £40k (ish) take home (net) per month Me thinks you didn't read closely enough! ;-)

FFS Those losses away to Arsenal and Chelsea really were unforgivable. Based on your logic Spurs are heading for the conference

66% possession in the first half

Morgan and Adam on

Good commentary on youtube. Lots of veiled little digs at the skates, said with a completely innocent tone

Get in! 1-0

Let's hope Doddsy has made sure the kids understand the importance of this game to the fans. It's about the winning, not the taking part!

That sounds to me like the choice was between retaining GW or appointing RB. But surely RB was still employed by Crawley at that point in time? Unless they were choosing between Barker and Awford (who wouldn't have been a fresh face)

I know what you're getting at, but that's most Spanish Teams record against Real Madrid except for Barca!

While the FL ensure that they are paying off their old debts, then they have no money (or less than the competition anyway). Southampton's 5 year plan was to get back to the PL from L1 WITH MONEY poopeys 4 year plan is to get back to the 'top' from L2 with NO MONEY Managerial suicide for any wannabe. He'll be sacked within months, particularly with the admission that when the phew start to turn then the board have to act. They turn more often than a burger on a barbecue

This definitely. Lovren and Boruc

Will be delighted with one win and one loss, as others have said, much better than 2 draws. Would prefer 2 wins though

Not the times on a Saturday. They pretend we don't exist. The closest they ever come to admitting we're even playing is including us in the list of fixtures in the middle. Someone has upset them big time. Every other day of the week the times is fine

We're in it until we're out of it There you go

Is so windy that one ball forward just turned round on the floor and started coming back the other way

Keeper hoofed it clear. It got caught on the wind, bounced half way into our half with both CDs letting it go and bounced over Boruc who was on the edge of his area. Crazy unlucky.

Wind is crazy Practically unplayable. Bounce on the ball for their goal was massive

Win today and we go second (albeit for an hour or two) Assuming the toon hold onto their lead

Where's THEVMAN? We need actual info!

I enjoyed Simon Jordan's book (although not Saints related other that a few passing references, and referring to pfc as a basketcase of a club)

So can Osvaldo play this system or does MP have a completely different role in mind for him? You can't escape the facts. MP knew what he would get from Osvaldo and chose to bring him here. Osvaldo knew what would be required of him and chose to come. I guess we have to trust that MP knows how to get what he wants out of Osvaldo (and personally I think MP has earned that trust and people shouldn't judge whether this transfer is a success or not until at least the end of the season)

Imants Bleidelis for Marian Pahars? Or did Marian achieve everything he could of regardless?

Another one that made another player better, but also performed beyond expectation himself. Are there any that failed individually on the pitch but paid back in other ways?

Yep, although his costs were so low he probably covered them with his own performances and goals

If we signed a new holding midfielder in January and that signing directly pushed big vic onto another level, but the signing himself failed to make an impact, would it be viewed as a good signing and worth the money? There are so many potential indirect benefits. If (stupid example) the signing of Tadanari Lee means we sell 200,000 shirts in Japan, but he never plays another game, would he have been a good signing? Some signings are clearly disasters, like Forren, but there are plenty of others that didn't perform on the pitch but could be argued to have gained the club indirect benefits. Charlie George? Delgado? Kerry Dixon (no, probably no benefit there!)
