Back o' the net!

Yes, weirdly it's part of the NEWS package. You can do it through the SKY menu on the television, should only cost a quid.

Update on SSN after the ad break

What? When did that happen?

Spot on - this will all fade in time. I for one tried to ignore it all, but then again I was not going to every home game because of where I lived (Scotland). I have seen more Saints away games in the last 10 years than home so I got a different perspective of it all ie emotionally one step removed. I am now back in the south and in a position to once again go to home games on a regular basis, so I will be buying a ST for the first time, even though I have supported Saints for 41 years. Coincidentally, my ability to start attending regularly at SMS actually coincided with the exit of Lowe, and seeing the significant upsurge in crowd figures for the last 3 home games showed the real underlying support waiting to return. You can say what you like about RL, whether or not he was wholly responsible etc etc, but his arrogant and condescending PR style is not up for question and it is, IMHO, that, more than anything which drove many fans away, albeit temporarily, from the club.

Veeerrryy slloooww and then really quick, then slooow etc etc etc

Apparently a fuller report at 5.15pm - ish on Solent.

Found in possession of a pair of comedy ears

I waited for a bus once - it never came oh wait - here it comes now - apologies Mr G.

Gary Lineker on Radio Solent just now - apparently here for a trial

No, all quiet, everyone knitting

Ladies and Gentlemen I think the words WOOOO and HOOOO may be in order :smt007

Next season's home strip?

1. A parking space in Toddington 2. My club starting a brave new existence 'pon my return to my keyboard. As ever - COYR!!!

Well damn well stay there as long as we like

You're not suggesting bribery? - heaven forbid

Now you've upset the winky thing :mad:

When MLT was first offerd the figurehead role I expect he jumped at it impulsively without too much thought, who wouldn't? However, since then he has climbed a learning curve that's been almost vertical and has had the scales well and truly ripped from his eyes. Whether he would now accept a similar offer remains to be seen, but I would suggest that he is now in a much more informed position to make that decision. The 'baptism of fire' that he has endured may have scared him off for good, or, alternatively, made him even more eager to take on that type of role, having now learnt the raw reality of 'ruthless business' and what happens when you become a pawn (allegedly) in someone elses empire building. I would welcome him in a prominent club role, but not as Chairman. Maybe something akin to what Kenny Dalglish is now doing at Liverpool.

Hello, unlucky Alf here. Knowing my bloody luck........

Do you think this thread might reach 100 pages by the morning?

Someone's done it wth Notts County, so there is precedent

That's totally unfair. Thomas can't help it if he runs on rails! A few sets of points and a turntable or two and he'll be just fine. He would need repainting into red and white though!

Implying you already hold the British and Commonwealth record?

Just done a 5 minute post match interview - nothing there either! Isn't your hand aching a bit? - maybe time to change boob

He didn't in a 5 minute interview before the match.
