Would explain why the wheels are already in motion to bring a loan player in, its not as if NA got on his mobile the second Gobern was shown the red after all.

I think the old gentleman who says he was there when Saints last visited in the league was a little confused in saying Bournemouth won as the record books clearly show we won 3-1...........lying old ***** :-) And turning up with cherrys face painted on you looks just so so wrong !

To be fair whenever he has come on in the last few games he has looked quite good, and I didnt rate him particularly, but he looks a decent player. Once again you have fallen into the usual trap of commenting about a specific player who you have not actually seen play.

Oh God no ! Thats about 12 penalties Bmth should have had in the 3 games isn't it ??

So lets see, thats 2 - 0 to Saints in the Cup. 2 - 0 to Saints at St Marys in the league 3 - 1 to Saints at Dean Court in the league. Cherry pickers, can you give it a rest now, please ? You are becoming like Heather Mills........not a leg to stand on :-)

If you think that would have worked I think you are being a touch naieve in all honesty. Do you really believe a press conference held on, say 17th January - the end of the mid/early period you state - would have prevented the media, written or otherwise, from wild speculation by the 24th January, a week later ? If it didnt stop them on 8 December when the original interview came out, it sure as hell was never going to stop mid way through the frenzy month of January.

Difference is players contracts come to an end in the summer or, if their clubs dont win somethinmg or gain promotion, players decide they want to move on. Always much easier buying players in the close season than in January for any number of reasons, including the inflated prices asked for in January which we obviously, and quite rightly, refused to pay.

Didnt NC state that the speculation surrounding Chamberlain completely screwed up our attempts to buy players for a reasonable sum as the clubs approached kept on about the amount of money we were about to get from Arsenal or Man Utd or Liverpool or Chelsea for him ?

Whats NC doing to the bloke in front with the blue coat on ?

I thought he had answered the question about lack of spending in January ! Do keep up ;-)

deffo the guy in the cap......the earlobes are the same (for those of you who remember the great David Dein earlobe debate ;-) ) Fair play to NC for sitting with the fans.....would love to know some of the comments he overheard !!!

If you think the reaction on here is OTT you should have heard Solent on the way home last night. Merrington, Blackmore, Williams and that skate who once appeared for us (play is too strong a word, he was garbage) went into meltdown....then denied they were slagging the club off !!

I am more concerned about tonight than I am Saturday. We are expected to win, and win comfortabky tonight. Saints dont often do the expected !

You do well to remember him having a shot on target for us then !

I know he gets a bit of stick on here but Beatts seems a really decent bloke. probably grown up a bit from his younger, wilder days down here. Lovely tribute to Deano that, RIP big man.

I think they are building this game up much more than Saints are. They see it as a very very special day, the chance to beat "them up the road" and I think the pressure might tell on them. Besides, they have to lose under Bradbury at some point, and at home too ! COYS !

Its tomorrow's live Sky game at 4pm so hopefully we will see then.

Forte is injured......keep reading that Connolly and Seabourne are pressing for a return to the squad. This is obviously bull**** !

You mean the bench is crap.

Are we to assume that Chamberlain is now fully fit or is this a gamble that could back fire badly if he does real damage to his hamstring and is out for 6 weeks ?

interesting that opposing fans think the same way as I feel about Kelvin at present. he isnt filling me with the same confidence he did earlier in the season for sure.

And some people on here reckoned he was going to be an improvement on Antonio ? Oh yeah, sure................we still need a winger in my opinion and he is still not getting off the bench for Reading. FFS try and get the guy back for the rest of the season, at least we know he is capable of unsettling teams and scoring from out wide !

Excellent post......as for the last bit - win at Colchester ? No way I'm afraid.
