Ok, another 80's one - Who was the first ON LOAN player to ever score for Southampton ?

Gordon Hobson

he may have been but living in Weymouth at the time I remember it clearly - big news in the Dorset Evening Echo that was !!

Cheat !

Yes - he was a Computer Operator for Greenwich Borough Council ! your turn I reckon

no.

no.

nope.

When Saints bought Andy Townsend from Weymouth what day job did he have to give up ?

Wonder what the chances of getting his side over here for a pre-season friendly ? That would be a great way for him to come back and thank us....and vice versa of course. Skonto Riga are Latvia's top team...or they were....there might be another lillte latvian gem lurking in their ranks

I meant in the final

Had to laugh at Euell being so prominent in the celebrations and trophy waving stakes ! Like he even played !! Anyway, well done Brett and well done Blackpool, good luck next season, think you may need it !

Well Monday would make sense.....they cant leave it much longer anyway.

Well thats bloody rich considering you were the t*t talking about £400 burning a hole in your pocket !! You may well have said it to be ironic but some people are actually like that ! FFS

Wether its right or wrong the bottom line is that details should have been released by now. Did I read that only 2 clubs had yet to have tickets on sale, and thats probably changed by now ! The practicalities are that people start going off on holidays soon so they will either spend that money or have a rush to get the dosh together when they come back and find they only have a week or two left to buy their seats. Unless Markus is giving all existing ST holders a freebie this year of course ! BTW the £125 is only for people who have had season tickets since 1885 when the club was formed

Not being critical, just an observation/question, but isn't £12 more than some of the early Cup games were last season ?

The first League game is 7th August.

Youve got the minority bit right ! You could call him raw, inexperienced, a typical winger where sometimes he's brilliant and other times he's poor. But to call him lazy ? Nah, no way.

I would forget Danns. If he leaves Palace then he will pitch up at QPR with Warnock.

We dont play another competitive match until early August !!

+ 1

I would expect all AP's major transfer activity to occur before the players return for pre-season training. As for AP knowing what he's doing......Lambert, Harding, Fonte, Connolly, Hammond, Jaidi, Barnard, Puncheon......he aint done too bad so far

I would expect one or two "marquee" signings and another 4 or 5 that come from the free transfer/released market. AP commented that we had missed out on a lot of those last season cos the takeover wasn't completed until July. I dont expect him to miss out this time. You dont need to spend big in every position to get out of this League, especially when you are looking for squad players/cover.

My mum always told me that I should never take pleasure at someone elses mis-fortune. Apparently its alright in their case though
