Saints came out of a sewar smelling of roses 2 years ago, but it in no way justifies any of the mismanagement which went on before. Walk in to the boardroom of any company and say, "Hey, let's run this company out of business, then maybe a Swiss billionaire will take pity on us." What makes you think we'd be a midtable League 1 club? We probably still would have gone into admin, but if we weren't relegated we would have been in a massively improved situation. For a start the 10 point penalty would have been taken at the end of the 08/09 season, so even if that did relegate us we'd still have started our first season on 0 points instead of -10. Net result? I reckon we would have been promoted last season instead of this season. All hypothetical, we will never know for sure, but to suggest Markus and Nicola saving us justifies Lowe's horror show in some way is absurd.

Yeah me too. It's like the just said, "let's get Rik Mayall just being Rik Mayall and that'll do."

Can't see why Mills would want to come back to Saints and if he did we'd have to pay through the nose for him. Antonio is a good shout though, I'd take him back. I know he hasn't done it for Reading this season, but Chaplow wasn't doing it for PNE either. Reckon we could get Howard if we tried too.

Lewis Hamilton overtakes Timo Glock on at the last corner on the last lap of the last races of the season to win the World Drivers Championship in 2008

Typical Saints fans. No disappointment for us this year, so we go looking on the playoff losers' forum to feed our cravings. Wow, that Oldham fan is a pr1ck though. I'd have expected sh*t from teams like Leeds, Weds, Blades and Bradford more than anything.

Think Posh will be fighting Pompey for that wooden spoon next season. More so if CMS gets a big offer from somewhere else. Good for Saints, but very harsh on the Udders.

Such a shame, that would have been a great end to the race. I would even have taken Alonso winning if it stopped Vettel.

No. The boasting from the plastics will just be endless, not to mention the endless media masturbation. Christ almighty, I hope Rooney doesn't score the winning goal.

That's just so full on holes and contradicitions. We had a 'give youth a chance' philosophy forced on us, so we spent our last penneys on... an unknown youth player. Imagine if we'd spent that money on a quality experienced player like (but not actually) Lambert or Fonte. We might have had a chance then. If you're badly short of money and experienced players, the absolute last person you should be signing is a foreign teenager with no experience what-so-ever of English football. The sensible thing would have been to stick with Pearson, bring in free, experienced players like Wotton and Harding on small wages and mix them with youth players. Then spend the money we spent on Morgan (however much) on a quality, experienced centre half. Not rocket science and I reckon it would have got us midtable.

I know an airline pilot who used to fly for Air India Express. Let me put it this way; take the train.

All of which is pretty much irrelevant, when you consider we spent £1.2m on an unknown French teenager. I don't think I can remember a more inappropriate tranfer in the history of Southampton football club.

Few of my favourites - Grand Canyon (and the town of Sedona, which is to the South) - Tallinn, Estonia. Beautiful City - One of the lakes in Northern Italy - Pripyat (ghost city near Chernobyl) Want to go next Easter, it's like nowhere on Earth. - San Diego. Awesome City - New York City

That's in the stratosphere, but I don't think that counts as space. What were you in, a Mig 25?

France - More times than I can count. In double figures. Italy Norway Finland Latvia Estonia Switzerland - several times Austria - Several times Belgium - On at least 4 occasions Germany (lived there) Holland (lived there) USA (lived there, been at least 4 times) Canada x2 Spain Tunisia Malta Greece Turkey Egypt Ireland

Would be great, but apparently he left Brum because he wants Premier League football. If he isn't going to play for them, he sure as heck wont be coming to us.

As it says on the tin. How often do you 'upgrade'? Mine is just over 2 years old but the screne is on the blink. Part of me thinks I'd be as well getting a new one rather than sending off to get it repaired (pretty sure it's out of warranty). The other part thinks that's a bit too soon and the stuff on the market isn't all that much better than what I've got now.

We've already had Lowe with money. He bought Delgado and Neil McCann.

I think it's the recession. We seem to be pushing out the cheapest crap imaginable and labeling that entertainment. Geordie Shore and the like probably replaces Big Brother as lowest of the low, but even on the major channels there's a lot of crap. Endless cookery shows and dancing/singing tallent contests. X-Factor must be every producers wet dream. Cowell and Cole's wages must be by far the biggest expense on that. All you need is TV studio with some bright lights and a bunch of half-tallented half-wits. I don't honnestly know how to feel about these shows. Half of me is really irritated, the other half is just plain astonished about how any human being can be entertained by such dross. They've been doing XF in various guises for well over a decade now and yet still people tune in religiously to find out which HMV checkout assistant will be completely forgotten about in 18 months* time. *It would be 4 months but for some reason we've now got 'Dagenham Stacy' advertising Iceland and Jedward on the Eurovision F**king Song Contest. The paralympics of the music industry. P.S. Mr Cowell, on the off chance you are reading this; yes you're right. There are tallented singers out there. There is a world of difference between being a half decent singer and being a musician. There is a reason people like Olly Murs, JLS and Alexandra Burke were undiscovered. They're crap. JLS are just an pointless rehash of Blue, Westlife, Five and all the other boy bands we got bored with in 2003. Burke apparently needs a covered version of Boney M to get a hit and Olly Murs is possibly the most BORING entity I have ever been exposed to.

She's Danish, but I like your thinking.

Good, because we're pronoucing his name wrong anyway. It's Fonte as in font. What you stick babies in. We need to be careful or this could end up like Delgado's birthday.

1. Pompey 2. Brighton -------------- 3. Reading 4. Hull 5. Cardiff 6. Leicester -------------

Good stuff, would hate for Lee Holmes to get lonely.

Shame, I might have been able to help you.

Could reach French airspace by Thursday according to the Mail. Not sure this really counts as an immigrant, but they're pretty unhappy about it. Stuff doesn't get much more awesome than volcano lightning

The alternatives being Wigan, Blackburn and Wolverhampton?
