This big time

Minty I thought exactly the same thing

Just in case this post was missed - can't wait to find out? Was it that bloke who went mental in the cemetery ?

I missed the announcement that Micah Hall had taken over from Guy the soldier

The answer to your question is simple - "it's because he plays for Southampton".

well said

Spain now I believe

All will be revealed in November http://www.hagiologists.com/forth.htm

He let it slip between his fingers

The standard of comments is improving I see - he's a good local lad, with a solid family behind him who are Saints fans. Doubt they would relish a stupid comment like yours. He was sold against his wishes to bale us out when we were staring administration in the face. He is a footballer with intelligence and I think Bournemouth have got a nugget here. Hughton is not a purist hence this move.

That made I larf

Missed that 1st time around - hysterical, I wonder how many bought it?

Yea but as I have already pointed out, then it took Blackburn millions to win the League but now you have to be bankrolled by a country

In those days you could buy the League with millions, now its billions

"I took a gamble moving to Southampton and it definitely was not a mistake. It was a fact finding mission, and I learned more about life and football in two years there than I did in six at Liverpool - notably that clubs like Southampton cannot be champions of England. They couldn't then, even though we had a good go at it, and they certainly couldn't now. It's not even an issue" So spoke Kevin Keegan in his 1997 autobiography , is it a sad indictment of English football that in reality a side other than the top 4/5 (the two Manchester clubs, Chelsea, Arsenal and perhaps Liverpool) are the only ones considered as potential champions? Or could a club like Southampton with the right financial backing ever threaten as we did back in the early 80s.

You been on the red meat Nick or the sauce perhaps? I think Alpine can safely regard your post as a mild put down.

I use this forum for two main reasons - letting off steam after a defeat, finding solace in my fellow fans' frustrations and finding out our aspirations in the transfer market (am grateful for all those who include links I would not otherwise find). I do find the bickering and point scoring tiresome though.

There is another 34 pages to go before any real news filters through

Marlene Davies (Ron's sister) has contacted me and asked that her thanks be passed on to all Saints fans. Here is her message. Timothy is Tijuana Tim who did so much for Ron in the States and James was the instigator of the successful "Give It To Ron" appeal. Dear Duncan, We hope you are keeping well. We have delayed writing as we were hoping to have more news for you regarding Ron's ashes etc. but, as yet,we have not heard from Nicola, Ron's daughter. We have written to Timothy and James and would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all the supporters of Southampton Football Club for the help and support you gave to Ron during a difficult period of his life. Reading the many tributes was a very sad but heartwarming experience. We know how much he loved and appreciated the Southampton fans, and was very grateful for all the help he received. Thank you once again and may we wish you and the club a very successful season. Yours sincerely, Marlene Savage (Davies)

Good lad and we were pleased to get him when we did but the club "outgrew him". Horrible as that sounds it is modern football. I followed him on Twitter and he seems a A1 bloke so thanks and good luck to him. Salt of the earth.

Cork can fill in at full back too and we are short of cover in these positions.

I might have asked this before ESB but what was Chris Dodson's second crime?

I do remember Tim working in Squires on a Saturday - a real trendy with his blond flowing locks and a digital watch which I bought off him

Not sure your last sentence is something I should be proud of ?

Bootsie has a ST in the Kingsland
