Hi Saint John - just had this reply in response to your post Hi Duncan, Our central team have had some problems configuring the website with regards to the book (its usually pretty automated from Neilson - hence the problems). First it was listed at intenet discount price, now back to full price. The biggest problem has been setting it up so that when you go to order, it should only route through to 'reserve and collect' - and explain you can reserve it in a store and collect it at your leisure - however this hasn't been happening and caused us numerous problems. Please do respond to the unhappy customers and apologise on our behalf. Thanks, Ross Medley Bookshop Manager & Cluster Leader Cluster 27 Waterstones, West Quay Southampton 023 8023 2118 CL27@waterstones.com http://www.waterstones.com ________________________________________

The Alphabet was good for its time but All the Saints is way deeper and of course in full colour all 520 pages. Thanks for the plug SNSUN

Saint John - yes we have kept Waterstones fully supplied, but the cluster that involves Southampton, Lymington, Fareham, Salisbury, Eastleigh, Andover and Winchester does not stretch to the Bournemouth branches. I have tonight e mailed your comments to the manager of the region who is called Ross (CL27@Waterstones.com). Waterstones have been excellent for us but it seems their communication system has let you and us down. The programme shop will be selling copies prior to tomorrow's game and the Guide Dog in Bevois Valley has got copies too (ask Margaret the land lady). Plus Kenny G has some around his flat near the Ave - all venues will charge £30. HTH. Simples - the book has only been out three weeks, if you have paid for it and provided postage you should have it by now, if you did not include postage it has been available to be collected from either Eastleigh, Otterbourne, Salisbury, Bristol or Rownhams. E mail on Duncan@duncanholley.co.uk if you are having problems.

This is not going to be a popular view but I am coming to the conclusion he is a bit of a liability and I am surprised NC/MP went for him knowing he has this weakness in his game. He has skill for sure but so far his bad points outweigh his good and if he did spit in the guy's face not sure I want him at Southampton.

Nick you would be better browsing your local Waterstones. It is expensive but it is lavishly put together at a cost of £55000 and weights 2.3kgs. I am convinced it is good value. Cheers

I never have moments of weakness, my lips are sealed but both Rally Boy and I agreed this saga has way to go and my prediction was that McInnes would resign within three months was considered a good shout - even by Matt. That press conference earlier to unveil the new messiah made Gavin and Stacey look second rate comedy.

Just back from the Le Tissier signing at West Quay. Who should be there but this thread's one and only "Rally Boy". Pleasure to meet you!!!

I know who I would rather have a cup of tea with right now

Looks like the top table at a wake

Wilf I just tried it, it worked for me, you have to scroll down to find All the Saints but it did work

For me our performance of the season. Very proud to be a saints fan yesterday we showed grit and flair in equal measures. Cork could not have worked harder, he was superb. And we started and finished with three English teenagers on the pitch.

No one has mentioned how he ended up playing wide right midfield with Ward-Prowse playing full-back

From me collecting £30, posted £37

Wilf from now hopefully give it a try any problems e mail me 07818403122

Classic manji absolutely classic

Yes Gary dropped some off last week to a manager who wasn't happy about having Saints books in her shop!!!

I had to post yours separately as the courier would not take non mainland mail , but it should be there any day now

Vince I will look into it

I am glad but a tad surprised Morph is so grateful. The Liebherr group got a bargain at 14m and now own something worth 300m. Fair play to them Cortese spotted a bargain.... or was it Andrew Oldknow. Meanwhile the fans own nothing but their heritage and the city owns nothing but the hoped for inheritance. Interesting night tonight at Waterstones with Mick Channon and Terry Paine (not to forget Brian O'Neil) - the city and the community ultimately own the soul of SFC and while the bricks and mortar might be under the control of someone who cares not about tradition, in the end it will be our children and our children's children who will reclaim our club for our city. Heavy stuff I know but after listening to two legends tonight explain what SFC means to them, then I can't help the philosophy.

Yea basically Amazon have not approached us to ask us for the book and suggest a going rate. Their monopoly on book sales and global domination is meeting a small pocket of resistance.

and Wycombe scored in the 96th minute - only thing that brought a smile to my face last night

Feedback such as this is most welcome, especially after the disappointment at the club changing its mind about selling it from their outlets. I feel it is the best we have done but it won't reach all fans due to it not being available at the stadium. A real shame

If we had someone who could finish like the bloke who hit their third we would have won by a hatful tonight. Too much trying to walk the ball into the net and also at the other end too much fiddle faddle. Sometimes we give almost suicidal passes to players facing the wrong way with an attacker breathing down their necks and either concede possession (that's how they got their 2nd) or hoof it into touch.

Agree 100% now if we had someone who could finish like the bloke who hit their third we would have won by a hatful tonight. Too much trying to walk the ball into the net and too much fiddle faddle in our third too.
