they are useful don't forget Wade I have always defended Alpine's right to have a view to go against the majority but his posts on this subject are offensive. I shall regard him in a different light from now on.

100% agree, Lallana was v poor and gave Fox no cover

Thought Lallana very poor yesterday

So its OK for the Sun to print what the police tell them? Er hello - just look at the Leveson inquiry to see where and how dangerous that policy became.

Of course Thatcher knew - Bernard Ingram was briefing journalists within hours that the Liverpool fans were to blame. Thatcher turned a blind eye to the S Yorkshire cover up as pay back for the support they gave her during the miners' strike.

Don't think you need the Devil's Advocate disclaimer, Trousers, I think that is exactly what he is doing and to a point he can justify it. If you were trying to sell a dodgy motor the least you could do is give it a polish. Thing is most people who have any sense will look further than the polish. Check under the bonnet of PFC and you have a clapped out engine on the point of self combustion secured to the chassis with a severly frayed shoe lace.

Not so sure comparing Mayuka to Drogba or even mentioning them in the same breath is a wise move but other than that I enjoyed the read.

The "miracle at Lewisham", away to Millwall last season when two Saints fans in the disabled section, suddenly found they had regained the use of their legs when Rickie scored the winner?

He is on a part-time basis, working in tandem with one-time Echo colleague John May - who is a member of this forum.

Indeed - it was ours of course in the days we all had shares but, those days don't exist any more and I for one am not gonna give a view whether that is a good or bad thing.

You say Wes the land belongs to us but surely you mean ML's estate?

Manji would you like to buy my latest book?

Surman to score first and Saints to win 2-0 away to Doncaster 125/1

Thanks to Leon I once came back from an away game £1250 richer

Prefer him where he was - I prefer Fox to Richardson

looks like a groin strain could cause him to miss the Scotland games. Maybe Shaw is going to get his Saints chance quicker than envisaged. I saw him at Stevenage and he did ok but not yet ready for the Premiership.

I have no idea what caused this spat (unless it was Matt's support for Pinnacle over which he and I had a blazing row) or who is right, but I know one thing MLT is one of the most decent, honest, genuine guys around who loves Saints with a passion. I think it a great shame the two can't make up - after all both presumably want what is best for the club.

Well it seems Adkins already has? Sorry St Chalet that this is on the Ramirez thread but Alpine made the link by saying it might have been better to not to have signed him and perservered with Sharp instead. Although I have not seen Ramirez play I am truly excited at his arrival (bit worried about the lack of defenders but that is another thread) and fully expect him to be a far better player than our Billy.

Yes some wise words there

Alpine, you go on about Sharp's talents but if you actually were at a game live and watched him it would soon be obvious that he is not Premiership material. Sometimes you do actually have to be in the stadium watching to get the whole picture. Not a criticism because i know you live a long way away which makes it hard to get to games, but you must respect the views of those that go who are lucky to get the broader picture. Trust me Sharp, great bloke and all that notwithstanding is NOT a Prem player. He knows it as well - that is why he went back to his comfort zone, where he will do an excellent job. And if we go down I sincerely hope we recall him, because he will get us back up.

Ok Terry Paine was with HR last Monday night for a meal and spent 3 hours in his company. There was absolutely no mention of this - in fact Harry told Painey that he was quite happy doing nothing so this story is utter crap. Incidentally Terry told me he had never enjoyed an evening so much and it was all down to Harry who had so many great stories to keep Terry enthralled all night. Harry might be Soton's public enemy nos 1 but according to TP he is engrossing company.

Thank you S-Clarke - sometimes I really do not understand people on this forum - you have "got" exactly what I was saying

For Christ sake I meant he is on loan therefore he remains our player - what is it with this sinister undertone ****e?

This is common sense. Cracking Championship player but not quite Premiership standard. This proves to me the club is being managed properly. If we go down then no doubt Billy will return to get us back. Forest have got a good deal but all is not lost for us.
