Saints have changed his age from 23 to 21 in their announcement. But Oldham have him down having a date of birth of 12/12/87 which makes him 23 Wikipedia have him down as being 76. I am confused, Oldham have him playing for Bury in 2006. I think he's 23.

Derry - you need to dust off ITN if you have it. The season being referred to was 1948-49. Ramsey had gone to Spurs by then. With 7 games left we were top with 51 points and Fulham second with 43 and WBA third with the same nos of points. Remember only 2 points for a win. We had just gone to White Hart Lane and in front of 69265 fans won 1-0 with Charlie Wayman, injured and a passenger on the wing (no subs then of course) hobbling in to get to the ball first and score. His ecstatic colleagues carried him back into his own half as my Dad told me who was there. We were up, no doubt about it but with Charlie injured we only picked up 4 points in the remainding games and were overhauled by both Fulham and West Brom. Some Saints fans never recovered (inc my Dad).

Do you know I never understood that transfer. There we were no money and out of the blue we find a million pounds. And Arsenal have forever been waiting in the wings. I think there were more than two parties involved in that deal.

Words of wisdom

Morgan is out for the rest of the season

Don't think Stuart Dennis screaming like a banshee helps much either

Did you see Chesterfield last night - now they did look good.

this

I regularly see "Bootsie" in the Kingsland - a lot of the old faces get in the "Pidgeon Club" in St Denys when Toddy does his NorthernSoul/Reggae gigs. There was one last Saturday but i had had enough to drink by 8 so went home to bed. The times they are a changing.

I saw some old faces at Bournemouth on Saturday. Pete Wilson, old Wimpson boy for one

Some of the contributors met up in the Soul Cellar before a game and indeed the police paid a visit.

Brendan was the stadium safety officer/manager a few years back, nice enough fellow and helpful when we did the GITR appeal. I did read about a year ago he had been appointedonto the executive committee. Never heard of lyndsey. David Jones has left for sure.

heard from a good source yesterday that Morgan is out for the season

Mackail-Smith?

I don't know if you have watched many matches recently but if you had you will have seen that while we are picking up the required amount of points for promotion we are heading for a fall that we may be unable to pick ourselves up from. To avert that fall it could well be prudent to make a foray into the loan market before the window closes. There are too many on this forum who don't go to matches who think everything will be ok because of results. Scratch the surface a bit and you will see it's not that good.

I am just back and I am sorry to deflate anyone who hasn’t been and thinks a 3-0 win is satisfactory but that first half we were absolutely dire – the worst I have seen for ages. We looked absolutely clueless and my confidence in Adkins is draining. 2nd half obviously a bit better because we put the ball in the net twice and gained an element of control but that was only because Yeovil were awful. We were far better at Walsall last week – believe me. I am going to Bournemouth but we are going to perform a lot better to get anything.

Martin is out of contract worryingly

Colin I am sorry I disagree. Richardson's distribution has been very poor. Hoof hoof hoof and while he maybe a better back than Butterfield - arguably - his passing is so bad I don't want him anywhere near the team.

Nice one - touche!

Steve - have you been taking NickG's medication by chance? To answer your question in one phrase I would say the reason I am concerned is because "we lack conviction"

Interested that Dronski thinks Richardson is more creative than Butterfield. I don't think I can ever remember Richardson doing anything other than hoof the ball either out of play or to an opposition player.

Well you two if you cannot handle a bit of Alpine negativity suggest you do leave. Forums are all about cut and thrust - you two sound like a pair of jessies. Man up, fight your corner - thank **** you aren't our two defensive players.

Then with respect you have no right to admonish someone else with the line "did you go". Highlights are just that highlights - my experience in life is you learn more from the low lights. I was there on Tuesday and yes we were the better side but we played like headless chickens, that would not have been apparent on the "highlights". Rgds

Spot on!

So did you go or are you basing your views on what you saw on the highlights?
