Fitzhugh Fella

Jan, if it's an emergency meeting you would think they could convene tomorrow, they must have known this was likely to happen. They are tinkering with people's livlehoods not to mention the fans emotions. Bunch of out of touch, ill-fitting suits out of their depth facing a catch 22 imo.

Surely the FL holding Pinnnacle to ransom like this is highly illegal and challengeable. They are surely entering dangerous waters denying the right of a club to come out of administration because they fear a legal challenge.

Bradford A 1976. Me too Mike - I thought we had drawn at the final whistle. Sobered up when I realised 3 of our party out of 5 were guests in the Bradford nick including the driver. Sobered up even more when Mark Thompson and I bumped into 30 Bradford fans on a deserted Bradford railway station - I still have the scars!

More like journeys beginning Thorpie (I am hoping)

Spot on

Both found gainful agricultural work on a Cotswold farm apparently.

You don't know lets B Avenue! He can tell what day of the week it was anytime in the 70s during the football season based on Saints results.

In tonight's Echo TL reveals since the period of exclusivity has started they have had offers from 3rd parties which they have declined.

Often in there after matches

or.... "Freedom is just another word for NOTHING left to lose" - Kris Kristofferson (excuse spelling) from "Me and Bobby McGhee"

This is the most informative thread I have ever read.

Terry also got injured in the game - concussion I think, which made it easy for Ramsey to replace him.

MJ propaganda?

I can vouch for Doggface. The information he and I got from separate but impeccable sources matched 100%. However that was a few weeks ago now. I would hazard (for reasons you elaborate 19C) that at least one of the 4 are still substantially involved and if that is the case I am pretty sure not many on here would have heard of him. That is not to say there are not others who may have joined forces. I find it interesting in this week of all weeks Tony Lynham is overseas and despite what it says today in MJ's mouthpiece (The Echo) I don't believe he is in Switzerland.

Paul Lyham?

The difference between Painey and most other players was that he had something between his ears and he knew how to use it. He also never got caught!

Channon was "dropped" deliberately to qualify for the Combination final.

My "falling out" was over something I posted on here. You see the trouble I get into trying to enlighten my fellow postees

My Mum was in the director's box for the match at the invitation of George Reader - it was against West Ham I recall.

Not so sure I believe this story but if it is true then don't forget Leon can shout and scream as much as he likes but he will not have any real say in big decisions which I guess will be made by whoever the mysterious owner is Whether you like him or hate him he is at least a fan and last year he proved his fan credentials by going to all but 3 matches home and away. I have had my own "run in" with him but I know as far as Saints are concerned his heart is in the right place. I am also, fairly convinced that MLT will be Chairman of the football club and will assume some sort of Do|F responsibilities.

The days of managers staying at clubs like Southampton for 6 years are long gone. If he was successful he would be be cherry picked by a Prem club, if he was unsuccessful he would be sacked by the new owner anxious he was not getting a decent return on his investment.

Todays People claim that "Southampton are watching the situation" at Newcastle wher eit seems Shearer is becoming frustrated by not reaching an agreement with Ashley.

Yea but are you the original Original Bournemouth Saint? (See Weston Saint's post - that should settle your nerves)

Accepted by me.

Thanks Trousers - now back to your pornography
