Saint Without a Halo

If we were one up you could be sure the other side would score even with 30 seconds at last we can tooooooo

Can we do a Manu and score in the 96th minute?

When we were in the premiere we used to field our acadamey team against league 1 and 2 teams in the league cup and still win. Now whatever team we field seems to make no bloody difference!

I stopped being sad years ago now I am just sanguine

Stats Carlise 4 shots on taget and 3 off Saints 3 shots on taget and 10 off Says it all!

They have wingers who can turn our defence inside out!

It's ok we are winning on corners!

They will park the bus now!

Why do all the teams in this league seem to score easily except us?

carlisle score!

Mellis must score and hits the side netting1

Commentator says we havn't troubled the keeper despite our huffing and puffing!

Fry's only interest and indeed his paymasters are the companies owed money. He would have and indeed is legally obliged to pursue the bid that in his opinion offers the best return on the debts accrued! whether or no MLT was involved or what the future of the club is likely to be would have never influenced Fry's decision. As I have said previously if the best bid came from a developer who wanted to close the club down, demolish the stadium and build on the ground and the training ground then that is what he would have gone with. We were lucky that the training ground has a restrictive covenant on it from the original owners donation, the stadium is built in an area of little development potential and the credit crisis all combined to chase away any potential developers and asset break up merchants leaving an ongoing football club as the best bet! Fry must have either thought there was a better return from the Pinnicle bid or he was using it to try and drive the Swiss bid up. Either way I don't care as WE CAME OUT OF A POTENTIALLY DISASTEROUS SITUATION IN THE BEST WAY WE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HOPED FOR!

You are so right! Our scouting and academy networks used to be the envy of many and I am sure they contributed greatly to our long spell in the top tier. It is the only sensible way to compete with the big spenders particulalry when you remember we picked up the likes of Shearer from right under Newcastles nose!

LOL

You are quite right! Unless of course you intend to drink a hell of a lot of pints? maybe thats why he was rambling in the first place?

Maybe we are all under estimating Fry! it is not beyond the possible that he was in fact playing a mean hand at poker for high stakes and used a Pinnicale bid he knew was a sham to extract more from the Swiss one? Remember his only obligation was to get a better deal for the creditors! if selling the club to a developer and closing it down was the best option then that is what he would have gone for. Lucky the training ground was under a restrictive covenant and the stadium is not in a prime development area!

Only 25k? That wouldn't have any effect it is probably less than his fee for 2 days work!

He paid some £14m for the club! it belongs to him! of course it is acceptable! He is in the photo to show his association with the team, it doesn't mean he is picking the team or selecting the players to buy!

Yet according to Strachan Oakley was a key part of the spine of his very successful saints team!

When building any good team you start from the back, get the defence right and the spine strong. Give the team the confidence that they will not concede and then work on the creativity and when to take chances going forward. Can i urge all fans to have some patience this is a "work in progress" and so far it is going well. We are building from a very low base but if it is a solid foundation it will reach the heights without falling over! a win is a win is a win so celebrate it and look forward!

Not really an issue as neither will Poland!

Be happier when they have the worst finish!

A win at last!

We have had 2 shots on goal both by Waigo in 5 minutes!
