Dan Johnson

All the best to him, fond memories of his time here but time to move on

Felt the same reading the burnely board, but then we're all part of the football food chain I suppose... I'd be very surpised if JC was on 30k a week!

This...

The "robust striker" well he's certainly that now lol

Centre of Eastleigh? Littern Tree & The bar in the bowling Alley

I don’t think anybody knows what to expect. There are, by my assumption 16-18 teams that will be expecting to finish in or around the top 6 this season. Leicester are obviously pushing hard to win the league and West Ham, Birmingham etc will feel they should be there too... It's going to be a hugely exciting league with over performers, under performers; the key for any team doing well will be consistency. We don’t have the squad to win the league, and if we did... i don’t think we'd be setup for the prem, it may be a case of too soon. All the same we can go into games knowing the pressure is very much off us, we can perform knowing a win is no longer expected and I'm expecting to see a better standard of football. Our season, IMHO will depend on how we perform at home, and away to teams that will be languishing at the bottom of the league, rather than at the top What I can say about this season... i expect this to be one of the best in recent memory in terms of entertainment :-)

"dont draw any conclussions what so ever, he had a slight twinge so we didnt risk him" Adkins words on Ricky on Saints Player after he didnt feature on Saturday. went on to say that he is in "The shape of his life"

I cant see who would sign him to be honest? Aresnal are under pressure massively this season. If they lose Fabregas which looks likely, are they really going to replace him with an unproven 17 year old? They need to buy established players, and that for me doesnt include taking an expensive punt on Chamberlain! Man Utd have too many wingers at the moment with Valencia now fit and signing Young, Chelsea dont tend to buy young players and Liverpool have signed Downing already. It's all very well him saying he wants to play in the prem, but a prem team has to want to buy him. If we hold out for £12m I cant see him moving anywhere.

He's spending allot of time with his brother Shango. Rumor has it they're thinking of making an experience on this weeks RAW

The main thing im taking from this is that we're willing to spend 3.25 million on a player!! It's unheard of!

Can't remember what year, we were still at the Dell, fans were planning a protest against Rupert Lowe for lack of spending, que red top headlines suggesting we were going to sign Paul Merson for 5 Million

Bullard that is

+1 would love to see him here

I've played for Southampton Junior 1 side Compton for the last 12 years so my attendance to St Marys on Saturdays depends whether I have a game/kick off time/weather. Share a season ticket with my little brother. Also powerlift/bodybuild naturally and once my body gives up football will throw myself into that a little more. Big into my cars, bit of a grease monkey and love boxing so tend to watch allot of that when football season finishes

Is being reported on SSN in there transfer round up that he's joining Arsenal for £12m, source for them is the Daily Mirror

He'll get some serious banter from me if he joins Pompey, I forgave him for puking all over my room when we were watching fun house when we were like 10... dont think I could forgive him for this ;-)

Not only do I feel this is a real signing of intent, I'm also proud that we're targetting young english players

Connolly - Yes if only just for backup. We're short on experience strikers at the level. Gully seems to be deployed as a winger these days. Keep Connolly, get another striker in. Jaidi - Yes/No - I'm not Jaidi's biggest fan, if we're looking to improve the starting 11 then he is certainly where we should start. HOWEVER that all depends on what players are availble, get 1 CB in and we'd probably need to keep him as cover, get 2 in and we can let him go. Harding - Has certainly been improving, although again I think if we're looking to progress then we could probably do better. Butterfield - Same as above really, has been solid although if we want quailty in Gobern - undecided, not seen enough of him to comment really. Martin - Yes and loan him out

I hope they stay up, what a party all the fans would have at SMS :-)

I think we should be looking towards the play offs, if we finish the season just outside them then I'd count that as a good season. I'm really not too fussed about where we finish next season though, I'd say we need at least 2 seasons in the champ to prepare if we're really aiming for the prem

I'm going in 3 weeks... providing there is no more bombings of course, I will report back

...with the keith Lemon Tattoo!! He's on the bus!!!!

I thought Brighton might have been a play off side this season, but all credit to them they've been exceptional! with 14,000 season tickets sold in their new stadium for next season already and a really good manager in charge they can push on next season. A far cry from their dark days. I expect us to finish above them next season if we both get promoted though...

Damn, I'll be in Morroco... next year

Brighton have the same amount of games to play, and we have a bigger squad.
