I will not believe we are not in a relegation scrap until mathematically safe. I do believe we are good enough though.

So Pompey have had 10 home games, and a supposed season ticket base of 9000, and yet have had 200,000 different people through the gates. Somebody wasn't paying attention during maths lessons,

Guy Whittingham post-match interview prediction: "No way we deserved to lose that. In fact we should have won.....again"

They only have less than half n hour to pick up their mandatory 5 bookings.

Ramirez fit, Cork fit, Shaw fit. That's what I call a coincidence.

ffs

...

[ Yep. Read it. Read it again. It still reads like a standard contractual dispute.

Seems like a fairly standard contractual dispute to me.

The FL are the other clubs. Didn't the latest set of sanctions follow a full meeting of the FL?

What have they done?

Could someone please explain to me how, as a law abiding citizen of this country, I benefit from the HRA? It seems to me that, for the most part, I need to have either arrived here illegally, or have committed or be accused of committing a crime.... or both. It would also help if I didn't have any visible means of supporting myself or my family. Or so it would seem.

A Point of Order: * Chinny hold a Debenture, which includes a charge over FP. * He can't exercise his powers under that Debenture because PCFC (or whatever incarnation they now inhabit) are in Administration * Administration ends in Feb unless there is a Court Order allowing it to continue - and presumably that would require the connivance of the unsecured creditors * The Consortium will make Chinny an offer based on the value of FP as a football ground - £2.5 to £3m * The Consortium intend to acquire further parcels of land to enhance the value of FP as a development opportunity * Chinny will allow that to happen without tying them up in legal knots until February. Close the thread.

Seriously, who is Mike Osman? How is this Saints related?

Just like Appleton had never heard of Blackpool.

Some people are very myopic.

I love the Pl. it's great to be back mangle big boys. I'd prefer it o be goung better but, hey, I'm a Saints fan. I never expected it to be easy. If we go down, so be it. Rebuild and come back. All part of life's rich pageant. I hope the "Southampton way" is to stick with NA, give him and the team time, and reap the longer term rewards.

4-2-4 Go for it.

I'm with you. Given time he will build a dynasty here. Think long term bed wetters.

Seriously? You're comparing Walcott et al with De Ridder etc?

Precisely

Oh come on - you aren't seriously bracketing him with that lot? And Jones has had a pretty enviable career in the game. We're here ahead of schedule and I for one will not be diappointed if we stick by Nige andf the team as they learn about this league. I'm happy that we've bought players who will grow rather than the bunch of misfits at QPR. Have a bit of faith

I'm hoping for a poem; preferably a limerick

Christ there are some miserable and argumentative sods on here..........

Brilliant. Southampton will play 4 - 3- ****ing 3.
