SW5 SAINT

I always remember that as the musical backdrop to when we got relegated from the old Div 1 back in 1974!!!

Most people were saying only about 18 ago it would be at least 4/5 years before we resumed our rightful place above poopey. Who could have dreamed it would be this soon, and we our seeing a table of odds with us above them - sweet!!!!

Lol - Get over it, whats wrong with being in League 1?

I wasn't counting non league days. Ok I forgot the Third Division South title in 1921.

Your argument makes the whole idea of competition outside the Prem meaningless. The be all and end all being in the Premiership! I really wanted Saints to be champions. I think we have one less league titles( Just the one in 1960) than almost any of the other current 92 league clubs. Surely the whole point of entering any competition is to win it, or it always used to be. I'm sure in the EPL Arsenal, Chelsea etc wont be comforting themselves with the worthlessness of winning the title, just becuase they all get a slot in the Champions league next season!

That looks so dated

It has happened Maidstone United, Accrington Stanley to name but two. I think there have been more.

Manchester united, Arsenal, liverpool , Everton are longer

I'm sure the Wimpy was further down near the Royal Bank of Scotland. It still is a cafe of sorts.

World wide following, with kids in the back streets of Rio or wherever growing up with dreams of playing for poopey one day!

or sell Fitz Hall

From someone who absolutely detests golf, I think it should have gone to Lee Westwwod he is No 1 in the world in a truly international sport!!

What about the docks, how will QM2 & Oriana et al sail in and out of landlocked Switzerland!?

or pay Van Nistleroy 100k per week

The Yanks ( owners/ shareholders whatever) would lose money, they have actually ploughed ("Invested") 140 mil of their own money into this pit. Something that doesnt even seem to register with the scousers, who were even blaming the Royal Bank of Scotland for lending them the money in the first place. Where else have we heard this blame everyone else but themselves for the mess cheating or whatever they like to call it?

I don't think Whams holding company( the Icelanders) ever did go into Administration, after all they still there owning half the club!

To be fair the two major conurbations which border the New Forest are - Southampton and Bournemouth

He comes up with the finance

Seconded

The station is miles away from the town, however there is a bus to the town centre that meets the train.

And yet he is however a professional footballer - that is his career description

Lallana

Apart from Sturrock, struggling to think of another Saints manager winning his first match in charge going back nearly 40 years to when McMenemy took charge(and I'm pretty sure he didn't win his first, I'm sure we were about 5th when he took over in December 1973 and ended up relegated)

Are we allowed to sign him as a player outside the transfer window?
