All joking apart, we all know we are in need of a striker and I dont think this is a bad move. The Glenn Hoddle Academy (GHA) has been set up to give players that have been released too early by clubs a second chance. Chris Fagan was at one time thought very highly of by the Manchester United coaches. Last week he was called up by the Republic of Ireland U'21's to face Germany. Fagan is looking for his big break back into football and is hungry and is chomping at the bit, which at the moment I think we could do with, is there any harm in trying him over McGoldrick? its not like McGoldrick is actually doing anything productive at the moment is it.

Trialist Ronayne Marsh-Brown played on the right of Defence. OS says Wotte knows him from his time at RKC Waalwijk (where whe was signed by Martin Jol) This is the same Marsh-Brown that has been playing for Dorchester Town this season and this week walked out on the club to take up a community coaching job at Fulham. How did he get lost between Dorchester and Craven Cottage and end up at Staplewood. http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/sport/4117041.O___Donnell___s_men_show_no_mercy/ look about half way down.

The Express and Star did not run the story you refer to so I can only assume it was picked up from elsewhere and wrongly attributed. And as far as we are aware there is no truth in the piece. I hope this clears things up for you. Kind regards Stuart Austen Sports Editor

As I believe this could be big news if true I have emailed the express and star for verification of the article. I shall update when I have heard anything back probably wont be until tomorrow.

thanks ponty. Who is the John 'Lowe' bloke that they keep going on about during the interview?

can someone answer this. on a match day can you get commentary through the radio hants website? I was wondering as i believed you could only get it through saintstv am i correct or am i wasting £30 a year on saintstv?

Just posted this on the donny v norwich thread as well. Read in to this what you will. Just had a message from my mate who i went to norwich game with on tuesday (norwich fan) to say that Mark Wotte is at the Donny v Norwich game. Can anyone confirm this as if true must be scouting for a player as we have played both teams twice already and its a pretty long way to go the night before a game just to watch a game. Any thoughts Lupoli again?

This may be of interest to some of you but not to others and read in to it what you will, and make up your own minds. Lupoli, much to his annoyance, was yet again left on the bench today by Norwich. This was also much to the disgust of a large number of the Canary fan club who were hoping Bryan Gunn would play him in a bid to keep him happy and not jumping ship to a relegation rival. (the final score did dampen the feeling) During the game, Lupoli went for a warm up and certain sections of the Norwich fans started singing his name, to which the Barnsley fans started their own rendition of "oh when the saints" (not oh when the reds or oh when the tykes) This as you can imagine wasnt greated well by Norwich fans. However this does show the rumours are not confined to just Saints and Norwich. When Lupoli did come on, Norwich were awarded a penalty to which Lupoli grabbed the ball to take (typical striker, and good to see) but much to his annoyance the ball was taken off of him by Clingan and words were exchanged. At the end of the whistle and after a 4-0 win, it was all smiles at Norwich, except for one particular Italian.......

The news seems to be in Italy too http://www.firenzeviola.it/?action=read&idnotizia=37078 is that a good sign?

The Pampers St Mary's Stadium

Surely the goalkeeper must go to Micheal Stensgaard. didnt we sign him from Liverpool Denmark's number 2 behind Schmeichel at the time.

And means for people like me and my daughter who live in west midlands but are visiting family in Romsey for New Years wont be able to go coz we cant afford to buy another 4 tickets as well as 2 for Man Utd.

lol as most of the players are from the academy and are probably still on their academy wage of £90 a week it may do.
