The Fat Controller

lee holmes to surely play left midfield if fit?

nearly sold out ... only 140 tickets left of final allocation at 16:00 yesterday

i think that the old bill will send us to the Merlin pub 10 mins walk to the ground

I've got a feeling we will sign Sol Campbell, my reason for this is he is a free agent, probabaly lives in the area (within 40-50 miles), and has a bit of experience at Centre back. More importantly we can probabaly now afford to offer him a decent contract Who thought we'd have landed Lambert?

If the club are still saying that they are cutting costs - why when booking a ticket by phone did I just get put through to a call centre in Barnstaple in Devon??? Surely the SMS ticket office staff could cope with demand ?

Outside feeling that Norwich may sneek it

Last time I can remeber us winning on an opening day is when we beat QPR 5-1 at The Dell I'll go for Saints 2 Millwall 1

we may be able to get a player in on loan for a month or 2 ...... Chris Baird??

i wouldnt be suprised if Jiadi was joined by Bruno N'Gotty as they played as a central defensive partnership at Bolton and I think they are both are free transfers

Just found this on the PFA website - 20 pages of Free Transfers and some good players we may see in the not too distant future have a look for yourselves - Keith Gillespie??? http://www.givemefootball.com/pfa-transfer-list

This post seems to have ruffled up a few but it is a question for us to debate as that is what a forum is about. Doing a Keegan - walking away if a better offer comes in or the pressure gets to him. This is not meant as deflamatory against Pardew because he will do our club good, but purely the based on the comments of the Reading fans who I work with hence why I asked this question

Why they are are ****e

it looks more like a pompey kit.... bloody terrible

time to move on guys SFC is a living thing - no disrespect to Lawrie or Matt le Tiss but this is a new chapter of history. Tiss and Lawrie Mac are part of our great club's history and should stay there, we need to grip reality of being minus 10 points in the 3rd division of English football. This is reality and we welcome SFC Markus Liebherr and Alan Pardew with open arms and wish them good luck in trying to re-build our once great club

Don't shoot me for this but i work with a lot of Reading fans who tell me he will say the right things in press conferences but will use us as a stepping stone to better things..... Is Pardew the right man or Keegan in disguise???? Quite simply yes or no is Alan Pardew the right man for Saints?

Never meant as a crticism just a fair question.... we just need to attract quality signings capable of doing a job in this league. Won't be surprised to see a Reading old boys like Murty, Lita, Bobby Convey and Glen Little signed up along with Matt Holland

Leroy Lita Saturday morning

is this the best we can get????............... can see us struggle if true but hope not

Ajax thumped Bristol City 4-0 last night and made them look garbage... god help us !!!!

10 minutes from home ... £10 in a taxi .... Old bill will be strict about where we drink - 2 weatherspoons 5 minutes from train station or queens tap opposite. approx 3/4 mile walk to the ground

a) New Manager? Kevin Keegan b) His assistant? Alan Shearer c) Five realistic players? JP Saeijs , Matt Oakley, Graeme Murty, Glenn Little, Alan Bennett d) A job for MLT? Sky Sports pundit e) One ground improvement? Increase the capacity of The Kingsland stand to allow new corporate /office facilities to be built under the stand so we can compete as a World Cup venue f) One catering improvement? Open all the facilities so we can get served easier, and make more choices on the pies g) New half time entertainment? 3 Random Persons get picked to take 5 penalties against reserve keeper.. winner gets a Liebherr fridge delivered to their home full of beer h) Picture in the boardroom? FA Cup final 1976

Ill give him a lift as long as he don't nick my car or wallet

I think we have an oppurtunity to prune the dead wood. I can see the Davis and Poke being our main keepers 3rd string Tommy Forecast. Bialkowski send out on loan In defence we need Murty if he's fit and JP Saeijs if he will come back now Wotte's gone. Another 2 i'd sign is Alan Bennett and Vignal. That would give us strength at the back. Midfield we have to get an experienced ball winner a last year we missed Safri , on the wing where we are short would Glenn Little be worth a punt - Ok he's a skate but we would get him cheap and if he could reproduce his Reading form that would be good. Strikers BWP and Euell both garbage so get rid, some one like Brett Ormerod would get us loads in this league and play him with Stern John and use Paterson as back up

Oh now the Saints are billionaires oh now the saints are billionaires lets take the P*** out of Pompey Cos there skint and no one cares!!!!

Just chant the tune to The Great Escape and at the end shout "Liebherr" rather than The Saints. Considering He is German this will cause a bit of a laugh
