Echo have now removed the reference to 'an assault on the Championship' in the last paras. What sort of cretin sub ed let through in the first place?

Jesus. Horrible news. Get well soon Dan. (FYI - there's nothing in that story that says it was the bouncers. People need to be careful what they say without substantiation.)

Beautifully put

Had to laugh when the commentator on Saints Player/ Solent was reading out the texts from fans once it became clear we were going to win it. Obviously hadn't read them in advance, as he read one out along the lines of "... and we've got one from Dan which says, watch out you dirty Skates because we're coming for you". He then followed up a few minutes later (presumably after an ear bashing from the producer) with a rather sheepish "... but of course we offer equal support to all our south coast teams".

Kerry Vixen

And they haven't bothered giving him a squad number

If we've got £15m for him that's the best piece of business we've ever done

Is this written in code?

And Bild has the sixth highest circulation of any newspaper in the world.

Quality - we have a winner

Well his song's sorted: "Stop! Ammar time."

We could just field a team made up of Saints fans, I reckon it would be competitive: GK: Me LB: David Frost CB: Craig David CB: Lucy Pinder RB: That chap from the BBC who everyone thought was going to buy us RM: Wade Elliott CF: Sam Vokes Sub: Benny Hill, as unfortunately dead, so should be viewed as a back up option at best. Just need the rest of the midfield and a supporting striker.

I'm a Saints fan. Doesn't mean I'm any good though

Aha - will do. Cheers

Where is this actually being reported? There's nothing on that Twitter link, and nothing on the OS

Yes I am THAT bored that I have put together a team made entirely of free transfers from that list. I predict this team would come 9th in the Championship. If nothing else, it's certainly got some experience. Apologies I've had to include some skates - I'm working on a shoestring here. GK: Daryl Flahavan RB: Stephen Wright CB: Anthony Gardner CB: Jonathan Fortune LB: Jon Harley LM: Jeremy Aliadiere CM: Lee Carsley CM: David Norris RM: Therry Racon CF: Benni McCarthy CF: Nathan Ellington Subs: Darren Powell Michael Brown Jamie Clapham Ivan Sproule Rory Fallon Kevin Lisbie Ultra-impact sub (surprised Liverpool have let him go tbh) - Louie Soares

And great stuff btw - thanks for taking the lead and sorting it

The story about he, Don Nicola and the watch should be on there.

There's also apparently something about a game we had (possibly with Spurs?) back in the day when we played out a draw, and both teams got promoted as result, at Brighton's expense. It was in 1978 or something. You'd think they'd possibly be over it by now, but it seems they still hate us for that as well.

Yes, and I'm glad.

Your web site is better than the OS

Good comeback

He actually said " “He is the best young lad I have ever come across in my time" Snarf

That would require an articulated lorry (hopefully)

I got through at 9.15 after a million attempts. The order was: - 30x recorded fella saying "Sorry, all our operators are busy, please call later" - Then connected but with soothing hold music for 10 minutes. Stay on the line - Then it started ringing, and kept ringing for at least 5 minutes. Again stay on the line - The spoke to the nice lady, who whilst a pleasure to speak to, wasn't the quickest. All in all, with hold music, ringing and booking process combined, it took 25 minutes to book two tickets. At that rate for one booking, and with that antiquated online system basically useless, not surprised it's taking forever for people to get through on the lines.
