Nothing yet, that will be down to the man's will, family and lawyers.

A very sad day, especially for his family, I believe he was only in his early sixties so it must be a massive shock for them, R.I.P. Marcus.

I must admit that I really do not understand this decision by Mr. Cortese at all, as the Echo did report today that Saints used to get free photogrpahs from the away games; rather than send their own photographer at Saints cost, so the whole thing has left me baffled frankly, I just fail to see what was wrong with doing things they way we did along with all the other league clubs.

Nobody can argue with that, as some have said it is only 1.5 games in, but the way we seem to be playing does not fill me with confidence right now that is for sure.

Well the ice will certainly be getting thinner, that you can take to the bank.

Dream on mate, even if AP did leave Saints he would never drop to a league one side. I wish though like you.

I only ask as I thought AP might have played him in midfield, although he was a left back at the bee's

Not guilty me-lud

difficult to say after one game to be honest

What position is he playing in tonight?

I cannot get BBC Text either, I will try another game to test as to whether it is their system failing.

Good job he did not have the Madras pastry, as it would have scorched the skin off in another area; not until the following day though!

I have to agree with that statement 100%, ask any Leeds fan about Poyet and they will tell you the same thing, that it was him driving that team and not Wise when the pair managed them; Brighton are my dark horse for this season and when you take into account the funds he has available to him; then it just makes him even better, however, A.P. has done a good job so far and after one game we really cannot call for his head; but if it was me I would not leave it until Christmas before making a call I would give it until the end of October at the latest.

I am presuming that your comment is aimed at me, if so you are wrong, I much prefer here to any other country I have lived in or visited, most of my friends are in fact American and all of the ones I do business with as well, my attitude has always been "when in Rome" so on just about every count you are wrong, now I have not done this much explaining in years so before you judge me if your comment was aimed at me then I strongly suggest you take the time and trouble to get to know me.

In short not easy, your best way is to start a company over here and come in on an investment visa, as I did, however, my status is now changing as I am married to an American, therefore I have been approved for a green card, I just have to pay them another $1,000.00 to finalize it all.

Sorry, but completely wrong, redneck states are the real south, like Georgia, north and south carolina etc, Bush is no longer governer, it is Charlie Crist who was a republican but is going to run for senate on a independent ticket, as for being insular, fat, badly dressed and right wing then three out of four is not bad, but the house and presidency is now in Democratic control which is actually more in line with the tories, which makes the republicans slightly right of Adolf Hitler.

Neither, it was Beatrice Arthur, God rest her soul.

Gulf coast is good, Sanibel Island, Fort Meyers and Naples, good time of year in terms of the snow birds have gone home, however, it is rainy season and when the sun is out really hot right now.

That is a four hour drive for me, too far for a game I am afraid; I will just have to wait until Lauderdale has an MLS team again.

Their is some truth in that, however, an O level in England is like a PHD here, so it works for me.

Thanks mate, keep me posted on the game if you can, three points is a must we have to start as we mean to go on, Q.E.D. Win this league in style.

Hey Iansums, where are you planning to go? Orlando I guess, drop me a pm if you want.

Well another season starts and I will of course be watching and reading as to how Saints fair, I do love it here in South Florida; but I do miss having a beer with friends before a game and then watching a game at St Mary's. I actually went to my first live Baseball game last night, I kid you not I would rather paint a wall and watch it dry, the game is boring beyond belief, I am no cricket fan, however, it leaves Baseball for dead. Their is no atmosphere, no singing or chanting, just some pillock playing a a couple of bars on a hammond organ now and then; their is talk of Fort Lauderdale putting an MLS team together, that would be good and well supported because of the amount of South American, Haitian and jamacain residents that live here, however, it will never match my team, THE SAINTS.

I am begining to think that the way we do things in the UK is being lost in translation some how, does anyone know of any other club that carries out this kind of practice?

About two years ago I met a couple who were off to Ireland for their honeymoon, she was a nurse and she told me about this women who weighed in at around 350 pounds who was about to give birth; having got her into the correct position and spread the fat on her thighs so the baby could get out, the doctor then walked into the room; his comment was "how in the hell did this happen. She replied with "you are about the fifth short dixxed white doctor to ask me that", to which every one struggled to keep a straight face.
