Exactly!

I may have to BOB down to St. Mary's for tonights game.

Where did I have a pop about not being able to find decent players? I clearly state that we've found the likes of Lambert and Hammond, so why can't we find defenders who can add some qulaity to the squad instead of taking people on loan. People who are not even proven at CCC level! Birmingham may have been promoted twice with loads of loan players. On the other side, we've been relegated twice with too many loan players!

Err, no they are not. If they are no good then why sign them in the first place? Nobody seems to know anything about this lad. My guess would be that he has a similar level of experience as Lancashire . All that happens is you end up with someone for 6 months that adds nothing to the squad. If he goes back in Jan then we are left with a problem, and have to go through the whole process again, looking for another defender on a 6 month loan. The problem is that we don't have a single centre back who is any good. We should be looking to buy 2 players who can build a central defensive partnership that will become a solid unit for years to come. We should also be looking to buy a striker who can partner Lambert and form a striking partnership. I can't believe that our scouts have been unable to identify players who can do a job for us and bring some much needed quality to the team. There are players out there who can do a job for us - We've proved this by signing the likes of Lambert and Hammond.

This is bull****. Why are we taking players on 6 month loan deals? We are supposed to be building a team that will get us out of L1. Have we not learned the lesson with loan players? Part of the reason for our demise over the last few seasons has been because we've had too many loanees who are not commited enough because thay have no passion for the club.

I'm nervous that he may opt to join his old manager at Norwich!

With the Colchester manager leaving for Norwich, is nobody else nervous that he may try and take Hammond with him?

Oh yes you would. Chester are my local team and if you want to see an example of a **** poor team and a club who are well and truly ****ed then look no further! They were 2-0 up on Saturday and lost 4-2... Hang on a minute, that sounds like the sort of thing Saints would do. You have to laugh or else you'd cry!

Simply not good enough! We are supposed to have all these promising youngsters yet none of them seem to be delivering the goods. I can understand why they may have struggled last season as they were thrown in at the deep end, but they should easilly be capable of playing at this level. The older players in the side should certainly be able to hack it in L1, but I've seen little evidence of this. Get some people in who actually want to play for the club. Anyone who is not prepared to give 100% should be shown the door! Can anyone tell me what AP's problem is with Gillett? FFS, give the lad a chance!

Joseph Mills! And before you start, I know he's injured. But if fit he should be straight in the team.

I'm looking for programmes from the final home games from the last 2 seasons. That's Sheff Utd at home in 2008 and Burnley at home in 2009. Can anyone help or tell me where I may be able to get them? Cheers.

They've said that before. Phil Selway was on Breakfast news on Tuesday and they asked him if the 'no more albums' statement was true. He repilied 'Thom always says that when we are mid-way through recording something'. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. They've often talked about just releasing ep's. Fine with me. Alwyas preferred quality to quantity.

Made me laugh when he was going on about banning the players drinking. The words Pot & Kettle spung to mind. lol

I suggested Sodje weeks ago and was blasted for it. Now everybody seems to think he'd be a good addition. WTF!

No. But a mate who's an Ipswich fan was desperate for me to wear a Norwich shirt on the last day of last season. He was convinced it would help seal their relegation to L1.

Chester are my local team. They are in a real state. To be honest this could well be the final straw for them. I could go on for hours about events that have conspired against them, but to be honest I don't see the point. My gut feeling is that they should just call it a day. A sad way of looking at things but when you're in the position that they are it seems pointless continuing. The frightening thing is this. Obviously I'm a Saints fan. As a child my Grandad took me to Luton Town and I had a season ticket there in the late 80's. Living so far from Southampton makes it difficult to get to home games as often as I'd like, so I go and watch my local team - Chester City. I'm beginning to think that I may be a Jinx!

Got a feeling it will be 4-1 to Millwall.

It's ****e! Our worst shirt ever!

Please God! If they scrap Top Gear it might actually mean we get to see something other than repeats every night of the week, and re-runs on Dave.

Oh F*ck

None

None! I see Christian Dailly has gone to Charlton.

Elbow & The Halle Orchestra at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester earlier this month.... Very special indeed.

To be fair he plays a different roll than either John or Rasiak. He's not and out and out striker. He often plays behind the front 2 or wide right, so he could have actually fitted in quite well. Anyway, it's irrelevant as he didn't come and has gone elsewhere.

Warnock wanted to put him out on loan last season to try and get him fit following injury. Plymouth wanted him but he refused to go as he's settled in London. I think a couple of smaller clubs showed an interest but again he refused to go on loan and wanted to fight for his place at Palace. At the time he was confident he could earn a 1 year deal. Wotte also made an approach to take him on loan. Not sure of the full details but Warnock fell out with him big time because of his refusal to go anywhere on loan. Ultimately this lead to him being shown the door at Palace with no offer of a short term contract. He then had talks with Saints about a permanent move. This would have been over 6 weeks ago so it would have been instigated by Wotte. He said the talks didn't progress as nobody knew what was going on at the club. In the end he opted to go to Orient as one of his mates is manager there.
