Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

It is a suprise. He always scores against us and then calls me to gloat. He's still not 100% fit having missed nearly all of last season with an injury thanks to Neil Warnock insisting that he play before he was full recovered.

Just looking at the Orient score. I bet Jamie Scowcroft scored for Orient. We really should have signed him when we had the chance. And before you all start, we did have a chance. I know Jamie and he had talks with us.

Absolute rubbish! I one saw a plastic flower in a plant pot that danced when you played music. If that's not the most amazing thaing that 'Man' has achieved then I don't know what is?

This could go on forever, and to be perfectly honest I can't be arsed. You, like many others think it happened. I, like others do not. I've heard both sides of the story over the years and have drawn my conclusions from that. Now, about that guy whith the white beard and the red suit. You say he comes once a year, and he enters your house via the chimney...

You obviously have a problem understanding what did, or didn't happen, as you seem to think that I said I believed that story. At what point did I say that I believed that story? I simply said it was my favourite Moon landing story. I believe that as much as I believe the moon landings happened. It's quite amusing. That's all.

I don't believe it happened. Perhaps someone can tell me how they operated those Cameras in those space suits? I've seen the Cameras that they were supposed to have used and there's no way they could be operated by someone in a spacesuit. The other thing is that all the pictures are perfectly in frame. A near impossible task given that the Astronauts were unable to use a viewfinder at eyelevel. Anyway, on a lighter note. This has to be my favourite Moon Landing story... When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement but followed it by several remarks, usual com traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control. Just before he re-entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky." Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled. On July 5, 1995 (in Tampa Bay, FL) while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question. When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball which landed in the front of his neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky, "Oral sex! You want oral sex?! You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

Granada Reports is our ITV evening news show here in the NW. Tonight on the show they did a feature about some guy from Manchester who got stuck down a drain whilst trying to retrieve a set of car keys. They asked viewers to text or e-mail in with their most embarrasing moment in public. The first e-mail they read out was from a guy from Ellesmere Port who said his most embarrasing moment was when he wore a Southampton shirt in public. **** taking bastard!!! Obviously some kind of P*mpey fan who thinks he's funny, despite the fact he cracked his joke on a TV show that's only seen by a handful of Saints fans. *****!

Him and Sodje would be great for the back 4.

I can't believe that there's only been 1 signing this week. Sack the manager & The board!

As I said earlier. Sodje would be an excellent signing if AP can get him. Come on Alan. Use your powers of persuasion! Danny Mills at RB would be a good addition. Better than Murty!

Sam Sodje. HCDAJFU

My concern is with our defenders. A mate who supports Luton Town said that Chris Perry had a nightmare in League One when he was with them. When I said that I was worried about him coming to Saints if he couldn't hack it in L1, his response was - He's better suited to the style and pace of Championship football. L1 is just far too physical for him. Not entirely sure what he meant by this, I guess time will tell.

Yep, Totally agree with you on that one. How old is Perry? Murty doesn't exactly inspire confidence either.

Ipswich supporting friend has just sent me a text to say that when he's interested he's a good player. When he can't be arsed (which is quite often by all accounts) he is shocking! Sounds like what we've already got :\

Don't get me wrong I'm glad to see that we are signing players, but I thought we had plenty of cover at L/B and L/M? Are our existing options (Molyneux, Mills etc.) really that bad? Surely it's Centre Backs that we need? A strong midfielder and a proven goalscorer would also be good additions, but I'm sure that will happen.

When are some people going to start looking to the future instead of dwelling on the past? LM did a great job for us, but that was 30 years ago. We are a completely different club now. Football has changed and I'm not convinced that somebody who did a great job 30 years ago has much to offer these days.

Never fogiven him for missing an empty goal from 6 yards out away at WBA the season we got relegated from the Prem. Had he put that away it could have been a different story. lol

Fair comment. I was simply trying to focus on his time in English football. Had I not mentioned this, then there would have been loads of people on here saying 'so where does WGS winning the Scottish Prem come into this'. You know how it is. lol

I've seen the comments about AP being no WGS. If you look at their records in English football they ain't a million miles apart. Both managed losing sides in an FA Cup final. WGS may have had the highest league finish, but AP gained promotion with 2 teams. I'd say they are pretty evenly matched. We've done well to get him. He's certainly a better option than some of the names that were doing the rounds. You can't really include WGS time at Celtic as it's not exactly difficult to do well in a league where you manage one the two richest clubs in the division.

Friday 24th. Jamie Scowcroft.

It's a nice thought, but have we really got the money to put such a management team in place? I know we've just been purchased and the new backers will inject some money, but they will also be keen to keep things sensible and I just can't see them stretching to 2 well known managers.

This is exactley the kind of appointment I am expecting. Sadly, I can't see WGS or Coppell coming, so it comes down to the likes of Curbishley, Pardew, Boothroyd or Wise. I don't see any reason why he couldn't do a good job for us. He has experience at this level and given time and support from the board I think he more than capable of getting us out of L1. I'm sure there are a few fans out there who would be happy if Dowie or Mickey Adams were appointed, simply because of their Saints links. However, Pardew is probably as good as, if not better than either of those two, so if he comes then we should try and be positive and get behind the guy. How many of us were dreading the arrival of WGS all those years ago? Look what he ended up doing! Now the majority of fans want him back.

That is f*cking disgusting! Our worst ever away shirt! Who ever came up with the idea of it being Blue should be F*cking shot. Oh well. They'll be a fiver in the bargain bin in 9 months time.

Yellow again - Boring! The club is entering a new era and we opt for the same old thing. It's well documented that the Yellow kits don't sell particularly well for the reason that if people have got one yellow shirt, they make do with it and don't always buy another. I would have liked to have seen something completely different. Oh well.
