.....................er yes!

Seconded! I always look for the postings of FF and agree with CEC that the contributions of FF are a great asset to the forum. I like the gossip and snippets of news. If it goes pearshape later, so what? A genuine source can sometimes be wrong and the phantom ITK poster will be spotted. I think FF should be thanked not pilloried.

I did enjoy the diversion!

I may be wrong, but it was something to do with a player called Jaidi, but may be spelled differently. It would be nice to know the answer to an earlier poster's enquiry. "Is he still training with us?" We still need a big CB with experience IMO! I don't think spelling or poor grammar detracts from a point of view. Need to remember that grammar has not been taught in schools for decades and many teachers under 40 can't spell either, so the young ones don't have a chance. .............only my opinion! I don't want the Education Establishment after me.

A familiar complaint in these parts!

Very well put; I agree with your comments

How long before AP takes action over this, assuming he agrees with you and many other posters.:confused:

Unfortunately, I agree with you. and IF Watton is the worst, it must be quite an achievement as there has been plenty of competition over the years.

It all sounds so familiar. How long does it take for the new owners and management to realise that most of our central defence and midfield would be inadequate for the Blue Square South- and take remedial action?

Out with the old and in with the new! "Long Live R.L." ...the NEW one, of course!

............and perhaps buy a Saints shirt?

Sorry, I think I'm in the wrong room, nurse. I'm looking for the takeover thread, so has it happened yet?:confused:

Now if he were to buy a club a few miles to the South East of Southampton, where they are short of investment, we could manage even more "pointless threads" about him! :smt070 :D:D

I dont suppose we'll ever get the answer, but those few days really cost us dear. You are quite right, LD; a very costly delay and the real reason will probably remain buried in myths. But, hey! We have a glorious future beginning.

I hope that you meant that in the theatrical sense of "Good Luck." Not as in Stern J! (ok I know it was his Arm.) In any case, what a brilliant signing to start the week. Well done NC, AP and all. "Southampton F C;pride of the South!" It's starting to ring true again. Thank you TAC-TIC for your well informed posts:).

There are so many excellent well thought arguments expressed on this thread; a change from some of the rants elsewhere!! In particular, I think "Jimmy" (post 47) makes the valid note that points deductions should occur at the time of Admin taking place for everybody. Some posters have rightly drawn attention to the vicious treatment of weaker clubs like Bournemouth, Chester and Luton. Their fans have certainly suffered, while in some cases certain directors survive! I agree that failed directors should be banned from Football ownership or directorship for a long period. Incidentally has anyone noticed that Dyer, BWP, S John, Surman,McGoldrick and Ewell were not relegated last season-just the rest of us!

Big support will be vital and avoiding getting on the yougsters backs if things aren't perfect at first. Support and patience needed.

Still nothing on the OS.

......and then they need work permits.:confused:

Didn't we do that last season?

"Happy days are here again..." Well, nearly.

That sounds good after the doom on other threads recently.

Is he any good? Coming from the prem: there must be some hope, I guess!

Plenty of options in midfield and attack, maybe; but they all seem ineffective. New quality players needed urgently perhaps!
