All you lot havin a go at the new boy, give him a chance ffs. I'd hate to see a witch hunt ala Beattie, Crouch, Fuller, Kenwyne, etc, all experienced it at the hands of the 15000 dinlo's who go to sms. Shameful. Oh for the Dell days pre dinlo's and interweb.

It happened mate I've asked someone who works there and he confirmed it too. Fair play to Cortese I say.

Deja vu = Wigley (Les whathisname connection)!!

no chance of fergie letting him go the way he's playing mate!

Ian Holloway? Probably not on massive money and there has been some upheaval at Blackpool in the boardroom at the start of the season, with Holloway talking of leaving if his boardroom ally leaves...

Calm down everyone, on that twitter link above the club basically laugh it off. Paul Hart is not gonna happen. RT @simonpeach: If we get Hart I will consider resigning as a #SaintsFC fan. The reply in bold being from the club...

Feel sorry for Pompey. Bellamy is ripping them to shreds and Cardiff shouldn't have been able to sign him in their situation:lol:live by the sword...

They only had 4 subs today again bless 'em. Absolutely nobody in their youth teams who would benefit from being on the bench obviously, or would that detract from their "spin" about how short of players they are? We know the answer to that one by now don't we!

Waddock Hunt...

Sad and shocking news.

Apologies if this link has already been posted. Opinion and a little history from former newspaper editor Roy Greenslade: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/greenslade/2010/aug/09/southampton-fc-press-freedom

Picture this(no pun). You're the sports ed of the Sun. From a personal point of view: Many of your oldest and best friends are photographers. This applies to many of the journos working under you. You prob started on a "provincial" paper, again as did many of your colleagues and therefore sympathise with them when they are supposedly "bullied". From a professional point of view: When you're getting the pullout ready on Sunday morn for Mondays pullout you want a wide selection of pics to choose from, from both a financial and artistic point of view. Taking just these factors into account you can see how Mr Sports ed is gonna make sure he nips this in the bud. I really wonder if Mr Cortese can pull this off.

to boo, or not to boo, that is the question...

Hammond could have had a dozen goals from headers in his 50 appearances for Saints but always seems to miss. It was bugging me last year, now really getting on my t!ts!

Prem chief: Pompey duped us. More from Scudamore in the Sun: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3080777/Richard-Scudamore-said-he-was-betrayed-as-Portsmouth-went-into-administration.html

A nice summary in The Sun. Check out the reporters name!: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3068265/Portsmouths-tour-from-hell.html

Look good on kids and pro footballers, not so good on middle aged men with beer guts imho.

Saints schoolboys u15s used to play an invitational game at the Dell each year for the George Reader Trophy. In our year we played Watford and won 3 1. Does anyone know if this still happens each season?

Never heard of him. Has he ever won the Rugby World Cup!

Great atmosphere in the Northam today. Loved the Fonte song and Barnards song too. Quality afternoon.

Worked for Bun for 20 yrs. It's called a "wraparound". Front and back. Would be just in Southampton. Printed in Pompey tho lol! They do it for all cup final winners. Thought it looked good too...
