All of it sounds like a repeat of history. RL never changes in his utter disrespect and even disgust for the fans.

What would you like to know: He was in there, he was "asked to leave". Disgraceful!

Seems a great illustration of Ru**rt's "brown shirt" tactics from old. Thanks much Mr. Quisling for bringing back that f@cking @ss!

Forget Baird, just another player who left us for "glory" and didn't fiind it.

Many probably have a bet going on Saints losing (if they have any common sense), so they may actually applaud!

Decent enough player in his day, definitely NOT in the "legend" class though. We need to keep that designation for the truly greats!

Most hated manager: Branfoot Worst: Wigley, closely followed by Burley

They are ALL important, but I think that when (at the end of the season) we look back we will determine that the home-loss against Forest is where we lost our status as a CCC club!

Keegan

Very true! But the food is better in the Crown & Anchor than in any stadium! Hope you had a good flight back?

Nice to have something positive to talk about for a change. Well done by the team.

It would be very nice indeed

lol!

No, unfortunately not. We lost a large number of fans upon relegation, and continue to lose more as we slip down the table. There is no reason to believe that will not continue to happen as we go down to even lower leagues. Sad, but true.

Quite.

Brilliant thread. keep them coming!

Apart from playing Holdem poker, this pretty much IS my job. It's a tough life!

I quite agree with the sentiment, but there is no turning back unfortunately.

OK. Original article in Voetbal International here: http://www.vi.nl/NieuwsItem/RodaJCHaaltAddoEnLaatSaeijsNaarSouthamptonGaan.htm Translation: Roda JC acquires Addo en lets Saeijs go to Southampton 08/01/2009 08:53 Roda JC will get Eric Addo on loan from PSV for the remainder of the season. Jan-Paul Saeijs will leave the club from Kerkrade, and he is to be loaned out to Southampton. Jan Poortvliet’s club plays in the Championship, the second tier of English football. Addo was on loan at Roda JC before. In 2003 the defender played 27 matches for them. The 30 year old Ghanese defender played only 2 matches for PSV this season. He scored once. Earlier Roda JC acquired Laurent Delorge from Ajax and Arnaud Sutchuin will come over from Anderlecht. Southampton gets Saeijs on loan for the rest of the season. The 30 year old defender has negotiated an option for Southampton to buy him. Condition is however that The Saints maintain their Championship status. Currently the team is in 23rd place, second from the bottom.

Pronounced Sigh-is

I think the only "unlikely" part that I put in there is that Jan Poortvliet would still be with us. I am sure he would have moved on to a bigger team, like Bournemouth.

Expect an article in the Echo in January 2011 that goes something like this: Big match at SMS this Sunday Saints are getting ready for the much anticipated visit of Accrington Stanley to Saint Mary’s. “This will be a crucial match in our season” says head coach Jan Poortvliet. “We were very unlucky when we played them in their own stadium and we lost 5-1. The referee at the time did not have a good day, and was obviously afraid to rule against a massive club like Accrington. Now we are in a "must win" situation, but I am sure that the lads will step up and make us all proud.” Director of Football Rupert Lowe is optimistic that Saints can avoid the drop to the Conference; “Our young lads are capable of great football. Our passing game is the envy of even premier league clubs, and if we can just create some more chances in front of the goal I am sure that we are on the way up the table. The support of the expected season-record 3000 strong crowd will help the lads tremendously.”

He seems to be smarter than the average player: His loan agreement has an option for Saints to keep him "provided Saits maintain their Championship status".

We'll need a lot more if we go into administration. Either way, we are on our way to League 2!

Don't you for one moment be fooled by the grin on his face, this guy is toxic!
