1. The departure, through lack of backing from Ru**rt, of WGS 2. The departure, through lack of backing from Ru**rt, of Luggy

From the BBC: The Football Association is to examine alleged match-fixing allegations involving a Championship match sent to them by the Sunday Telegraph newspaper. Bookmakers reportedly detected a "massive movement" in bets in Asia in an unspecified Championship match at around half-time. Any ideas who/what/when?

They were takeover RUMOURS!They were not real! There was never an interest from Paul Allen. Rumours do not effect on the falling level of interest from fans for Saints. Bad results DO have such an effect. Bad management DOES have such an effect. Ru**rt's return DOES have such an effect. Playing kids against men DOES have such an effect. Closing the corners DOES have such an effect. Showing disrespect for fans DOES have such an effect.

Now THAT i would like to see. LOL

No, only if he's fit and WANTS to put the effort in. It sounds like his attitude has been wrong.

Actually, he did. He attracted the quisling, and ensuring himself unlimited power as part of the deal.

It doesn't matter what euphemism you use to name it. Premier is still the 1st tier, CCC is still second tier no matter what you call it, and "league 1" is still THIRD tier. We are in Div 2, heading for division 3.

35 million and counting!

Kiss him

What a great goal!

Here's a useful link for you. If you have trouble reading it, have someone read it to you. Good luck. http://www.learn4good.com/great_schools/uk_england_london_english_teachers.htm

I think it's called stupidity.

Let me see if I can say this without being banned; Anybody who thinks that what he/she calls "the moaners" rejoice when Saints do badly is an absolutely clueless, shortsighted, childish . Going by your spelling and punctuation (yes I know, that's a big word and may be hard for you to understand) you may fit the bill.

Wow, tire kicking a FORD? They have factories in the USA, Canada and Germany don't they?

Many on this board have taken to spelling Dyer's name as "Dire" so why be upset? he has the wrong attitude, so good it's nice to lighten the wages bill..

I really don't care about the results of other teams. SFC matters to me.

Roy Keane giving the finger to the crowd when we were hurting so bad already.

No, it's gone downhill since Ru**rt came in.

Total Football worked in the seventies, and even then only with very talented players. It's not the seventies anymore, and we don't have that kind of talent.

If that's the extend of his criticism I have no respect for him. BTW, WGS was truly unintelligible for fans and press alike. By all means, let's hear Merrington's views on the organization, the coach, the management etc., but language or accent is not our real problem right now.

I hate to disappoint you, but I don't enjoy this feeling of despair when it comes to my club, nor is it easy to be this many thousands of miles away. I would much rather be sitting in SMS for every game, in spite of the dire spectacle that our matches have become.

The only people looking forward to next Saturday will be the opposing team. Easy pickings.

Win or lose is now irrelevant. We will either be relegated or go into administration this season. Apart from stumbling into a rich Arab those are the only two likely outcomes of this season. An incidental win (should we be so lucky) doesn't change any of that.

I understand the sentiment UP, but even if one of them does attend, and sees "in the flesh" how sh@t we have become, do you really think it makes a difference for them? They already KNOW. They've made it this way. Nothing will change. They are not supporters, and would not be there to support the team, they would just be there to illustrate their power. They've made their decisions and will stick with them no matter what they see happening on the pitch.

JP is NOT Burley Mark II. He is however guilty of bad judgment. Bad judgment of his own skills/experience, bad judgment when it comes to thinking that the youth can keep us up, and most of all bad judgment in believing Ru**rt.
