Re-writing his history again then......... not so long ago he was carping on about being an Arsenal fan as a boy and watching them with his old man......now its training with Spurs and always being around the club at 11 or 12.......add to his spiritual home at West Ham...before Pompey became his spiritual home that is.....and surely Bournemouth fits in somewhere. you couldnt make it up could you ? well, not as good as Redcrapp can anyway !! : - )

If he does take Spurs down (please please God) then he wont be able to air brush that failure out of his CV like he has with Southampton !! I prey he gets to pay his dues....

I do not think for one minute that people with money like Leon Crouch who support the Saints would let us fall into administration. It may mean a further upheaval in the boardroom at the 11th hour with Lowe and Wilde forced to admit defeat but I cannot see administration happening. The one thing I have never understood since RL and MW came back is that surely they have only come back to protect their shares (esp Lowe who is not as wealthy as Wilde) so if they let the club slip into administration wouldnt their shares be worth nothing at all ?

If they were playing together for the opposition it would be quite funny.....unfortunately i share your fear.

So let me get this straight in my little brain. JP more or less admits that the addition of the experienced, older players on Tuesday night, among them Stern John, helped in no small way get us a much unexpected point. 48 hours later Lowe loans him to Bristol City therefore taking away one of the few experienced players we have. I think I can see your cunning plan Baldrick, sorry Rupert.................... Clueless, totally clueless ego maniac Lowe.

I would think its a record for the league never mind just Saints !

If he is showing up the kids we wont see him again !!!!!!

Rudi ! Rudi ! Rudi !

3-0 to Shef. Utd, they love set pieces and we, umm....dont !!

The reason he save McGoldrick's penalty was because it was bloody awful....end of !!

Injured.

It doesnt evade DECENT managers and chairmen ! We havent had a decent chairman to speak of (altho I think Crouch could have been) but as for managers, well both Hoddle and Strachan worked it out and tightened up the back.

Quite agree, every team that does anything in this league, and I include avoiding relegation in that, has a couple of big, burly cloggers at the heart of their defence.

Surely instead of getting all these midfield and strikers on loan the solution to our problem would be to scout round the premiership/championship and pick up 2 or 3 older (28 - 35) defenders who are experienced and know how to defend basics like corners and crosses !! Go with the boys in midfield and up front if thats what we have to do but have a solid back line that is experienced. Look at the difference Perry and Lucketti made at the end of last year. A decent centre half to go next to Perry or Killer and a couple of full backs. Who knows, it may just work......and i think it stands a better chance of working than the current line up in defence. There has to be clubs esp in the premiership who have older defenders who just dont get a game anymore. I am lost for words as to why JP.....or RL have a blind spot about the defending and full backs especially. Time to wise up, we can all see it, and so can every team we play !!

Well he went on holiday to Jersey (guest of Wilde maybe ?) himself, it says so in his notes in the programme !

I was going to say GB wont be in that job this time next year as he has bitten off more than he can chew. Having seen that vote of confidence quote I may change it to this time next month !!

I think I have more chance of seeing an Elvis Presley comeback concert than seeing SFC taken over anytime soon !!

Like several players currently in the first team Lancashire just is not ready IMHO. Of course the chance to bring them through gradually is not a step we seem to be able to take at present. Perhaps if our loans were experienced defenders it would help Lancashire and Mills etc to watch them in matches and learn in training..........unfortunately this does not appear to be the way the management, or chairman, want to take us !!

Unfortunately the manager thinks McGoldrick is better than he actually is....as does the player himself. JP has jumped all over others when they have been poor by taking them off or leaving them out but it doesnt seem to apply with DM. Everything you say is 100% true.

these boys are mainly 18 - 22.................how the hell can they be tired playing 2 games in a week ? do we work on players fitness and stamina ? you can just imagine WGS accepting that excuse cant you ?

Could you explain to us how Rupert Lowe found Lallana ? Did he stand on a cold and wet touchline in a park in Bournemouth about 6 years ago and spot him personally then ?

As long as the "top" isnt reached during January 1 - 31st 2009 !!!!

Well it must have been me then but i thought for the first half hour the Norwich winger, Croft, absolutley roasted him everytime he had the ball. Having said that he looks more promising than James at right back.....but then again the kid isnt a right back yet still we persist !

Nick Holmes, Mike Pickering (promotion year) and Manny Andruzewski (apologies for the spelling ! )

He's going to Sheffield Utd according to the BBC website !
