There is already no hot water in the taps in the Chapel Stand, but perhaps we will have red & white striped hand towels to warm us up next season?

No, get a season ticket.

They will go on sale as soon as we are safe in the Premier League I would think.

I think they were silver coloured.

Terrific.

Absolutely. Cannot agree more.

A good signing for us but John Hollowbread was the biggest goalkeeping character we ever had.

Stuart Ripley

Unbelieveable. Will we ever see the like again?

Do not worry, I bet that other pundit Tony Gale did'nt tip us to win. I missed his spot this morning on Sky. Did anybody see it?

Great for Adam, the club and the fans.

Cortese is a business man. He will not tip cash into SMS without a business case, you can be sure of that.

Whelan would say that. He is always in the front row at the Tory Part Conference.

We have alreday got him. He heads up the Juniors at Staplewood.

oops! Precisely.

It is all about GUARANTEED Income though. Selling additional seats on match days at some matches is not guaranteed. About the only thing Rupert Lowe said with any sense is that he would not consider expanding the Stadium until we had 25K Season Ticket Holders each season for 5 years. This is a basic business requirement. Does anybody know how many we have now-20K?

Thompson who played for QPR had a bit of pace about him on the wing yesterday V Wigan. I believe he is on loan fom Spurs. We still need a pacey winger.

http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Premier+League/Southampton Here is a good thread for all Saints news.

Reading fans so quiet and stadium so empty whilst watching on Sky. They certainly did not get behind NA pre match appeal to get behind the team!

Agree with others here that he has been playing very well of late.

His all round game is unbelievable now. Well done King Rickie!

The empty seats were very noticeable on SKY and the Reading supporters were so quite. The saints fans came across loud and clear though with their singing.

I hope this dispels the myth of Harry Houdini once and for all when he has had QPR-down, Portsmouth-down and bust-Saints-down & admin, Bournemouth-down & admin.

I did not realise he had that pace until recently. Just needs to strenghten his shots and he will be a complete player. Time very much on his side.

It was a good debate which I listened to on way beck to West Dorset after the game. Savage made himself look stupid and when a West Ham fan rang in to say he would take Rickie over Carroll. it really said it all.
