Condolences to you and your family. You will be very sad now but as time passes, there will be many happy memories to reflect on.

Thats it in a nutshell.

Cannot see a deal for Harte ever coming to fruition.

I think it is right that the lack of goals concerns us. However, it does seem we are not having the luck we deserve. Just look at the stats. for every game so far. But we do have players who can score goals, there is no doubt about that and the team is creating goal scoring chances. I believe that the goals will come in abundance with this team, lady luck will smile on us and we will not be disappointed as we are now. I do wish though we had cover for Rickie and a pacey winger in the Antonio/Papa mould as this is where we are short at present.

AP has not let us down with his signings since he has been here so I guess Guly is the man we need and have been asking for in midfield. A couple of pacey wingers now and cover for Rickie and we are in heaven. COYR.

Papa was not signed last year until the end of August and this came out of the blue, so no need to panic yet.

A number were removed in favour of the plain black boarding around the perimeter in respect for Markus. Agree though, that not many boxes were occupied.

He was good when, as a young player , he came to us from Rotherham I believe. He went to Blackburn where he was poor and had stick from the fans. When he came back to us he always appeared lazy and I was not disappointed to see him go. Must admit though his career blossomed since under Big Sam.

yep, just about right.

Good to know you are still about Littlelat. I remember you had a spare ticket from us for a University friend when we met outside the Megastore. Cannot remember the game but we were certainly in the Premiership then. How time flies! Back to business--good to see the text Baj, well done as much more regular than the one on BBC Sport. Can we look forward to streaming in a year or two perhaps?

We left the match saying what we did in July, that we need pacey wingers, a strong tackling midfielder and cover for Rickie. AP said he left Rickie on for height in the box, but he was poor today as was Jaidi and Hammond.Agree with most that Barnard was MOM. In the last 30 mins, I just could not see us getting a goal as we ran out of ideas. Oh for Papa & Antonio to come on and turn the game! I feel very grumpy tonight.

We have just got to leave AP alone. He knows what he is doing and we can have faith that he will sign the right players if he can. We must be grateful that we still do not have Uncle George, Wigley or those Dutchmen at the helm now.

Nicola is going to need all our support now. Being "in charge" can be a lonely job at the best of times, but when you lose a Mentor and friend who you have worked with, it can be devastating. We have a future with him as CEO and Markus' family with him.

Too many TSW Fan have high hopes. We will not get a player in his prime as he will not wish to sit on the bench each week and only have a bit part to play. Steve Howard would be admirable. He bullied us out of the play-offs against Derby a few years ago. Obviously past his best for the big time, but for a third division side with our purpose-ideal.

His family should choose, but whatever they decide will be acceptable to all saints Fans.

RIP Markus, our condolences to all your family. You saved this club and we will always be in your gratitude. You will go down in history.

A good person who has served his clubs well. RIP Adam.

Golly, I would not have guessed that it had deteriorated that quickly. I have not been in there since the Saints Fan who had the Scaffold business was landlord. He used to have an advertising hoarding on the Kingsland pitch side Youngs Scaffold?. It was he who renamed it "The Le Tissier Arms" I believe"

Howard bulled us up front when we played derby in the play offs when GB was manager. We should be able to get somebody like him to shadow Rickie. He would be happy to sit on the bench for most games as he is past his best for top league now. Somebody though, who may help to get us into the Championship is all that we need, not all future stars who will get itchy feet if they do not play regularly. He should be cheap and take low wages in the twilight of his career.

The ABC1's on this site just adore the Sun and believe everything it prints.

Disappointing for us despite a good first half. I bet Pardew wished he had Papa and Antonio to bring on in the seconed half. We all know we need pacy wingers , a big centre forward to cover Rickie and a hard tackling midfielder. I am sure Pardew does too but he has to be able to persuade them to come and NC to fork out the cash. Get this right and we will be unstoppable.

They have to generate enough cash flow to pay the creditors albeit 20p in £ over 4 years and continue to trade. On top of that Chanrai will need a return on his investment. If they languish at the foot of the Championship, which is likely, that "amazing" fan base will disappear and Gaydamak will still control the car park. Can still see difficulties ahead.

The Striker to be big as cover for Rickie and also require a pacey winger and then we should be complete.

and Captain too!

Surely we must all be concerned that we have not got the pace that Papa and Antonia gave us last season?
