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?

which seems to indicate he will be on his way when his contract expires in August

There has been no publicity on the OS regarding number sold as was last year. I guess therefore ST sales have been rather slow thus far.

I see that Vantis have had their Share price suspended at SE due to excessive debt. They must have caugt the habit after they prepared the original Statement of Assets and Liabilities to HMRC .

He is not a young player by any stretch of the imagination although looked good on the You Tube video previously posted. I expect he was offerred 2 years subject to medical and as you say, this failed. He would probably lived up to his first namesake if we had signed him.

I had the same reply to my protest so obviously pre-prepared. If all on this site who do not agree with the decision, e-mail David Luker, the shear number might, just might, bring an about turn. If we do not try, we can never win!

Cannot see what the big deal is to sign Danns. I saw him v WBA recently and he seemed a bit light weight for our purposes. We need a Wootton Type but one who can pass and is skillfull. Danns may fullfil the last two criteria but he is certainly not the big, strong tackling midfielder we need.

Was regularly MoM or us in the Championship. He did lack a little pace and tired easily but should be able to overcome the latter with the training set up we have now. He is a classy player and without doubt, would be a very useful addition to our squad.

The deadwood have gone and we are left with Holmes, Wotton and Molyneux who have another year on their contracts. I doubt if they will play for the first team again, so they may be prepared to break their contracts if they wish to have first team football elsewhere. I doubt if anybody would pay any money for them. Pulis will be gone in August when we will not take up the option for another year. As somebody posted earlier that this is a big statement to make and obviously Pardew will only sign players who are good enough to take us into the championship and beyond. We can look forward to the transfer window with excitement now.
