    Honestly! I expected both j and Charlie to be laid up injured for half the season, so I suppose it's a bonus so far

    Like I said, we did need another striker but then I can't remember a season starting where we didn't think that. I distinctly remember Pelle being described as "ok as a backup " but that we still needed a proven goal scorer.
    We may well have been tracking strikers but if the timing isn't right with the targets then I would rather we didn't sign an ok-ish player not on our radar. Who realistically might we have got do you think?

    I thought you were retired?

    Sounds like you've been locked in a management seminar (in a motel off the A33) for a month and are now regurgitating all the slogans they drummed into you.

    Doing more for less and doing it better was one that I always thought was hollow.

    just before Jay was injured he was called up by England - now I know England aren't Wales but they're not ****ing Gibraltar either!

    I gather from the media that Saints were at the end of a 6 weeks exclusion period. My understanding was the Chinese consortium had that period to finalise an offer or it allowed us to to talk to others? We're told no offer was given (or no deal was made).
    So do we reckon that is the end of the saga? Can we take deep breaths?
    There is a lot of tight lips down at St Mary's so am not so sure it is all over......I have nothing to substantiate that. Just feelings from my enquiries or as CBK might say ........a feeling in my water.
