Good pricing that, might head along for it.

 

Edit: no I won't, think I'm on nights

 

I'm guessing that we will sell more tickets for the FA Cup match if we get a decent result on Saturday. We are gullible enough to buy tickets based on one promising result.

 

Should be a decent ish crowd of 20kish. I expect Watford will take their 4k.

Saints beat Winchester City 3-0 to go through to the semi-final of the Southampton Cup.

 

Does anyone know the exact lyrics to the Hojgberg song? I know it roughly but think I've got it slightly wrong.

I thought by the headline that Dusan had been caught again for speeding whilst DQ, but apparently the speeding charge relates to the previous court appearance for failing to say who was driving his car during the offence. I have to say that even I (a careful non-racing driver) could be caught doing 35 in a 30 llimit. Not deliberately, but by default. I have a small car, but I would have to dangerously watch my speedo to be sure of being below 30....can imagine it being pretty hard in a high powered car. Luckily traffic keeps you below the limit in most towns. I suspect the time when powerful cars are banned or undesired is just round the corner.

 

What do people think are the chances of Brighton selling out?

Gonna be huge so might have to get along to that if there's tickets left.

 

Our goalkeeping hero of '76, Ian Turner, turns 65 today.

Happy birthday!

Apparently after the failure of the Newcastle takeover Benitez has joined MP2 as the most likely manager to be sacked. Not quite sure why Benitez odds have been slashed....is he more likely to be sacked by Ashley than by new owners? Genuine question. . We only have to look at Stoke's search for a new manager to know how hard it is.

 

Think it is more "to leave" than to be sacked. Lots of rumours that Benitez was unhappy with the lack of investment from Ashley so might be tempted to walk.

 

I’ve finished off your sentence

 

We apparently made £147m in revenue last season.. 24th in the Europe

 

No wonder we are struggling to afford to buy any new players only earning peanuts

 

Walk this way Rafa

 

He may face the same problems as at Newcastle. Trying to get the board to open the wallet!!

 

Anything has to be better than dealing with Mike Ashley though, surely?
