Garth Crooks just said on final score that he liked Saints and that if they go up he thinks that they are already set up for the Premier League. That was good to hear but he said his only concern was whether Saints have the money for players. Quite surprised by this as I was under the impression that we are a team that is sound financially and 'better off' than a number of other teams. I think he is also forgetting the fact that we generate a lot of players through our youth set up.

Quite correct. However, it isn't universal news. I know every man and his dog knows what Wayne Rooney has under his fingernails, but outside of the Premier League, even the pundits haven't a thorough knowledge. Word will eventually get around to everyone.

Ha, just heard that Gosport have scored - Claridge again..!
 
Peterborough have conceded 3 goals at Watford already. Oh look who we've got at home on Tuesday! :emoticon-0116-evilg
 
Peterborough always concede goals, the thing is since Mclean and CMS left they are not scoring as many as last season.
 
Listening to BBC Tees on the radio, their commentators are a right pair of crocks. Craig Hignett has been suffering from cramp and the other one has had a nose bleed. Need to be fit to commentate. They aren't happy with Boro's play and think Southampton are running the show. Keep referring to a 2004 game when they came back to 2-2 after being 2-0 down. Clutching at straws, thankful that Guly has gone off
