    Just an update regarding Jay Rod.
    Whilst stood by the reception desk waiting to go into the gym this morning at 5.45am, my mate mentioned had we signed Jay Rod yet and without any prompting the girl behind the reception said "did you say Jay Rodriguez", I said yes and she replied (without knowing I am a saints fan) " he's off to Southampton. Turns out she is best mates with him having known him since they were kids, she then went on to say that he is on holiday at the moment and will be joining when he comes back, we will se how that pans out then.COYR”
    Coming from you, Glenn, (as opposed to a WUM, that is), I'd say that that IS news.

    And good news all round at that. Good news for Saints, good news for Jay Rod, good news for you because you'll have a decent chat-up line every time you go to the gym and good news for the receptionist who'll now become a Saints fan just as we're on th crest of world domination.

    I'm just a little worried that any sane person would go to the gym at 5.45am. In fact, come to think of it, I've yet to meet any sane person who goes to the gym at all.
    My uncle Tian started walking 5 miles a day when he was 60. He's 93 today but we've no idea where he is.
    as my old mum used to say he will come home when he's hungry
    I've dug out my calculator, done some sums, factored in leap years, allowed for a few days off and, having worked everything out, I am 100% certain that his exact location depends entirely on whether he headed north, south, east or west.

    Have you tried the attic?
    Nah - the attic's absolutely full of all the stuff we wouldn't have kept if we didn't have an attic.
    In that case, have you looked under the patio? I don't like to spread rumours, but I heard that your Aunt Elpeth was a bit of a psycho!
    .bit harsh strasbourg saint. strange how the non signing of upson has revealed a murder.
    WISH THE EURO'S WOULD HURRY UP GETTING QUITE BORED NOW ."

No sign of interest in Upson

Matthew Upson Matthew Upson

Saints’ reported approach for former England centre half Matthew Upson is apparently simple rumour.

The Daily Echo understands that, contrary to reports in national newspapers, Saints have not contacted Stoke City regarding the 33-year-old defender, who has an estimated value of £500,000.

There has been widespread speculation that Saints will attempt to sign a new central defender this summer with Radhi Jaidi having retired leaving Jose Fonte, Jos Hooiveld, Aaron Martin and the recovering Dan Seaborne as options in that area.

None of those four have played in the Premier League and Saints are keen to recruit some greater top flight experience into their squad.

Upson certainly fits that bill having spent virtually an entire career amongst English football’s elite, having won 21 caps for his country and played in a World Cup. However, it is understood that no move has been made for Upson and that it is currently thought unlikely that any will be forthcoming.
