Burnley. But can we buy a win at the moment? COYR.

More interested in Burnley game already. Having only won two from ten in the league, we just need to beg steal or borrow three points this weekend. Five nil with Lambo and Sharp scoring a couple each with a late Kelvin header when he's up for a last minute corner would be nice. But I'd settle for a scrappy one nil deflected goal off a defender's @rse to be frank. Happy to beat Millwall too of course!

Very happy to give Punch a chance but let's face it - none of us would be that surprised if he flounces off again in three weeks and refuses to sit on the bench. So I still wouldn't mind a speedy wide man. CF totally depends on how well Lee fits in - different system, difference language... could be a masterstroke sealing promotion or (at least for this season) a bit of a non-event. Still think a CB is the main priority. Long term injury to either Jos or Jose leaves us in trouble. Heard v good reports about the Birmingham lad Butland but never seen him play.

Just issued by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. Wash your mouth out son...

Tough little four game run coming up after the break. Derby away, West Ham home, Reading away, Boro at home. If we're still top after that lot I'll be well pleased. And I think we can do it.

Song for Lee Holmes? Oh Holmesy Holmesy You always used to be injured But now it seems you're not

We love you Corky we do We love you Corky we do We love you Corky we do Oh Corky we love you We hate Pompey We hate Pompey We hate Pompey You're **** aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Jack Cork Vs Luke Varney? Saints 1 Skates 0

Strangely calm and confident. Got a lot of confident in the boys. Job done today I hope, and then party time at SMS on Saturday.

One thing we now know for sure. This team has got the balls for it. Bloody good day.

Yeah I was a little shocked by the fact that we've only played 8 away out of 21... and we've lost half of them. Great win today, but really need to beat D&R away to keep things going. Time to crank it up Saints...!

Puncheon hat-trick for Millwall. Sign him up.

That's a bit harsh.

What's really encouraging is that we've won again without playing that well, and we've not really hit peak form all season - and yet we're only four points off the top two. Once we hit a purple patch I'm pretty confident we can set a pace no-one else will match.

Hopefully it will be like last year. Get shown up at Hudders while we have a relatively new manager settling in. And then we do them big style when we get them back to St Marys. But I agree with those above who say we shouldn't expect to lose to promotion rivals. That's no way to get near the top two. We should expect to win - not assume we'll win - but certainly expect it.

I think he might just play all three and bring Judy off the bench to inject some pace and unpredictability.

I hope being permanently singed doesn't affect his football ability. It's a painful condition.

Has Lloyd James scored yet?

If we lose? Adkins out.

Yup, let's hope he stays around for a long time and guides us to success. I wish him all the best. But it's obviously a bit of a gamble. He's never had to deal with the pressure of expectation before, and no-one - perhaps including himself - knows how well he'll cope with that. On the other hand he's obviously a bright articulate coach, and well-respected within the game. Good luck Nige!

What odds on a name which hasn't been mentioned here or anywhere else. Potentially quite good odds I would think...

Exactement. **** myself laughing.

Surely it's not Adkins. If someone at the club really told 5Live on Saturday that it would be a big appointment which would impress the fans... then Adkins - no offence to the guy who is clearly a very good coach - just ain't the man. Frankly, if Cortese comes out and says 'My fellow Saints, the dream continues. And as a mark of how high I'm aiming, here he is, our next manager, all the way from S****horpe Lincolnshire, iiiiiiiiiiittttt's Nigel ADKINS!!!!!!!' I will just **** myself laughing.

Martin O'Neill will not be the next Saints manager. Hope that helps.

The Liebherr Stadium. Thanks mate. And sincere condolences to all your loved ones. I hope they understand how much you meant to us.
