Quite. I was amazed (and mightily relieved) that Pool took so few shots from distance at a keeper whose confidence was clearly shot to bits. If Bart's in goal, the Skates might not be so reticent.

Depends if you missed any home games during the run of wins last season

Yes of course we hope he gets the chance -- but remember that interview comes from the matchday programme which probably went to press some time ago

I suspect he will start with Barnard - and leave Guly on the bench, along with De Ridder.

Guly's body language is better here: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2534293,00.html

Hmmm, I wonder whether Claridge will be the pundit again, like last time we were on (West Ham game). He wasn't too bad then...

He's like Killer in that he has goals in him, as we've already seen twice

so we're still top. Would never have predicted it at 7.45 tonight

and at Derby. Brilliant

Agree except for the last one. Ipswich has really perked up since we thrashed them, and I fancy a draw at Upton Park.

Morgan le Schneiderlin

The best chance of a win would actually be Burnley at St Mary's They'll be utterly demoralised by our win at their place this Saturday and by late October they'll be in the relegation places

On the contrary he still loves us and will be eternally grateful to Saints, according to this http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/oxlade-chamberlain-i-owe-saints-everything

@joshooiveld20 and @Rchap04 seem the most active ones. And @stief87 if you read Dutch...

How many Saints players are regular tweeters? Know about Jos @joshooiveld20 and Richard @Rchap04.

Definitely time for our OS to put out at least a short holding statement of sympathy. Best wishes to Dan

I'll never forget Lawrie Mac's courtesy and friendliness when I met him by chance in Cardiff in autumn '75. He seemed to have so much time to chat to a star-struck student (as I then was)...

As I said before it's not a public statement but a non-for-publication alert to picture and sports editors that went out at 10.53 this morning. I really can't say any more...

no, because it's not on their public site. It's a not-for-publication memo to picture and sports editors

correct

From the Press Association: We will not be staffing for pictures the FA Cup game on Saturday between Southampton and Portsmouth after the home club required us to agree not to supply any photographs from the fixture to the Southern Daily Echo. Press Association considers such a restriction unacceptable. so the feud continues... forget the rights and wrongs, it's absurd at a time like this...

No they're 13/8 and we're 2/1 on Betfair. So they're favourites but only just.

Brilliant. Their last ever game really could be a defeat by us...

That's not bad - it's a sensible insurance policy. In fact I've done the same myself. Though I'm not sure I can bring myself to insure against derby disaster by betting on Pompey for Sat...
