Great article. Definitely chimes with some of things I have heard...

Fine with me, traditional and non fussy. Thank goodness we now have a board focussed on our own culture and tradition rather someone elses. COYS.

Love the guy. Have a feeling he may replace another ex-Saints manager Nigel when he finally goes. I hope for his sake he does - think Leicester would be a good fit for him. A 'real club' (as opposed to plastic Reading), and a bit of money behind them.

Biruc wouldn't be in goal - he has found his right level in the Championship. A total liability in the PL.

3-5-2 and #TotalFootball here we come... Forster Fonte - Alderweirald - Gardos Clyne - Schneiderlin - Wanyama - Ward-Prowse - Bertrand Tadic - Pelle Subs: Davis/Boruc, Davis, Cork, Long, Mane + 2 kids (With J-Rod to come back and displace whoever).

Thought Pelle's attitude was excellent tonight. Never stopped working, never let his head drop despite things not always going his way, never stopped asking for the ball, and got into some great positions. Fans really got behind him too and he said afterwards how much it helped him (see what happens when you encourage a player?). Clearly grew in confidence and hugely deserved his goal. Hopefully the first of many.

Christ, that is all we need. Really thought Morgan was the one we could keep and build a team around. If guess if he foes go we have Vic, Corky and JWP to compete for his place. Don't we?

Great stuff! Saints are back! Not massively keen on the diagonal watermark on the stripes, but I am seriously quibbling with that. Very happy - a masterpiece compared to the last two seasons monstrosities. Red & white stripes, black shorts - so easy to get right. COYS!!!

But he's a good sport about it...! http://vod.com.ng/en/video/eaRxIf4o4jU/Phoenix-from-the-Flames-Ronald-Koeman

Ginger Saints managers - Alan Ball, Gordon Strachan - good times beckon! (okay, and Dave Merrington, but hey he kept us up!).

The future is bright, the future is orange. Hup Saints hup!

Get in!!!

It is??

Excellent article challenging some of the misogyny going on in the press (and on here!)... http://www.football365.com/mediawatch/9118412/The-Page-That-Is-Sexified-And-Ancient?utm_source=twitterfeed_Mediawatch&utm_medium=twitter

Mark Palios?

Maybe we should lay off of the personal insults towards the person who owns our club and has the future of it in her hands? Just a thought...

This is the day - The The

A bit like NC I suspect...

Life will go on, even if MP leaves. He may however realise he is still onto a good thing (once he gets over the shock of NC's departure).

Well said Steve. NO ONE is bigger than the club. Not Cortese, not Lowe, not McMenemy, not even dear old Ted. SMS will still be standing tomorrow morning. Players will still be training tomorrow. We will get a new CEO. Maybe we'll have new owners at some point soon. Possibly a new manager. But what we can be sure of is that 11 players will take the field and give their all for SFC for the rest of the season, and that the ground will be full of passionate fans cheering them on. That will never change. And who knows, the team may even be wearing red & white striped shirts and black shorts next season... ;-)

Can only believe that KL has a buyer lined up. Let's hope so. And then let's hope that they can persuade MP to stay... otherwise there may be a horrible domino effect here.

Will add a further plug for this book - quite simply superb, certainly the best, most comprehensive guide to Saints past and present (not just because it's the most recent!). Like others have commented, I was staggered by how many players from the recent past I had totally forgotten! If you haven't already bought a copy you must. You will not regret it. It's a snip for the enjoyment you'll get from it. Well done Duncan, David and Gary - an amazing achievement.
