Mr Saints

Great thread! A couple that stand out for me: MK Dons at home - When Barnard went through on the keeper, it felt like the whole crowd just sucked the ball into the net with pure adrenaline. A few seconds later the net rippled and the noise was incredible. Orient away - Barnard's clincher and more great scenes. Such a tense afternoon and God only knows how they didn't equalise about 3 or 4 times. Looked and sounded like 3 quarters of the crowd were Saints fans, great day out. Ipswich away - The first half was the best 45 mins of football I've seen a Saints side play live. They couldn't get near us.

I'm a big fan of Hammond but yesterday proved Morgan must play central. He's wasted on the right flank.

Lambert. Lallana has been excellent but Rickie is out talisman.

Top lad is Deano.

Agreed, makes you appreciate how superior Sky is. Also, that lanky presenter was awful.

Anyone heard how many we're likely to take?

We have money, we just don't throw it around. Fine by me.

When fit he was our best player at times last season so to write him off after 3 sub appearances is rather stupid.

Hung himself apparently. Shocking news. RIP.

"We don't get too high when we win and we don't get too down when we lose"

Dodd dispatched a couple aswell.

Agreed, it was the worst refereeing performance I've ever seen (equally bad for both sides). I recall a Jaidi header being disallowed for a push even though there wasn't a Leeds player within 10 yards from him.

Good move for them both. Suprised Dickson hasn't made a similar move yet.

Don't sing any more songs to the tune of the Lallana chant. The 60 odd we already sing is enough.

He'd be a thorne in the side of the opposition.

Rightly or wrongly, this has been the case for 4/5 years now in the Carling Cup so the fans know it will be a weakened side when they buy tickets. Nothing new.

Barnard's clincher at Orient. Fantastic scenes.

Its only October and we won't win every game. Hardly make or break, look where we were this time last season. Long way to go.

One of the stand out players so far, looks a different player from last season.

Couldn't ask for a better chairman IMO.

Fully deserved.

Considering the mess we were in when he and Markus came in, promotion to the Prem this season or next would be a great achievement.

"We'll never watch the scummers" HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Of course you won't you mongs, we'll be 3/4 leagues apart next season.

I remember him lamping someone off the ball a couple of seasons back and the referee being the only person in the ground not to see it. Good lad and good luck in Greece Wayne.

A commanding centre half would do nicely, someone like Morgan at Forest. Not convinced we need to splash out 4-6 million on a striker at this point.
