I noticed more disabled people in the front row when I was lower down, which I hadn't really noticed before - felt sorry for their poor view. Do we not use the 'cut out' bits of the stadium anymore? I'm not sure what else to call them, but halfway up the stands, the red boxes if you like? Or are they more expensive?

Opposite to you, I was pretty near the front, in the Chapel corner - which was a dreadful view in terms of being able to see clear tactics, I've never sat that low down before in the corner but thought I'd give it a go, never again!

Just the 3 for me as well; FA Cup 2003 JPT Last night I could have gone to the ZDS, but still, that's a shocking return really!

A good article that, well done Ben Fisher!

That site smacks of posters who never go to Arsenal matches ...

jesus christ.

Yawn.

Apparently it was 2015!?

When you consider that it is a short career - THAT is where testimonials come in.

Here's the answer (much lower than I thought in all honesty); Last season, average basic pay in the Championship was £324,250 per player per year, before appearance money and bonuses, while it was £69,500 in League One and £40,350 in League Two. In the Premier League, first-team average salaries were around £1.7million last season, rising above £2m with 'routine' bonuses

All sounds like a sensible plan to me. I think we'll all take the 'best of the rest' as being a sensible & realistic target - but a cup final will be nice! Actually, a win as I'm sure it'll be more likely we'll get back into Europe that way than finishing 7th (best of the rest position)?

Hearing rumours that Shance has deleted his Saintsweb account!!

Exactly this. I supported him, but he has to go if this is true, which I believe as I know VFTT wouldn't post this without a decent source. I also suspect the players who have been the most sh*t (Fonte, Forster, Long, Bertrand, in that order) are probably the main ones behind this.

Must admit, he's (Black) the one new addition that I've had iffy feelings about.

I voted in, but actually I want to vote 'undecided'. I'm genuinely unsure. We have played some lovely football, but that's been outweighed by the boring and very bad football. We're 10th and in the semi final of the league cup, but we're out of the Europa when we should have got through that group. We're playing more younger players, but the older pros don't seem to be pulling their weight or gelling at the moment. We got a very well respected manager, when we could have had de Boer who was a disaster at Inter. So I'm undecided, but I think things will pick up. We're Saints, when haven't we been sh*t at Christmas?

I wish people weren't so stupid and believed all the crap they read on the internet/social media without checking facts first, or even the spelling of who is posting ... FFS.

100% agree with this.

This, would love to have him back here, but we can't afford him.

I might watch Spurs vs Villa ... that could be interesting if Pochettino rests his key players as usual for the cups.

Imagine having both - incredible combination!

WTF?

This.

Well, it works. It's a 'Manchester' song with a Pompey reference. Perfect.

I think someone stole our Shane Long from last season and replaced him with the West Brom version ...

It's not a derby. They think it IS a derby. They'll be up for it. We'll lose, but it'll probably be a boring 1-0. We'll be slow and ponderous. The squad will be rotated with 23 new players. The trains are f**ked that day. I think that covers it from a Saintsweb perspective??
