Cracking day again. I thought Palace started brighter than us but we settled into the game. Fox MOTM, was absolutely immense today and kept their 'best' player in his pocket, who was obviously really p*ssed off about it. I thought Corky and Deano bossed the midfield and were top notch, and Lambo is a class above in this league. Great turnout in terms of numbers. We were loud but not as loud as we could/should have been. No denying we were right behind them all day. Got into a 'closed' pub after the game to watch Fat Sam pull his hair out, had a load more beers and a curry on the way home and went to bed feeling we're not too far away. Hoping for a Brighton win today.

1984 was just before my time too. It's just hit me again how disappointed I am that we didn't win there in December. We may not have another chance. Just imagine if Rickie's volley in injury time had flown in. I've been quite calm about Saturday until watching all these videos, I'm not now. I hope we f*cking humiliate the DFCSBs.

Just a cool £111 spent on Boro tickets today. Just need to book hotels now. All this a few days before 3 games in 7 days, a week off work, 2 weddings, and plenty of p*ss ups. Saints are going to bankrupt me.

Because you need a few fit strikers for a promotion run-in? Yep, that makes sense. Next...

You don't need TV to know that we're unbeaten in 12, and out of the last 8 we've won 7, drawn 1, scored 18 and conceded 3. And kept 6 clean sheets. No, we will not get battered up there, and there is more than a bit of cause for optimism, FFS.

We're going to walk this league.

They haven't got enough to match us. We're too good at the back, and too good going forward. We will win this fairly comfortably

Sheffield Wednesday away

I fecking hope not. Working nights in Devon so no chance of getting to Posh. I think they'll save it for Middlesbrough, and set up a huge southern invasion of the North East.

Up - Saints, West Ham (grudgingly, at least they're a proper club), and Leeds through the playoffs (same reason as WHU). Down - QPR (example of how not to run a club), Wigan (northern rugby town, sh*t support), then a toss up between Bolton & Wolves. Bolton probably, there are too many Scottish managers in the prem, and theyre more northern. I think it'd be nice to see some of the old 'big' clubs back up there. The likes of Wigan, QPR, Reading, Burnley, Blackpool, and especially Portsmouth, can f*ck off

We'll be on one of them. It's not going to be too bad. Grab a few beers for the train and hopefully be celebrating anyway. Hour and a half goes quick enough when on the p*ss.

Up the Posh

I can't be arsed to check, but I can't think of one since Leeds on the opening day

Shaky, but has still only conceded 3 goals in the last 8 games, with 6 clean sheets. We'll beat this lot by 2 goals. I'm going for the old favourite, Blackpool 1-3 Saints.

Grumble. I'm sure it was much quicker than 1hr 34m to get back to Newcastle last time I was up there. Ballache. We've got mates in Newcastle which was swaying us to head there back there. Probably still do it, just a pain in the arse.

Any particular reason why? It's Blackpool FFS, not Barcelona.

Probably have a couple around Boro then back to Newcastle on the train. Way we saw it, if you're gonna drive 300+ miles, you might as well go a little bit further to go on the p*ss in a city that's actually worth visiting.

11/8 is very decent considering the form tables

He's actually more clever than you're giving him credit for. He noticed that Brighton's fan's hate for us is decreasing, and they've even stopped singing songs about us, so he thought he'd Stoke the fire a bit. He's a cheeky chap.

Especially considering we're cantering along at 2.75 points per game over the last 8 games....

I think we'll put in a good performance and win. Ruthless attack vs a leaky defence. We're in top form and have defended well, apart from the Millwall game, and have always carried a threat going forward. Last 8 form: Saints - Won 7, drawn 1, lost 0, scored 18, conceded 3. B'pool - Won 2, drawn 2, lost 4, scored 14, conceded 18. I reckon Ollie is dreading it.

Saints 92 Reading 88 WHU 87 Birmingham 73 Brighton 72 Middlesbrough 72

They can, but someone who leaves on 80 minutes when 'supporting' a team that is on the verge of promotion to the Premier League is an absolute c*nt, IMO

It's ****ing pathetic that 5k(ish) fans were leaving with 5-10 mins to go. The team deserved applause on leaving the pitch, and clearly appreciated the few that stayed. Seems that too many JCL c*nts turn up and expect a good result as part of their £24 ticket fee. We'll always have a core of 20000, and the rest are plastic c*nts who will probably give the big one to the skates when we bash them 5-0.
