22 passes with lovely skill, finishing with an overhead kick from 45 yards.

Absolute screamer from Baines. 30 yard FK. Lovely.

Liverpool 2 up. Awful game between Chelsea and QPR, neither can keep the ball. Torres shocking. Think I'll switch to a different game. I've got Chelsea and Liverpool to win, and a draw in the other game.

Chelsea should be down to 10. Horrible challenge from Marin.

Cork, very closely followed by Morgan, Lambert and Fonte. Very impressed by how those 4 have stepped up, they look Premier League quality all the way.

They let me down for just over £300, the absolute thunderc*nts.

I still think we need to sign a proper keeper this month. Boruc's kicking is woeful, he can't catch, looks unfit, and has got a really strange attitude for a professional sportsman.

This.

Feck me, is that what we're charging these days?!

Most of my mates are coupled up and doing their own thing this year, so I was pleased when a mate who's just back from Dubai for a couple of weeks said he's up for doing something decent this year rather than a local pub or a house party with all the same old faces. At 25 and single, I want something more fun than that. We're after good music, plenty of drinking, and hopefully plenty of single women. Train to London tomorrow lunchtime, few beers around town, pre-party at my mate's brother's place in Bethnal Green, then off to Cafe 1001 on Brick Lane which doesn't stop till Tuesday lunchtime. I hope to get lucky and leave well before that, if not then I'll just see how long I last before getting the train back, hopefully in time to get to SMS.

Not that at all. Sh*t atmospheres, plastic fans, £50 a ticket, the ridiculous wages and transfer fees being chucked about, even by sh*t teams. It's not what it was a decade ago.

Forest away - was the first away win of the season for me after about 7 attempts. Millwall away x2. Both brilliant days out, but the league game was on a different level because of the result, and us winning £650 between 5 of us thanks to Rickie's hat trick. Promotion day, from what I can remember of it. The feeling of being back in the prem.... ...which quickly evaporated with the feeling that it's not what it used to be.

Strange post. I was pointing out to Phil that Guly is rubbish in the air in my opinion. I agree that I'd like to see it on the deck more, but saying that Rickie isn't an intelligent footballer is absolute b*llocks.

Guly really isn't good in the air. He scored a couple of decent headers, but when it comes to challenging for a high ball, he's a bottler. He sort of jumps, but never puts his head in where he might get hurt. He won't be in the XI IMO.

Love him. Absolute top bloke. Best million quid Saints have ever spent.

^^It does make you wonder if he's just been playing for a contract or a move though. It's happened before.

This. Have people forgotten how bad he was? In that run of games - Swansea, QPR, Newcastle, Norwich, we conceded 3 goals that were all his fault, and dropped 4 points because of it.

This.

Frederici having a decent game TBF. Shocking by Arsenal to give 2 away like that.

Shooting practice. C'mon Arsenal, I want double figures. Cazorla to score 9.

Get in Cazorla. Top work for the dream team cause.

Cazorla in my dream team. Lovely. I reckon 5-0, Arsenal just to ping it about and take it easy second half.

Deserves punishment for 3 counts of violent conduct IMO. 9+ games. Fair play to Shawcross for just getting on with it. *remembers to take Fellaini out of dream team*

Strange year for me, lots of highs and lows and a year I really decided to change some things I wasn't happy with. Some amazing away days. Saints promotion. New job with big pay rise. Got fit and lost a sh*tload of weight. Ended a 9 year relationship and moved out of the house we shared - whilst in the middle of a massive project at work which meant working 70 hour weeks through the whole thing. Easily the most stressful few months of my life. Made myself ill due to the above. Ibiza 2012 - by far my best trip there to date. Last few weeks - living it up like a newly single mid 20's lad should, and loving it. Confirmed job security going into the new year. 2013 is going to be a massive year, I can't wait.
