I admire your confidence and I firmly believe we 'should' smash the Skates. However, I know derbies are tricky. I went to the Palace League Cup game and they are a capable side. I'd like to think a win against the Skates will see us confident going into Monday. I have slight concerns that failing to get a win against the Skates will leave us feeling a bit too pressured for Monday's game. I think it's interesting that some people seemed to be saying we had an 'easy' run in a couple of months back, but it doesn't look that easy right now! I want us to do it, I think we should do it, but I have some worries that it might all go wrong. Still, it's gonna be bloody exciting. I'll be at all the games except Boro so I hope I get to actually witness the bloody moment we do clinch it!

I didn't say we're going to lose them all, I said there's a fair chance we could fail to win any of the next three. I think we have a particularly tricky set of three fixtures coming up.

Must say though ... targeting 4 wins from these last six games still makes me nervous. Without doing an Alpine, there's a fair chance we could fail to win any of the next three, or the fourth, or the fifth etc...

yes, which is why we need to target 12

massive game. a win and our season is back on track. Anything less and we're in the middle of a late 'wobble'.

and we would only have needed 9 more points from 6 games to guarantee 2nd spot if we'd won last night. boooooo

it was right last weekend when they printed but of course it's now out of date, hence why i deleted it. Current max points are West Ham 90 Reading 94 – if beat saints saints 93 – if lose to Reading ... which I interpret to mean that we need to keep and eye on west ham and target matching their max points to guarantee promotion as a worst case scenario. That means 90 points is our target which I make another 12 points to guarantee second place.

blah. changed my mind

can not wait

We have our own museum on the verge of opening in case you missed it.

Spot on mate. It's all very predictable isn't it?

There's a really funny joke lurking here somewhere on the theme of reincarnation.

Do some work.

Are you saying disabled people are 'strange'? I remember watching a severely mentally disabled guy snubbing Fonte last year as Fonte automatically assumed this guy wanted his autograph. Fonte goes to grab the bloke's autograph pad and the bloke pulls it away, saying "No thanks. I don't want yours Jose." I lol'd.

I'm not saying there's an awful lot 'to do' by any means. I just think that people claim we need an ice rink in Southampton almost as if it's some sort of tradition; as if there's still a bit of lingering anger about the way the first one was got rid of. I never really got the impression that there are an awful lot of ice rinks in the UK, or that the ones which do exist are raking in the money. I just think people don't really do ice skating any more. As to whether they'd do it if somebody built one in Southampton ... I reckon it's highly likely we'll never find out!

Can't do 'buy to let' 100% mortgage now as far as I know.

Simple solution. Don't let people out until the final whistle. Done.

Everyone keeps saying we should have an ice rink as if it's the answer to some eternal problem, but I really think that ship has sailed. Just because something was popular twenty years go, really doesn't mean it would be a money spinner nowadays.

Hasn't looked very good recently in my opinion; he was better when he had his two consecutive home starts early in the season. HIs passing was 'mixed' today and his ball control wasn't great either. Shame as I really rated him when he came in, so I hope he can improve.

shouldn't need to do anything with dns settings.

Quite. I cringed when reading that set of emails.

weird

This is brilliant news. It means that more fans will get to watch what is a very important game.

Anyone know if there are any streams of the Reading game?

They weren't actually black.
