nail on the head

At last a thread I can read all the way through without wanting to strangle someone. More like this and I might pay my fiver. Keep it going.

This will my first game of the season,so relax ,we will win.

Just watched some of motd 3 on the I player.they were talking about possible transfers before the deadline. When they came to Ramirez ,Lawrenson just said "There is no way he will sign for Southampton". Please ,please ,please let him sign .

Manchester City won 18 and drew one of their 19 home Premier League games last season and I expect them to get off to a winning start here too. But I don't expect them to manage a repeat of that amazing home record because it will be a lot more difficult for them, whoever they play. I know from my time at Liverpool that everyone wants to beat you when you are champions. They are still going to score a lot of goals and win a lot of games - their only worry this year is whether Manchester United will be better than them, but that is a big worry. Southampton, in contrast, will be in a survival battle from the off and their biggest problem will be where their goals are going to come from. It will come down to the half-chances. They are a bottom eight club and, for the clubs down there, someone who can convert those half-chances is worth their weight in gold. Everyone keeps telling me Saints striker Rickie Lambert will score in the Premier League but they need him to weigh in the sort of goal tally Grant Holt managed for Norwich last season. Saints boss Nigel Adkins is a shrewd guy and they will play some good attacking football but they need someone who can get 15 goals and, at the moment, I don't think they have one. Prediction: 2-0 From Mark Lawrenson on BBC website

Must be the construction industry mentality because I can see exactly where SSA is coming from.

Dont do that Turkish, I dont post often but I am usually lurking and you do make me laugh.

Happy Birthday big fella. Remember my best mates older brother being very pleased with himself because he had a "Ron Davies " haircut.

I have really enjoyed reading your blogs . looking forward to next seasons instalments

Is someone watching twitter for early team news. I can't work out how to do it on this stupid phone

We just need to match WHAM results in 4 of our last 6matches and we are promoted. So lets start tomorrow.

good news,it puts other football matters into perspective when these things happen.

when they came to sms I thought they were one of the best teams I had seen this season. Maybe they have gone of the boil a bit.

See ! told you http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?35958-where-is-the-Watford-build-up-thread.

Dont think i am important enough to start a match build up thread

Most disappointed that no one has started one yet.

I believe he is injured.

Just looked at WHAM's next 3 games Blackpool (a) Crystal Palace (h) Cardiff (a) even that home game is no banker . I think we can go back to the top and stay there now.

Looking forward to tuesday now. Really wish I was going

I think the people knocking Lee need to watch him a bit closer. He made some very good runs of off the ball but was not spotted by the player in possession,when we get into the final third he is always looking for the run in behind the defenders ,if we can hit him early enough,before he has to check back,I think he will become a real asset.Possibly will need a couple of months to fully acclimatize but I can see him being a very useful impact player for the rest of the season.

I am becoming a bit concerned about Southampton Football Clubs links to organised crime. First we have Don Nicola Cortese then take a look at the pictures on OS of Tadanari Lee especially picture 5. He looks more like a Yakuza hitman than a Yakuza hitman does.
