This Charming Man

What we did to our Echo is no different to what Mitchell has done down there.

I wouldn't say that. Look what mid-table Bilbao did to Man Utd over two legs.

Wind up?

That'll teach me to try and be cheap and clever by entering Vietnam through a little known border crossing from Cambodia. An experience none the less... Oh and if you're heading to Thailand and want beaches and monkeys, then head to Monkey Beach on Ko Phi Phi, does what it says on the tin...

I can see it now; We're going to need to win on the last day of the season, everyone will carry on as if victory is a given and we'll go and lose, thus dropping out of the top 2 for the one and only time this season.

There were chants of "We want Di Canio" after Boro levelled last night. I reckon he'll be going there in the summer, no matter what happens. The way Fat Sam has spoken gives the impression that he's there to get them up and that's that.

Whilst winning a World Cup would certainly help his claim to being the best player of all time, you get so many average sides in it these days that the teams in the latter stages of the Champions League are probably stronger than most of them and he's certainly done the business in that tournament. Pele and Maradona were just before my time so can't really comment on them but Messi is by a country mile the best player I've seen in my lifetime.

Hence why I said "top quality". Ask a full back if they'd rather defend against Beckham or Bale. Look at Arsenal when they play with both Walcott and AOC, defences are terrified of them. Same goes for Spurs with Lennon and Bale. Pace is a key attribute to any side and something we will desperately need if we do get promoted as it's not going to be that easy to pass our way through Premiership defences. Even the mighty Arsenal have struggled in recent years for their refusal to adapt to a different style. It's only recently that Wenger has started to play Walcott more and AOC and adapt their style of play. It's no coincedence their form has started to improve because of it.

I was stood on the Sudtribune last weekend at Dortmund with 25,000 others and it was a truly amazing experience. It saddens me that the best terrace this country has to offer is a few thousand capacity one at Peterborough.

IMO the plan is for him to be a back up striker for us if we were to make the Premiership. Then get in a top quality, pacey striker to partner Lambert.

Won't even sell out. Think we can have around 4,500 tickets thanks to the terrace.

Why is everyone writing off WHU? WHU and Reading will go up automatically. Having been in the top 2 all season, we'll drop out on the last day after a shock draw against Coventry.

That's why they will never join. No way in a million years would top Premier League clubs vote in two of the biggest clubs in the world into their league to steal their revenue and challenge them for Champions League places.

Brilliant. What's 'Go away you weirdos, you're not welcome' in Japanese?

I'll worry about that if we get promoted. I've got enough on my hands with these pesky Japanese at the moment.

Please, it's far too early in proceedings to start touting me for any kind of awards. Just thank me when I've cleansed Southampton FC of Japanses bandwagon jumpers.

Well I've only just started but hopefully before long, all Japanese people will be banned from buying tickets for any Saints game unless they can prove they supported Saints before Lee arrived and promise not to make any placards.

If anything SWT are saving you money. That 30/40mins you lose in the boozer, you spend drinking cheap cans from the offie on the rattler.

My favourite parts of your ramblings are the spectacular generalizations. Keep up the good work.

I hope someone told them they're not welcome?

But they hate the English. Surely they'd want to go back to their 'roots' and try and join the Irish league?

Millwall crack me up. The one club where happy clappy, scarfer saps are in the minority.

I really, really can't see us taking 4/5,000 odd to Boro. We barely sold our ticket allocation for the Play Off Semi at Derby.

I've always wanted to see Tiesto, so I'll be seeing him. Would like to see Sander Van Doorn as well.

The fish ones are seriously ghey. HTH.
