Is it not possible once somebody is on your ignore list, they stop showing up altogether, even when requoted? I want to read about football and saints issues on this forum, not have to read through a whole load of posts by certain people who have the sole intention of antagonising folk!

Full Time St gallen 1 Saints 0

1st West Ham 2nd Saints No slow start this season as this preseason is gonna get the players fit rather than injured! Think West Ham will be too strong with Big Sam and his hoofball. Saints second with good style of footy. Leicester 7th with Sven quitting after Xmas claiming he didn't get the funds promised.

Great signing, for now and the future. Maybe a top notch striker and a strong, ball winning CB and we'll be unstoppable!

I think fair play to the lad. Everybody is quick enough to moan about people like Michael Owen and Wayne Bridge who take home big wages to keep the bench warm. He is probably not on as much money but will be starting every game. Some say its lacks ambition and while i do partly agree, he clearly just wants to play football every week and enjoy it. It appears we weren't in for him this window anyway so not really too bothered where he has gone.

Have sent an email to the club enquiring why they expect us, in times of recession, to spend £42 on a shirt we haven't even seen and why they have marketed it in this manner. Not holding my breath for a reply though!

When it says, "will it have stars?", I do hope that it doesn't mean those stupid little ones that are or have been on the shoulders of the latest England kits. Whatever it is, I certainly won't be buying one till I have seen it and think they are taking the pi** out of us all by expecting us to pay out forty two quid plus p&p (during hard times) without even the courtesy to show us what we will be purchasing.

Chris Marsden had a big impact on Bridgey. He allowed him to bomb on without having to worry too much about charging back. It was simple, Marsden tucked in a bit, got a ball from Bridgey and then fed it down the line to give him a one on one against their retreating full back. All the clubs he has been at since he has played behind orthodox wingers so he has been trying to push on into their target space. Good player but I think he should have moved up field like Gareth Bale as his defending was always a little suspect.

Surfing, if the waves are there, and golf if they're not. Pretty simple existence!

A vacuum fetish?

I think we will do bloody well this year. Instead of playing on cow fields we will be playing on nice footballing surfaces which is more accommodating to our passing game. I genuinely think that with a couple of top rate signings we can be pushing for automatic at best, with playoffs as fall back. We've got the momentum and with a good NA preseason we will be on fire.

I may be too optimistic but I think we can mount a decent challenge next season (with a couple of quality additions). The momentum from this season will hopefully be taken through preseason and we will start next season with the bus at full speed. I certainly can't see us finishing bottom half. Do some people find it hard to believe that good times are on the way to St Marys?

Glad to see Huddersfield are off to the final. Like to see them beat Posh in the final.

Patience is a virtue of yesteryear. Take cricket for example, the five day proper test cricket arena has been diluted down for people with poor concentration skills and patience to a 20 over slogfest. Like abandoning the football match and going straight to pens. Everybody wants everything instantly, but just like guiness, good things come to those who wait! Here comes Owen, Inzaghi, Van Nistelroy and Beckham! :-)

Certainly the best I have seen in the sticks for Saints and i started watching during the Shilton era. The amount of double saves and even triple saves he made was simply amazing. So quick back to his feet and such a good shot stopper.

Big Wes Morgan from Forest could do a job for Jaidi. Big, strong and quick. Perfect foil for Fonte.

I think this is great news for the club and can't really understand why any fans would be so negative about it. As with any football club, if the manager doesn't get results then they run the risk of getting the boot. However, the longer contract shows a committment to the fans, and more importantly the players. The playing squad clearly appreciate the way NA and AC respect them, train them and win with them. We have been craving stability for the past ten or fifteen years and finally we appear to have achieved it. Yet there are still doom merchants out there who refuse to get on the bus claiming it is gonna break down in a few miles. Just enjoy an exciting summer and stop looking for non-existant negatives.

He has just come on for Bart.

After watching Theo this afternoon I don't think AOC would have to worry about any competition as Theo was dreadful. It may just be my thinking but I find Theo quite a disappointment. He certainly hasn't progressed or improved to the same extent as Gareth Bale.

Curtis Nelson from plymouth. Cheap, in the England u18's, highly thought of, similar to Jack Stephens.
