I agree with the skate. Seen what's been going on at your school Milts? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-20945564

Then I hope NA picks a strong starting 11. Chelsea will be smarting after losing at home to lowly local rivals and looking for a backlash. We don't need a moral-bashing heavy home defeat. As other have said, resting players probably wouldn't have the desired effect as the recent 2 week break proved. The only change I'd make is Rodrigues in for Lambert (on the bench) and give him the opportunity to show he's a viable option. And a 30,000 crowd doesn't deserve a 'reserve' side either.

Over on the UI Nick Illingsworth is saying the head count was only 254? So when yer average skate looks like this, I make the real total blue-few around 127. Dilemma...is he hero or villain? Secret agent or skate b'stard? Cheer or boo when he comes to SMS with 'onest 'arry in March?

I would think many may have worked it out by now, his age, associations with JD...but as it's 'manji' that has broken the silence it shouldn't be too hard for others to work out who is suggested.

OK, best ignore that then...don't know where he got his info from http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/southampton/fb_mb.php?m=v&t=70434#0

Saying on TUI that all Saints tickets now sold out so neutral zone only if you're still looking for a seat.

Tbf it's a little known fact that Toothpaste was invented down there on portsea island. If it had been invented in Southampton it would have been called Teethpaste.

1,700 according to this one... http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=749225 ...and just a few hundred remaining our end.

...and is it really a year since the last time? Wishing all skates a very...

No doubt about that, and it looks like they're about to get bought out by some Middle-Eastern consortium so will probably soon be back to being a force - but don't get away from the fact that, despite their size and stature, they still capable of getting some pretty big dips in attendances.

Villa are pretty good example, Sheff Wed when they were in the Premier League could fill Hillsboro' (40-odd thousand) for the big ones but half their games would have been under 20K. Leeds would be interesting, if they were up right now I think their gates would be up and down too. Of course they're bigger clubs than us but their lowest gates wouldn't be much different to ours and Wed's case probably considerably worse.

Of course he did mean 'Andy from Buckland', spelling's not that strong on the island. 14 on the bus..."bestest" "passion" "massive"

It is. I'm no good at this sarcastic thing.

...and...for Reading *sarcy-thingy* a couple of thousand travelling aint a bad turnout really for a game 40ish miles away when you consider their 2 nearer games this season and last (Watford and QPR - 35ish miles) saw them only take around 800.

Tbf the bloke's asked a specific question. It's a max of 3,200 for league matches, 4,200 for cup matches. The most ANY club has bought to SMS is 4,200 (in the cup).

My favourite trip to Anfield. Relived on The Big Match the following day.

I'm in.

When you put your location as 'Lyndhurst' I just assumed you meany Lyndhurst Junior School in p*rtsmuff? My apologies. But you're such a scary little skate scamp I couldn't possibly say it to your face. Bless.

Is that because he's from your neck of the woods? I think most of us already do, particularly of a certain age. And big respect for once he retired and ran his cafe down on the island he had Saints memorabilia adorning the walls. Respect.

That little skate on his dad's shoulder is thinking..."why's he doin' that to his sister...I wish I had a sister..."

Still buzzing. Just enjoyed MOTD2 but...which one of you was wearing the jazzy wig when Ramirez celebrated his goal? Fantastic all-round performance for second game running, we're making a habit of this!

Here's another one he can keep his eye on... http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/14897-Portsmouth-what-on-earth/page104 111 page thread about the cheating skates...and they didn't like that late equaliser by a player "they can't afford"...

'We are so proud of our club and each other' I don't know...it just sounds so murky when they talk about themselves like that...kinda incestuous. Eew.
