The final year of the initial three year deal. All this to look forward to again next season.

That Fox hunting chant at Leicester always struck me as a good idea, particularly for a team nicknamed the Foxes. What a strange sense of humour those midland folk have.

Sorry to hijack the thread. But i'm after 2 tickets for this one.... A business trip meant I missed the tickets going on sale, many thanks to anyone that can help.

5bn+, a rise of over 2bn. Obscene just doesn't cover it.

He's clearly busy organising transfer number two.... That was not a euphamism....

Do you see anything in Dani Osvaldo?

Meow. You are cute. Keep hiding.

Ah, focusing on semantics and trying to indulge your boredom on that basis. Consistency Turkish, it's your signature. Yes, it would be, in my opinion great for the women's team to be reintegrated into the club. For our community, all of it. My opinion is surely clear, yours will never be... regardless of your actual intention. Mission accomplished eh chap.

Good lad, enjoy.

Are you bored and searching for a new target? Bless your heart. Support is not a temporary construct, they are part of our club, fans who wish to play in our name. Therefore the support will always be there. It's archaic that they have been separate for so long.

Both, have before and will again. x

If only that were true peaches. And yes, I will support them, as I would any part of our club.

Will you get out from behind your facade and watch them too Turkish?

Great. Hope the link does happen again. Make our community club whole again.

Whatever peripheral you are using needs to be made available on the mass market.

McLaren liveries really are a waste of time. I wonder what Honda think about them carrying Mercedes colour.

Yep. Felt it. Wasn't that bad, just felt like the washing machine jumping.

C'est la vie. It's almost impossible to get attached to players in this modern time anyway.

Yeah, this. The words, while pleasing, are currently meaningless.

A mixture of peer pressure, proximity and holding onto home when I went to University. I've loved football since a young age, always looked out for results and latched onto Saints when my family moved to Colden Common. As a teenager I'm not ashamed, i'm proud to state that Margate were my main focus, I was born in Kent and following their charge from the second tier of the southern league to the conference was exhilarating, never mind the modest standing, they were brilliant between 1996-2001. I always looked out for Saints though, my local top flight side. All the kids at school did after all. An early trip to the Dell to witness a 1-1 draw with Leeds on an August bank holiday in 1995 (I think) thanks to Dad ensured they were directly on my radar even while I became wrapped up in the exploits of the "mighty" 'Gate. It really took off at University, after moving away. I had finally been able to afford to go to Saints games in sixth form, going to occasional matches just after the move to St Mary's, spurred on by Dad getting us tickets for the last ever game at the Dell v Brighton. At Uni my accent (very Winchester) and wearing of replica shirts gave me a unique place alongside the inevitable droves of plastics. It helped intensify my support for the Saints as I could follow them easily online and in games televised in the S.U. It reminded me where I was from, and of the part of the country I love. It was part of me. From then on, through good and for a time what seemed to be endless bad I could only be a Saint. The 4-0 away defeat at Hillsborough (Kelvin for England....), The play-off defeat at Derby (So much f**king rain....), observing us departing the championship with barely a whimper away to Forest while my career ensured I was in an airport departure lounge..(curses, should have been there...).... all serving as incredible counterpoint to what is happening now. The crap makes the good times better, but whatever happens, we march on. I'm now back in Hampshire and love that I can follow my team without an insane round trip. There is a lot to be said for home...... Southampton, Hampshire, where the heart is. I feel for the plastics who do not have that connection to the clubs they "choose." They don't know what they are missing!

Quite frankly I wouldn't expect anyone but the bravest of pundits to favour us finishing in the top four until it is a mathematic certainty. Even then some will await a points deduction.

So easy in hindsight. My prefered CM pairing in the championship was Morgan and Chaplow, so, y'know...... Did like Chappers.

Fingers crossed for him, understand he's had a difficult time but is nearly there. Good luck to him, alongside the other academy lads he underpins just how well our infrastructure and ethos is functioning.

Quite, wow that was a world away! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/8200493.stm Rasiak started that game too!!

He was treated appallingly, hope he bounces back from his sacking at Reading.
