Signed, best wishes from a resident of the city.

In this context you can only look back on reflect on how this was doomed from the beginning. You will never succeed in trying to keep Gaius Baltar in line!!! Geek reference. I am unrepentant.

Sadly not, but thankfully the last part of your statement tells me you are not being serious.

The class of 2014 dominating possession but not having too much space to work in while attacking. The 2003 side staying well organised and work-manly with Brett looking to create space for Beattie on the counter-attack. Fernandes looks the most lively but keeps running into dead ends as Clyne keeps him in his back pocket. The 2014 Saints eventually wear down the 2003 charges, a late consolation for Beattie after he finally gets on the end of a cross is meaningless thanks to the two goals scored midway through the second half by Adam and Rickie. I'm going 2014 2-1 2003

We could still finish 8th (especially as Newcastle have lost their best player) and the cup final is not impossible. It would be fascinating to see who would prevail in a match between the team of 2003 and our current first eleven.

Unless something massively changes I believe that the glass ceiling is very close. We can strengthen further at LB, Str and centre back but pushing up to 6th/7th place could even then still be beyond us. The worst Manchester United team of our generation is still 5 points ahead of arguably the best Saints team of the same time-frame. To break into that company is an astonishing challenge.

It would be reassuring if we won despite playing poorly.

Oh man that was painful! Only two holes......... wiped out the mascot though!

Anyone from here per-chance? No pressure on them but the last group we sent there completed the end of show kicking challenge in 30 seconds.

Chaplow I think.

Yep, would be a real Huddersfield/Marcus Stewart moment.

Great move for him, Birmingham are on the decline but a great chance for him to make a name for himself.

Playing Devil's advocate, could it not be argued that we are actually stronger as a squad without a disruptive influence? I've always rated his talent but it was clearly not working for him here, a great pity.

Another Saint in heaven. Seems to be happening all too frequently at the moment. Condolences to his family and friends.

Yep, she's not pretty! A very bulbous arse too, can't see it being too fast.

Good luck to him, thanks for playing your part in our rise Danny. Frankly, better planning would have ensured that he wouldn't have been exposed at Premier League level, he probably should have left along with Hammond and Harding back in the summer of 2012. Not signing Buttner necessitated his stay.

It won't be easy but it's high time that we finally beat them. Of all the draws I wanted in the cup another one against Sunderland was the last thing I wanted. That disappointing home loss in our first few games back at this level, the scrappy draw up at the Stadium of Light when Puncheon somehow turned the ball in despite being on his arse. Leaving Giaccherini unmarked in that early corner and then playing an under-strength side who did well but couldn't produce enough to stop the Mackems on their run to the league cup final. Then that mad game two weeks ago when we should have polished them off after one of the worst home performances by any team i've ever seen at top-flight level only for them to wake up and for us to stay in second gear. The injuries to Lovren and Gaston were just a particularly rancid cherry on that malformed cake of a game. They are becoming something of a bogey team.

1-2 Regan Cook. Well worked goal for the Addicks. Albeit one that took a slight deflection as it was crossed in for their finish. Make that 1-3. Think we're going out.

1-1. Jake Hesketh equaliser!

It is possible to find a compromise agreement, take X amount of the total amount in exchange for early release and a chance to find new employment.

Good luck to him, looked very comfortable alongside Fonte in the Championship. He'll be snapped up no problem by a league 1 side at least. Cov wanted him full time in the summer.

If we are to get a Sunday game, at least it's just after lunchtime. The late ones are a pain the backside.

The thing is, there is a certain degree of talent and latent instinct here. If management could be reduced to pure statistics and theory then the drop in performance of Manchester United under David Moyes would be easily rectified.

Who is saying evil? I said when I initially posted that i'm sure Lowe operated as he always felt befitted the clubs best interest, unfortunately it didn't work out. As the chairman at the time he is culpable for the bad things that happened and were resultant of his time in charge.
