Can't fault their consistency. Not that it will do them much good, they are a well supported club but not do not have the sparkling appeal they believe.

Can't help but think that owners of clubs like Cardiff have seen how we (among others, Norwich and Swansea obviously also spring to mind)) have done since promotion and asked the question, why can't that be us? After a difficult decision by our chairman and after spending a high amount (but not the same volume as some) we have adjusted well to the division. Tan may see this as his 'Nigel Adkins' moment, unlike Adkins though who had finally made us look capable of Premiership survival at his point of exit right now Cardiff are in a genuine mess. That will be a difficult job for anyone bold enough to take it.

The killer for me will be when Sky Go is no longer supported on the Xbox 360. Of course the games will not go on forever, there's money to be made and an evident market for anything new and shiny, but I don't use the units solely for that. In terms of the technology and capability there simply isn't the same capability jump as there previously has been. I waited until 2009 to get a prior generation console.... now, I honestly see no point in getting one, I don't have time to play the games in any serious way anymore.

On a purely bang for buck reasoning the Xbox 360 and PS3 offer far more currently. I see no reason to buy a new console, none at all. Slightly improved graphics and physics? That's not worth the best part of half a grand.

Just why does technology like this inspire such bizarre fanboy-ism in otherwise rational adults!?

It does help when you are only playing against nine men though.

Yesss!!!! Jay!!

Are there any moments in saints' recent past that he has found particularly inspiring for his career?

2-1. Jay to score first. 42/1. No better time to play Spurs, just hope our team are fired up.

Just need a few novelty bits, main bulk of shopping is done. Presents to be wrapped over soccer Saturday this afternoon.

Wonderful news. Congratulations mate!!

Still four hours out of what should be a day with the family!

No, don't fancy a 4 hour round-trip on xmas day, cheers all the same.

The pass completion stats, looking at this it appears as though we are bang average in that respect. http://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/2/Seasons/3853/Stages/7794/TeamStatistics/England-Premier-League-2013-2014 This does ignore the number of attempted passes, etc but in isolation we do not appear to be anything special.

They clearly havn't gone, just thanks to a pressing style he isn't going to get as much space in a forward position as he did before therefore restricting his efforts to headers from crosses and supporting the more unpredictable forwards we have. He is still the best hold up player we have which testifies to his ability, movement and strength. Naturally if we have teams under the cosh half the time they will mark the living daylights out of him, they're not stupid.

Pacey, energetic and willing to single handedly have a go. He is becoming better all the time and one of the few attackers we have who can be a little unpredictable. (Ossie is the other, but he doesn't have Jay's work ethic... Although I believe Ossie has a little more flair in his locker.)

I have no problem with the principle, but it's just going to be the case of using this method for the first time and building confidence in it. There is something quite reassuring about holding a specific ticket in your hand.

That would drive me nuts too, no confidence in these things!

Wish we had taken the last round a bit more seriously. Palace beat us a few years ago then defeated Man Utd, Sunderland beat Chelsea.... It must be a great omen to get Saints in the final 16.

Sunderland struggle to sell out at the best of times. So I would expect a little of the two.

Who are the only Premier League club to see Cup Final tickets go on General Sale in the last 5 years? (No, Wigan.....)

Following on the heels of Mido, Benni McCarthy and Robbie Keane. They are at least consistent.

When the very first sentence of the article itself reads; Then no, can't share your cynicism.

As everyone got a point, then it's all kinda meaningless really. Just keeps the gaps the same but on a higher number. I would take that as a -1 point for Pap. So his total is.... -1. Also, i've miss-counted! Smirking, through what appears to be a completely unbiased and un-tampered voting process.... you have 7 points and a clear bronze medal. I shall be content with 4th. And Turkish is the LVP.... Barry Sanchez must be seething.

There is a separate poster called Bazza. So the Sanchez gets 12, on par with the registered votes for Turkish.
