I will take nothing other then a crushing victory. I want to cause that twitchy b*stard as much difficulty as possible.

Really looking forward to Jonno Forte's book: 'Blink and you miss me'

Just wait, anything other then a win on Saturday and it'll be exponential.

Wouldn't be all for it if it was Southampton..... Come on you Solent Saints!!! At least TNS is easier to pronounce then Llansanffraid-ym-Mechain.

Oh no! Any idea why?

I believe they are approaching the end for those now.

For anyone interested. The Maltese Half marathon was completed in 2 hours, 16 minutes. Still feeling extremely sore but pleased, not quick but the first time I had ever managed the distance, paid a bit for the weather limited training.

The equivalent of me writing something libelous in a blog and expecting Steve to take the backlash. Hmmmm, I wonder.............. P.S... Come on you franchise.....

Well well well. Skates 1-0 Franchise David Connolly.

Now that was 13 minutes well spent.

Hasn't this been televised regularly anyway?

As long as home viewers keep paying it's fine. Equally, overseas tv rights are more important then the domestic revenues. It may be bad news for bskyb but the Premier League will be fine!

I'm with you on Olives. Can't get enough of them now. Tea is another one, hated it when younger now I do enjoy a cup of black tea, no sugar.

From memory, Fitz Hall was desperately wanting to rejoin his ex Oldham boss Ian Dowie at Palace. The player engineered his move away as he would have been unhappy staying. It was a very disappointing transfer and a sign all wasn't right.

Morgan isn't getting much love there.

The poo doesn't yet your mind does and subconsciously you relax. I call it 'Cambridge Services on the A14' syndrome. Back on topic, not a slip as such.....

Either way, it puts Luggy in a more positive light then a man who has managed Spurs in the Champions' League and the current England u21 assistant manager.

It's strange how players get written off at such a young age now. The dominating Liverpool teams in the 70's and 80's would routinely give debuts to players from the lower leagues in their early 20's having given them a chance to grow and teach them how to be a part of their team first. Ben Reeves needs to be given time and further chances on loan to play first team football before we can really judge his true potential. He may not be fully grown physically yet, his body may still be adjusting and 'mapping' itself to perform. Peter Crouch needed time before he developed to his potential in his late twenties, he only started to show his true worth at the age of 23 with us. I'm willing to reserve judgement on the lad, I think you are being a bit harsh. But of course, we would both love him to succeed in Saints colours.

I'm sure I don't need to say the name of our key player that puts the whole logic of your statement into question..... I'm sure at the very least Reeves will be able to carve out a decent league career for himself.

No, it's a legitimate question asking what was it about Sturrock that allowed the players to have the honeymoon period when experienced clubman Steve Wigley and Harry 'motivated by spite at the time' Redknapp utterly failed to do so. I am not disputing that Sturrock's face obviously didn't fit but he achieved more then those two men could with essentially the same squad. As I personally have already stated, I firmly believe we would have put up a far better fight that season had he remained then had he been sacked.

Then why could they do it for him but not Wigley or Redknapp?

But not for the prior ten games. There were issues before he arrived. Why could Wigley and Redknapp not achieve the same effect?
