What Saints don't want ta doo..... Yep, cheers Dave.

Rickie on for Jonno Quick.

Y Viva Lallana!!!

Lambert for Forte, Lallana for Reeves and Fonte for Martin please Nige. Yes, I really want us to get to the next round.....

We're trying to respond, De Ridder and Holmes taking it to them.

Damnit damnit damnit. COYR's!!!!!!!!! At least the bench is strong!

How do you scroe a gaol? Surely that would just result in a longer sentance.

Ahhhh, the rousing sound of the Skids to bring on the second half.

He wasn't bad, we had worse in the team at the time.

Any idea when the draw for the next round would be?

Absolutely, as clear as day.

Ha, even Svensson looked a bit off in his first few games. It's good to see him growing into the role, heaven knows we need it right now with Seaborne out.

Reeves again, sounding very lively. And Hooiveld looking to make a further mark...... maybe a bit of a confidence player who just couldn't flourish at Celtic? Needed a bit of Adkins style TLC.

Superb. 1-0 up, and Reeves almost makes it 2!

De Ridder turns into trouble - Spurned a chance there. Two unmarked in front of goal if he could have found them.

COYR's That is all for now.

Wash the kit? You mean that Saintsweb has a kit? I may be available... but honestly, you should only field me as a last resort, I'm genuinely sh!te!!

Frankly, I don't see there being a defined peak. We will I believe have a period of inclement form at some point this season and that will be the acid test of our current team and infrastructure. I wouldn't see it being the start of a decline though, at worst a plateau. We may end up yo-yoing over the next few years if promotion happens and providing the club remains stable we will keep progressing.

Slight deflection I believe. Free kicks from that distance can be a lottery at times.

I would say at the end of January. At that point if we have: 1) Been playing consistently well and be in a play-off/automatic position 2) Kept the bulk of squad together through the transfer window 3) Strengthened in the transfer window Then I will believe we have a chance.

Really? Oh great, I promised the yellow kit to my three year old step daughter.

I can't disagree with that and I would go along with the logic you are suggesting, although retraining doesn't mean shaking off your record. What is the point of a record if it is not a trace of behaviour? If all crimes are repent after the punishment is served why keep a record? You missbehave you pay the consequence, the industry should be a secondary issue.... so yes, let the cleaner reflect. And the morally bankrupt clubs, that's were we come in.... and they do have a lot to answer for.

My team: ------------------ Bart -------------------- Butters ---- Martin --- Hooiveld ---- Harding De Ridder -- Morgan -- Chaplow ----- Isgrove ---------- Lambert ---- Forte -------------- Yes, I would start Isgrove, I rate him that highly.

Then I will maintain my viewpoint. I respect you said that you agree with the moral standpoint, but I do not see how that equates to your thought of it being a deprivation of rights that someone is deprived of fulfilling their talent when that is evidently something that occurs in most industries where a criminal record is concerned. If more people protested at individuals like King getting a contract after prison release then maybe there would be hope.... alas I remember the Cov fans celebrating the coup..... they reaped what they sowed.
