On the off chance anyone is interested, here is my full round up ahead of this season: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/entry.php?62-2011-12-Championship-Season-Preview

Relax a bit, and have a bit more confidence. Things will be a lot more enjoyable that way.

He may con-fez that he could do better then us reading comments like that.

A few for me, all games i've been to. Pahars v Charlton, November 2001. My first game at St Mary's and our first win, magic. Crouch/Prutton v Liverpool. February 2005. We comprehensively destroyed the soon to be European champions. The game that sold Crouch to Benitez. Camara v Norwich, April 2005. The noise of that celebration will stay with me forever. Bale v Coventry, August 2006. Superb free kick and bragging rights over my neighbours, lovely. Stern John v Sheffield United, May 2008. Wonderful game, an absolute rollercoaster. Forte/Barnard v the Franchise. April 2011. The moment I knew automatic promotion back to the championship could happen. All v Walsall. May 2011. What a wonderful party.

On tele, people still on Holiday, money is tight right now etc. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's circa 21,000. I remember the first game of the relegation season against Blackburn, very similar circumstances and we only pulled in 27,500. It won't be a sign of things to come, it's just an awkward time of year.

I would suggest that the 'Wall of Fame' is a little more desperate. 'Own your own piece of Fratton Park.' Leave it long enough and you can own all the rubble your heart could desire, surely!

This happens a lot in Coventry. I was nearly caught out by a Taxi driver who breaked hard while pulling away from a junction for no reason. I managed to react fast enough to avoid hitting the guy but the poor woman in the antiquated Fiesta behind me had no chance, she went into the back of me but thankfully only cracked her bumper (there was no damage to my Seat, bumper technology has really come on nicely.) Despite there being no contact the Taxi driver parked up and put his hazard lights on, when he saw there was no evidence of damage and thus nothing for him to go on he went on his way. The girl in the Fiesta had been had before by a taxi driver and was livid, not angry at me at all because she was thankfully paying attention.

Can anyone remember how long it took to sort out Jaidi's work permit?

Careful chap. Be brave.

Nah, he'll be fine. He's 'suited.'

I am eagerly awaiting updates.

India all out for 158. A victory by 319 runs. Utterly superb.

'MLG Mode enabled' How about Graham Taylor's Watford at the end of the 90's?

107-7. Goodbye Tendulkar.

Ha! 55-6!!! M S Dhoni out for a duck.

55-5. Tendulkar still in but the wicketts are coming along nicely.

37-4 now. This is shaping up superbly.

3. For me. Get ourselves a good centre back and that will ensure that we are at the very least on the fringes of the top 10. My mathematic predictions however (which I posted in another thread) had us just outside the playoffs.

Yep, brilliant game. Have they sorted out the opponent AI in that version of the game yet? Have had fun with it before but was a bit hollow that it was just me vs no-one.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Anything other then a win is the end of the world. Come on guys, surely we know this by now!

Edit: misread earlier post. Well in Jonno.

Wow, just wow. And that wasn't against a Shrewsbury or Hereford. It was Blackburn Rovers!!! Pathetic support.

Yohann Foley now plays for Aberdeen.

Or maybe a sign that private enterprise should take up responsibility for the state? The ultimate validation of capitalist principles and the American dream.
