Best: 1. Strachan. 8th in the prem and a cup final, says it all. 2. Nigel Adkins. Maybe a tad influence by my joy at promotion but he's produced he most consistent and determined Saints team I can remember. 3. Hoddle. Judas bastard, we hate you because we loved the football you had us playing. 4. Pardew. The JPT win and putting the foundations in place. Some wonderful performances in his reign. 5. Ball. The Matt Le Tissier at his peak memories will stay with us all forever. Worst: 1. Wigley. Utterly out of his weight division. 2. Jan Portvliet. Wigley mk. 2. Poor sod never had a chance. 3. Redknapp. Demotivated mercenary ars*hole. Destroyed any confidence our players had. 4. Branfoot. Anti football.... but he kept us up. 5. Burley. How to waste money and infuriate people.

And just how many of those are actually resourceful 'home' supporters? They struggle to get more then that for home attendances. Something doesn't add up.

Nonetheless, It's going from one less then ideal system to another. It's not true proportional representation... it's certainly not a step towards it, therefore I couldn't vote for it.

So, QPR will still be crowned as champions with the trophy on Saturday..... but will probably be denied automatic promotion..... What a calamity.

Voted No. Just can't see the point of spending a whole heap of cash moving from one already flawed system to another equally flawed one. FPTP has it's problems, but at least every vote under it has the same weight.

It has to be the 'Blue Creek' restaurant in Ghar Lapsi, Malta. Beautiful location, stunning food, immaculate service and not dreadfully expensive. All things considered it is the best restaurant i've ever had the privilage to dine at.

All home league games except for Yeovil, Charlton and Brighton. (Damn midweeks) Blackpool in the cup. Away to Walsall. So thats 21. Will be 22 including Walsall at home this Saturday.

Sorry Duncan, but that's very bad form.

It's all about 'The Eclipse' - Winchester

Got to say, if he feels that promotion is going to p*ss us off, bring it on Don Nicola.

Or even sundays?

Absolutely fantastic!!!!

Really looking forward to this. Dad got our tickets this morning.... A great excuse to not drive back to Coventry so soon!

Wear that 'Scummer' branded hat with pride mate.

We've been accepted into the new 'Premiership 2'

Because we are so 'super kewl' we have received a bye to the Premiership!?

The Eclipse, Wichester for mid-day. Train into Southampton.... Then down to the King Alfred. The match..... .... Back to Winchester, maybe a pub on the way to the station. Back to the Eclipse. A Curry at the Gurkha Chef if me and Dad can remember. Bring on the party!!!!!!

Bless them. "There's only one team in hampshire...." Just you wait you vile skate filth, we're coming.

Our kids handing them one upon their relegation may well put the record straight in some ways.

As I wait for the actual photos from Home Park to come through via official sources, does anyone have any pictures of the game today that they would be happy for me to use in my match report on the front-page? Many thanks.

Coventry away. The convenience is wonderful.

Usually two days. In the mean time Alpine, have a beer for me mate.

Bring on the party v Walsall. It's time to celebrate boys!!!!!

The key point for me is the direct comparison of our last championship team with our present league 1 team..... The players who started v Man Utd. Jan 2009, Championship; Davis, James, Perry, Lancashire, Skacel, Smith, McGoldrick, Gillett, Surman, Gobern, Paterson Feb 2011, League 1; Bialkowski, Butterfield, Fonte, Seaborne, Harding, Chamberlain, Barnard, Chaplow, Schneiderlin, Do Prado, Lambert (Lined-up to attempt a man for man comparison.) Who would we rather have now.....?

What do we reckon? Consolidation? A struggle? A play-off push? We are going back to a level where many teams from League one have made a positive impression, but equal number have struggled. 3 years into the five year plan. What do the fans expect? (Me? I want consolidation and a good cup run....... anything more will be a wonderful bonus.)
