Ha. Bloody typical.

Don't forget the atmospheric pressure reading. Let's not cut corners now.

But it is working superbly. I doubt it'll be too difficult to tweak graffically.

Chris Coleman - 'Saints are the better team...'

Looking at about 3/4 of their squad, they would more or less walk into our team.

They're only there to see Edgar Davids.

Both Adam and Rickie have had efforts on target.

Live text commentary here... as already linked at the top of the forum. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/liveupdates/live.html

Hopefully with a f**king rocket up their ars*s.

Some interesting games. Franchise v Blackpool Hartlepool v Wigan (Must win for Martinez) Skates v Palace (With Burley staring Edgar Davids despite him having two years out of football.) West 'Am v Oxford (Ex Non-league v Top flight.... ok, barrel scrapping.)

Southampton 1 - Kelvin Davis 12 - Danny Butterfield 17 - Aaron Martin 6 - Jose Fonte 3 - Dan Harding 10 - Jason Puncheon 14 - Dean Hammond 4 - Morgan Schneiderlin 20 - Adam Lallana 7 - Rickie Lambert 9 - Lee Barnard Substitutes 24 - Bartosz Bialkowski 5 - Ryan Dickson 15 - Radhi Jaidi 16 - Paul Wotton 18 - Joseph Mills 22 - David Connolly 26 - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Bolton 1 - Adam Bogdan 18 - Samuel Ricketts 31 - Andrew O'Brien 12 - Zat Knight 25 - Marcos Alonso 20 - Robbie Blake 11 - Ricardo Gardner 16 - Mark Davies 7 - Matthew Taylor 14 - Kevin Davies 17 - Ivan Klasnic Substitutes 22 - Jussi Jaaskelainen 4 - Paul Robinson 5 - Gary Cahill 6 - Fabrice Muamba 8 - Stuart Holden 9 - Johan Elmander 10 - Martin Petrov Hmmmm, their second string looks quite strong. A big night for Aaron Martin too. COYS!!!

Perhaps showing them an example of how 'powerful' their vetting process is.

You do understand that the formalised list of venues included Bristol and Plymouth as southern options outside of London, right? We are not in it, the Skates are not in it, Reading are not in it. 'Tis done and dusted. http://www.england2018bid.com/hostcity/

This. If that is a formal list then it'll certainly come as a surprise to the people of Coventry, Plymouth, Derby and Nottingham.

May have had a party to celebrate his birthday around December last year, was a pretty sweet do. Presents, Meal etc.

Had heard somewhere (can't remember where, forgive me if it's utter balls....) that we had tried to sign him but his wage demands were arsetronomical.

Funny how I never associate us with having every played anything other then 4-4-2. Anders as the anchor in a 4-3-3? Really!?

This competition is not a priority but we need to get the team winning again for the sake of momentum. I'll let my heart rule my head here, put out our strongest team and aim to take the game to their second string. A win is a win, we need to start the habit somewhere.

Having signed no-one in August there will be a mass suicide amongst the fanbase. Attendances will plummet to 6k average. League position will no longer be relevant due to League 1 being suspended as a result of this tragedy. Saints are awarded promotion as a sympathetic gesture and the whole league renames itself as 'The Saints Trust' in honour of our martyred dead.

To be fair, he was quoting something. I doubt that was his own opinion.

Hence the gamble, yes.

You have a set budget and can either a) Spend it quickly on good options or b) Be a little more pragmatic and wait for the market to possibly trigger a load of better options. It may be a gamble.... but hardly 'b*ll*cks.'

Yes, you need to be there for 1825 Days before you can claim dual nationality. As of the start of last season he will have been in Italy for over 3200.

Surprised it's taken this long to post this..... In summary, physically and technically able and full of flair but not the best at finishing.

Mike Williamson too. Part of a 6-0 demolishion of Villa.
