Predict 3 - 3 draw

No Clyne, Lovren or Wanyama from what was clearly our best team of the season so far.

Robbo bought the land Unconditionally from the receivers, i.e. he owns it outright. He now has a STP deal with Tesco, the application should get approved as PCC want the site to be redeveloped and this is their best bet, despite the area policy asking for a development that includes/is complementary to the football ground, or a least the use of that site for sporting/leisure purposes. What has differed from before is the servicing arrangements for the store, Robbo didn't do a deal with the owners of the B&Q estate opposite, as they have retained a ransom strip off the eastern stub of the roundabout (bottom left corner of the plan). The car park to the north of the stadium is nothing more than a sop to policy. The skates will get nothing directly from this deal; it will only arrive indirectly from Robbo if he makes any/enough profit from his deal with Tesco and he wants to pour money down the fat filled drains.

Christ, cannot believe how few have bothered to post on this just out of spite because he missed one chance. How shallow some people are. One of the most honest down to earth guys we have had the honour to have at our club and thats how he gets treated? Many more goals and birthdays Mr lambert.

Cant see Lovren being back yet, so same team as Hull. Will be hard game though, Wet Sham on a good run and need the points more than we do. A draw at best.

Boruc was ill; Fonte injured (see his leg?); Morgan everyone said was knackered at Hull, also Cork; Wanyama and JWP have been 1st team regulars; the only weak point was Guly for Jay Rod. I am bitterly disappointed but I do not buy this weak team we don't care bull****, we had 3 really good chances just didn't take them. Thats football!

Nearly felt sick, what a pair of nutters!! No harnesses, incredible. I have stayed at the Jin Mao tower hotel, the bar at the top is called Cloud 9, that feels high enough! do these guys get paid/sponsored to do these climbs?

Why does this sort of unusual random thing seem to happen to us???

One slipped through the net, bet we end up buying him back in a couple of years.

Just get Puncheon and Mayuka back, simples.

Shame! He always did OK for us, get a Championship side mate, do not become a skate!

Oops sorry forgot Chelski was Jan Ist…never mind; and I had not realised that we have 4 away games in February, a tough month coming up, only one at home. Any news on Rickie's hamstring? Will be crucial to have him tomorrow, Jay Rod always looks lost without him as does Adam

How come the 'attractive young ladies' in the boardroom never saw the light of day? And where are they now?? Love the *****ing going on, so squalid...

Can we go January unbeaten? been good so far, excellent start to 2014 - on the pitch that is! Roll on February to get even better, and a non blind referee at Sunderland next time around.

Jay Rod more effective out wide? Should have had a hat trick at Sunderland last week and two more yesterday, if only he would shoot with his left foot!!

Davis instead of Chambers and could be close.

5.35 Andros Townsend and his Dad

Appalling coverage ITV waited until 11.30 to see that old fashioned local news non league type commentary. Amateurs. Hope someone/we can get to see more, on Sky maybe tomorrow??

As a Northam regular I can tell you at least 50% in there today were not the usual STH crowd, average age 10 years younger. Nice to see a new generation of fans appreciating the FAC and the finer points of the game. At least they paid to go and watch not like many on here who know it all but see butter all.

Lets get Charlton, Preston or Sheff Weds at home; if away then Brighton or Charlton please Mr and Mr Townsend tomorrow at 5.35.

So with Ricky now injured, back to 3 with Sam now in the trio…..bare bones. And why oh why does Jay Rod not shoot with his left foot - hasn't he got one FGS!!?? Always opening up his body to shoot with his right. Well done on the heads up Glasgow; still think we could do with Zaha though, never replaced Alex.

I make it 4 out on loan now, and one suspended? Have we ever had such a situation/embarrassment of riches? Can we really get by with only 3 recognised out and out strikers - I include GDP in the 3. Who has let it get to this state, you need to keep back up for injuries/suspensions. I cannot believe that Puncheon, Mayuka and Sharp have all gone backwards in less than 9 months. Surely we have to get one back or another in on loan next week? And why did we not go for Zaha, if he is genuinely looking for a loan move, he would be ideal for us, or do Manure regard us as a rival now?

Talking of money, how much would it have been worth for Guly to either score or clear at Fratton, and Norris to shoot narrowly wide at SMS? 2 or 4 more points, would we have got more by finishing as Champions?? (Let alone the kudos…)

Above all football is a team game, and spirit is a tangible thing, which we clearly have had in abundance the last few years. No single person is bigger than the Club, although MLT came mighty close. He was a player we could carry as he delivered time after time and often carried the team, despite being 'far too good for the Club" if talent is the measure. On that basis, I would say 1) loan him out or sell, 2) put him with the youth team as above, or 3) go straight to jail, do not pass go and do not collect any money!

They are such slippery skates they can get away with anything has history has taught us…..
