Got a strange feeling we're gonna get a couple of killer signings before the windows out.

Lambert gets back to back promotions then f&cks up at Villa. Adkins gets back to back promotions then...... (why the hell would you want to go to Vanilla)

I hope he doesnt go to a PL club. Loads of our players will follow him. They wont go to the likes of Leeds.

just turned on soccer Saturday and obviously missed the Saints bit. What was said ?

Lets be honest we have complained a bit about Adkins substitutions. But this worked a treat. Dont play RL or GR, let Chelski think were sh1t, and then pounce.

Liverpool would see him as another Hodgson. Blackbum would have been a good job for him had the ex Skate not got it.

Signing this dude seems like such a side issue. The Saints part of me is deflated tonight.

Daily Echo: "Reports emerged in the last 24 hours that the St Mary’s chief had met Argentinian coach Pochettino, who has been out of work since late November, when he was let go by Espanyol after a poor run of results." Is this some kind of sick joke.

So have we signed Forren then? http://beta.dailyexpress.co.uk/sport/football/371637/Southampton-sign-Norwegian-defender-Vegard-Forren

Lets face it, pretty much all of us wanted him out. He was great in 09/10 then never found any form in 10/11. For the 2nd half of 10/11 and most 11/12 we wanted him out and he wanted out but no one would take him full time. Even when we made up with him at the end of 11/12 (last season) he didn't look that great to me. Really don't know where this great form has come from?? Not complaining mind.

Weve also picked up 5 points in our last 3 away games, 1 more than Chelsea have collected in their last 3 home games.

going up on train having gone to villa on coach. Anyone know where Saints fans will be drinking?

Why exactly?? Anyway, here's my opinion of my experience on the official away coach. The seats were a bit uncomfortable and a bit small. Hardly luxurious and there was no TV entertainment. Also it didn't stop at any services which I fancied. That said, they were more concerned on getting there quickly giving us plenty of time to go to the pub etc. It depends what you're after but I quite liked getting there no long after 1pm considering we left at 10.30. I was chatting to some people who had been on the unofficial http://southamptonawaytravel.co.uk/ coach. They said it took forever to get there and back. That said in the Villa away coach area I had a peek inside one and they did look nicer than our official one.

Which pub/pubs will Saints fan be going to? I'll be leaving in an hour.

Chelsea's recent hot form has only been away from home. Their last 5 home games have involved defeat to Swansea & QPR and a draw v Fulham. That said they also been Vanilla 8 - 0.

Seriously not enough being said about the challenge on Ramirez in the first half. Had the ref seen it he would have been off. Jonathan Pearce agrees.

I was at the game and I can confirm that you are indeed clueless.

On coach home. Not sure how we won that. Prob has something to do with benteke missing open goals.

I think we'll tonk Villa. Really looking forward to today. A great big ground and 3 points on offer. The two don't usually go together.

But the official colleseum one is £20 for villa so thats a saving of 5p, and you get seat numbers pre allocated. Anyway, does anyone know the answer to my question - can you drink on the official colleseum ones? Whats it like?

Seeing as I live in Brighton and work in Crawley (where I will be travelling from) I'm up for this. Buying my tickets at SMS before stepping on the coach to Villa.

Do they have a problem with drinking on the coach? Do they have toilets on the coaches? Whats people opinions of them? Also, £10 to park at SMS for the day ? WTF?? Me and my Dad are going up on the Colleseum away coaches. £20 - not bad.

I'm on the away supporter coach for the 1st time since 1990. Just found out its £10 to park at SMS FFS !!!

Hoorah ! Really looking forward to it. Going on the supporters coach for the first time since first game of the season 90/91, which was also Villa away.

I called the ticket office last week as I was worried they would sell out before going on general sale yesterday. They said there were a thousand tickets left and I gleefully snapped up my tickets yesterday. Why are we not selling this out??
