Whats gone on?? I'll tell you whats gone on. Weve gone from L1 to the Prem in just over a year. Its startled us and a lot of people in the club are having problems coping. We just need to get used to where we are. It might mean changing the manager, it might not. Personally I think were a good team that deserves to be in this league. However we need to stop being quality for 30 to 40% of the game and try and be for 90%.

Probably joking about the 50 year thing bearing in mind seconds earlier it had been established that he had played in one, unless of course he thinks it was over 50 years ago.

Great shot of Steve Bruce and Dave Jones. Look demented.

Those skates are sure to notice those red and white scarfs have a Saints badge and not a blades one.

I'm going to ask for half my money back after that first half. It's all very well having encouraging spells/halfs in games but what the point if in the rest of the game we're sh1te and ship 2,3 or more goals. FFS in the first half we didnt have one shot let alone one on target. Spurs would have scored 5 or 6 today if Defoe wasnt so gash. Need Cork and Ramirez back and fast, or maybe NA is just out of his depth. Still think we'll stay up because something will change in a big way - it has to.

You sure? According to this Arsenal and Fulham will be, but us and Skank City will remain Umbro. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2223394/Arsenal-set-Adidas-switch-Nike-deal-expires.html

So Gazza's gonna score 3 goals.

I usually find I have to make sure I X out the right windows as sometimes X brings up new ad windows. You learn though. Having said that, every time I use it, as soon as I start streaming we concede loads of goals - Everton and Arsenal. Maybe its a carma thing what with it being illegal or whatever.

Has never been every 3 years. I remember we had same kit (albeit with different sponsors) between 1981 & 85. Since then it's always been every 2 years up until the last 3 years where its been replaced yearly.

They already did in the summer. Around 28k I believe.

Typical. We have Spurs on the previous Sunday and only have a 2 day rest as well as a trip up North. Leeds have Brighton on the Friday a few days later but why should it be us that only has the 2 day gap and not them.

Bizarre as I was thinking this myself this morning. The whole point of having an away kit is if the home kit clashes, so rule Norwich away out too.

The games are on 30/31st but we play on the previous Sunday 28th (not Sat) and Leeds play on Fri 2nd Nov at Brighton. One of us will have to play 2 games within 2 days

Cheers mate

of the Capital One cup obviously.

Sounds like we weren't inspirational but didn't need to be against a poor side. I went to Brighton v Sheff Wed the other week on a Fri night and I thought Wednesday were tragic.

... not forgetting the 3 - 1 away win at Spurs in the FA cup that season. This Liverpool game I will never forget. Was 16 years old in my first year at Eastleigh College. Lost my voice for days after. Never forget the feeling waking up the next day at 6am to start my first day working at the Wessex hotel, Winchester. I remember being very nervous at 3 - 1 when Liverpool were pressing. But then once it was 4-1 we could have made it 5 or 6. Liverpool were miles above anyone in those days

Ramirez didn't get a good enough mention for me (by Lineker, Lawro etc I mean)

Averaging over 30k is bloody good. I remember when in League one looking at the likes of Middlesboro and Blackburn struggling to get 20-25k. Remember our fan base up until 10 years ago were used to only having 15k tickets to scramble over.

TBF, he must have known his days would shortly be numbered especially considering he knows we have cash to spend. Also, in his last season in the Prem for Sunderland (05-06) he was awful and Sunderland were laughing at us for taking him for £1m. That said he's been a great servant for us. Turned down a move for Wham in 2009 in favour of first team football for a team in L1 with -10. For me he will join a list of players who I consider true warriors for the club during our wilderness years but now realise they don't cut the mustard, eg Hammond, Harding, Barnard etc

3 goalies ?? Didn't we also sign that USA under 20 keeper the other week?

Trust me, with all the new and current players having a solid week of training (not 2 days like this week) we'll be a different team next weekend. We were all waxing lyrical (as were all the pundits) about how great we played against Manure and how we dont look out of place in the Prem.

Hammond in last nights Brighton programme:

They looked pretty decent last night be but then again they were pretty good at the beginning of last season but couldn't keep it up.

I was at the game last night as well. Fitted in well. Liked his programme comments asking Albion fans for forgiveness.
