I'm pleased to have confirmation of this, I thought that I was going senile as I just couldn't find it at all ! Pesky BBC !!

Dear GM, I would like to know where I fit in to your thinking and how you would like me to to act in future ? I was born in Scotland, never lived in Southampton and have been both an ex-pat and UK dweller during the lifetime of this very website ! For some obscure reason, none of this has stopped me being a Saints fan and an ST holder for more than 25 years ! Please advise, Euro.

You seriously base your opinion on this, do you ?? Muppet !

On current form there is no way that Barnard should lose his place ! 'No contest' is the answer to the original question !

Please find attached his full profile from the saints Official Site : http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10280~50863,00.html We had no idea who he was when he came on last night, seems like the club don't know much either !!

I worked on Oxford Street (at Marble Arch) for about 20 years and never met another Saints fan so we must be on the up !!! COYS

What a thoroughly depressing thread ! I think I'll pop over to Skatessuicidal.co.uk just to cheer myself up ! There was me happy after a 5-1 win as well ! Grrrr.....

I have a collection of around 2,000 programmes and have been to just about all of the games ! I stopped buying them for a while in (a pretty pitiful !) gesture against 'him of the rosy cheeks' but have started again ! I've got all the big games for Saints and also some iconic ones as well (Real Madrid-Eintracht 1960 and Man U -Benfica 1968 for example). I tend to buy Saints programmes nowadays out of habit, because there is almost nothing written that you can't find online so maybe I should pack it in, let's see !

What a load of patronising claptrap ! Because others choose not to criticise every dropped point does not mean that they have 'low expectations' ! Many are able to see the bigger picture and are sensible enough to be patient and allow the manager a reasonable period in which to settle and develop a strong squad ! Pardew has been here 8 months and 5 of the new signings have been here since January (your obsession with us having spent so much money suggests that you expect immediate impact from day one!). Please do not feel sorry for me as I am able decide on my own expectation levels !

It's just a pity that he is so provocative with the thread title and many of his responses ! As soon as he gets involved you can be sure that reasoned debate is out of the window ! All IMHO

The best way to judge people in the service industry is how they react to a problem situation ! In my experience whenever this has happened at the SFC ticket office, they have responded quickly and efficiently ! Credit where it is due, they do a great job !

Now that is a FACT !

Sounds very messy !!

I think that you have summed it up pretty well ! I will not be too disappointed if your scenario comes to pass ! Be nice to win the JPT for 2 consecutive years as well

Given that we are (inevitably) going to get injuries and the odd ban, this is a great situation to be in regarding direct positional replacements ! Can't remember this being the case for a very long time !

Whenever I have seen him in the past (for Norwich) I thought that he was a cracking little RB and exactly what we needed ! Not trying to be 'wise after the event' but I am not surprised that he is beginning to get good ratings !

Happy bunny tonight ! Saints win, Skates lose ! COYS

Amazed myself by getting into it in the first place and must say that it was pretty good ! The section re. Skates and Storrie was particularly interesting (perhaps because it reflected my own opinion!). Well done lads, I will listen again next time !

I would suggest that players who move from one club to another should be made to sit out one round ! This would eliminate the possibility of teams taking short term advantage of new signings in the cup but be more equitable over a longer period !

Pardew has been here for 8 months ! Pardew has a 3 year contract ! The owners have been here for 8 months ! The owners have a 5 year plan ! Together they have steadied the ship which was on the rocks ! Why is everyone talking about 'giving it 18 months' ? Now is the time for continuity and solidarity not criticism and threats ! FFS, Rome wasn't built in a day !

I wish you hadn't just said that !

YES !

It's gonna take weeks to get rid of the smell anyway !!
