Well ****ed off that I'm missing it as I'm in South Africa at the mo ! Booked the trip in Sept thinking that we may get to the play-offs in May but never even considered the JPT trophy at end of March !! Looks like it's not on TV here either, C'est la vie as they say ! Just hope that we get a big win anyway ! COYS...

My son (Alright_Dave) is coming over from Belgium but unfortunately (yes, I am p|ssed off at missing a Wembley occasion, unlike Alpine_Saint who thinks it is a waste of time!) am in and around Africa for about 6 weeks and although enjoying the experience am still a bit sad not to be part of the big day ! Good luck to all who are there and I hope that it is everything that you wish for !! COYS

Please don't let the facts interfere with his opinion, eh ??

I am led to believe that Skatesville is twinned with Kabul !!

Relief beyond belief !! Onwards and upwards !

Am in Africa and just logged in to a slow connection, can't follow the ups and downs without serious stress ! Sh#t, I hope that we don't blow this one now !!!!!

Sorry to be pedantic but 2 yellows = 1 match ban, it would not have been straight red ! Also at this time of the season you need 10 yellows to incur a ban (5 until Jan, I think!) so I doubt we won't suffer on that score !

If you want a good omen, I will be in the sky during the match on my way to Cape Town ! Last time I landed there I got a text from my son telling me that we had just beaten Ipswich away 3-0 !! History to repeat itself 3-0 COYS !

Difficult to add anything to the 99.9% of posters who agree that this guy was Sh#t (note the capital 'S'). All I want to say is thanks to Saint_clark for the great photos which clears up one of (the many!) appalling decisions ! On a scale of 10 Walton would have struggled for 1 !!!

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
