Everything points towards this being a cracker.

Connolly on the edge of the penalty area, volleys it just wide.

Great atmosphere from both sets of fans by the sounds of it.

Southampton: Kelvin Davis, Jon Otsemobor, Aaron Martin, Jose Fonte, Jospeh Mills, Dean Hammond, Lloyd James, Adam Lallana, Jason Puncheon, Lee Barnard, David Connolly We can still win. And win well.

Hope not, we can do better than Virgo.

Don't see anything wrong with the defence. Mills is more than good enough IMO. Only doubt is Martin, and let's be honest - we no nothing about him. He could have a fantastic game.

Obviously sees something in Martin then, I thought he didn't rate him. Can still win.

Isn't there 3000 up there?

Their new kit is fecking disgusting.

Whenever i've seen Poke play i've been very impressed - ignoring the 5-0 away to Hull where he was injured and had to play on.

Here we go again. Like Delldays, you are making assumptions. Why can we not also assume that he will sign on a 5 year contract for us and we will keep all the players we want to?

Lambert chant, complete with "na na na na" bit, is worth a listen.

I'd like to keep Perry as a player coach to be honest, he's done a fantastic job for us all things considered. Not once has he had a bad game.

Never buy the normal FIFA games, but will probably buy this.

2004 actually mate, I didn't even follow football until I started watching Saints. If your accusing me of jumping on a bandwagon then it was the one rolling off a cliff.

Obviously not, but there IS a middle ground. The world isn't divided into Matt Le Tiss and everyone else wanting to jump ship immediately.

Why? If we are discussing hypothetical situations, why can't we assume that Lambert wants to stay inside St Marys stadium until he dies? And FWIW, upwards of £4million. Oh, and making the assumption that he wants to go - when by every single account from the player, the manager and fans who have spoken to him says otherwise - looks a tad pessimistic. As in, it looks like you prefer to talk about the negative possibilities rather than the positive ones.

Hang on, has the shirt been leaked or something? Everyones talking like it's definitely NOT the sash shirt.

The point being that the figures it would require for us to accept a bid are not the sort of fees clubs could afford to pay for a gamble.

Clearly, but that's not the point.

F*ck, you're right. I'm sure Norwich won't make one either seeing as they lost at home to us. It would be really embarrassing if they released a season review DVD, seeing as they lost a game. I mean, that's just mental.

Perhaps - but in the same interview Pardew said "if someone comes in with £10 million for Lambert, we might have to review the situation". You reckon anyones gonna pay that kinda money?

Indeed, I suggest anyone thinking there will be an exodus should watch Pardews latest interview on Saintsplayer. "I have no intention of breaking this group up and the players don't want to break it up either". "Just to reassure the fans, Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, Morgan Schneiderlin and Jason Puncheon have all come to me and said they can't wait for next season".

Harding does deserve credit, and over the last few seasons he would have won player of the year, but it's a GOOD thing he can be that fantastic and still be soundly beaten to player of the year. 33 goals, 20 assists and some of the best hold up play, vision and passing i've seen from a Saints player for a long long time. Lambert deserves the award.

I was disappointed as well. Yes, it was an awful season, but there were still some moments to remember - Davis' wonder save V Cardiff being one. That goal against QPR by Lallana another. The games away to Preston and Reading.
