Golden Balls

Being selfish, great news for Saints that one of our rivals has lost a good player for a period of time.

I vary vary rarely expect us to win a game. Usually when I do, they let me down. So apologies but I expect a 3-1 win.

Had a horrific injury when playing a game at St Mary's. He was working at Fitness First for a while then went to Australia. Think he's back now but not seen him since.

Golden thread this

How nice of Rickie to remember that chaps birthday

The Portsmyths have been in hyperdrive tonight. Yet again apparently we were run all over Southampton again tonight, yet never turned up yet, we're beaten to a pulp. When in reality they turned up to the stadium with modest numbers, sat and watched as their academy got thrashed then went hope quietly.

Just hope the tickets are priced sensibly. We obviously won't put a good team out which is annoying.

Really can't see us getting anything up there.

Really hope we don't stick with the JRod rehash song for him..would be a missed opportunity. It has to be Righteous Brothers - Lovren feelin' We're trying hard not to show it - Dejan, But Dejan, Dejan you know it. We've got that Lovren feeeeelin, Woah that Lovren feelin, We've got that Lovren feelin now he's on, on on wooooooah. And no clapping so no speeding it up. Winner.

Saw Schneiderlin is Tesco Ocean Village after the game. Said he should be fit for next week.

Excellent from him. Like others have said, he offered a lot going forward which he wasn't so much before. Always solid but Redmond in the Norwich game gave him a lot of problems. Great future ahead

How spiteful from the club. Fair enough ban FB but why refuse to stock the book? Very poor!

I'd rather not to be reminded of that horrible game alongside being told how much younger and richer some teenagers are compared to me.

Was once in the same room as Craig David without realising it was him.

Booked tickets online for the Mayflower recently and it doesn't allow you to just leave one seat free. Saints should adapt their system to do the same.

Calling Turkish. There's an attendance thread. Time to indirectly quote MLG as if he is speaking for the whole fan base regarding expanding the ground.

Shouting from the roof tops = One or 2 posters on a forum.

Stop all this bloody positivity!!!

They'll need to keep their heads. Very easy for these young players to get caught up in the atmosphere.

It's happening

Not a smoker but methods that have helped people I know. Join a gym. Get fit. When you start to see results, you won't want to ruin it. As others have said, put away the money you've saved by not smoking. Quit with someone else. If they are determined too then you won't want to let each other down. However if I they are weak then once they start again you might feel you have an excuse to do the same. Avoid alcohol. Get rid of any lighters. Brag to friends about how well you're doing. Man up.

I'm nearly 26 and a lot of these apply to me. Apart from people actually listening to what I have to say.

Can't say I've purchased one for a long time but last years looked good, this years are a strange size and look annoying.

10 years? Wow! Too young to have witnessed what he achieved as a player or manager but obviously realise his input into the club. Do hope he and Markus can somehow look down on us and witness what the club is doing now. Mr Southampton
