I could hear the sigh of relief from Tokes & Bearsy from over here. Good decision MiS. Welcome aboard

IF The team play like that every week AND Win every game between now and the end of the season by 3 clear goals or more AND IF We sign quality in the gaps we have in the squad in the summer AND wins our opening 5 games next season Then as far as I am concerned he can even wear a Mankini every week But He'd have to win the first 12 games to be allowed to wear Stone Island

Oh, I forgot to add, I would also be playing EVERY Rick Astley album (Including the remixes) as background music.

Dear Made in Southampton. Forget the death threats from Milts - after all that would only be a few moments of agony followed by blackness and a trip to The White Light. It's simple, either you pay your fiver or JustMike will track you from your IP address, I will get my mates to hack you and then, on my next trip over, I will bring a Powerpoint Presentation of my 15 Years of Golfing tales. Bearsy will Duct tape you to an armchair and tape your eyelids open, Tokes will feed you Red Bull and electric shock therapy. All in all I reckon the Powerpoint should take, hmm around 4 days. The only tough call is do I start with the Jamie Donaldson winning $500,000 thanks to me tale or the Sergio & the Chick in the Red Dress tale? Nah I'd start with the Red Dress, it would stop Tokes & Bearsy's heads exploding in the critical first six hours.

What?? You mean you're not a Shareholder? FFS Turks, the Annual Dividend payments from it alone are why me & Eric have to stay stuck in this sandpit for Tax Purposes. How did you miss out? Ah yeah, you weren't in Franny's curry house that night were you. Get that damned Fashion Biz up and running FFS

Wow, he can't shoot? Never noticed that this season. No Sireee.......... IF he starts to shoot (and score) then he would become More Than immense, he'd make Messi look.....

Plus he appeared to be blowing very hard after he ran out to the touchline, cleared, then ran back into goal to save the long range shot back at him near the end

10 points maybe, but Security at Barasti have now got your & SwaH's photos and you are both TOTALLY banned from watching any more games with us UNTIL we are Mathematically safe

Thanks for the replies gang - so, no consensus. Cannot see Jos diving, slipping yes, but not diving. But yes, Suarez IS a lying diving cheat. TV showed that up brilliantly in the second half when he went down like a cheap hooker to win a FK against Clyne Glad that (Cork I think) took him out after he showed his studs to Jose (who gave him a "gentle" pat on the head)

And when Jos fell over all on his own to let Suarez in just before he went off injured. We assume the Ref gave a free kick for an ankle tap by Suarez but the camera angles were inconclusive. If it was for offside it was an awful decision, and to us it just looked like Jos slipped. Anyone have a comment/better view of it?

Nope. But then look what happened to Jim Davidson after he moved back to you lot

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2294328/Southampton-3-Liverpool-1--Match-report-Morgan-Schneiderlin-Rickie-Lambert-Jay-Rodriguez-boost-Saints-Premier-League-survival-hopes.html Bloody hell, first report in ages that doesn't blame the visitors for having "an off day"

Jrod V Sturridge for England? Having a Larf. One has technical quality, pace, a magical first touch and passion. The other played a few matches in London

Think he has the ability to become a legend in the way Niemi did. He just seems to get more and more confident every game and that spreads to the rest of the defence. Which means he'll have a stinker against Chelsea

Yes, but what you then forget is how much we all hate you lot. Being able to watch Comic Relief, or SPOtY on something other than a dodgy stream, watching X Factor with such a superb pool of talent and having something to talk about every day (Simon Cowell, Jordan, The Weather), the ability to read a Newspaper that prints opinion instead of the news. The opportunity to watch Saints play live more than 2 or 3 times a year. The fact that none of you have ever suffered from A/C flu or the horrors of having your sinuses filled with crud for weeks after a sandstorm. And of course, the ability to live in a Civil Partnership without getting arrested, or, if you lose your job by mistake or mismanagement by a moron, knowing you won't get deported. It isn't being abroad that makes us weird. It's the fact that we don't have "The News" telling us how sh1t everything is 24x7 and our papers aren't full of pages of what Kate was wearing at some mud fest in Cheltenham. Oh and the fact that when we watch Saints win, we're doing it in a pub on a beach. Yeah that always helps

What a great night that was. Reckon we had around 14 of the Dubai Massive in Barasti watching our usual telly, but with it being Paddys' the place was rammed so the entire corner where we sat became footie corner. We had Villans & a sad loan QPR fan, Scousers & Gooners, must have been close to 50 people watching 4 different games oohing ahhing and cheering. When they showed the rain on the telly we almost got a chorus of we're nice & dry out here going. Scousers started shouting at their lot, then shouting about Allen & then about everyone. (No doubt they had an off day in the press tomorrow!) BUT here are some telling comments and not from us How the fook does Sturridge get in the England squad ahead of JRod? Christ apart from the goal wish you lot had signed Coutinho How good is that Ramirez? Hope our man signs him in the summer (Gooner) Where did you find that keeper? lol First half some of the touches and football was just sublime, I think as others have said we (and probably NA) would have been waiting for Liverpool to get going and take us to the cleaners, but MP has instilled something into this team. To be critical we all felt we dropped the pace and intensity at the start of the 2nd half, but then JRod came up with a CMFG at Ipswich goal. Even my youngest (a scouser) sent a txt at the end and said wow, well played Oh and as for the rest of the England squad with Wilshere out, how the hell is Cork not in it, let alone Clyne & Adam? Buzzing tonight

The win today was totally down to TMS. What a brilliant tactical decision. On with the next. Worried about Gullit's height from set pieces

**** yes get in

Yup 20+ of us here saw that coming. Rofl @ all the Irish having their paddys day ruined

Anderson has to be a bit of a concern though with enforcing the follow on

Oh and of course down in lala land I see that those other pesky bidders have bowed to the bestest and obviously given up completely. Or should I not rely on #factless for updates?

He's short he's round he bounces on the ground Sammy Lee. Nope Simon Gillett. Nope Oh yeah JWP, JWP! See the TMS build up thread can even come up with new songs

I'm really worried about the game today. There's a one in 5 chance that we'll have David Pleat as the summariser. Still, maybe Bearsy (RIP) can have a word with Tony Gubba upstairs and see if he could just find a way to do it for us one more time. Trouble is I think we need a medium for that and Turkish is (I'm reliably informed by Demis Roussos) a XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL

That's fried the brain Sue. Watching the reaction of normal ladies looking at semi naked ladies who they then discover to be men with nice bewbs is usually weird enough. Not quite sure what reactions to look for to be able to spot a Lesbian looking at a semi naked lady who is actually a man. Think that needs a woman's opinion on it or a Psychologist

OK so time to bump this thread. Big game build up. What's the news? Luke Shaw had a cold this week. (I could say Rick told me but in fact it was Luke himself (on Twitter)) What's the preferred beer of the day? (Oh gawd more beer arrgh) Where you watching the game? Who do we have to hate for being at SMS?
