The Cat

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/9078495.stm HIghlights on BBC. I see Turkish at the start on the right reading his programme.

You muffed that one up well and truly.

Would like to see us get minimum 16 points from those games which would probably put us second.

Remember our biology teacher at school saying something similar. A quick google reveals a relevant article written in your backyard: http://www.godubai.com/citylife/ls6.asp?article_id=2002/GTY%23162

I wonder what Turkish would think about people with their forum names on the backs of their shirts?

Was it Alan Irvine? Because when we played up there recently they pulled all 11 back for a corner at 1-0 down with 10 mins left. Mental.

I often buy a pie at half time because I haven't eaten anything since breakfast, have drunk a good few pints and am hungry. In reality I buy a pie at half time and consume it in my seat during the second half because it's so hot that to eat it during the interval would be like commiting self harm and despite owing some early Cure albums that's not my scene at all.

A draw on Saturday would be fine, a win would be fantastic. After Huddersfield it's definitely not beyond the realms of possibility that we will win every game up until Xmas.

That midget in WWE is pretty good, he even won a title at some point. And to think some people believe it's fake, well that's just patronising to the wee little fella.

Glad I brightened up your day. Maybe it's because I used to stand in the Milton, Archers and the Northam until 2005 when I reluctantly gave up my season ticket due to the arrival of my first child. Pretty much up until this point the only times people would unleash this chant was, strangely, when the keeper was a bit porky. We didn't resort to doing it for every goal kick. Will we still be doing it if we get back to the top division? Shouting it at Petr Cech and Joe Hart? I can't wait. I'm sure the opposition fans will think it's hilarious. Yes, the people who do this should STFU, unless that is they can come up with something different. Something relevant. You're right, the player coming on as sub probably doesn't care that we shout "who" at him. That doesn't stop it being sad. I don't hear other clubs doing it every time we bring on a sub. In fact I don't recall it happening at all in the past few years. Maybe the Stockport keeper was just rubbish at kicking? It's not about being quiet, it's about not being small time predictable fans. Thanks for calling me a moron.

But the chant is lame. The keepers aren't fat which means it isn't funny. It's a chant for fat keepers. How about substituting the word "fat" for another one until the next time Neville Southall rocks up for a testimonial. Can I remind you that when we played Bolton in the cup they had a ginger kid in goal who I think was making his debut. He got the wotsit treatment we gave Lewington of MK, but he played with composure and pulled off a couple of decent saves in front of the Northam.

I hate the "who" thing too. It's disresepectful, childish and arrogant. It could only ever be funny if used sarcastically, perhaps if we were 6-0 up at Old Trafford and Rooney came on as sub for Man Utd. It's arrogant because it suggests we feel we should be watching better players. It's childish in it's pettiness, we do it every *****ing time a sub comes on. EVERY TIME. And oh, here comes someone we've never heard of making their debut. Lets belittle him even though it's a great moment in his career which none of us will ever be lucky enough to achieve. While I'm at it, the "you fat bastard" which we, hahahaha, chant EVERY TIME their keeper takes a goal kick, hahahaha, hold on my sides are splitting. GROW UP. Next time their keeper is taking a goal kick, just hold on, think, stop yourself. There's a lull in the game. Maybe check your watch, do you need a slash, hungry? You could turn round to your mate and chat about the brilliant move we just put together, or the fact Puncheon has a nicer butt than J-Lo, or start a new chant (actually don't do that, it'll be cack) or, or, or JUST STFU AND KEEP QUIET. It makes us look lame. We're projecting an amateurish image in front of League 1 fans, some of which have spent half their supporting lives actually watching amateur football. I bet quite few new teams fans come down here expecting our ex-Prem fans to be quite good and all they get is the same old, same old. Reminds me of the Bill Hicks line - "just hold on while I plaster on a fake smile and plough through this 5hIt one more time". Bring back the *****ing Archers, or the Milton. It's embarrassing.

To be fair I agree with you. We do have a good support, but in my world Saints should sell all their home tickets every week. People just make excuses not to come but they'll come scurrying back if we get to the Premier League. How was Brighton today? Hope none of your fans left early and missed the penalty which I hear was incredibly dodgy. Maybe you'll stop moaning about soft penalty's now? That would be nice. See you in March for another easy 3 points.

I think they've been waiting for me to go for a ****, and then doing it. QUICK, HE'S GONE, SWAP WINGS. They should hold up a big sign or something. Maybe play a short burst of music?

Well I'm clearly not watching properly then. I'll go and sit outside Mr Barnard's office and await my punishment.

Judging by the crowd today I'd estimate about 2000 Saints Yoof must have been banned after the Bournemouth game as there were about that many fewer Stone Island badges in the ground compared to last week.

Well if they did it hasn't been obvious and I've been to at least 75% of those games. Pardew always had Lallana on the left and Puncheon on the right, both cutting in and I don't remember them swapping during games.

Quality performance. Tranmere barely touched the ball at times and looked quite confused as to how they'd get it back. Have to say fair play to them for not resorting to just trying to kick us up in the air at any opportunity as some teams will against that style of play. Guly was superb. All those people that were slagging him off earlier in the season have now been shown up to be pretty clueless about football. Once played in his correct position (as he was for the final 30 against Yeovil) he has enormous influence on the game. The first goal was all down to him chasing a wayward pass which looked like it was drifting out for a throw in. Got to say that Adkins has strengthened our team no end, and this without really bringing in any players. Definitely the sign of a manager who knows what he's doing. Liked the way we passed the ball throughout the team, even though Davis did do a couple of dodgy square passes across the box! I'd rather that than the aimless hoofing we saw under Pardew. One reason why Seaborne's distribution has improved is that the midfielders and wingers are giving him options for an easier pass. Noticed that Puncheon and Lallana swapped wings during the game today, something I've been advocating for a while. Pity we didn't score another couple but musn't grumble about that performance. Oh, and is that the first English League game ever played between 2 teams both managed by former physios?

Interesting that of the people that have been to loads of foreign grounds, none went to Steaua Bucharest?? That's my only foreign ground.

Never been in there myself, although I used to go to Goblets a lot. It does have one other claim to fame, it's the place where that foxy Russian Spy met the student in Southampton that she was banging for a while. Tried to post a link to the Sun website with the story but the swear filter on here won't allow the word s h a g g e d which is in the url. If you want to read it just google "russian spy southampton" and it's the first link. It's a strange world when a football forum is more censored than the Sun.

I'm in, presuming I've got my nipper in bed for his nap by then.

Did anyone see this? Incredible game, surely one of the best tests in history. Last day highlights are below. I've just spent almost an hour watching the lot, but should you wish to watch just the last few overs head to video 6. http://cricfire.com/highlights/6720/india-v-australia-day-5-highlights-1st-test-at-mohali-oct-05-2010/#more-6720

Come on Clegg, sort it out and don't allow this married couples tax break nonsense. I'm not married but have been with my missus for 15 years. We have 2 kids and a mortgage. Why would signing a bit of paper make us less likely to separate? Know quite a few couples who got married since we've been together and are already divorced. Making that extra "commitment" didn't help them did it Cameron?? Typical Daily Mail pandering policy from the Tories.

Fair play to her I say. Even the normal subscription to Sky is too expensive, hence why I watch live Sky games on internet streams. If she wins then Sky's exclusive rights to 5/6ths of Premiership live games will be worth a fraction of it's current amount meaning less money for the top clubs which in turn will mean wages are slashed, loads of the money grabbing players will bugger off and we'll see more young English players given the chance to play top flight football. Also it will probably mean quite a few clubs from the Premiership who have been loaded with debt will go bust. Sounds good to me.
