As if by magic..... 3pm (ish) [video=youtube_share;1iAb08WQCUI]

No announcement yet. Usually 3pm (ish) on Thursdays for Saturday games at home. Unusual not to have announced it yet though. Perhaps there's a technical issue with the new press conference suite at the training ground (which I believe they are supposed to be using from this week onwards, rather than hot footing it across town to the St Mary's media room )

After what arbitrary game of the season does the author suggest it is no longer down to luck, and why does he choose said number?

Nice one. Cheers for sharing Connor.

An analogy that's worth repeating because it hits the nail on the head. Markus saved our club and for that I'll be eternally grateful.

Yes, he was but has sworn me to secrecy....oops....

Scottish Nationalists going into persecution complex over-drive on social media about this at the moment.... http://news.stv.tv/scotland/298516-alex-salmond-effigy-to-be-burned-at-lewes-bonfire-celebrations/ I'm not sure what all the fuss is about really, the Cameron effigy in 2010 was much more realistic....

Nice touch. What with the video last night I'm fast joining the ranks of emotional grown men here!

Yep...it's what he would have wanted....

Selling out at home to one of the worst teams in the league? We'll be needing a stadium expansion before long....

How ridiculous would it be for me to throw the name "Theo Walcott" out there? Probably best if I kept my hunches to myself sometimes....
