But if Saints make the final and lose, you will lose the bet and you'd already have brought the tickets and flight over here.

Lallana and Schneiderlin will end up in Premiership(or a major European countries top flight) at some point in their careers.

That is a very good draw. At home is the important thing.

They will be weaker by the end of the transfer window. Beckford likely to go soon to Newcaslte and maybe Snodgrass somewhere. Saints on the other hand should hopefully be stronger having brought well and not sold any stars.

They aren't 7th in the Blue Square Premier because of the points deduction from the previous season though. All the points total did is relegate them. The current team is far from the best in their league as the table shows and they had no points deduction this season.

Takes a while to hammer things home to Glasgow Saint so maybe if he reads it whenever he makes the same mistake he may eventually catch on.

Why "good on him"? He is planning to commit a criminal offense of entering the field of play and provoking thousands of fans and you are condoning it.

Bet he was happy Who is the other bid for then in Pardew's couple of bids he revealed? Chris Lines? What about any other deals or maybe the areas Pardew want to improve? Striker? Barnard/Jackson? Right back?

As it is a completely random draw it is pointless guessing really.

So Chris Lines and Elliot Ward the couple of bids Pardew was talking about after the game? Sounds like a good start to the transfer window if true. Hopefully a striker like Lee Barnard or Simeon Jackson to follow and possibly another right back.

Old article, but shows it is more than just a random internet rumour and there "may" have been past interest. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/coventry-city-fc/football-rumours-gossip/2009/11/20/elliott-ward-being-tracked-by-three-clubs-92746-25212872/

How can they be completed on a New Years day(bank holiday) or a weekend? They need to be rubber stamped when the offices open on Monday.

Leaving it until 15 minutes before kick off to turn up and collect your ticket is cutting it very fine even if the line was short.

To be fair that is your fault turning up 15 minutes before the game. Even if the line was short you are cutting it fine.

18,786 Saints vs a non league team was... 6,000 more than Pompey against a Championship side. 6,000 more than Middlesbrough against Man City Most shocking of all... 14,000 more than two Premiership sides playing each other Wigan vs Hull

I really don't have a problem with how they did it. As I said earlier it makes the areas of the ground more densely populated... 3 full(ish) stands and 1 behind goal stand empty >>> (better atmosphere) >>> 4 sparsely populated stands

Close the lower rows would be better. The further back you sit the better view you have.

They were on for most of the first half and then had technical problems around 30 minutes and came back on later.

Makes the other stands fill up more. 3 full(ish) stands and 1 behind goal stand empty >>> (better atmosphere) >>> 4 sparsely populated stands

6,000 more at St Mary's to watch a non league side than Middlesbrough got against Man City.

Because there is nothing else to do in Norfolk on a Saturday

A crazy man has started a group stating...

Why does he need 10,000 people? If he is an idiot enough to do it, then just do it. If he does start getting close to 10,000, Pompey may become aware due to the publicity and ban him from the ground.

Or Millwall fans in 2004 when they were 10th in the Championship and in the FA Cup final.

We have 9 days of transfer window to buy players until the next league game.
