All weren't available against Ipswich. Yes, Ipswich outplayed Saints at times but that is alot of 1st team players to be missing. Yet the squad was still good enough to win
Those waiting for the TV game announcement...
The 4th round TV games were announced on the Tuesday morning after the 3rd round so in theory we'll find out tomorrow.

Best photo of the season will be...
Markus Liebherr and Nicole Cortese sat in the St Mary's directors box next to Mark Jacobs, Peter Storrie and Al Faraj's brother.
Will be my desktop wallpaper if anyone can get a good photo of all five of them in one shot.
Some good chants to be made on this theme with all 5 sat within seats of each other.
By the time Feb 14th comes round I predict...
1) Their squad will be decimated after a fire sale.
or
2) The high court case on Feb 10th winds the club up and Saints get a bye.
All Wotton ever does is hoof the ball aimlessly, it is very disruptive and breaks up Saints play. One of the poorest technical players I've seen at Saints in years. Yes, he is motivated and tries hard but adds very little to the team.
Seaborne will be groomed to take over from Jaidi long term. I think 1st choice will be Jaidi/Fonte atm with Seaborne playing occasionally if Jaidi isn't up to lots of games in a short period.
Otsemobor is on a 6 month contract to cover for Murty's injury problems. Either he will do well and earn an extended contract or Saints will buy a new right back in the summer.
The videos work fine and I've never had a problem with the radio. You also have the option of listening to the away commentary which is more interesting.
You get things like...
- 10 minute Pardew press conference before the match.
- New player signing interviews.
- Feature videos
- Post match player and manager interviews
- Extended match highlights (often over 10 minutes long) far better than 30 seconds on the TV
- Youth team and reserve matches
- For a few matches you get the entire 90 minutes on video
- Radio commentary
- Video archive
- etc etc
For £18 a year it is great value and for an oversea Saint like yourself I'd say an essential purchase for such a low price.
Wow, I sound like I work for their PR company.
