I managed to raise a slight smile at the final whistle yesterday.

Neither of those are questions.

So because he is a Saints player, you think if he is found guilty he should be treated differently in the justice system to your average Joe committing the same alleged offences?

When you say "midfield general", what qualities are you looking for? Schneiderlin's role in the Saints team is as a defensive midfielder, sitting just in front of the centre backs, breaking up attacks and then passing into the attacking players or switching play. Some think he can't tackle, but he is actually extremely good at winning back possession and dictating Saints play from a deep role. He didn't look out of place against Man Utd, doing exactly this in January in the FA Cup.

Why do people believe employees hired on a part time basis for crowd control would be kept informed of potential player transfers? Michael Owen is out of contract in the summer, so how can he come to Saints on loan?

A very well deserved pay rise to reflect his status as a first team regular starter probably.

Because Saints have a large squad. Extremely unlikely N'Guessan will be signed by Saints and I think Saints could get better than Stephens (who may have just been cover until Schneiderlin was fit). Schneiderlin today showed he is a class act in a defensive midfield role.

Schneiderlin, Chamberlain and Lallana form the basis of a very good midfield at Championship level.

Then why did Adkins say he will be a big player for Saints next season?

Nigel Adkins said before the game Alex has been training for a while and that Lallana and Chamberlain are going to be key players for Saints next season.

Just missing from that list is Chris Nicholl, who i thought did a great job in the five years he was in charge after Lawrie left. We will get to see him tomorrow, as he on the Walsall staff. In the 36 years from 1955 to 1991 Saints had 3 managers, in the 20 years from 1991 to 2011 Saints have had 20 managers! I wonder what might have happened if he wasn't replaced by Ian Branfoot...

If they are soon to be free agents but contracted to clubs in England he isn't allowed to talk to them yet, it would be illegal to do it without the clubs permission. You can talk to foreign based players from January, but domestic players only 6 weeks before their contracts run out at the end of June. So that time hasn't arrived yet.

Anyone that believes in a "Manager of the Month curse" or fate, are superstitious idiots of the highest order.

If Saints really are playing Durham on 19th July I doubt it will be the first team, more likely a Southampton XI using development players and the under 18's like they do every year against non league teams. The first team will probably be abroad at that point of pre-season.

Their average attendance is 3,800, so selling 1,700 for them is like Saints selling roughly 11,000 tickets for an away game. I think 1,600 tickets is quite good really and is over 3 times their highest away following up until this point.

Middlesborough have run out of parachute payments from their time in the Premier League and have already stated they are making large cutbacks to the wage bill this summer.

That is a photoshopped version of the Sunderland shirt.

The loan rules in the Football League may be changing in June, so that you can only have 4 loan players in your match day squad. This may screw Pompey if they want to boost numbers in their squad with loan players like they have this season.

No-one outside of the club/Umbro etc knows.

We can't see that. You need to actually put the image on here. Extremely unlikely someone would have access to it though.

No reason why you couldn't rename Britainia Road and the main training ground building.

A few people have started threads about renaming St Mary's, a stand, a corporate suite or a statue next to Ted Bates. I don't think any of those are appropriate. However what may be, would be to rename the main building at Staplewood training ground after him. My idea... The Markus Liebherr Pavillion...(After all, he paid for it. )

The Markus Liebherr Pavillion...After all, he paid for it.

Well the OS say he might... "Alex Chamberlain could return to the squad." As did Nigel Adkins in interview to BBC Solent.. #saintsfc Manager Nigel Adkins has hinted that Alex Oxlade Chamberlain could play some part in last league one game v Walsall. I expect he'll be on the bench.
