If Barny is out surely we can just slot Guly in there and I wonder if Richardson CDAJFU at right midfield as I seem to remember when we signed him the OS talking about what a good attacking player he could be.

Seeing as how they didn't get the trophy yesterday will they be presented with it next weekend or is this always held over till the end of the year? I can't imagine they will "go easy" on us next week and will no doubt want to lord it over a "big club" at their ground. Can't see how them having won the league with games to spare will help us next weekend :-(

I now hope he signs purely for the chance to sing along to one of those Deppo masterpieces! Deppo for official saints song creator? I think so ;-)

I hear Martin O'Neil brought a nice house in Winchester ... Looked him up on soccerbase looks a bit of a nobody so not sure how we'd convince the work permit people how he is "significantly" better than a home/EU based player.

Diamond formation messed us up again although only via radio it sounded like they just played around us far too easily. Hopefully he will bin it off now until he has his first choice players to play it! Disappointing evening you could just tell it wasn't going to be our evening when Forte decides to shoot from 20 yrds rather than keep running it in for the easier finish (going on the taters viewpoint!). Onwards and upwards for Saturday!

Sounds like starting with the diamond has really cost us! Need a goal in the next ten really. Strangely feel that we get one we'll get 2!

I hate to be resonable to them but I think that was the serbian guy they signed just before our cup game. Don't think he ever played but I'm sure one of our resident skates can put me right if not! According to wiki Rocha signed from Standard Leige although he had, had his contract terminated. As for the russians sounds a rum lot who if they manage to sneak past the FAP test it would be shown up again as a complete joke. I haven't been on the thread in a little while but wasn't this takeover sposed to be done and dusted a couple of weeks ago? ;-)

I think that was the Ox or Martin?

They didn't draw 2-2 then? ;-) Either way reasonable result for us there hopefully they can get a result vs Posh next and help us out further which I'm sure they will be pleased about!

Plymouth to go bust meaning Brighton lose 6points and implode with us nicking the league by a point on the last day with a last minute winner haha ;-) As much as a one off game victory at OT would be a good day out Auto promotion please! Brighton have deserved the championship if they just hold their nerves for 4 more games they should be home and hosed! Been top since before we played them at home so fair play to them a better start to the season and I think we would have made it alot lot closer!

Thought it sounded fantastic to have OWTS slow in the 2nd half whilst ignoring the same muppets at the back banging the back boards at a speed that has no relation to the song! Amazing how when we upped our singing that the players seemed to up their tempo to!

Forte looks inflated at 500k so far ;-)

Chamboooooo! yay!

That game is over is it? :-S Sounds like at the moment we have made up points on both bompey and brighton stop being so negative its boring!

Even more amazing was its actually 4 ex saints turning out for the pool tonight! Crainey, Beatts, Ormerod and Punch! Great finish by JP again wish he could do that for us every week!

To be fair the echo says its 13 games we haven't scored in so if its 7 games under him thats still the majority! The 0-0's I've seen under him I always get the impression he fails to make the tactical changes necessary to really change the games e.g. Notts County where his only really attacking sub came after about 80 mins. Hopefully with the added pace up front of Forte we might see some improvement. Seems to me that we could have done with Waigo back again as he always added a different style of play to our tactical locker.

Most pointless Loan ever for Shea? Surely better to give the under 12 goal keeper some bench time as opposed to that total drain on resources Forecast! Not good enough for non league but good enough for our bench? I think not!

Disaster covers it I reckon.

I think AL is the only one of those left now! Far as I can remember Papa, Wayne Thomas, Lloyd James, Wotton, AL, RL, Anotonio all took pens at some stage in that comp.

RIP Deano, excellent player for us should have had international recognition! No age at all :-(

You remember correctly, versus Coventry at home, we won so perhaps we should get him back ;-) Surreal though Jim the west Ham supporter leading a brass band playing You'll never walk Alone at a Saints game pure mental!

Every inch better than Wooooooneys last weekend but alas it was before football was really created in 1992 so it probably doesnt count! ;-)

Again another case of big four player being made out to be some demi god whereas if a player from someone like Wigan had scored that it would barely register on the Sky Sports radar! Definately Delaps was better IMO

Can only really see a Bompey win there what with Rovers currently awful form!

So presumably on that basis we are above Huddersfield and Bournemouth as we have games in hand on them, ok I hear you say but Charlton are technically above all 3 of us! Even on that basis your argument would put us 3rd in the league so surely that means we have gone up in the league and we're moving forward .... Oh ... Doesnt fit so closely to the rest of your Alpine-esque post!
