Block 531 row 8. I don't care - was in the last row at the back at Cardiff and still loved it.

Mate got 5 of us tickets via postal application and all tickets have arrived. I can't contact him though. I blame the ticket office staff.

Shame, great commentator. I much preferred him over Reg Gutteridge although both were good in their own way.

I'm looking around for a car in the supermini class (well I think they call it that these days). It'll need to be in the 3-4k price range. It doesn't need to be really sporty but I would like something that will be OK on the motorway, most of my driving will be the slow daily commute though. Any recommendations or horror stories?

Always difficult to make comparisons but Rickie's been fantastic this season - just to get to 30 goals is a hell of an achievement. I was looking on youtube this morning at some of his goals for brizzle rovers and it shows that yesterdays stunner is not unique.

I've got a season ticket so I'm OK - usual place North Kingsland. I'm amazed that we're packing so many people into SMS for this game though - surely Health and Safety people would have raised a few questions?

Out of interest, with so many conflicting opinions by even those that went to the game, how do you form your opinion?

Ha ha, I've just realised I posted on the wrong thread as well! I'm stoopid, I bet there's an app for that.

I wouldn't say this annoys me but I did find it funny. There was a fella a couple of rows in front of me last night who either had just got a new iphone/iTouch thingy (don't know which and don't care) or was totally addicted to it who was constantly checking the score of guess what match? Yes, that's right - the one he was watching . Did he think Sky would get quicker updates than his eyes?

I particularly liked the idea to ban renaming the divisions and to go back to division 1 being division 3.

An incompetent ref will get things wrong for both sides but this ref was consistently calling bad decisions in leeds favour. He was without doubt the worst ref I've seen. The penalty/goal disallowed decision was unbelievable and I got the impression he tried to be "strong" by not doing what refs normally do when they've made a mistake and even up the score. If that was a premiership referee then I'm glad we don't play in that division. Quite simply awful. The guy was a joke.

Normally have a drink in the Varsity as well. Would be suprised if it had been allocated as an away pub - it's normally packed before the game.

Surely the point of a jury is to decide guilt? It's the job of the judge to decide sentencing, isn't it? Of course none of us know any details yet so it would be foolish to comment on his crime/guilt/sentence. I do think that his past record should be considered when sentenced if he's guilty - he's had enough time and chances (I hope) to be rehabilitated and so there does come a time when it ceases to be a problem of the system or upbringing and that it's just a product of the individual. It's terrible when this happens (if the allegations are true) because it detracts from the cases where the combination of rehabilitation and punishment have actually worked. That's about as liberal as i can get on this.

Come on Saints! I don't want another evening of reading wrist slitters!

What time is it in Weymouth?

Anyone spot the contradiction here? Of course you'll say as a fan you're allowed to express opinions of a negative nature whereas Pardew should not. Anyway didn't you give up on the playoffs after the Exeter game? Surely anything close to playoff position would be a bonus for you?

looked like Valuev, had the same pace as Valuev, probably has the same footballing ability as Valuev.

good win today, great performance. Have to say I've not seen a worse side (wallsall) in ages though. Nice to see we didn't relax or go back to their level but we really should have been in double figures they were that poor. That's not a moan though but I've seen us play better and lose....

Yep, much better reads than the programme. Cheaper and funnier. Which was the one with the Branfoot cover - On the March or Beautiful South? I used to read all of them but On the March was probably my favourite.

I quite like the Scots and "Flower of Scotland". I imagine that would wind them up much more than "hating" them back though. The Scotts on the other hand are total ******s.

Seems to me as if Chanrai has looked at this and thought "how will I protect my investment?" So he's taken the only obvious tangible thing in the knowledge that if they stay in existence he's guaranteed at least some money and if they don't then he can use the land for other things. To keep this on a saints related theme, how on earth could we suffer what we did last year and then look down the road and see such blatant mis-management on a far larger scale? I think their only hope is to declare themselves a third world country (which isn't far from the truth) and then write off the debt.

Thought Puncheon looked a class above on the albeit brief highlights. I'm looking forward to seeing him play.

No he didn't. That was a combination of the press and his missus trying to wrap a golf club round his head.

But that's the thing - he is just another sportsman. Just happens to be very good at it but ultimately his only worth to us is when he's playing golf. I can see how he can be a role model for his own kids but not to others - surely that should be their own parents, family, teachers etc? The only way any sportsman or celebrity should be used as a role model is in relation to what they are successful at - in Tiger's case it would probably be dedication and practise. You're probably right though about him wanting to protect his "brand" - which really devalues the useless gesture anyway.

I've just seen a bit on the news about Tiger Woods apology and thought about whether it was necessary. I'm sure he should be apologising to his wife and kid(s) but to the world over a private matter....I'm not sure he needs to do that. The same for John Terry (I'm not sure if he has apologised though). It's a bit like when Dianna died and Mrs Windsor was harangued to show some emotion, maybe a tear? It seemed hysterical and over the top to me then and was probably the only time in my life I found myself defending her over what should have been a more private affair. I thought the same when Bill Clinton was nearly impeached over his affair. There are some things I feel should deserve an apology - Blair comes to mind for the war in Iraq. I don't think an apology for an affair or a private matter is needed though and in any case does anyone believe they are doing anything other than pandering to the court of populist opinion because a PR person told them? Thoughts?
