Great news for the players and the club. Further recognition for a fantastic season

Great news - used to work with his granddad.

FACup for me, great day out, win a trophy, qualify for a European competition

Great day, great weekend

Very sad news. RIP

Promotion from the Championship - at the start of the season I was expecting mid table obscurity (and stability) as I didn't think we'd strengthened the team enough ... shows what I know about football (and very happy to have been proved wrong).

Great news. I think he's really steadied the ship at the back.

Lambert and Shaw for me.

Great first half, just worried that we didn't score as Everton are bound to step it up 2nd half.

We'll this thread has got me chuckling. Really hope we don't wave the hankie's

Welcome to the club, hope you have a great career here. We will all get behind you once we all get over the shock of today's other news - sure you can understand.

Thanks Nigel for all you've done for The Saints. I loved the positivity you always showed but also kept everybody grounded - draw a line under each result, learn from it, move on to the next one. All the best for the future

Madness. Just can't believe it. Thanks to NA for all his great work

Guly could be another autograph on my Saints convict shirt ... member of family works for the probation service and gets their autographs for me.

Was hoping for something yesterday, but when you think about it Wigan were THE form team at the back end of last season, so if we have nothing after 4 games I won't be surprised. Really hope we are very busy in the transfer market next week as we need to strengthen and really believe we will

Great performance this afternoon - keep performing like that and we should be ok this season

Can't believe this, really thought we'd get spanked today ... and it's my birthday.

I'm hoping to pay on the night too - doing some work down there at the moment

What about Henessey at Wolves or Bogdan from Bolton?

I'd rather be where we are than Reading or West Ham, but still incredibly nervous ... I keep expecting it to all go horribly wrong.

I've voted for champions. Really, really hope we achieve it - would be great to celebrate in this part of Hampshire :-)

I remember that game against Newcastle - when the 3rd one went in I was standing on my chair screaming incoherently and I knew that we were going to stay up from that point onwards.

Chapel for me when I can get there

Still 8 pages short of the Lee thread and we got him in the end ...

Thanks for the hahasports link, managed to watch the last 15 minutes or so. We looked really good - need to carry it forward and we've got some season defining matches coming up in the next few weeks - Leicester, West Ham, Cardiff and Birmingham. If we're on song and fully fit we should be OK, but I've been watching Saints too long to be relaxed about them.
