Really don't see that there is much that needs to be changed. I would probably agree that Semi is the weakest link, but even he would be OK in the NPC I suspect. More of a case of strengthening the depth of the squad. A new CM is a must to give some serious competition and alternative, otherwise this team would do fine, certainly based on last night's evidence. I think Pulis may struggle though. Have to say though that I don't think we will do it. Oh one other shout, perhaps Spiderman should be Skipper, then we would have Captain Morgan, that would keep the spirits up

Would be fun if we could beat the all-time record of 47

1957-58. Goal difference was 40 (112-72) and we finished 6th in Div3 with 76 points (allowing for change from 2 pts for a win to 3 since then) - W22 D10 L14 Best ever goal difference was +47 (68-21) when we won the Div 3 South (1921-22)

Steady on nipper, old people like 2-3-5, none of this modern 4-4-2 ******. And whats wrong with driving in the middle of motorways when the road is empty? Can't remember last time I saw an empty motorway though to be fair. Its a bloody relief for some of us not to be stuck behind the bloody red flag any more

Is Chris Nicholl still connected with the Saddlers? Perhaps he is urging them on.

We've never drawn or lost when he has scored either (need to find some wood to touch)

"Free kick awarded for an unfair challenge on Adam Lallana by Jeff Hughes. Jon Otsemobor crosses the ball from the free kick right-footed from left wing, save made by Kelvin Davis" [bBC] Feck me that must have been a bad cross

Someone's hijacked Alp's computer again. I wonder if he knows?

Just out of interest, they scored from a pen, yet the stats say 0 shots on target for the Gas, how does that work?

Interesting that. At one stage yesterday after one particular run, he looked absolutely ****ged out, and stood with his hands on his hips looking like he was having difficulty recovering from the exertion for quite a long time. He was clearly struggling, and made no attempt to get back. Thats not a criticism by the way, simply an observation made at the time before I was aware of the stat you refer to.

And the Pompey supporters are even worse. Hose the whole stadium down in my opinion. Skates and Yids, I just wasted 2 hours of my life hoping the Spuds would thump the Skates, despite the best efforts of Bale and Crouch, Spuds were fecking atrocious. Oh well, Chelski towin the FA Cup again (and I only dislike them a little less than the others, 3 most loathed teams for me).

Of course a decision can be made at Christmas. If we are not in the Top 6 or within spitting distance at that point then things will have gone awry and it will be obvious that AP is not the man for the job. At that point we really should be in the Top 2 (really should be top). You have to make decisions at that point before the transfer window, otherwise the opportunity to change things is lost. The 5 year plan requires that we get promoted next season at worst. If we don't look like we are going to achieve that by Christmas then NC should and will act. All that said I am supremely confident that this will not be an issue and that we will be in the Top 2 at Christmas (in fact I would be surprised if we are not top). If we bomb after that like Leeds it wil obviously be a major blow, but even now I still think Leeds wll be in the "nPower are **** League" next season and not League 1.

That was the old ground, Huish. They moved to Huish Park in 1990.

A lot of ifs I know, but this time next week theoretically we could be 2 points behind Huddersfield and Colchester with a game in hand :smt107 I can see Huddersfield losing to Millwall, and Colchester losing both games, the big problem though is us winning 2 aways in a week, The Gas will be tough.

Interesting that Barnard is on the bench, good to see Connolly back as well, hopefully all is OK with him now (whatever the issue was). Can't be bad having Barnard, Connolly and Papa on the bench

Think I'll go for 77 points. The BBC will then correct the typo and it will be 76 and we will miss out.

Anyone able to edit the 2nd YouTube clip, brilliant clip ruined by the image of the evil witch, never realised it was at the game. Takes some of the shine off what was probably greatest day of my life.

Jack Charlton said it was onside, so it was onside. Record books say we won 1-0, it was onside. 25 million cases where Manure get decisions for them, one against and it is disputed. Teacher must be a Manure supporter, easily checked, has he got an Estuary accent?

Oh FFS, what sort of dicks are on this board these days? Do you actually know anything about who we are talking about here, his background, his current state? Nah, thought not. If you've got nothing useful to add, then why bother posting. Jeez.

Read the OP, Ron already has a DVD player, last thing he needs is to buy another one even if dirt cheap.

They need to make sure its the correct format. Region Code is different in the US, if there is one set.

They knew he could throw it a long way, but didn't realise that distance wasn't the key, it was actually power. His throws these days are very different to the old days, they are thrown in with power, rather than looped in as before, different trajectory, different effect. With us, defenders saw the throws coming, sat down had a picnic, followed by a litlle nap and then got up to head it away as it descended with snow on it. He seldom lobs throws these days.

I hope only if we have failed to get into 6th. Otherwise forget it, we will have 2 or 3 more critical games to play. Why do we need to parade it anyway, didn't 45k+ Saints see it paraded at Wembley (apart from the twonks who left early of course).

Would have been inappropriate today. Anyway, 45K+ Saints supporters saw them parade the trophy at Wembley, why parade it to 21000, most of whom were probably at W? The target, however distant, is 6th place, parading the JPT is not on the radar at the moment.

For the first time the Lowe factor has now kicked in, we would be in the play-offs if the **** had ensured we went into Admin earlier.
