Sky say watching Saints is like watching Brazil. Given Brazil are 0-0, I think more like watching Brazil should be just like watching Southampton.

At the expense of Holmes!! Think the writing may be on the wall for him.

I see the OS is pushing SaintsPlayer again, with "uninterrupted" coverage of the match. So, that will be no drop outs and no going to other games. I have let SaintsPlayer lapse and don't intend to renew until we get a better service than Radio Rodent with trips to Eastleigh, Weymouth and that other team. Bring back Will Can't Cope!!!

Actually the worst part was being reminded 189,994 times that at busy times it was better to book tickets online. Now that was really beginning to **** me off. What sort of crap system though does not put you in a queue rather than just cutting you off, and then to get in the queue apparently several times and being cut off after about 10 minutes. Can't even rely solely on redial with IP phones.

Cheers David. The old memory is seriously letting me down these days. I suspect I was thinking of the Chivers season rather than Mick

You forgot the 3rd IF, that Millwall are on the same points as Huddersfield. So even if we beat Huddersfield and win the 2 games in hand we could still be 11 behind Millwall. Admire everyone's optimism, but the play-offs were a dream before we drew with Exeter. That result coupled with the other results that day ended any realistic possibility of getting to 6th. We will do very well to finish 8th from where we are now. Very well indeed. By all means come back and say told you so at end of season, but reality is no play-offs this season.

Whoever posted the 0271 number, mucho gracio - 10 minutes or so, after 3 hours on the 0800 number and redialling Just hope my Company do not give me a bill for the call Now all I need is some meds for the vertigo in the top tier :cool:

Of course I'm not joking, he didn't sign them, they are not Pardew players. Simples. he can praise them all he likes but they didn't come to SMS because of Pardew. All the others except Davis did. Thats what being a manager's player means.

Agree that they are the most likely, together with James. Not just because of potential but also they are not Pardew players, and so were not brought in as part of his visions. That said I suspect none of them will actually leave.

Imagine it might be quite difficult to find out too much about him. In 2008 he was "Head of Private Banking" at Banque-Hertiage in Zurich. Knowing the way that the Gnomes of Zurich conduct their affairs I would think there is not much in the public domain especially for a head of PRIVATE banking. Before that he was at Credit-Suisse I believe. Seems likely he was moderatley successful, presumably dealt with Herr Liebherr's accounts to have become his friend and confidant.

I think we declared

Could actually argue that League One is very easy this year. There are 7 good teams, 16 total dross and Southampton, good but with a 10 point penalty and a crap start to the season. Fact is the Top 6/7 have been winning week in/week out because they are playing the dross below them consistently. The fixture computer this season threw up a strange set of circumstances where most of the Top 7 are home the same week and away the same week. This means most of them still have to play each other, and is why in the end the number of points for 6th will not be as great as some predict (but will still be too much for us to achieve).

Steve Claridge in realistic assessment of our play-off chances shocker As the man said, it is 6 from 7, and we ain't #7

I thought it was another thread about late goals

Seems to be some discrepancy somewhere, the Football League stats have been updated since todays game and gives Lambert's total as 20, not 21. Looking in different places on the web seems to give several different answers, but the Football League site is presumably the official source. By the way, seem to recall that Davies and Channon were also both near top of goal scoring chart one season back in the 60s, but can't be sure (and that was in the top division and all goals scored for Saints)

Maybe he was sacked at HT, after all we were not 10-0 up.

Late goals are killing us Great win. Still won't make the play-offs though.

Check the Football League site, thats the official place. Other sites have different amounts. Of course now its academic as Lambo has scored

If Barnard gets a 3rd he will be League One top scorer, currently 4 way tie with Lambert, Paynter & Holt

Yes we do, no-one is as stupid as his predecessor (except perhaps Wilde and Storrie Teller)

17 would be more accurate (Huddersfield have 58 now)

Unlikely as they mostly still have to play each other. That said we will not get anywhere near 6th place. We will do very well to get to 8th.

I fully expect AP to be sacked at half-time today unless we are at least 10-0 up. If we are 11th at this time next season your question might be reasonable, but NC is a sensible bloke, he appointed AP for the long term and thankfully is not stupid like his predecessor.

Here's a quote from the BBC site, from the Administrator: Under Premier League rules, clubs that go into administration are deducted nine points. If, as anticipated, the League enforce this rule, Pompey would have a total of seven points - a massive 17 points off safety. However, Andronikou believes the deduction is not necessarily inevitable and hinted he may ask the League to withhold the punishment. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8539422.stm Hypothetical I know, but if this toerag is able to persuade the FA not to impose the punishment, many other Clubs, ourselves included would presumably consider appealing against the similar punishments passed down by the Football League. Of course this is a different competition, and different rules, and is also the reason why the toerag will fail BUT, maybe we should actually be supporting Pompey not getting the 9 point deduction and thus get our 10 points penalty overturned as a result. They will still be relegated and we could be a lot closer to the play-offs. Just a thought, lets support Pompey On second thoughts, naaaaa

Not too keen on the stripes and FlyBe, any chance of getting a white with red sash shirt with no Flybe and this printing on it? Sort of celebrate our 125th a bit early as well. I'm sure we could get some little old grannies to embroider the writing on the shirts so as to keep with the original design of the shirt :cool:
