Just the fact the stage techie turned out the light when they jokingly praised Portsmouth was quality..

Fantastic night last night at the brook last night. Summed up by Nigel Clark himself ".... and just think, you could be stood outside with it ****ing down with rain, listening to U2". And Lost boys were very good!

Which were?

Badboysaint stikes again?

Well done Nigel!

I'd bring on Bart, Holmes and Morgan on 85 mins, if we were winning!

Watch out for crowds.... Walsall supporters were today preparing to invade Southampton for Survival Saturday as the Great Escape sparked a fans’ frenzy. More than 1,500 tickets of the 1,700 allocation have been sold with the Saddlers faithful eager to see Dean Smith’s men complete their stunning Houdini act on the final day of the season.

One adult Ticket if anyone has a spare, please! Email link in my profile.

This. How Hard can it be? But some go on saying next year will be the real test. Because taking a club from 22nd to 2nd with someone else's team doesn't invalidate their opinion that Adkins isn't up to the job of Manager. He's just an idiot Physio.

Where did you hear this? Oh and great coverage on the Football league show. Makes Late kick off look awesome. Which is really saying something!

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2344084,00.html For those who can't be arsed to read it: (Paraphrasing) "Games like this are why we play." "Well up for the game, Very important match." "Oh, and well done to Brighton, even if they are a bunch of Whinging diving (unts who only won the divsion by falling over in the box and time wasting. But Congrats to them."

Exactly, he also saved us in the cup against shrews, in under 5 mins if memory serves.

Gareth Southgate?

This hard hitting Docu-drama should offer some insights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqeexdNZ55c

Id have them over Townsend And Colin Murray/ Gary Neville!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01096md/Late_Kick_Off_South_South_West_and_West_2011_Episode_12/ Bit of Coverage on the promotion race, and how both Rosenior and Murty think that we are ‘nailed on’ for promotion, also talk about our 'magnificent support' (TM Nigel Adkins). Always good to here from Leroy, who I thought was unjustly criticised on here post FLS Saturday, as he's always had a good word to say about us this season, as opposed to 'Human League Hair' Claridge who tends to mumble and navel gaze when saints are mentioned!

Deppo, you won't get anywhere with this one, purely because it's not the beeb that is at the heart of this - It's the unions. Back in the 1960's several camera crews reporting on the still burgeoning live broadcast equipment had been involved in several incidents where untrained news teams had received electrical shocks owing to the levels of moisture at Portsmouth docks. Therefore, Portsmouth crews involved in their local union called for an immediate stop to all news teams reporting from the docks. To ensure that news stories would not be disrupted by this action, Southern Television (as it was known then) and The BBC both agreed to bring in non-union camera operators and reporters from the newly formed Southampton Communications and United Media company. This outraged the Portsmouth workers, many of whom lost their jobs and found it difficult to find work for years to come. This air of hostility spilled over in to the regions local football teams, when the 'imported' crews from Southampton being barracked (and in some cases physically struck) by Portsmouth Home fans who labelled them as SCUM Men. When reported in the local paper, either due to a misheard account or misprint, this was written as ‘Scummer’ a pejorative which stands to this day. This action is still a point of contention in the modern media, shown especially at the sports desk, with only large coverage of Southampton issues being of a negative frame. Even meridian, based in the time as Southampton, were sure to favour Portsmouth (the City and football club) to show they had not forgotten, whilst union members at the BBC ensure that any football highlights are short compared to whatever position the ‘Saints’ hold, and if they do feature a match involving Southampton, the opposition team is mentioned heavily, with little discussion surrounding the Saints. Hope that helps Deppo. Good Luck anyway!

Much better quality than most fan vids, well done! Love the 'Oh **** off' after Barnard yellow card, reminds me of father ted sheep competition spent the morning in sunny Greenwich on the hill, didn't go to the match, but won 150 tahnks to BALLYBRAGA or whatever its name is . Up to second, great stuff all round 1740 onwards.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFqNkIzA_2I

Can't we just do a DellHurst?

Cutting through the hand-holding, it's clear that some people just don't like Cortese. It doesn't matter that he convinced Marcus to buy (and save) the club, for some he is just a 'rat faced foreigner', and always will be. Some people dislike him for the ticket tax, some people don't like it because they used to get their Tummy tickled by Wilde when they were on the board of fans that got Wilde's shares proxied to them, legitimising their stance on how things should be run ( until he disagreed and took them back, lol). Some don't like him for the so-called 'Ticket Tax' (Crime of the century!!!!111111one). And some don't like the way he closed the book the job's for the boys (Lawrie mac), jobs for the girls (Mary Corbett), and Job's for the Club historians (*winky thing here*) So you read a lot of crap, such as: - Cortese Banned Nick Illingsworth FROM THE STADIUM OMG! (A lie) - Cortese Banned the Squad from an official 'Ex Saints' event (Another lie - He didn't, and It wasn't) - Cortese has only as important as a bog cleaner to the club, and he bought a club on the verge of destruction and has invested in plans to build training facilities purely to make money, with no concern for the team or fans (I don't know where to start). These claims are made repeatedly in the hope that they will become 'fact', by repetition, much like 'Lowe only gave Redknapp 90k to spend' or 'Clive Woodward sent us down' so the next thing is "I can't believe any real fans would sing for a chairmen. Not us proper saints fans at any rate", in an effort to put people off. Of course, some actually advocate this regardless, which is ludicrous within itself, and reminds me of 'What have the romans ever done for us'. It's 'cringe worthy' to sing about Cortese? Would we have won the JPT, would we be in second now, would we even have a club? But no, you're right, let your sensibilities only allow you to repeat "Sit down, if you love Pompey" 500 times a match.

Winning at a canter is never a bad thing! And it shows the depth of the squad that 2 goal JQ couldn't get on the pitch tonight! Dickson sounded like a model pro post match regarding team selection, no wonder Puncheon was drummed out for refusing to Play. Reading did us a massive favour by all but killing the skates play off hopes. Oh and Solent read out my text about having the smell of goals and Minted lamb in our nostrils (form a queue for autographs). All in all, good result and a great night. Carry on Nigel and Cortese!

3-2 Saints. At least one overdue pen for us.

Can anybody else only get half an hour, as opposed to the full hour on this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00fmt7m/BBC_Radio_Solent_Sport_The_reaction_02_04_2011/ Oh, and what was the half time entertainment yesterday?
