How about keeping our best players and then take it from there. We've not had to sell anyone good for a while now. Would be nice to keep it that way.

I also know I'd have picked over a grand if I ain't split that bet with you. You jinxed it. Derby v Gillingham - remember it?

1/5 odds you pick up 89.15 1/4 odds you pick up 150.66 Could be you have a mixture of 1/4 & 1/5? - obviously then it'll be somewhere in between these amounts. You'd have got 9,405 as the win part of this. What definitely doesn't happen is that you get 1/4 (or 1/5) of this total. It doesn't work like that. 150.66 is the most you'll be picking up. Better than nothing. Fair play having Saints as one of the choices.

Yeah I think so. The MLS does have a salary cap. It would be interesting to see what would happen if this was abolished & some seriously rich people took over some clubs. Would 'I've always wanted to play for Man City' turn into 'I've always wanted to play for the Chicago Fire'? Would most Americans know or care? Probably not.

Sat Aug 13 2011. Barnsley 0 Saints 1. The last ditch defending made it 2 games, 2 wins. We struggled but won to stay in the top 2 and stayed there all season. The 5-2 @ Ipswich shortly afterwards may have made more headlines but this 1-0 in the 2nd game cemented the season for me.

This is how it was reported on USA TV (with 3 of the goals). Complete with South-Hampton, Richard Lambert and a great Benny Hill reference when they are laughing at the pitch invasion. [video=youtube;ryxtMmpdH-o]

Here's a couple at the end of the game. Quality scenes.

Does 'gay boy in the sunglasses' still travel away with Coventry? Anyone else remember that incident? Saints v Cov - night game down The Dell when the away fans were in the East Stand. It was funny for about a minute. Just as the chant got going properly Cov went and scored. He got the last laugh.

Both the Saints & West Ham games are live on foxsoccer.tv (AKA FoxSoccer2Go as they are now calling it) Saints on the TV and West Ham on the computer for me. Well until Saints go a few goals up then who will care about what West Ham are doing...

I grabbed this pic earlier to say exactly the same thing. I'm sure the bloke in question has heard it all before but hey - I bet he's got a few drinks out of it in the past...

http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccerplus/tvschedule Fret not - we're listed as live on FSP with the West Ham game being shown on delay. Roll on Saturday morning...

Maybe... I'll def have a quiet Friday night and see what happens from there. A 7.30am KO does suck. Do you lot still go round Mr G's place to get relaxed pre-game? What are your pre/post match pubs of choice now? Never know - may see you in one on Saturday. Would be good...

7.30am where I am. A bit of a sucky time but not as bad as 4.30am if you live on the West Coast of the USA. What do you do there? Stay up all night or get up early? Recent SFC TV games have sucked (including Leicester last night). Surely this one will have a happy ending though.

I wonder what the actual stats are for a game where one team needs to win and the other has nothing to play for? I always remember the Fulham v Norwich game from a few years back. Norwich had to win to stay up. They took 1000's to Craven Cottage. The bookies had slashed Norwich to odds-on to win. What could go wrong v Fulham who had long since started to book their summer holidays? Fulham won 6-0. Leicester are no mugs. The home crowd will be up for it. If you can't go up yourself then stopping someone else from doing so is the next best thing. I'm quietly confident that Saints will clinch promotion tonight.

The only way I'll say 'nice one Reading' is if they finish 2nd this season. Hate them as much as any other team. Why the love? Did you all cheer their goal v Forest last night? Strange.

LV's time is the time it is being shown on Fox Soccer Plus. 1pm PT / 4pm ET. It is being shown with a delay. Your times are the actual kick-off. To watch it then you need to use foxsoccer.tv or find another stream. It ain't live on TV in the USA. All still way better than nothing. Enjoy everyone.

Yeah it's been good this season. Can't see this one moving to live on FSP as there is an Italian game already scheduled to be on at the same time. Game is live on foxsoccer.tv though. Wish the Pboro game was on tomorrow but there is no sign of any Championship games being shown. Gonna have to be Solent for this one. Win tomorrow and I think wins will follow v Mboro and Coventry. It's some time shortly after this that 'USA TV to stop showing English Premier League football' becomes the headline. It best not!

Actually there are 7 in total.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_one-club_men To be included: Been at club for minimum of ten years. Loan spells at other teams disqualify players from being counted in the list. In this list there are 6 Southampton players. Matt Le Tissier is an obvious one. Without clicking the link can you name the other 5?

You lot enjoy! Us hillbillys have to tape it, avoid it for a couple of hours and watch it when we get home. Can think of worse things to be doing though & surely this game has to better than the Leicester one earlier in the season. I sense a famous 4-0 SFC win.

Can the season finish now? The AL East is looking mighty fine with Liverpool & Man Utd down the bottom without a win between them: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/standings/index.jsp?tcid=mm_mlb_standings I wonder what team the Liebherr's will take over? I reckon they should go for the White Sox and rename them the Chicago Red 'n' White Sox. I'd support them.

Come on youuuuu Reds. An easy win that was clinically finished off. 1 down. 161 to go. I reckon the Reds can def win the NL Central. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/schedule/?tcid=mm_mlb_schedule#date=08/08/2012 On Fri Aug 10 Reds @ Cubs at 2.20pm. Athletics @ White Sox 8.10pm. Both grounds are on the Red CTA (tube) line so easy to get between the 2. Anyone up for a double header in Chicago then? Broncos @ Bears in the 1st pre-season game is down for one day 9-13 Aug. Hoping it's not on that Friday so could tie that in with the trip as well. Just a shame the Chicago Fire are away that weekend or could have praps have chucked that in there as well.

You my sir are a top man! That code works. You get a free month. The only half-catch is that you have to remember to unsubscribe just before it runs out - or else you'll end up paying for an annual subscription. This is no probs though. I have subscribed for the $10 a month trial & easily un-subscribed a couple of times before. You just press the button - not need to call them and/or your bank etc. Nice one. Think I'll watch the West Ham v Reading game now.

I just noticed that as well. What this usually means is that the game will be shown live on foxsoccer.tv. It's not on there at the mo but often they add them nearer the time. Here's hoping. If it ain't then can I avoid the score for 34 hours? I'd be very tempted to do this. BobbyBoy? You're an 'oosier as well then? I thought I was the only SFC fan here. Know any others?

What pub is that Cincy? Will they have the sound on? Truck - Malc lived on the East Coast so I reckon sometimes it was easier for him to get to St Marys than it was for us to get to it from Totton. Running for them buses ain't good for you ya know...
