SNSUN

Only 2 points will separate Palace and Liverpool after this.

I don't like it but the odds are so good I've had a sneaky insurance bet on Villa to win. I don't think they will. I think we have enough about us to see them off in style, and am more than ready to say goodbye to me money. But it's there, just in case. Having said that there's been a few times I've thought we'd slip up this season and haven't. None more so than at Swansea.

Are we going for joint custody of the print? :-D

I sense the start of a war against kwsaint!

Is a black box something you suffer from after a night on the Guinness?

We'll have underachieved. ;-)

I'm open to posting some alcohol fuelled rumblings about SFC, for a salary of £30,000 a year, a company car, pension scheme and all the Grey Goose and Red Bull you can muster.

Part of me does. They lauded it over us when they beat us 4-1 back in our League One days in the cup at SMS. (I was there!) I'd love just one game where our awesome Premier League team of Internationals can play their League Two collection of inadequate youngsters and journeymen, just one game. Then we can lay the rivalry to rest for years.

Obligatory birth year post.... ...yeah right.

Don't worry lads, we've still got the League Cu......erm....Johnstones Paint Tro......erm... ...********.

Ridiculous stuff. Hilarious.

Brilliant! Still never won a tie since they cheated their way to the cup?

As long as the 100,000th post is loling about Portsmouth's FA Cup demise, I'll be satisfied. Come on Aldershot.

Agree. Underused by both club and country though as it stands. I also though Shaw played well. How did Lovren get on?

Scored against us but never played for us. His Blackburn partner in crime on the other hand... Think that should say Celtic... Anyway good for Fraser to get game time. Hart may be number 1 but there's no reason why Fraser can't oust Foster as number 2.

One of the most famous voice actors of all time was christened Wonga. Granted it's lost its charm in the last few years!

The game would be postponed after the two Fonte's on the pitch decide to team up and get their own back on Osvaldo.

It gets a mention in this article... http://www.wsc.co.uk/the-archive/42-Media/9744-keeping-in-touch

Deserves a thread of its own. So many outstanding goals this season. Morgan against Newcastle is close, as is Clyne in the cup against Arsenal, but I'm still going to give it to Pellè against QPR.

I thought Lallana was a shoe in for automatic first XI for England, especially when he played for Saints. I've thought differently since, but I thought he did well against Slovenia second half. Stay fit and he may become the player Liverpool, and England fans, want to see.

A mix of what everyone else has said really. Not expected to do well after the outgoings of the summer; the media writing us off and then almost unanimously retracting their predictions; the whole "doing well in cups because we actually have a manager who takes it seriously" thing; new signings actually unanimously doing well and not headbutting anyone or being the "answer to centre back" signed from under the noses of Liverpool, yet never kicking a ball in anger; scoring well, though helped by the rare 8-0 and 3 own goals (though Manés was Manés); and an injection of pace which Saints fans have wanted for years. Add to that big clubs faltering, and big money signings not pulling their weight, and we have every reason to be smug. £30 million richer too... Then there's the personality of the managers. I much prefer Koeman on that score. Ultimately, we're beating sides we might otherwise have drawn with, and defensively are playing well. Last season there were positions we wanted strengthened. This season, there's not 1 first choice position I would strengthen. Certainly not unless the right player became available at the right price. I feel our first team could challenge anyone, even the big boys. Criticisms of this season? UmmMmmmmm, the lack of home grown talent coming through. JWP was until he got injured, but Targett only features in cups and Reed is largely benched. But on that score we're not helped by 3 leaving in the summer. Understandable. I still wait for the bubble to burst but feel that this team under Koeman is more likely to bounce back from a defeat.

Townsend nominates Wilshere as MOTM.

I know I've slept a lot in the last 24 hours but I've missed this transfer...

Bet he couldn't do that for 90 minutes...

I'm now going into the Villa game hoping for a 0-0 draw. This feels weird.
