SNSUN

We want 8!!!

I see NewsNow has this thread linked on their Southampton page. Crap, Boobs, Fart. There, I bet very few threads that NewsNow publicises has that written on them... ...or Southampton 5, Portsmouth 0 for that matter... :-D

What's that about the Sunderland game? :-) I think the key injury is Boruc. Chambers for Clyne is a decent back-up, as is Cork, Davis, JWP and even Reed covering Morgan and Victor. (Although it is harsh to lose our entire first choice central midfield.) I'm not convinced by Gazzaniga, but if anything this little injury spell has done, is highlight what positions need strengthening before long.

Richie Barker masters the "Rabbit caught in the headlights" look perfectly, 3 seconds after he glances down at the League Two table.

I wonder if Bradley will get booed at the next Skate game, or whether it's simply a select few cretins who are the vocal minority that have a problem with it...

Sure. Replacement for Clyne when United come in with a £35 million bid. :-) (I was joking about the OP)

PLay them off the park, beat them handsomely, and put in offers for Ings and Trippier at the final whistle. Cushty.

+1. Look at our run to the 2003 final. Spurs aside (which we anihilated anyway), we played lower league opposition all the way through the competition. (Despite making hard work of Millwall...)

Just like the followers of Jesus Christ tried to touch him to heal their ills, perhaps Sonny Bradley was touching Lallana in the hope some of his talent would pass into him. Is that a decent metaphor for the incident? :-D

I'm surprised anyone associated with the Skates, player or fan, even has access to Twitter, be it on a phone, tablet or computer. I thought they still communicated by etching drawings on the walls of caves.

Not quaint per se, the wife and I tend to do the cheapies like EasyHotel (which was slightly better than we thought it would be), Travelodge or Premier Inns, but we did have a lovely one night stay at the Radisson Blu on Seven Dials. To be fair, we were upgraded twice to a huge room, but the bed was the best I've EVER slept on.

Where were all these talented youngsters when we were relying on the Youth in the Championship relegation season! If only our academy had been as good then as it is now! (Although to be fair to the Academy it was the glut of crap we signed that was more responsible for our fate that season!) A great point today - more than most of us thought we'd get!

This was excellent psychic foresight from true Englishman Nigel Adkins - he knew England were going to draw Uruguay, so he signed up Gaston, Uruguay's best young talent, in order to ruin him. It's working. :-)

Awww what crappy news is this? No Wanyama? No Morgan? Our entire defensive midfield ripped from our line up. Sure we have cover in the shapes of Cork, Davis, JWP and Reed but they're not in the class of Morgan/Victor. They'll be a massive loss. No Clyne is a loss too, now we truly get to see what Chambers has to offer. No Boruc for a couple of months too - that's a massive loss when you look at what we have instead of him. How long's Fonte out for? I never thought we'd be so keen to get him back in the first team!

I don't even know what Math is. I know what Maths is... :-D *Pedant alert*

So if I show my girlfriend a positive pregnancy test, she'll agree to marry me? :-D

I am happy to announce that the wind cleared the leaves away in the back garden again. This happened during the "great storm" recently too, and is most welcomed.

It's windy both outside and inside my house here near Windsor. I can't smell the wind outside but the wind inside is rank.

91% which is annoying because I pride myself of the use of good grammar. It was "year's" and "years" that I was uncertain of.

We're **** and we know we are, we're ****, and we know we are........

I work for the Tube, and even I want to chuck myself under a train some days...

Kelvin for me, everytime. But it's like asking whether you want your testes chopped off with a knife or a sword - either way, you're going to lose.

The signings of Lundekvam, Ostenstadt and Berkovic helped too. If anything, with those three on board, I still think we underachieved that season. It's still one of my favourite seasons in memory though, until Mr Liebherr bought us...

I don't know who Al is, but he's getting a lot of praise on this thread. As long as it's not McLoughlin, we'll be fine.
