It's a terrible decision in that we're now holding our own in the Premier League, having been promoted twice, under Nigel Adkins. Shocking on that score. Adkins had done nothing wrong, was a lovely bloke and a good manager. STABILITY, gone out the window in one fell swoop. OK, maybe in a years time we'll be calling this decision a masterstroke as Pochettino takes us to the brink of the top 4, but right now it feels like a kick in the ********.

I really, really hope this is all bollix. I'm enjoying being a Saints fan at the moment, I understand big changes will happen in the next few years to make us competitive in this league if we stay in it but I didn't expect anything this soon. I like Nigel, he's a cracking bloke and manager and I'd hate to see him go.

Spending a fortune to sign Ramirez. £12 million one summer and a bit after being in League One, and one of the hottest young prospects in Europe. Plus it took away the tag of having Delap as our record signing.

Or a 23:22 announcement tonight...

I'm home now, get announcing.

If he signs, can he wait until 14:30 when I get home from work please, so's I can follow it on here please. Please. And Thanks.

I'd definitely add Cork to the OP's list. Played a bit part in the Olympics but our form improved drastically when he came back into our side after injury. His flexibility in positions surely makes him a candidate for an England spot in the near future, especially with an ageing midfield. Shaw will play for England, but I'm less sure about Clyne. If we stay up this season, build on it, and next season "do an Everton" then I would expect International honours to flow for some of our squad members. (Relegation this season would be catastrophic when you think about it. Back to Frazer, Fox, Chaplow and Hammond next season...)

Two shots on goal for us tonight, two goals scored. Clinical. Benitez is clueless - we had chances. Should score chances. They had 18 shots on goal, 3 were on target. Torres must go down as the biggest waste of money of all time. I'd rather have 50 Rickie Lamberts.

Stunning result - result of the season even though it wasn't a win. Agree with what's been said - "feels like a win" " a free point" etc etc. I'm normally glass half full but have treaded with caution this season - and indeed I saw nothing from this game, so I'm astonished we drew. Triffic. Now for Everton.

The score will be 5-3 to Chelsea. Goalfest.

People using Vauxhall have copped a bad day to travel, especially the rota'd staff. Reports of two dead now, presumably the pilot and one on the ground.

I'm travelling to Mexico in June for my belated honeymoon, and there and back we're supposed to be flying on Thomson's Dreamliner. I expect the issues to be sorted out there, but while I'm looking forward to flying on it, I'd be happy flying on a different plan if there were still doubts. I'm not the greatest of flyers, I must admit.

I don't know if one of you spotted this, and I can't be arsed to trawl back through 8 pages, but a Liverpool fan in Norway on one of their (many!) forums wrote:

I know I started this thread, but some of your injuries are making me feel queasy...

I can see the New Forest ponies running and hiding, for fear that Cortese will use their heads to put in the beds of players that refuse to sign on the dotted line.

He has no Premier League Experience.

I've got a few, all achieved when I was a kid. Got one on my knee from when I was being chased in the school playground by a girl whilst playing kiss chase, slipped forwards somehow, and dug my teeth in my knee. Got one on my forehead from when I ran into the partition seperating changing rooms in a clothes shop at full pelt. (Rendered me unconcious that did.) I got another in my eyebrow (which looks cool) from falling off the climbing frame at school. I got more careful as i got older. So 'fess up...where are yours and how did you get them?

Are you made of copper and tellurium? Because you're CuTe. Well I was going for Gold or Calcium, but in the end I plumped for Neon. I like Neon.

I thought it was funneh. It's funneh cuz it's true.

Swansea have just signed a new attacking wide player, which got me thinking about Nate Dyer. I was surprised to see he's only played 9 times this season after a good season last season. Hypothetically speaking, if the money was right, would YOU have him back at Saints?

I don't know anything about this guy, and I know Liverpool aren't the club they were, but I'd be astonished if we beat Liverpool to the signing of Forren. Two seasons ago in League One - I know it's been said but I still rub my eyes at our progress over the last three years.

Two points in two sentences there - 1) I too loved the 3 for £20 offers, or whatever they have on, to expand my DVD collection, films that I've usually either seen before or wouldn't buy if they weren't on offer. These days though you have LoveFilm, NetFlix, Sky Movies etc etc where you can buy a film on demand without even leaving your home. Sites like these are one of the reasons HMV are going under. Even Tesco has got on board with on demand film - I'm surprised HMV hasn't done the same. 2) I went to two HMV stores just after Christmas to buy my wife a 3DS. HMV's advertised packages were better than Game and other console-based outlets, in that they came with a game I wanted for her and also a charger, which Nintendo don't automatically include. I didn't even care about the colour. "Sorry, we don't have any in stock," came the answer from both outlets. "Oh," says I, "and do you know when you might have any in stock?" "Umm, we don't know that information, they just come in whenever." "So you're advertising a product you don't even have?" "Well we'll have it in eventually." Great. I was also after Ted on DVD which both stores had sold out of. I bit the bullet and went to Game, where I got a good package (not as good as HMV's, but at least they had 3DS's in stock) and also got good information from the guy behind the counter. HMV are a staple of our high streets, and like Woolworths and co before them I'd be gutted to see them close, but so much of what they sell can be bought online now, and with products guaranteed to be in stock too. (I should've bought the 3DS online but I didn't leave myself enough time.)

Watford fans on their forum are talking as if they'd get big money if they were to sell him (between £8-£20 million according to some) but that they're better off keeping him to get promoted. He is on loan right? From Udinese? The parent club that would get any transfer money should he bs sold? I'm not sure what they're on about there.

Nope, but if they did that, I bet the odds would be longer.
