Lee's earned his place with THAT goal, but I must say it doesn't always pan out like that, and I can see Adkins even keeping faith with Sharp, or putting Connolly or Guly in. I hope not, as I really want Lee to settle here and come good. Our right wing has gone from suspect to fantastic in a matter of a month. Guly will most likely be utilised there rather than up front now we have Lee and Sharp, Puncheon needs to be kept happy, De Ridder has a contribution to make and Chaplow keeps playing himself into contention too. With Lallana undroppable, it's not like they can even switch to start on the left! Something's gotta give, but what a pleasant headache for Adkins.

I like Harding, he's a good professional and a hard worker, and he was one of my favourite players last season, but Fox is a step up in class. Fox could play in the Premiership. Harding couldn't. (Well he could but he'd be on a par for effectiveness as Stephen Crainey.) Having never seen Dickson play, I avoid judging him, but it's obvious he'd not in Adkins' plans. Whatever league we're in next season, I reckon we'll see Harding more and more phased out, and Shaw more and more phased in. As for the "if we go up I could see the whole backline being changed thing", I think that we'll see Fox, Fonte and Jos for a while to come yet. Martin will stick around as cover too. Richardson would be the one I could see being replaced eventually, but I think Adkins has one eye on Stephens and Shaw being the full backs eventually.

I am ALL ABOUT long hot bubble baths. The trouble is, the hot water tank in our house is quite small, and I can only fill up half a bath, so it doesn't really last longer than an hour. I have mannish tastes in TV, although I did like that Pushing Daisies show that was on a couple of years ago. I do enjoy smelling flowers, I'm not sure if that's weird. Oh, two of my favourite albums of all time are Alicia's Attic "Alicia Rules The World", and Alanis Morrisette's "Jagged Little Pill".

I do shiftwork, she does housework. On the odd weekends I'm off, I go drinking, she does housework. She's going to make a good wife.

I'd love it if Billy Sharp got us promoted this season over West Ham. So what, he might not make it in the Premier League - you're not there yet you over-confident cocky East Londoners. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I'd love it if they don't go up this season. Up **** creek without a paddle.

Hattrick of own goals gets lolz aplenty. Bridcutt needs one more for a hattrick. I wish I were watching this.

"Could pay a fine of up to £1000 and legal fees". Well, as he's nearly saved that much in fees over the years, it pays to cheat!

Let's just say a friend of mine tried it, and it stang for days.

Sadly, my "Let's Smash 'Em" idea was for the West Ham game. And we didn't, results-wise at least.

Martin with a bit of a limp wrist there...

Watford away is a tricky one to predict. On one hand, they've been inconsistant all season, and we're better than them, but they have it in them to win at home. That said, I think Blackpool will beat West Ham on Tuesday, and so a draw would be a good result. As for the rest of the season? Stay injury free, and hope Lallana continues his form which makes him the best player in the league, and we'll walk it. Only we can throw promotion away...

Went there in '94. My memory of the place is going to this theme park/water park hybrid and seeing a condom. Oh, and my friend lives in Armadale, which she calls Armpit, and can't wait to move away. So I guess you shouldn't live there.

Top of the League, we're top of the league, we are Southampton, we're top of the league...

The guy that punches the parrots when we suck.

Afternoon all! Sorry for my late arrivak, just got in from work. I cannot believe the score, does it sound like we're back to our best? Oh, and pleased for Lee too!

Oh, and Happy Birthday Saint Clark!

Greed won out. I hadn't expected Senor Clark to be so quick on the ball! Friday 13th! It's a sign.

Favouritism from Clarky there! :-D

Bump

I'm going to auction my services, no reserve, bidding ends when the Mods realise what carnage has been caused.

Exactly. So up their arses are they, that they believed the title should be theirs before the season had even begun. They hate us this season because we've ******ed on their parade, and IMO will continue to do so until the season's end.
