They're booing Clyne. Bastards.

How I've missed them.

What a terrible penalty! Right at Kevin. Bugger me up the bumhole that was a celebration moment!!!

Saved!!!

City penalty. ****.

One sixth of the way through the game. Contented so far. City coming into it though.

Dzeko on. WHO? (Does the traditional St Mary's away team substitute chant from the comfort of his leather recliner.)

Aguero off. That can only be positive.

Should have had a free kick there, Morgan shoots wide.

10 minutes gone without conceding. Adkins is a genius.

Saints fans giving it the biggun

Clyne showed his pace on Aguero. I like what I see of him already, even if he made the mistake initially.

5 mins gone and 0-0. We just need another 17 more like it.

Great work from Clyne

****ting myself, if I'm honest. We still using nuns this season?

Sunderland are in talks with Man City over a £10 million bid for winger Adam Johnson. At that price, HCDAJFU. Worth a whisper in the sheik's ear today?

The tough decision for Cortese is that if we go down this season, who better to try and get us back up than the man that led us to the Premier League in the first place. Of course if we're heading for relegation, he won't be here long anyway. If he does get the sack, we'll all be gutted, but I'd be excited to see someone brought in that could attract bigger names, although Cortese seems to be doing OK by himself based on recent events. I really hope Nigel can be a success here and keep his position for a long time to come.

I hope that's a joke, the guy's tiny! Looking forward to it, but perhaps, as it's Man City and we're more than likely destined to lose, not as much as I should be. Still, I hope we give them a game. Kelvin to be MOTM with some wunderbar saves, but losing 4-1 in the end. Adam with the consolation.

If we sign Phillips, I'll be happy for Saints, I won't think anything of Holloway's woes. Yes it sucks to lose one of your best players. It sucked when we lost Oxo, but we were financially compensated and Blackpool will be too. £6 million would give the Blackpool fans a pretty exciting end to the transfer window.

:-D So that'll be him signing for Man City on Monday then.

I'd love us to sign Phillips and rub it in Holloway's weasly face.

I was just re-iterating it. I got caught up in the excitement yesterday, I've read every page of this thread! (I cannot say the same for the Skates thread, although I did try initially.) Even dreams aren't THAT good. I would take One CB and one Winger as a minimum but maybe it's our just reward for years of faithful support... I'd use Hedgehog's time machine to move to 11pm on August 31st. This could be the longest 2 weeks of our lives.

Skates still got a point though, won't mean anything when they're folded though. If I were a League One manager, I'd rest my star players knowing that particular result won't count at the end of the season!

I do think we'll get tonked tomorrow but at least we've got a few friends down the bottom end of the table. I maintain that 2 or 3 points after the first 4 games would be brilliant, any more than that would be fantastic.

Horses head in the Bologna chairman's bed? Would that work?
