I look back to how miserable I felt that summer when we were in administration, and seeing players like Drew and McG leave. I wondered where we would hit rock bottom, because it is only from rock bottom that you can start to rebuild again. Thankfully rock bottom was 24th in League One with -10points, and it has only been good since. I sympathise with how other teams fans must feel when they're in a similar state, but clubs shouldn't let their finances run out of control in the first place. We did, and we paid the price. Thankfully for us we were a good enough club to find investment and start the rebuilding process. Plymouth will be ok too, eventually. Time heals all wounds. This feeling we have at present is a whole world away from that feeling two years ago, and even the feeling we had a year ago. I look at our team, and I genuinely think there are few others with the same strength in depth and quality in this league. Two or Three additions and we will be laughing all the way to Summer '12.

Top of the League, we're looking to strengthen an already very good squad with new signings, and the Skates are down the league signing up free transfers just so they have enough players to fill the bench. It's a great time to be a Saints fan. Yes we will eventually lose a game or three, but I'm enjoying each and every game as it comes at the moment. Thank you Markus, Thank You Nicola, Thank you Nigel.

Is it true we can use Saints Player for other clubs? Getting the Norwich stuff up there would mean I could charge my missus half the cost.

We have a smiley for this feeling.

Who?

Half Time. A good first half, now let's see the game out. I'm off to work so here's my contribution for the second half. w00t. Thank you, and goodnight.

Lovely slow OWTS ringing around Oakwell

We are top of the league say we are top of the league

Max Gradel sent off? Good. :-)

No striker on the bench either. I know Guly can slot up there, not sure about De Ridder, but it seems we are light in that department. (I know Barnard is yet to come back from injury, but we are still one short IMO).

I agree. Come on Volks, Wagen we all just get along...

I hope you wiped up afterwards.

Well the transfer fee quoted today, and the main point of my post I forgot to include, is the transfer is quoted as 50k. I bet Rovers wish they'd sold him to us now, is we were indeed after him.

Didn't know where to post this, but I see Chris Lines signed for Wednesday from Bristol Rovers today. Weren't we after him for something like a £1million just two years ago?

Which bodes the question - when will SMS become too small for us...

Perhaps she braids it. I hear she links the braids up to her nipple hair. So are we signing Cheryl Cole?

Olivier St Bernard.

Great, what am I meant to do with this massive lob on?

Sores?

I'm just enjoying every game as it comes at the moment, I don't think a loss would dampen our spirits at the moment, but the way we're playing we get the feeling we can beat anyone on our day. As people have said, Barnsley away will be an interesting test, but how satisfying would it be to see our name on the top of the table for a week or so... Will we start Fox? We should do, but with Harding and Dickson in tow, it's a selection dilemma I wouldn't want. It'll be interesting to see how Adkins handles the multitude of talent he has at his disposal. As for this game, I think we'll beat Barnsley in a fairly tight 2-0 win. (But a draw would be no disgrace.)

Is it my ageing mind or did David Hughes score an overhead kick for us?

My chinchilla has the squits. Yorkshiremen scare me. Saturday's the day I turn into a werewolf. I can't miss Tonight's the Night with the ravishing John Battyman. All valid excuses imo.

****ing extra time. Come on Wednesday. Holloway's a cockle.

I voted wrong on the poll. I wish to change my selection from Maynard to Ebanks-Blake please. As payer of Five English Pounds I feel that my request should be adhered to.
