The FA needs to bring in a rule about a club only having a maximum of one managerial change in a season in my opinion. Clubs wouldn't so readily ditch their managers. Pros and cons to it I guess. Right, home from work, had a quick shower with the missus (it's ok, it's a big shower), now in Saints colours and off to my olds' house to watch the match. Good luck guys, a professional performance would suffice.

Gotta love the power of dreams - just woke up in a great mood, Saints won 7-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday in a performance so good that neutrals were talking about it. Should've been 8 but we missed a penalty.

Hello aap3. (Thought it was an iPhone thing to start with...)

I think we'll get something out of both Brighton and Orient games, as I've mentioned on the other thread, Saints are more likely to win both of those and blow it to one (or god forbid more) of the so called lesser teams.

I still think anything less than 9 wins will equal play-offs. Funny how people are tipping us to lose the Orient and Brighton games - I still think we're better than both those teams, irrespective of Brighton's position and Orient's recent form - and we'll end up blowing it at home against Hartlepool or Bristol Rovers or someone. 12 wins out of 12 would be bloody awesome preparation for an nPC challenge next season. It can be done. Why not?

Even my mum barred me from going round her house and using her Sky because of the fecking Rugby. I informed her that she has 4 TV's in that house, and to watch one of the other's. It worked, so at least I can rush home from work now and watch the match.

When we signed Dean Richards, I thought it was an excellent signing - Bosman's were still in their infancy and to get a player that had been getting rave reviews for Wolves seemed at the time an excellent coup. In addition getting £8.1 million for him after two exceptional seasons was good business on Lowe's part, I have to admit. Other signings that had me chirping at the time were Chaplow's recent permanent transfer, a bargain IMO, Harding's free transfer and (I'll admit) Idiakez's transfer, albeit over the hill, I still thought he'd shine. In hindsight, Mickey Evans' and Pahars' signings were inspired as they saved us from relegation, but I would say the most success we've had with players have been our own youngsters coming through the ranks. Back in the heady Premiership days, we seemingly always sucked at spending money. After all, who'd rate Delap and Delgado as good transfers?

After a terrible week with only one winner on the first day, I'm pinning all my hopes on Kauto Star in the Gold Cup. Every last penny I had in my Ladbrokes account is on this horse now, he may be older but I've always admired him, a horse people will talk about long after he retires. Go on Kauto, and Ruby!

I watched it on my phone, and my phone froze three seconds into the song. I can't thank HTC enough, that was more than I could take. Music? Nope.

Big bucks is evens for the 3:40, so an each way call in that race would be more sensible. Any ideas?

2:05 Duke of Lucca or Alfie Spinner e/w, I'm undecided as of yet. Mike make a last minute judgement call based on odds. 2:40 Voy por Ustedes e/w and/or Poquelin to win. Undecided if I'll bet on the others, I'm taking it easy after an expensive two days...

Me: 1) **** at football. 2) Fat AND unfit. 3) Never played for Saints. Ok, maybe it doesn't quite fit the criteria...

Well, people touch the Ted Bates statue for luck before a match, it seems the chance for MJ to be touched didn't die with him...

A win's a win. New signing hattrick in a 3-0 win.

Years of supporting Saints have made many of us pessimists, convinced we'll buckle when the going gets tough. I'm one of them, sitting on the edge of my seat during games, even with a two goal cushion, half expecting Saints to blow it. Yet for some reason, I have confidence this season that we'll do it, make second place. Ok, it will be by the skin of our teeth, and we'll have to pull out our best form in years, but I have an inkling this could be our year. We have too much to lose to rely on the play-offs. Knowing Saints though, it may go down to a last day decider, but as long as we're ahead either on points or goal difference before that game, I'm confident in our ability to finish the season off with a win. Glass half full? I feel like it at the moment. For some reason.

Chris Woods 1: Old and past it. 2: Conceded 7 goals in 1 match. 3: Broke his leg and (wisely) disappeared.

Already fallen. Sigh.

I've done Khyber Kim e/w:twisted:

14:40 Adam's Island e/w (though I've hardly bet anything, I wasn't going to bet on this race.)

YES!!! Stuck a last minute bet on my namesake Captain Chris, £5 to win at 8/1. I hardly ever bet on horses to win, so chuffed with that.

Shyte. 14:05 Dan Breen e/w

Yay, my favourite timme of the year to spunk my money awqay in pointless fashion, let's see who I annoy with my choices... First off, 13:30. Recession Proof

Current squad - deadwood + strengthening x lots of luck = nPC title 2011-2012

This lack of clean sheets is worrying...
