I pledge allegiance to the flag of Markus Liebherr, and to the person for which it stands, one team under Nicola, indivisible, with victory and spirit for all.

Meh. It's a cup we obviously weren't interested in, and it sounds like we lost to a cracking strike. Look for the positives, learn from the negatives, draw a line under it, and move on.

Lucky smoke didn't work. Lucky substitution instead...?

Ok, I'm off. Lucky smoke attempt #1

Lambert on. Woot!

Bart's shyteness vs Blackpool is clearly behind him!

Lambo for Guly?

I'm due a smoke - what time do I go for my lucky smoke? 89 minutes or earlier?

Losing is ghey.

Saints to score on 22 minutes - Lallana.

Am I the only one that thought Bugs Bunny's nemesis was Elmer Fudge?

Newsflash: Harry opens bank account in the cats' name.

Saintsplayer working for me - although I had to refresh it. We win this game IMO. w00T

Maybe if the club adjusted it's pricing for replays (yet another game people can't afford) for a cup competition we're not interested in (Otherwise the strongest team would be out there), more people would come. A tenner a ticket or something similar and I'd have almost definitely driven down for this one. (Not that I've ever had a problem with the pricing before, and I acknowledge the cold may have a big part to do with a low crowd.)

Pretty strong team out tonight. I made a last minute decision NOT to drive down for this one. Which means there'll be goals, and plenty of them.

Igby Goes Down

We've been linked with Defoe in the past, and there were rumours of a Darren Bent/Matt Richards combo.

If you do a deeper scout around on his website, I think you'll find the reason he joined us. You're welcome.

Porteus has far too many letters in it similar to Portsmouth. Double agent IMO.

There was a link on another thread that he's gone to the USA to play for a team in Florida.

As we've told all his loan teams in the past - enjoy your first few games out of him. Whether he's completely changed his attitude for good and is willing to play for this team and give 100% until the end of his contract, I reserve judgement, but a leopard doesn't change his spots overnight. I'm pleased he's been playing well, and long may it continue, but be wary of any changing attitudes he may have.

I work in the ticket offices of the Heathrow group of the Piccadilly Line on't Tube. Which means I'm not much help to anyone, although I can get you all the Oyster wallets you want, and can resolve journeys on an Oyster card. (Which I'm not supposed to do...) I'd like to say I could help you lot out with future Tube closures etc but I usually can't be arsed to find out what's happening until I get to work on the day of said closures. I do, however, give good customer service, so if you ever want to meet a polite Tube worker, see me. (Unless I'm tired, cranky, not getting any, fed up, already been yelled at by a customer, already been yelled at by management, already been yelled at by my missus, too hot, too cold, or can't be arsed.)

Besides football, my favourite sport is Snooker. To play AND watch. Loved it since I was a nipper, though I'm still **** at it. Shaun Murphy is my fave player at the moment. I like most sports, I watch the golf or tennis when it's on the box, like any kind of motor racing too. One sport I don't like is Basketball, not sure why. I'm not a massive fan of Rugby either although it is entertaining to watch.

We'll smash Burnley and all this will be a moot point.
