SNSUN

My dad works at West Ruislip on the Tube (Like father like son...) and has a car park there. It's a straight shot on the National Rail to Wembley Stadium Train Station, which of course will be open on the day. Get there earlyish because it fills up quick.

I hadn't bought my other half a Valentines card, so asked which one she'd like. Didn't go down too well, although I did buy her one of my own choosing eventually.

True, attack is the best form of defence, but I do think he could've sacrificed Antonio for James. James is a decent passer of the ball, but through his stints at right back he also has a defensive side to his game. Antonio had a good first half I thought but faded in the second. (As he did at MK Dons in midweek)

Partly, yes! Since we're been together (four years!) Saints have the upper hand on Norwich if memory serves. A draw would most definitely give me the most peace! (Although when Saints win I get the silent treatment for a day or so, which is actually sweet bliss!)

Davis Semi Fonte Seaborne Harding Punch Hammond Morgan Lallana Waigo Lambert Subs: Bart, James, Jaidi, Antonio, Mills, Barnard, Holmes. Looks ok to me.

I thought it was strange that Lambert was taking the set pieces, but he is very good at them. James and Harding are the other set piece takers, but with James out of the side currently there is very little option.

Norwich are quality. Lambert took over a team low on morale and kicked their arses so hard that they all stepped up. We have a fresh team, a team with the cup tied players, and a team that on their day can beat anyone in this league. ANYONE. There's no point whatsoever in going into this game with a defeat mentality. Forget the POmpey score, push it to the back of our minds, or at least use the hurt to spur us on. We CAN beat Norwich, it won't be easy, but it's possible. That all said, I'd still take a draw in this game.

No, I was about three to the left of that guy I think, and I'm much younger! Seat 800 was me. The camera was a pain in the arse though, restricted view of the action, although most of that was the Pompey goals, so ITV actually did me a bit of a favour...

He was stood in front of me in the Kingsland at half time. Anything to get on TV! I didn't see any trouble in the Kingsland, but then I was in row "A" so didn't really have much of a viewpoint.

We had defensive players on the bench that perhaps should've been used, but I don't necessarily blame Pardew. Portsmouth's attackers were of a different class, and we were outplayed. Even making changes and shutting up shop wouldn't necessarily have guaranteed us a win or draw. Our Centre backs have a combined age of, what, 70?, and the legs went. Pardew addressed this defensive problem with the signing of Seaborne, Fonte and Semi. Give them time, they will come good, and have been unfortunate with the league being sidetracked. Now we're out of the FA Cup, with a final date at Wembley guaranteed in the JPT, we can truly concentrate on the league games with 100% concentration.

Just got in from my Valentines weekend in Southampton with the girlfriend. Man we did a lot of walking, for two fat people. Stayed in the Premier Inn, walking towards the town centre at about half ten on Saturday morning, we saw a load of the Skate fans being led towards the stadium. They then broke free of their Police captors and started running towards me and my other half (me in full Saints regalia), so I was pleased when they turned down New Road! Not that I was a bit scared, but I don't think the two of us would've stood much of a chance against the 50 or so Skates! Got to the game, didn't see a lot of trouble before the match. As for the game, I thought it was evenly balanced, we were better in the first half, and half of the second, but it was clear our back line is getting on in years as the legs seemed to go. Thought Lallana was superb, my MOTM for the second game in a row, though I think Pardew should perhaps have put James on in Antonio's place as we were getting murdered down the right. Favourite chant of the day was "You're Not Singing Anymore" after our equaliser but I refused to acknowledge the Skate chants! We walked back to the hotel after the game and watched the aftermath from our bedroom window. It didn't look like there was too much trouble, although some Saints fans got turned on in the Six Dials subway by the look of things. I missed all the St Mary's ruckus though. 4-1 is a bitter pill to take, a score we're becoming all too familiar with in this fixture. Will we get another chance for a re-match?

You'll be in the tabloids as the bloke who got his nuts tattooed incorrectly...

Be thankful. I never get ID'd anymore. I'm only 29 and it sucks. I must have one of those "been through the mill" type faces. And a beer gut that advertises 12 years of drinking...

Heart should ALWAYS overrule head for games like this. Head says loss, heart says victory. VICTORY SHALL BE OURS!!! 1-0.

Not just for Saturday, but for every game I attend, I will be holding my Matt Le Tiss Corinthians figure I got from 15 years ago. We haven't yet lost when I've taken it, and the one time I didn't, we lost 3-2 at home to Brizzle Rovers. (Yes, I had it against MK Dons the other night too!) It's a good luck charm until it proves otherwise...

If we win, it HAS to be Kelvin. Our longest serving player and consistant performer, and CLUB captain. (and the safest pair of hands with that damn trophy...)

Everyone round to Seanos gaff for a booze up! There's still lovely looking lady types sitting on the wall outside. (I'm still young enough to say that without being a "perverted old man"... :-D)

I'm as hard as a marshmallow, but even I'd not shy away from helping out a Saints supporting stranger. I've got your backs guys. (So ****ing make sure you've got mine!)

Bloody looking forward to it. I managed to persuade my Norwich -supporting girlfriend to spend the whole weekend in Southampton (as a Valentines/anniversary getaway!) rather than Paris. She must reallllly love me. What a game this'll be. We'll have the weakened team, they'll have a weakened team, so I'm not expecting it to be a pretty game, in fact it could well boil over. I hope our lads can keep their heads, we don't want any suspensions. We will win this. We have to. No Saints fan in their right minds would choose their head over their heart in predicting the outcome of this game. This match is all about heart. WE WILL WIN THIS. Anything other than a win can be dealt with after the game with copius amounts of alcohol. (Which incidentally is what we'll be doing anyway if we win.) :-) 1-0 the Saints, bring on Round 6.

I'll walk to Wembley if I have to! (Although I live in Egham and work for LUL so it's simples for me to get there.)

12 fingers on each hand, drool emanating from their mouths and fish wrapped around their ****s is a bit of a giveaway btf. ;-)

I have it on good authority that Joe Cole's willy looks like a strawberry lace. It's not short, it's thin.

It should have been a red, but the ref was very lenient with him. A stupid move by Thomas, you don't go shoving players 20 yards away when you're already on a booking. He wouldn't have cost us the match though, we were in a higher gear than them. I'd still play him Saturday, but he's a seasoned pro, and should know better.

What a brilliant night. I was my first solo trip to St Mary's, and I was loving every second, singing my heart out in the Chapel. I didn't even notice how cold it was, singing "We're going to Wemberley" was a special moment. A great team performance, we looked a little shaky defensively, but otherwise ok. I haven't got time to do the ratings, but I thought Lallana played better than I've ever seen him play, Waigo was a handful up front, though was a bit hit and miss, Lambert was solid as ever and a good comeback for Hammond. Thomas nearly lost it at the end, I was sure that sending off was going to lead to a Red card which would have buggered us up a bit for Saturday, but the ref, who was poor IMO was, for once, lenient with him. Looking forward to Wembley, I'm getting the day off even if tickets prove hard to come by. I'll beg steal or borrow dammit!
