SNSUN

Ask me again on February 1st.

Well, it's a game of opinions, and I thought Lallana had quite a good game. Ok, he's not the Lallana that started the season, and by his and our own standards this was an average performance for him, but I still thought he showed flashes of himself, and by and large did work hard. At one point he berated Fox for not playing the simple pass to him. He'll come good, hopefully next week. Harding was far better than Fox when he came on. A good cameo from Dan, and I hope it's won him his place next week. Morgan was class today I thought. I' m not his biggest fan but I was impressed. Hammond did little, Cork was ok, Hammond needs to make way next week IMO, perhaps to give Holmes a chance on the left. All in all we did play well, and should have won, were it not for Bart muffing it up. Blackpool weren't all that, although they have the makings of a good team. It's clear that we're missing Chaplow and Connolly, but it's useful that it's highlighted our weak squad before the window. Oh, and thanks to today's results and barring a freak result in the Wham game next Saturday, Saints fans can sing "Top of the League" to the Pompey fans next week.

Never cheered so loudly for a Saints goal, even my missus was screaming at our second! Cold day but that warmed me up. Bart couldn't catch Gonnorhea in a pompey brothel.

Harding back up keeper imo. He's taller than people think!

Beat Blackpool. Beating Pompey is a given anyway.

Gonna lose? Then do a bet, double chance, on Blackpool and the draw. Financially compensated if we lose or draw.£1000 should be a minimum bet, if you're that concerned we'll crash and burn today.

Man U's new fragrance in the shops: Channel No.5. (Yes you've probably heard them all already...)

Me and the missus will be at this one, my second game of the season. Looking forward to it, win please!

I've literally only got into eBay these last two weeks, and already bought 7 things, I'm hooked! (Took me long enough...) But I hadn't thought about asking sellers whether they'd sell an item after the auction is over. It's a good idea, if they have something they want rid, and it's something I want - but is it common practise or being a bit cheeky?

We score a poo result, and thankfully West Ham also pull out a poo result. We must keep up the home form though. Lambert and Chaplow being out, arguably our two best players this season, show the fragility of the squad attacking-wise, but we should still hope the players fielded do their bit too. I'm not too disheartened, surprisingly as we lost to the bottom side at the start of the day, but it does highlight the need to sign a striker in the January window. Guly is a good player, but is better playing off a striker, something we lacked in the starting XI. De Ridder will come good, but needs time. Get December over with as many points as we can achieve, and let's see what we can conjure up in the window. We'll relinquish top eventually, but I hope we can keep an auto spot for ourselves for as long as possible. (I thought Bristol City were going to do us a favour today, but hey ho.)

Beattie? No thanks. Adkins should've heeded my advice in January, and signed a less well known, cheaper Jordan Rhodes from Huddersfield. We'll regret that one. Blips will come along, I have no doubt Adkins is looking for a striker in the January window.

All right chaps, have I missed anything? Oh.

Group B will make good viewing for neutrals. May still need a TV at our reception....

Yessssssssssss! Not in Group B! I bloody love Van Basten! Fairly easy group for England.

Group C please!

Whatever happened to pulling a ball out of a bag! Stupid idea.

I think, I think, it's about to happen after the Gary Speed tribute.

You nailed it with the Eurovision comment Johnny! Bloody awful, and what is up with the singer's hair? Or voice!?

As per the Beeb, yes.

You need some seriously strong leg muscles, or a springy bellend, to dance like that. Now get on with the draw ffs.

Wedding has been relocated to Peru. Meet you all at Jorge Chavez International airport at 7am on the 8th.>>

Pretty confident of a win knowing El Hadji Diouf and Chimbonda are out for them. Winning this and the Blackpool game would set us up nicely for the Skates.

I'm a bender. I'll pick it up for you.

Avoid Group B for England please, my wedding is June 9th!

Nope, he's a Fulham season ticket holder.
