SNSUN

As for genuinely funny, pretty much anything said by Gordon Strachan, but I have to admit, that photo of the original Bates statue gets me every time. Hilarious stuff, it'll be in Saints' history for ever. Ali Dia is a good shout, but it wasn't as funny for us as it is for other fans. I did chortle at that kid running onto the pitch during the Norwich JPT game, but the less said about that the better.

A long time ago, when I were a young'un, I used to leave dog crap if it were behind a tree. I got caught by a dog warden, and fined. Now I always pick it up, and hate others that don't. It's gross. I might follow these people home one day and curl one out on their front garden.

Initially the biggest problem with the system is that I didn't have a customer number. A quick email to the ticket office fixed that. It's a good system, otherwise.

Distinct lack of height IMO. Did you just cover Simon Gillett with snow?

Bit fat IMO. The Frosty version of MLT. Bet he's got a good sliding tackle.

Gutted if true, half because we'd miss out on a quality defender at this level, and half cos I couldn't live from the gloating from 'er indoors.

Quite frankly, I don't see any new signings until the snow melts, and this will be a tough one for people to get to. Besides, I can't make this game, so there's a chance I could make the re-arranged game! (Selfish I know...) If it gets postponed, it also gives us time to bring in a few more players, thus strengthening our team when we do eventually play them. If the game does go ahead, then I fully expect the 11 players that are picked to go out there and work their nut sacks off. This game could be reguarded as a six pointer if we believe we can make the play-offs, and anything other than a win would be unacceptable. We've got to put the Leeds and Colchester results out of our minds. That said, we haven't been playing too well of late, and this will end up a draw. (If it goes ahead.) 2-2 (Many goals as the players will want to run around a lot to keep from freezing.)

Gillett is a funny one. He's a player that flatters to decieve, a real try hard that will run around for 90 minutes and give everything to the cause, but without setting the world alight. In a season when all our players looked crud, he stood out as being the best of a bad bunch (last season this is), and Doncaster must see something in him because they want him to stay. I can't make my mind up either way. He's not 18 or 19, perhaps if he was then I'd be hoping we'd hang on to him, yet we haven't tried him this season in League One when you think he'd have fit right into the team. The Hammond transfer didn't help, Hammond is undoubtedly better and it pretty much cost Gillett his place in the team. In my mind, he's the Francis Benali of central midfielders, a player without much natural talent but with a will to give his all. If we do let him go, he's just the sort of player that in a few years we could regret allowing to go. Or, on the flip side, he could just as easily find his level in League Two. We shall see.

Sadly I had to miss the Luton game due to work. Hence why all 11k of my children weren't there either. (Only the first part of that is true.)

Tons of January to go yet, so this isn't a bad thing. He's not impressed me much when I've seen him although according to my more observant missus, he was trying hard against Exeter on Boxing Day. The snow will probably put paid to any more signings over the next few days, so start the sweepstake up again and I'd pick a date next week for the next signing.

Apologies then - it has been known for people to complain about buying tickets on the day about 15 minutes before a game.

Wanted a big team but will take this. I'm just glad we're at home - the next game I could make it to St Mary's for was that day vs Swindon. Had we been drawn away I wouldn't have been able to make it to St Mary's until February. :-) With my missus as a Norwich fan, she now has every reason to come to MY club and support MY team!

Apparently Hull are after him. :-D

My day only began 2 and a half hours ago! I love holidays.

Thought he was playing for Belenenses. He would be a League One marquee signing, but it wouldn't happen.

That could've been confusing

Biggest lol of the day so far. Ta.

I saw the magnificent top quality ITK resource that is Wikipedia re Ward, and wasn't for one second fooled by it. Ahem.

I agree with the people wanting to go out to a big team in the next round. Get the FACup out the way, and do it with some dignity. Away to Chelsea/Man U/Spurs/Liverpool/Spurs/Man City would do.

Juktiewicz gone back to Scotland. I think a serious think about Brett Pitman is in order. Bournemouth are letting him go for 800k and he wouldn't even have to relocate! I'll be happy with whoever we sign tbf.

I missed the first 15 minutes of the Bristol Rovers game due to turning up 20 minutes before kick off without a ticket, (through no fault of my own might I add), and learned my lesson. I now either ring the ticket office and reserve my tickets in advance, or book them online. The queues for the collection windows are virtually non-existant, and tickets cost less.

My missus has cruddy eyes ( I think the technical term for it is short-sightedness) and moans if we don't sit near the front. I take your point, but doing it that way may inconvenience too many people.

I had 8 bets on an accumulator today and tomorrow, Stoke, Fulham, Sunderland, Saints, Liverpool, Man U and Chelsea in the cup and Norwich in the League, all to win. Just waiting on the Stoke confirmation, then it's up to 3 of the so called big 4 to win me some dosh. My mate said never bet on your own team, I proved him wrong, but I have been buttock clenching all the way through the second half. Incidentally I did have Portsmouth in the accumulator too but dropped them. Bloody glad I did now! :-D

All teams need a squad player, and he's ours. When Thomas and Murty were out earlier in the season, it was James who stepped in. God knows who we'd have chosen had we not got James. Thought he was very good against Exeter, a distinct improvement from the first time I saw him, against Palace away last season.

He didn't make an impact here, but then it was very hard for any player to make an impact here judging by how shyte we were for the last couple of seasons. Seemingly he's turned his life around and all credit to him, but I'd rather set our sights elsewhere. Still, as has been said, in Pards we trust.
