We are sexy beasts!

Quite fancy Liverpool at St Marys, add to their woes. Staines Town away gets my vote though, I could walk to the ground!

Don't forget the play-offs while they're still a possibility, but don't set sights on them either. If Pardew tells the team we can make the play-offs, if, or maybe when, it becomes mathmatically impossible, the team is likely to switch off and accept poor form towards the tail end of the season. My idea would be that they should take each game as it comes. Looking into the future too far can only cause problems - the same for the fans, if we think we can make it into the play-offs, we'll be all the more gutted when we don't make it. The way I tend to deal with all things Saints related is to not think that the best could happen - I'm always the happier when we do things right.
-
Great win - perhaps people will stop overreacting when we lose one game now. We're not the Saints of old - this is a new Saints, the Saints that have quality and can win games when they go behind instead of capitulating because of the reliance on youth. It's a very good win on paper, sounds like the Tellytubby combination is working wonders. More of the same please people. As for Kelvin, big blow but I expect and trust Bart to make the step up.

WHAT?!?!?!?! After we lost that one game against Brighton, I thought our world was about to end! :-D

Top Gear has become immensely popular because it veered away from seriousness and into entertainment. New viewers were sucked in, not by cars but because it makes people laugh. Granted it is two fingers up to the real motoring fans, but for entertainment value alone, it is gold and a must watch in the SNSUN house. On a side note, if Top Gear ever got axed, I'd still like to see the three chaps team up and just make a series revolving around travelling and challenges.

Any one that writes in about the M and S advert would face a right kicking from me. I live for the advert breaks when I can see Noemie Lenoir in her magnificent glory. (Of course maybe I'd like to see her for longer - I think I might write in and complain about that) Claude Makelele divorcing her? He must be MAD. On another topic with the Waitrose ad, I like the music. Looked it up, Camilla Kerslake, new singer. Good song.

Good job none of his family were calling him a **** or something, thinking he couldn't hear them...

Makes Anchorman - "the bad man punted Baxter" - seem like a horrible snuff movie now...

She has thighs that could crack a Brazil Nut open, a nose that could replace the Eiffel Tower if anything happened to it, and a vagina as round as a camel's hump. She's got limited sex appeal, can't write lyrics to save her life, and most definitely should not be wearing skimpy outfits. She looks like a man. All in all, I think you know my answer. Tap.

I had to work yesterday, but from the sounds of it, the performance could've been better defensively. That said, had we won against Brighton, a draw in this match would've been a good result. It's a funny old game...
-
Right, I think the best way to approach todays match is to concentrate on the areas we were poor in last Sunday. Defensively dire. Thomas should've started the game, he's not the greatest footballer ever to grace League One, but he doesn't fanny around on the ball. No-nonsense. I'd partner him with Jaidi and have Trots on the bench, no player is un-droppable and after last week, it'll give Trotman the chance to reflect on what a poor performance can result in. I'd personally also bring back the 4-5-1, I like Connolly but I still think he's a super-sub for the time being rather than a run everywhere for 90 minutes man. Waigo must take part in the game, up against the Doc he'd urinate all over him. Doherty is their weak link IMO and Lambert must exploit it. I don't for a second think our performance will be as bad as last week, Pardew will see to that, but I do think that while we should win games like this to progress, I'd be happy with a draw. An entertaining one though please! With my missus being a Norwich fan, these games bring untold worry and strife in my household, if we win, she won't talk to me for ages (COME ON SAINTS!!!), if we lose I'll be ridiculed at least until we triumph in the JPT. All told, it'll be 2-2.
-
A case of the defence not being good enough perhaps. Harding is good on the left, but defensively we're weak on the right *****il Murty comes back). Jaidi is a good player, but you have to look at his age, and he needs to be paired with someone quicker in the centre of defence. Thomas, Perry and Trotman don't fulfil these requirements. In addition, the few times I've seen Morgan this season, I've not been impressed. We're practically a midfielder light because of it. Wotton may be the figure of fun on here, but defensively could he protect the back 4? I don't think we'll keep a clean sheet against Norwich, but keeping it to 1 or 2 goals and we could scrape a draw, which is my prediction for this weekend.
-
Don't need him, and I hope Pardew is smart enough to realise this. Harding has been my MOTM for the last couple of games, he works his butt off and is possibly the best left back we could have at this level. Add to that Mills as cover and I don't see why we're trying to strengthen a position that doesn't need strengthening. With Antonio, Trotman and Mellis no more than just loans, surely one of their positions will need strengthing in January/Summer.
-
I agree but not Lallana. We need a left footer in the left midfield spot. Harding and Mills are both good defenders and competent going forwards - I don't see why they can't work together. I'd move Lallana elsewhere and try Mills and Harding on the left, I'm almost certain Mills would track back.
-
I don't think we will lose against Norwich but it is still a very real possibility. Our problems stem from having an unorganised team at the start of the season. Trotman, Jaidi, Hammond, Lambert, Antonio, Mellis were all new recruits either just before or after the season kicked off - they had to be just thrust into the action. Following the Bristol Rovers game, which we were mightily unlucky to lose, we had a sustained unbeaten period which was partly due to having a settled squad. We won't go down this season - I'd cut off my own testicles in public if we do - and there's still ages to go until the end of the season. As for players leaving, well I sincerely hope they can see that the rebuilding process is a lengthy one, and not a case of instant miracles.The board has given us two seasons to get back into the Championship - and I think if we don't scrape into the play-offs this season, then we'll accomplish it next season.
-
I saw it the opposite. Harding was working so gard for the team last night, you could see it in his little red face, the sweat dropping off him. I wasn't suprised when he was subbed, not because he was poor but because he had no energy left trying to play as a left back AND a centre back. James didn't do badly, he was quite good going forward, but there are still questions over his defensive play. It's not suprising really, when he's a midfielder, but to be fair to him, Gary Neville in his prime could've been our right back last night and would've had a poor game - that's the Centre backs fault.
-
Ithink it must be down to form. Mellis's dipped, Antonios rocketed. I would start Mellis against Norwich in place of Morgan (in fact after yesterday's performance, I would start anyone in Morgan's place.)
-
For me, it's any player we're still talking about long after he's gone (for the right reasons, not the Ali Dia reasons.) People on here still talk about Chris Marsden Football Genius, and that means he was doing something right. Any player that comes in and works his nuts off for us, states his love for the club and is a success can become a legend. Benali wasn't the most accomplished of defenders but always gave 100%, and thus is remembered fondly by us. I think players that start out with us and do well find it easier to become legends, because they become a product of our youth team. Had Walcott or Bale stayed, even for another couple of seasons, then they could have written themselves into Saints folklore.
-
Even a loss against Norwich wouldn't be time to panic - so long as we put in a better performance than last nights. Especially defensively, I'd keep faith with Jaidi but maybe start Thomas in Trotmans place, to try and solidify it a bit.
-
I hear he honed his long throw skills at Reading. Their strikers kept hoofing the balls out of the Madejski, and he had to throw them back. The Sky peeps picked up on this, but a long throw is only good if you do something with it. By God he's quick though I did think he tried the same trick far too often. His first touch was lacking.
-
If someone had told me after the Bristol Rovers defeat we'd go unbeaten in ages and then lose to Brighton, I'd have taken it with bells on. It's performances like this that will encourage Pardew to go out and shop around in the transfer window. Looking forward to it.
-
We're definitely in the top 20. That's the most important thing this season.
-
Colchester and Bristol Rovers are one of the better teams in this league, and when we played Brentford we were a new team learning. No excuses for tonight, we were urine, but by the end of the season I still feel we will have more goods than bads.

The irony is that whilst taking my time to write this, every one else on here shares the same views!
