Whoop whoop, home from work, turn on SSN and we are at 1-1. Just my luck. Knowing Saints slow starts, I wasn't expecting even one goal this early, yet alone two! That'll be 82 minutes with no more goals then. :-D Come on Saints, time to do something impressive. On the pitch.

Not a chance. If they get rid of him they won't do it before the summer at least. Why bring in a new manager at the tail end of the season? No window to bring in his own players, and not much of a chance to make an impact. We'll be comfortably in a high mid-table position at the end of the season IMO, and with the Wembley final and a potential trophy on its way, it would be silliness.

So much for being PROFESSIONAL footballers. All respect to our ex-player, and I know it's not his fault, but what happens off the pitch shouldn't influence what happens on it. It's poor sportsmanship not to shake your opponents hand. That said, I do hope Bridgey gets the opportunity to nut Terry at some point. Worth watching MOTD for...

TBF I was going to spend that weekend in Brighton. Then I realised it was a cack hole. I'll be spending my entrance money instead on the Leyton Orient game on Easter Monday.

Thumbs up for this thread. :-) I have one ticket to the area final at St Marys, although I need 4. I've told the three others that wish to come to Wembley that they can get lost, as long as I get my ticket on Monday, I'm happy! (Although I suppose if there's enough tickets in the restricted general sale, I'll just buy 4 then and sell the other...)

I have a dream... ...ok, HAD a dream last night that we "click" and romp this one with a big scoreline. I'm usually wrong, so I won't be putting a bet on. Can't underestimate Walsall, they are where they are on merit.

I was told our programme is reasonably priced compared to some. I can't get to many games, but I always buy a programme as it enhances the experience and gives me something to flick through at half time, as opposed to standing in a queue a mile long for a pie and a pint. Content-wise, aside from the managers notes and info on some of the oppositions players we're up against, it's not worth it IMO. (Unless you happen to be sat close to the camera in the pre-match build up and get a signed shirt for waving it like a loony.)

Would our rivalry extend to administrators, or would that be taking it too far? As they've not appointed Fry, it's a moot point, but I'm glad they chose someone else! HANDS OFF OUR ADMINISTRATOR!

I'm hoping it'll be 2-0 whatever team we put out but my team would be... Davis Semi Fonte Jaidi Harding Hammond Morgan Waigo Lallana Punch Lambert Subs: Bart, Seaborne (or Thomas if not), Mills, Wotton, Antonio, Barnard, Holmes.

So our main rivals will be Aldershot. Nice.

I was talking literally. Beating my meat has no bearing on results, actually it's the result that precedes the 'bation in some circumstances...

Bournemouth will be spanking it at the thought of becoming our main rivals... I hope the courts do the honourable thing. The message that you can spend whatever you want and find an escape route is unacceptable. (I realise we were in this position a year ago, but we hardly "spent what we liked", it came about through successive relegations. IMO anyway.)

We'll just have to play with ourselves.

Depends how often I beat my parrot. Each punch equals an opposition goal. He's had an easy ride since the Pompey game, and FWIW I've laid off him this week too. Now need to do a good deed by tomorrow for that elusive goal...

I think he's been in the best form I've seen him in all season, but there you go. He hit the post twice against Norwich. If those had gone in, we would't be having this conversation! He was also the best player for us against MK Dons, and Pompey. My opinion of course. (Clearly...)

If I wanted success on a near permanent basis, I'd support Man Utd. I love Saints, have done for 20 years or so, and the ups and downs are what makes supporting this club entertaining. I don't buy my tickets to see the lads play with the expectation of us winning, I buy my tickets because I'm a Saints fan and I want to show them my support. I don't wish to deny the "glass half empty" posters their right to moan about the Saints, that's their choice, but I wouldn't hardly ever moan about them, because I know that, good or bad, Saints will be the one constant in our lives. If I moaned about them as much as some do, I think I'd go mad, or be dead, by 40. I want to be back in the CCC. As much as anyone. It will happen too, it will. Every fibre in my being hopes that it is next year, but if not, it will happen, with or without the current manager, or chairman, or players. Enjoy the ride, because we support a club with as many downs as ups. We aren't Man Utd. In 30 years, who knows, but we certainly aren't now. I always know that, whatever happens in my life, I'll have the sweet relief of Saints for those 90 minutes every once in a while.

I thought this was the build up fred. Confoosed.com. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=18372 Oh well, we're good enough to win this, just as we were good enough to win on Tuesday. That said, I expect the lads to banish the demons and win this one, in what is arguably a more difficult test than Wycombe. 2-0 Saints, Lallana and Barnard.

Khat is for pussies if The Lancet is anything to go by. At Hounslow East station a few years ago, beneath the eastbound platform, we found a whole suitcase of Khat. God knows how it got there, or why anyone would stash it there, perhaps they were high on their own substance. (Somalians do cause the most trouble in that area...)

I hope she resorts to her former name, for it is who she TRULY is. Cheryl Ursula Nicola Tweedy. :-D

Oh I agree, but I was thinking of our own products. Bart was bought in from Gornik Zabrze.

I was running out of Saints players in my brain database! Stick Oaks in there or something. ;-D

WE WILL WIN THIS GAME. Oh how I wish I could make this game. Disappointment at Wycombe aside, I think the lads will want to make up for that performance against Walsall, especially as it will be on our lucious greenery. 2-0, stick a monkey on it.

Well ok, add one or two midfielders in there, but it's still a good looking team, although we were always destined to lose Walcott and Bale. It was Catch 22, had we stayed in the Premiership, most of these players wouldn't have had a look in, relegation simply meant that most of those players we picked up by (so-called) bigger teams. One way or another it seems that we would have lost them.

It took two glances at the article to see that I wasn't looking at Nathan Dyer. FWIW, I would sign both Antonio and Waigo if I could. I don't think Holmes has a future at this club, I'd be suprised to still see him here next season.
