Getting out of this league is 100% essential, however we do it. I'd rather not have to rely on the play-offs though. It is good to see us so high up the table though, there's a distinct lack of quality in League One this season, we've got a team to show other teams how it's done. Top two if we keep playing like this. Maybe even as champions.

Depends. If we can bring in a quality replacement, then no. If not, then yes - squad depth will be the difference between an auto spot and a play-off spot this season.

Quick, steal Danns before they bring in a new manager!

Next stop the Championship, Portsmouth - start shytting your panties. Ok, without getting carried away, two great results, but we've got to start being consistant and winning the away games. In this form, we could smash Blackpool...

A phrase that has been said about six times today!

C'mon Carlisle, winner please.

"The great threat that is Southampton" will really be giving other clubs nightmares if we are second tonight. We still need a striker IMO but we are going to enjoy the fixture pile up with a juicy big squad.

Fish scores for Donny...

We should be winning this 8-0.

Bang goes my ten points, I had 2-0 in the prediction league. :-(

2-0 will never be a comfortable score as a Saints fan - I still get nervous at 3-0! Another Lambert goal would be lovely.

Say more stuff like that! "This will NEVER be a five goal Saints win????"

Goooooooly

Guly spoons another one...

Lion sperm.

What are Millwall feeding him?

Guly this season in the Total garage just outside Southampton. It took me an age to recognise him, despite just watching him score a header just a half hour before. In the end after looking like a stalker, I stuck him a thumbs up and got one back. I very nearly didn't do anything, which would've made him feel damn unappreciated as I was wearing full Saints kit.

That Matt Le Tissier bloke in the early noughties was special.

Lambert misses out due to this season's form, Alex is new, it HAS to be Lallana.

People forget Guly's a midfielder doing a job as a second striker, highlighting our lack of options up front. Great win today against a good team and promotion rivals but we do still need reinforcements in January. More of the same in the next game please.

With so many games off, it'll be good to get a jump on things. 2-1 to Saints, Lambert will score from open play.

wrapping the extra cock and balls proved particularly tricky though.

Merry Christmas to you all. I got me a Fiancee for Christmas. Chuffed.

As part of my recent Christmas shopping from Amazon, I decided to buy "Unbelieveable" narrated by David Baddiel which I'd been meaning to buy for years. MLT was quite simply a genius, I had cooked a ready meal just before watching it, and was so engrossed in the video that my meal went cold. Techinically I've been a Saints fan since 1989 but I didn't truly start following them until around 1994 when I went to my senior school, so I largely missed his earlier career. What a player, he could play on both wings and was scoring from anywhere. It's also interesting to see how good the Wallace brothers were. (Not Ray. :-)) I notice a lot of his earlier goals were less outstanding but more about dribbling from anywhere and shooting, his best goals, the ones that really stood out, seemed to happen as he got older and, erm, broader. I thought it was gutting to see the players we could have had in our current team, Walcott, Bale, Baird, Blackstock et al, but it doesn't compare to the team we could have had in the early 90's had we not sold everyone.

Depends on the size of the Turkey, there are some pretty small ones that you could get your winky right up in there, the further the better. I believe it's called neck-rophilia. Just don't do it on the dinner table on Christmas Day when someone is hacking into it with a carving knife.
