Brett has Premiership experience, Barnard has next to none. Aside from that it's tough to choose. Barnard is a more natural goalscorer, I remember Strachan once saying that if Brett had to think about placing a shot then he'd miss. Barnard also works his arse off for the cause, as did Brett. For where we are now, with a 25 year old Barnard or a 33 year old Brett, I'd take Barnard, I just hope he stays clear of his past injury troubles next season.

During the Norwich JPT game, I dropped my uneaten hotdog on the floor of the Kingsland. Was a bit upset, they're not cheap, and I was hungry. Being a Saints fan is all about ups and downs, highs and lows. We cry for the sad things as much as we cry at the good. This is something Man Utd fans and other glory supporting fans will never understand.

Winner: Argentina Runner Up: Spain. (I don't know whether that's possible, I haven't checked.) Underachievers: France Overachievers: USA England will go out: Last 16. English fans shock of the tournament: Rooney injured in 4th minute of the USA game, ruled out of tournament. English fans suprise of the tournament: Crouch to step up in Rooney's absence and bag 4 goals in the tournament.

Short of slowing down time so Calamity James or whoever happens to be between the sticks has time to work out where the ball's going, penalties will always be a lottery no matter how much they practise.

By far the best Latvian player with a girls name ever to have graced the Premiership. What I wouldn't give for Pards to find another foreign hidden gem like Marian.

Undeniably " Abide with Me" in Cardiff, 2003. I was not only proud of Saints, I was proud of Saints fans. Missing out on signing on Jack Rodwell.

Dammit, Jack Rodwell signed a new contract at Everton. Would've been quality back up to Pulis and Wotton.

People honking their horns as they drive past my local because they know someone - I live next door. Cherry Door Knockers. I live on a main pathway/road. Any woman in the world fitter than my missus (About 80% of the worldwide population of lasses) that I can never get. Bottles of Dr Pepper that corner shops have clearly bought from abroad to save money and which don't taste the same. My workplace having a Drugs and Alcohol Zero Tolerance policy when I want to get smashed. Shiftwork. People moaning about the snow in January, then moaning about the sun in May. -Flip Flops. Horrible footwear - can't stand them to the point that I threatened my missus with dumpage if she wore them, to date the only thing she's ever taken seriously that I've said. No-one wants to see your ugly hairy toes, smelly cheesy soles and hear that noise that could drive a deaf bloke insane.

They have SWF in Purgatory? I no longer fear dying.

No football sucks, but signings smooth things over in the summer. The World Cup is a little distraction to life without football, but Argentina will win it anyway so there will be the obvious disappointment from us England fans. I'd happily accept a semi-final spot though.

I only hear what I want to hear. Someone told me that Megan Fox wanted secksy time with me too - I'm still hoping.

Are they renaming the show C*ntdown?

Thanks darling, you can spank it if you want.:butthead:

A settled summer is just what we need. Ok, so nobody in yet, but nobody out yet (that we don't want to lose) and that is key. Fonte, Lambert, Lallana, Morgan, must stay, and rumours aren't appearing in the press, so that's a positive sign.

I would buy a season ticket if they were £125. I can't go to enough games to warrant paying full price, but at £125 I'd only need to attend 5 matches to break even, and I did nearly three times as many last season.

I reckon the Facebook news may be our lot for this week. :-(

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2010/8694687.stm I like. I'm Thinking about getting me one of those bad boys and telling women I play for England. I reckon I'd get away with it too, if it weren't for my protruding belly and two left feet.

Yes - if he's anything like he used to be, could be a very good free experienced signing at CB. Assuming Jaidi has one more season, Riggott has potentially five more seasons in him, a good replacement. However with Jaidi, Fonte, Seaborne and seemingly Martin at CB, do we need another CB?

Anyone that played Championship Manager 03-04 would fuel this rumour - he grew into a very good striker. Sadly life isn't like CM/FM, otherwise Brett Ormerod would have gone on to play for England and be the best striker in the world. Perhaps worth a look, no more so than any other free agent though - the Bolton stats aren't too impressive. Would also prefer Antonio to come back - yes he's a known entity, but we all know his potential, and on a freebie would be a great bit of business.

I would've said that of all the positions on the pitch, our strongest was left back. However in Pards we trust, so we'll have to see how good this guy is. Perhaps Pardew has targeted Harding being a back up at right back, as he did so well in that position in the latter half of the season - that would mean we'd only require one new right back - but is there really a lack of right backs out there?

...I didn't phrase that too well - I meant of all the realistic ex-Saints we could re-sign, along the lines of McG and not Bale or Walcott, Surman would be the oone I'd be interested in bringing back. Perhaps in a couple of promotion's time, we could think about bringing back Bale and Walcott!

Sod the players actually playing football, set up a PS3 tournament and decide matches that way. We're all off round to Adam Lallana's gaff to watch.:smt111

"Why can't we be friends..." by War. :-) I don't have a song I'd prefer. Perhaps they should record us all singing OWTS slowly at the first home game of the season and pump it over the PA system.

I would take Drew back in a heartbeat. The option came to play in the top division and he took it - and we needed the money too. I expect that if he came back he'd have to win a few people over, but I don't for a second think he'd struggle to fit back in - he's still quality, and would be the left footer we need in midfield. He's The only ex-Saint I can envisage, and that I would want, back at SMS.

Is it just me, or does our badge stand out more than anyone elses? It seems the red badges are more of an eye catcher. That said, I wouldn't be against changing the badge after next season, but it depends what it really is and whether the majority like it. Fundamentally though it has to reflect our club, our heritage, which the current badge does do - unlike MK Dons monstrosity.
