http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7585641.stm Just goes to show even the pros can get it wrong...

I hope that is the case! Beer gardens, lazy walks down by the river, girls wearing next to nothing...sigh...

No. Though I may do one day.

Because Obama gets the presidency? RACIST! ;-)

Tonight - Work til 11. Friday - Work til 11. Saturday - Work til 11. Sunday - FREEDOM FOR 3 WEEKS!!!! The best time of the year for every Underground staff member is the start of their 3 weeks summer leave. Albeit the summer has been and gone. :-( Still....WOOT! Copius amounts of drinking and looking for a place to live with the missus.

I still think we'll experience a number of lows, especially towards the end of the season when old legs grow weary and young legs take over, but the early signs are very promising.Games like Blackpool on Saturday should be our bread and butter 3 points. Should be...

That's a toughie. So many have done so well. Holmes has proved he's not just come here because he couldn't make the grade at Derby; Gillett has proved height, or lack thereof, doesn't make a bad footballer; McG had proved that, despite seasoned pros like Rasiak, Saga, BWP and John on the books, he can score goals and take his chance when presented it; Killer has proved Lazarus was no fluke; Lallana has proved there is life after Le Tiss, Schneiderlin has proved good players DO want to play for Southampton; Perry has proved age is no barrier for experience, James has proved etc etc etc To narrow it down to 3 would be tough. Killer, Gillett and McG? Who knows...

Good old Saints fans, making an argument out of absolutely everything! ;-) RIP to the driver. Thoughts go out to the family.

You wish...

I could tear you a new arsehole if you really want to stand out from the crowd...

Saints will not screw it up - I just get the feeling we're laying to rest all the cliches that Southampton fans have to put up with season after season. In fact I get the feeling we'll be very good indeed. 3-0. It's just a shame I can only watch the first half before I have to go to work. :-(

Get well soon Mick. Could've been worse I suppose.

WHoever the Sky Sports "reporter" is at the moment is a moron. Doing a round up of last nights action, he said that League One side Southampton managed to upset Championship side Birmingham. I know we were shyte last season, but we did manage to stay up, right? Or did I miss something?

Not one of our players (though I have been racking my brains :-)) but Steve Watson used to play all over for Newcastle. Principally a right back, he was also utilised in midfield and in emergencies as a striker too. Darren Purse likewise, although he's now settled as a defender. It may just be faded memory but I think Alan Neilson used to play in different positions for us...

That too... :-)

Click on User CP and go to avatar options, then right mouse click over the avatar of your choice, copy the properties (the .gif bit) and paste into the avatar section. At least that's how I do it...

I noticed that. Really poor quality footage! It was like watching a match in the 70's. The Carling Cup highlights on ITV were shocking. You can't allocate 45 minutes to the programme, spend most of the time on one match (even if it was the "tie of the round"), gloss over a few others and completely ignore some. Terrible programme making. As others have said, Sky SPorts News had slightly longer coverage of the highlights! That said, anybody that wanted to see more could've gone to the game, but a lot of people, myself included were unable to for one reason or another. I'll be glad when the Beeb gets its hands on it.

Man Utd at Old Trafford would earn us a fair few quid, but I'd like to see us progress past the next round before playing the big teams, so a home tie against lower league opposition please! (I know, I know, it's the cup and little teams can beat bigger teams etc etc, but the way we're performing this season fills me with confidence.)

W00t we beat the Brum Bandits. 3 wins in a row on Saturday please. :-)

Did we score? Snigger

13 Forecast, 18 Dyer, 24 Lancashire, 34 White, 08 Wright-Phillips are the unused subs so far. I'd like to see Dyer get a run out. Fresh legs and pace...

How's Jack Cork doing, those of you listening to it?

According to the OS - "There was only one club Spurs wanted to send him to". Spin? Or are we really regarded that highly now that we've made the youth our number one priority?

Harris? >

He came on at half time unless I'm reading something incorrectly...
