Stud mark of doom

This was always a matter of debate - was the crowd noise louder depending on who had scored? I thought it was a recorded crowd and always the same but was it?

We could be going in to the game knowing that a win would give us the same points as Liverpool and Spurs. Combined.

And Bally

Bookies have us at 2/1 to get top 4. Only 4 teams are shorter odds. The discussion has also highlighted a blatant unfairness in the system: the big four only need to get one point more than the team in 5th to get in the champions league; everyone else needs to get one more point than the team in 4th. Despite this unlevel playing field I agree with the bookies. We could well do it.

Do I look back and remember the fa cup 1976, being at Wembley in 79, or even the jpt and that other one in the mid 90's against forest, or do I remember the points tally for those seasons and where we would have been with an extra win - maybe one or two places higher, maybe not. Surely a no-brainer? Fortunately we can win both. COYR.

The ones with red at the top.

This is the expiation I remember. I was there too but no-one seemed to be shouting for a goal too much.

See 'return of the Judai' match build up thread for details.

I was there too - I remember getting home just in time to see Glenda staring in the 10 o'clock news headline story.

Shawly not?

I heard several people commenting on this last night. The general consensus seemed to be at at tadic played on the left, played on the right and made lallana look ****e.

There used to be a website whilst it was being built with loads of pics on it. Can't seem to find it now.

Maybe we should all chip in for a full page ad in the Liverpool echo. I'm sure this can be refined but as a starter for ten - a small picture of adz adjusting his hair on the bench and maybe some brief text - "how's it going adz? Love saintsweb xxx"

Someone suggested on another thread that Morgan had said something along these lines in a post match interview with Solent.

Who do you contact to get your snagged kit replaced by the way?

Well I'm seriously considering not buying again - my 7 year old's kit has got loads of snags in it and it is obviously almost new. Never happened with previous years kits.

4. Apostrophes will be put in the wrong place.

Reminds me a bit of the Delap signing. Pretty expensive and not the sort of player we normally went for - some actual premier league experience but had only looked ok rather than someone who could be amazing. Might well turn out to be the best of our three most expensive signings - but that's not saying too much!

He already has 11 caps.

Same day as Ozzie goes out on loan for the season I note.

Anyone remember the days when you could rely on a transfer being made a "sticky" as confirmation that it had been completed?

Who's that on the left? Who's that on the riiiiight? We are southampton. Have I got that right?

Good news - he is in the panini World Cup album.
