I can see it now... 'Virgin Saints'

Hughes got just the one goal, at the Dell.

Hubris Aid? Is that a new fizzy health drink?

Yeah, and it's only Monday!

I seem to remember Sarmiento coming on as a sub away at Torquay in the FA Cup 3rd round.

Neil McCann scored away at Northampton or Rotherham. I was there but it's all becoming a blur now...

Is that this season or next?

Ah, but Best's second was after extra time which would not have been necessary were it not for the 'Pelenalty'. But I'm not bitter. No, really, I'm not :---)

Desperation?

I would blame Pele before those two, if I were to blame anybody.

They're totally different. One started off full of promise but failed to deliver, oh... I'm beginning to see a bit of a pattern here.

So if my missus ever turns me on to my back and starts stroking my tummy, should I start to worry?

I remember being told once that the humane way was to put them in the freezer for a while - not until frozen solid - then a sharp knife vertically through the back of the head which kills them instantly. But how do they know?

That's right. The customer makes an offer to the shopkeeper who then decides whether or not to accept it.

Just another thought..... It said 'buy one get one free', not 'buy two get one free'. Run that past them!

I would need two. One is not big enough for me.

When you consider that Nottingham Forest have twice been European champions and look where they are now!

I hate them too. We never had them when we won the World Cup. The England team has never played well since we started having them. In fact, we've never been any good since Joe Mercer was in charge.

I've been saying that about most games this season, tbh.

Most matches go to the team that wants it the most and I don't expect this one to be any different. A draw's not going to be enough so I suppose you could call it a 'must win' game. We are rapidly running out of games if we are to climb out of the bottom three. One ray of hope is the game-in-hand. Once that has gone then there won't be much light left, IMO.

I think it's called: 'getting old'

Perhaps we're not paying because he's 'not fit for purpose'?

I was watching the game in which Crouch was playing at the weekend and I noticed that in the last few minutes he ran the ball into the corner to waste time. The commentator made some remark about 'Crouch using his experience to run down play'. It makes you want to spit, dunnit?

They're certainly not playing like they were. maybe complacency set in when they thought we were going to be safe. I don't know whether singing "the Saints are staying up" was tempting fate a bit too much.

It's not just you. Maybe it's the pattern of results. When we won 3 in a row I momentarily felt a brief surge of optimism but we're not winning one, losing one, we seem to be stuck in a run of draws and I don't get the feeling that the players have the belief or determination to get us out of this. In the home games against Preston and Cardiff there was a desire and confidence that seems to have evaporated of late.
