Ennio Morricone - My Name is Nobody. An 'aquired taste' maybe, but I love it.

Exactly, and the game has been and gone - so let's move on eh. We should be celebrating, not looking for petty bun fights.

And therein lays the crux of the matter really. It's the level of irresponsibility coupled with the eventual outcome that is important. As you say, we as parents have all probably done irresponsible things towards our children (mostly unwittingly, I would suggest), but where the possible outcome can be very serious. Dare I suggest it, but in your own personal instance, check out the beautiful but tragic song 'Tears in Heaven' - contrary to what one poster here believes, unfortunately accidents do happen. What the McCanns did was irresponsible but I wouldn't like to offer any opinion either way as to whether they were complicit in any other way. Being a father of 4, I would much rather hold on to the hope (slim though it may be) that someday Maddie will be found.

With all due respect to all parties, I would expect that this game was somewhat hastily arranged given that nothing was certain in terms of automatic promotion until quite recently. Therefore some of the personalities that we might have wished to see at SMS probably have agreed to other commitments that they are unable to break. Would have loved to see the likes of MLT and WGS - but as I say, this is probably a quite short notice event.

Exactly, and they are ‘MASSIVE’ as well as being ‘The best supporters in the land™’, so what does that make us…?

Works now - and that is pure QUALITY - thanks Decromax.

Me too....!

Would you like to contribute anything of relevance to the debate other than demonstrating your outrage about, what are afterall, merely other peoples' opinions?

Tonight we have a P against our name..........!!!!

GEeeettttttiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn therreeeeeeeee..........

Geeze - check out the noise a SMS....

Brighton finished 1 - 1..

"Love all round St Marys....." Luvit.....!!

Just want Notts County to knock one in now and all my Xmas's will arrive at once....!

The noise is awsome - I'm bloody homesick now.....!!!!!

C'mon - we'll get 15 more at this rate...... getttttinnnnnn

Ohhh you star, you absolute star...!!! Stuck in a hotel room in Germany, Saints shirt on - but now I feel I'm almost home..!!! Thanks a lot.

Totally agree, both with this and the OP. Unfortunately though they are now in a no win situation, cynics will see it as exploitation of a tragic situation, whilst others will sympathize with them. But it does leave a very uncomfortable feeling - what next, The Movie, Series, Talk Show...???

Meanwhile, back on topic... ...as Gemmel alluded to, this is football, anything is possible.

Haven't got a clue where we will finish. But what may help us is that we are no longer the 'big fish' so some teams may take us a little less seriously than those we played this season. Yes it's slightly arrogant - but we were probably one of the teams that most wanted to beat, next season will be a little different.

This. Funny how many people forget so quickly. We have obligations to others in this league to do our utmost to win the game - that is what I hope we do and achieve. Besides that, it would be good to win 2nd place outright with points as opposed to goal difference, and to achieve over 90 points. Let the party begin....

Mods can we please please please change the title. Absolute gentleman Sir Henry Cooper - quiet man who was in the toughest of sports and fought the toughests of opponents. RIP Sir - RIP.

O Yes honestly. The fact that you would choose to exercise more caution excuses nothing that this dog dirt did to this family. Are we condoning such behaviour by saying that it is expected - who knows. What I do know is that this is exactly the sort of thing that most football fans are trying to dissociate themselves from. This was mindless violence against a young boy and his elderly relations, not a football firm related incident. If I had any idea as to who carried out this attack, Saints fans or not, I would have no hesitation in shopping them. Sorry, but I we are going to accept this as the 'norm' then we are in great danger of going back to the bad old days.

Well FMOB, talk of the devil and he will show up. Missed that thread completely and haven't seen him around for a while. But he's obviously alive and well - all is good.

Anybody know where our man in the USA has gone? Tim used to post regularly here, often trying to recommend players from across the pond, but more importantly he was also instrumental in getting assistance for Big Ron. Haven't seen him around in quite a while, have I missed something?
