Fox is just about adequate as cover. But I think I'd prefer the cover for Shaw to be switching Clyne to left-back and putting Cork (or maybe even Richardson) to right back.

Saints 1 West Ham 0

Wouldn't that leave the "yo yo" strategy in tatters?

Lunatic thread finally descends into something quite funny. Nice one, chaps.

This is nuts. I remember about ten years ago thinking how we could qualify for the Intertoto Cup. Thankfully, we didn't and Strachan made plain we wouldn't enter anyway. Please no...

JPT win. No question. Our only silverware since 1976. (ps...joking)

Agustin Delgado. Beneath a disgrace. (is he within the last 10 years...?) Otherwise, Alan Bennett or whatever his name is....now at AFC Wimbledon.

The level of Saints-relatedness here is just overwhelming. I might start a new thread about the last episode of Dr Who. And which teams might play in "Ice Warrior" green next season. Pls move the thread, mods.

Sweet. Wish I'd thought of that.

What more proof could you need?

Probably only 2 or 3 points IMHO. But that may yet be too many to destroy the yo-yo strategy. Our failure to get relegated this season will haunt the club for years.

Swansea 23 Saints 0 If we lose by any less, the yo-yo strategy is in bits. We may even have to get players sent off or actually try to shoot past Boruc to get the strategy back on track.

It's all %s, Turkish. What would you say our chances are of finishing in the top ten? Clearly, not zero. But not 100% either. I'd say about 25%. What odds would you say Saints are to finish top 10 or top 8 or top 6 next season? I'd say 40%, 15% and 5%. Sorry to sound so nerdy statto, but it ain't a "Yes/No". Someone who says "no chance" and is proven right is as mad as someone who says a fair coin won't come up heads and is proven right.

I have £1,000 on Saints to "not be relegated", which I put down after the first 6 or 7 games. I'm feeling confident.

Horrible stuff. Made even sicker by the police/state cover-up. I remember thinking I'd never go to football after it. But I am of the view, I'm afraid, that it's time to move on. About 2,000 people every year die in British road accidents. They don't tend to get remembered 24 years on.

Hmmm...can I say Lambert for POTS and Morgan for YPOTS?

Bless. What an idiot. But bless. Just bless.

Cortese out. Disgraceful.

I'm not sure I really want to qualify...but can someone tell me what exactly needs to slip into place for us to do so?

It seems to me - just on the face of it, I don't have a costed business plan - that there are other smarter ways of expanding the revenue stream (our merchandising arm is pretty feeble, for example - is it actually possible to buy a Saints shirt in any retail outlet outside of Southampton?)

Because FA Cup winning captain Peter Rodrigues is 69 years old. And Welsh. HTH :-)

Classic. Just classic.

Genuine question - do you think, in retrospect, Wolves have made a mistake in spending so much money expanding their stadium. You used to hold them up as a shining example.

This. Very much this. Used to be cute and amusing. Now it's just eye-rollingly dull.
