Could some of the transfer budget be set aside to sign the crystal palace cheerleaders? Cash plus saintettes swap deal.

I still think back to the first game v Leeds, before we realised how good we were. Celebrations for that first goal were absolute carnage.

Nah, I'm just bloody common. Will have to dig out the funeral suit :-)

Cheers, fat player it is for me then.

Why?

People who went last year, how strictly was the black tie theme stuck to? Was everybody in tux or could you be ok with black suit and tie?

It's a reasonable comparison to make. He should make it, I think he will, but sometimes the players that struggle are not the ones you would expect.

Brilliant. Spotted myself. Thanks for that.

Here we go.

I'd like to introduce Nigel Adkins, who is clearly much better at football team talks than I am.

Why would they be taking photographs of the megastore?

I'm finding it quite strange at work. People just going about their business and to them it's just another week with just another weekend coming up, but to me it is massive, the biggest weekend of the year and I can't bloody wait for tomorrow to get out of the way.

I didn't have to remove the zeros, just went back and submitted again and it worked.

The first match against Leeds. Set the tone for the whole season.

My nerves aren't frayed, I'm just bloody excited. This is what its all about, I want football to make me feel like this!

Going to be mental. Might wear shin pads in case we score.

Holy crap. Nolan is a saints fan.

How the **** is that not a yellow card. Cynical ****.

It all depends on how you judge the best team. If you judge the best team to be the one that wins in style, dominating most of their opposition and playing in high scoring matches, it's us. If you judge the best team to be the team that gets the most points, it's them. Personally, I think the best team is the one that sits at the top of the league table after 46 games. Hopefully that will be us.

What they've acheived after missing out in the playoffs and then starting this season badly has been amazing, similar to what we acheived last season but in a more competitive league. He has every right to be shouting about it.

After 7 games they were 11 points behind us, they are now 3 ahead. I really don't see how it's disrespectful to point out they've been the better team in that time. The context of this was also an interview about Reading, it's not like he ran up to Nigel and shouted it in his face.

Would love to be there but just can't do another now. Went to Palace, and then Peterborough with the hope it would be 'the one' and we didn't quite make it. I will have to content myself with the pub and a night out in Southampton afterwards, will be jealous of those who are there but sure I will get over it, town will be awesome anyway. COME ON YOU REDS/YELLOWS!

What's a proper noun?
