Next to Tommy forecast is Ron Reynolds, a goalkeeper for Saints and Tottenham in the 50s.

Not that happy it seems. Already their forums are on about back to back promotions and expanding Fratton Park up to 28k, with some saying that wont be big enough.

I see the scousers are trying to make out he was mocking the Boston Bombings.

Thats Kerry Dixon, 2 row, 2nd left. Great signing. Thomas Pekhart same row 1st left.

Stop stamping on Jimmys dreams FFS.

Very fragile, if they get a hiding tonight it could set them back, just like it did at Stamford Bridge, they then went and got hammered at home by Tottenham and Wigan. You wouldn't fancy them having to get a result at Wigan on the last day that is for sure.

It must be double now that 3rd goal has gone in?

People talking incredible amounts of Bol locks actually.

I'm throughly enjoying it too.

Yes, staying in topic, not going off on a tangent with boring and untrue stories about your mum.

He's absolutely useless, a terrible signing from Fergie, rubbish player. The Japanese Tom Cleverly, or something.

What percentage chance do Villa have of winning this now?

Please say in topic or I will report you to the mods for pointless and sarcastic comments.

We are aiming for a top half finish, why does it matter what happens to the team in 17th?

Great thread.

What we need is a manager who is media friendly, has a few well placed mates who can help the cubs profile and who doesn't mind talking to them and cracking a few jokes. I can think of at least one who will be looking for a premier league job soon and he also has unfinished business with us.......

And Billy Sharp.

By using caps I'm simply saying he was already an established international player, don't forget he was top scorer at the ACON before he joined us. I don't disagree that they probably did have one eye on the future and hed be given the chance to develo, but he is also an established international with a decent track record, I expected a bit more than glimpses of ability in a handful of sub appearances. I would have thought given that then he'd be expected to make more of an impact. It just seems strange to me that a player who clearly has ability has had so little game time. If it was just the case under Adkins or Pochettino then I could see how it might be managerial preference but for it to be the case that neither pick him then it suggests either he isn't as good as we'd hoped or something is wrong behind the scenes.

I suggest you get off the Internet and get your sleeping bag out otherwise the only atmosphere you'll be enjoying is the one of your nose pressed up against the window of the ticket office as the sold out signs go up.

Kenwyne Jones was 18 when he joined us, he'd also only played in his home country and even now only has 9 more international caps than Mayuka so not quite the same. This is going to be one we need to back the manager on as fans haven't seen enough to decide if he's good enough or not, if MP decides he is best got rid of and someone else is better than that's fine by me, equally if he decides to see if he improves or not,because let's be honest, 3 have decent sub appearances in a season really isn't enough to justify the transfer fee and wages he must be on.

10th place is at stake and saintsweb credibility that is far more important you utter cretin.

The thing people seem to be forgetting about Mayuka is that he isn't some unproven kid just finding his feet in football. He'll be 23 this year, has played 43 times for Zambia and made over 100 appearances at club level. He has shown glimpses of ability in his early games here but for whatever reason this experienced international player couldn't even get into our matchday squad for 4 months, even when we had injuries to strikers, this under 2 different managers so its not like its a case of him being out of favour because the manager doesn't like him. It's clear something isn't right and if he stays or goes it won't be down to his age, transfer fee or playing well as a sub 6 months ago. He really should have done more in his time here. I'm not writing him off as haven't seen enough of him to make an opinion but let's not kid ourselves he was signed as one for the future, he was signed to make an immediate impact as you'd expect a player with nearly 50 international caps to do.

Just had a text from my mate down there 'Queues already round the back of the Northam, rumour Cortese will be out with a tray of teas later'

They do some cracking garden gnomes in there. I throughly recommend them.

Good luck with that. I know quite a few that are camping out throughout the night to get them, some are already there. I doubt there will be any left if you are leaving it until 6 tomorrow to get there.
