Thanks for your concearn, but no. I am just looking forward to Jonno Quick stepping up to the ocky and hitting a 180.

Drogba isn't jonno quick.

Can u just remind you of these comments... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2281315,00.html In particular "he's lightening quick, When i talk about quick players i ask "is he Jonno quick?" "he's got unbelievable pace and strength, he gets that ball and he runs with it in behind and he scores goals, I training some of the stuff that he does- he's unplayable"

He is going to be a MASSIVE player for us in the run in.

We are still in the driving seat but given everyone was so delighted with a point away at Charlton and our other games in hand are away at Rochdale, who are better than Charlton and then at home to Charlton, who some seem to think have suddenly started playing well again, what is the best we can hope for from these games? 2 points, 3 tops i guess.

With Lallana and and Chamberlain out injured this is Jonno Quicks opportunity to step up to the plate and show why he is so highly regarded by the manager. The guy now has the opportunity to prove himself as an inspired signing and cover himself in glory. Come on Jonno Quick, this is your time. Stand up, tap Chamberlain and Lallana on the shoulder and say "out of the way you pair of crocks, it's all about me now" Jonno Quick is going to be the man to do the business. FACT

The best excuse i have heard so far is that previous form doesnt matter when teams play us and its common for teams to be on a bad run and then suddenly start playing well again. By conicidence Chalrton "suddenly started playing well" in the last ten minutes when we were winning 1-0. Walsall "suddenly started playing well" against us too. So did Tranmere, Yeovil, Nott County. What a coincidence this is!!!

They may have had the odd slip up here and there which happens but not many. Only 5 losses this season, none of them at home. I'd swap our point at Hartlepool for the rest of their results wouldn't you? What about us? Wallsall, Tranmere, Brentford, Charlton, Plymouth, Swindon, Yeovil, Peterborough all games we should and could have won but didn't, all put down to one of those days. I dont expect us to win every game, Huddersfield for example i except was a tough game and we were beaten by a better side on the day. If you are happy to be the best of the rest then you carry on, personally i expect a bit more from the side than that. Second place is still in our hands, but it would have been a whole lot more straightforward if we had beaten the team Dagenham and Redbridge beat on saturday and 8 of their previous 9 opponents had.

So by that logic Manchester United wouldn't expect to beat Wigan because previous results and form mean nothing, Wigan have a couple of good players and Arsenal drew their earlier in the season?

How anyone can think a draw against a team which had lost at home to Brentford, Carlise and Exeter in recent weeks, has lost 7 of their last 8 and were shocking for 80 minutes of the game is beyond me. We had a great opportunity to stamp our mark on automatic promotion against a team on a terrible run and low on confidence and threw it away. Teams that win things win games like last night, even not at their best they close the game out and dont conceded late goals, just look at how many away games Brighton have won 1-0 recently for proof of this.

Not just the season, the entire club is at risk from this injury. If he is out for more than one game, we wont go up, Cortese will pull the plug on us, walking away from all the money the Liebherrs have invested so far, selling the club for a pound and a piece of lucky heather to a family of Travellers from Sandhurst. All of our top players will go, we will sign players on a free from Mychett Athletic to replace them and slide down the leagues until we are playing in Southampton junior 5 saturday league. The travellers will turn the car parks into a Southampton gypsy commuity and use the pitch to let their horses graze and we will end up playing at Riverside Park. All because of Lallana straching too far and pulling his groin FFS.

Yeah, that wears off after about 3 months. Apart from fridays when it's Suzannah Reid o'clock on BBC Breakfast, that makes up for the rest of the week. Phone goes to voicemail as i am busy doing "administration" friday mornings. Sky plus was invented for moments like that.

I work from home and have done for 18 months, in a sales job. Although i am often (sually 2 days a week) out at meetings with customer it does drive you round the bend. Some weeks, particularly in the winter months you might not see anyone else for days and get bad cabin fever. Sometimes it's great to be able to roll out of bed at 8.45 and switch the lap top on the minus far outweigh the pluses. My head office is in Cheshire though so a long commute, time to find something else i think.

I agree with you that tonight is a great opportunity to put ourselves in the driving seat, but if we dont win tonight we can still overtake the other two with our remaining games in hand over them and they have to play each other. I dont agree with this "'i'd take a draw" nonsense, as i said if we fail to take advantage against what has been a very poor Charlton side given their form and the circumstances only a win is a good result, anything else will be massively disapointing, but not a disaster.

there probably wouldn't be room, he's quite a big lad, would probably need two seats each.

We dont HAVE to win. If we dont win tonight it doesn't mean we wont go up. However a win will put us in the box seat, same points as huddersfield with two games in hand and two points clear of Peterbourgh with one in hand, not forgetting they have to play each other yet. We have a fantastic opportunity to put ourselves in the driving seat against a Charlton side without any confidence on a terrible run and most of their fans expect to get spanked. I wont be satisfied with a draw, second is ours to lose now and if we fail to capitlise tonight against a team Dagenham and Rebridge beat on saturday and have lost at home to Brentford, Carlise and Exeter in recent weeks then it'll be hugely disapointing.

Aren't they normally first leg the weekend after the season finishes and then the second leg on the tuesday or wednesday after? Just dont book a holiday in May and you'll be safe, i had to argue to toss so for us to go in June, i won of course.

Where is Tartan Owl?

It's not actually called the Liberal club for political reasons, i cant remember why it's called that but it's just a normal working mans club.

Undecided yet mate, possibly. I will be driving though if I do go.

Not if it means i have to miss any of the game Eric, you know the rules.

i am digging a tunnel. I set off from my living room after saturdays game and am currently typing this from under the M25, if i keep going at my current rate i should pop up outside the Antigallegan at around 5pm tomorrow leaving me with a couple of hours to wash, change and get a burger and a pint in. I have covered the hole in my living room wall from where i started digging with a poster of Rachel Welch incase the old bill come round to check if i have travelled.

You've got to admit it is the sort of game we lose. We are on a good run, could go second with games in hand if Peterbourgh dont win tonight. Charlton on a terrible run, losing every week, no confidence, fans p*ssed off and will turn on their players if they dont start well. We used to be known as the team everyone wants to play when on a bad run, it was a guarenteed 3 points for them, lets hope we are no longer a soft touch and right the wrongs of Wallsall. Win this one and with two home games to come we could be on a run of 7 straight wins.

I got a job where i get a company car and fuel card and then do a mileage claim every month, my personal mileage then gets deducted from my wages. By sheer conicidence i now only do around 300 personal miles a month.
