Just home, gutted. Fans did their bit, I thought we completely out-sung them. Did it come across on the box?

Bar man told me on Tuesday that The Alfred was opening at 9am. If I remember correctly, which I probably don't.

I think Perry, for Fonte will be the only change from Tuesday. In one of his interviews on Saints player he suggested that Antonio and Papa would play (although he did mistakenly call him Papa Dioup!!). No Reason for James to return, unless he feels Thomas can't play too games in a week or Chris Perry shouldn't start (which i disagree with). Onlt chance of James playing is at right back.

No.

People get paid to write these articles, lowest common demonenator journalism. Appealing to their lower intelligence fan base. Vote wise it is now 25% that Saints will win, COYR !!

Plastics are priceless Quote 2: 20 minutes in:(to me) Is Paul Wotton playing? Me: No Other: Good because he's cr*p Me: How do you know if you don't know who he is? (followed by confused look). Returning home to Kingsland North for Saturday.

No harm is sharing this kind of information, let's show a bit of solidarity. Just think though would you rather whack a skate and never watch Saints again or indulge in 100% supporting the team, winding up the idiots, singing throughout and celebrate a famous victory. I know which I'd prefer and a banning order, not being able to watch Saints would be about the worst thing going. I'm sure there will be a 'bit of this and a bit of that', but I think we are all together in saying let's keep it out the ground. Best way to P1ss them off, win 3-0.

What time is Alfred opening?

If anyone really cared about our club, they would do anything, sacrifice anything, travel any distance to make this game. I could not bear the thought of watching Saints V Pomey on ITV in a crappy boozer or at home. These games don't come around too often and it might be the last, anyone whinging about £50, you should be ashamed. I think the honest truth is, half of you don't want to go and see Saint play Walsall, as it's not quite as glamourous. I'm surprised and a little bit disappointed we haven't sold out by now, but as long as we do on the day, that is what matters. Also, if the person next to you isn't singing, kick them until they do. We have to outsing the fishy few.

I don't think he is picking our strongest team week in, week out. That causes a concern and makes me think he has no idea what it is. Not time to panic, but do need reassurance that he has a firm idea where 'his' team is heading.

Yes, I would have picked Wotton to get right up Exeter's nose. Also remember, when we went on our winning run in the Autumn/Winter, Wotton was playing. Although I'm not saying he is good, just would have done a job for this particular match.

I don't think Pardew knows his best team, but one thing is for sure he thinks Lloyd James should be in it, wherever he needs to fit him in. I think Lloyd is a decent player, but not good enough to change the team to accommodate him. Jaidhi Should play in my opinion, and I would agree with the team above. Although David Connolly should play when fit (if ever) and I wouldn't give up on Lee Barnard yet, the guy is a proven goalscorer at this level. Whatever happens, we should be winning more games and playing our strongest team, that includes Wayne Thomas above Otsemobor (who I think was a strange signing).

Got mine at 18.40 - Relief. Woman on phone sounded so stressed. Come on the 13th !!!!!

Joke ... have tried alll day, have work mates trying for me. I am absolutely fuming, go eveery game except work (where I am now) except tuesday nights because I work until 7pm and this farce royally screws me. How many are left? Anyone know? Is there any chance still?

I have tried the online system to over-buy my quota, but it categorically will not let me, I believe some porky-pies are coming out for sensationalism !!!

Has this transfer actually progressed at all, since this thread began? Or is it just still rumour ?

According to their site, seems he is staying put. Not fussed, seems a lot of money for an average player in my opinion, do not want to be wasting £1.2 million on someone I've not heard a lot about. Remember we are a league 1 club, and I think Cortese has commented that organic growth is the way forward, not opulent spending. Elliot Ward for £300,00 .... Yes Please.

TECHNOPHOBE ALERT - How do I get this on my phone as my ring tone?

Good Song, always thought the sound of it was great ringing round Old Trafford when they sung it, but didn't really know the words. We can get away with it as they don't sing it any more, should get an airing on Saturday.

So Dull !!!

Anything but a big premiership club at home, Saint Mary's just gets full of opposition fans. Away is the way forward, Liverpool or Man City please.

HOw any people turned up to Saints Aid back then?

Northam wasn't great today, too many kids and new faces, only knowing oh when the saints. Can't complain, do we not always say we want new fans and bigger gates? I really do not understand why it should be down to one stand to sing though? Was great to see the Itchen corner, giving it a go again.

Agree. Perry Man of the Match, closely followed by Dan Harding and maybe even Lloyd James (I know everyone hates him, but he really is improving). Also agree, we look a much better side with Morgan in, he also makes Dean Hammond seem a better player as well. Missed Morgan at lot at Leeds, and it is not coincidence Hammond then had one of his poorest Saints games. Think Pardew might dip into the transfer market in January for a solid holding midfielder though, a good Paul Wotton if you get what I mean?

I got my tickets Christmas Eve and the girl on the phone, gave me tickets in (I think she said) block 45 of the Northam, I have given up my usual season ticket to sit with family (lent it to a mate). This is normally an away block, so does that mean they are opening extra sections of the ground due to demand? Or just having less seats segregating home and away fans? How many away seats do we offer? So how does this become possible if they have sold 1100 (or whatever it is?)
