To be fair, Watford have still been really hit and miss. I watched one of Cork's first games for Watford away at Reading. He controlled the midfield for them, but they got battered 4-0. I'd expect them to be safe, but they're far from out of the woods yet. Of course, Rasiak won't be able to play against us, so it'll probably be Will Hoskins alongside Tamas Priskin, who's in a decent run of form himself. Still a few weeks before that game, though.

Are we done now, children?

To be fair, I'm not intending it as something that totally replaces the match threads or the minute-by-minute reports on the OS. Essentially, the way it worked on Tuesday was something happened during the game and I sent a message to Twitter via my BlackBerry. Twitter has a limit of 140 characters per "Tweet", so there's only so much information I can put in there anyway, and of course I'd quite like to be able to watch the game as well as keep people updated on it I'm not totally sure how viable it is as a long-term thing, I might end up just using it for goal updates as it was a significant amount of extra effort for me to constantly be entering stuff into my phone during the game. Thanks for the feedback, though... keep it coming

Still waiting for a response from the club re a couple of queries I had. I've sent another e-mail to chase that this afternoon.

Quids in today, I take it?

Is there any more feedback from the Twitter experiment?

I generally take the really hypocritical approach to ticket touts, i.e. I've got no real problem with them as if people weren't willing to pay through the nose for an event the tout makes no money, but if they get tickets to an event I want to go to and as a result get priced out of it, I'll be pretty ****ed off

Bournemouth will stay up.

Well we'll cross that bridge if/when we come to it I know what you mean - I only signed up to Twitter yesterday and have spent far more time than I should on there! You should still be able to see the updates on the front page of the main site - http://www.saintsweb.co.uk - if you can't view the SaintsWeb Twitter page.

Yep. That problem with the chat room really was bizarre - there was absolutely no reason why the software should have put that restriction on :smt017

Live updates from the game on our Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/SaintsWeb and also on the main site's home page http://www.saintsweb.co.uk - particularly useful for those who only read the matchday threads rather than post in them. Also, please note you'll need to be logged in to view the main board tonight in an attempt to keep the performance levels high enough.

As a test concept, we will be running live match updates from tonight's game on the new SaintsWeb Twitter feed, which will also be visible on the front page of the main site. Hopefully, if a percentage of those who use the match threads to find out what's going on but don't post use the Twitter feed, we should find the performance improve a bit. We will also be restricting access to the main site to Registered Users, Full Members and Mods/Admins. If you have registered but haven't confirmed your account (an e-mail will have been sent to the address you registered with), you will not be able to view this forum this evening. Either confirm your account to become a Registered User or use the Twitter feed for match updates.

Assuming you win, of course

Yeah, they generally don't return the stake like they would with a normal bet, do they?

We stopped taking applications about 5 minutes after we asked for them - the kit situation needs to be taken into account, which I'm waiting for an e-mail back from the club about. Essentially, I'm trying to see if we can get a deal on 32 sets of kit, the cost of which would then be added on. Once we've sorted that one way or the other, we'll re-open it.

Hey, I didn't put your studs into the ground and twist your knee causing the ligament damage... anyway, loads of players have come back from a similar injury to be better players - Alan Shearer, for example

Obviously you're all welcome to run one between yourselves, but I'll also try to get something that will integrate with the site set up for the start of next season.

I think there's 4 fewer in total, with some merged together and others deleted altogether, and of course the new betting forum.

Minimum is obviously 11-a-side, maximum is 16-a-side to allow enough playing time for those who want to play 45 minutes and those who want to play a full 90 minutes. Depends on which dates are still available Don't know Depends on what's available.

But how would we lose if we were both teams?

Not as far as I'm aware, but I've asked the club to let me know the full terms and conditions.

Amjad Khan is the other one. Never seen him bowl, so haven't a clue whether he'd be up to the job. To be fair to Harmison, he's not been helped by being constantly in and out of the team in the last couple of years. Either give him a run of games to prove he can or can't still do it or draw a line under it and tell him he's not getting back in the side. You can't expect any bowler to just come in on the odd game having been out in the cold and take 5-fors.

5, surely. We need to take 20 wickets, it's as simple as that. My XI would be: Strauss Cook Shah Pietersen Collingwood Prior Swann Broad Rashid Anderson Harmison I've put Rashid in there ahead of Panesar as his batting and fielding is better, but also because he's a bit unknown, which might cause the Windies a few problems.

Let's not run before we can walk...
