Yes. Watch us wreck the mic, watch us wreck the mic, watch us wreck the mic..... Psyche.

Still love you, though.

Your headline could strike fear into travelling fans. Should have put "for" instead of "4". It reads like four buses have been cancelled.

lol

If Rage gets to number one, I may have to burn my copy of their self-titled LP. Far too mainstream.

My album choices are terribly written! My apologies. They were written without proof reading and not much attention. I've been listening to Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix all day today and I'm tempted to put it into second place, but I won't. The list is final. I've also omitted a lot of good songs from my top list including Joy Orbison -- Hyph Mngo, Washed Out -- Feel It All Around, Lady Gaga -- Poker Face and Major Lazer -- Keep It Going Louder. The year has been too, too good and I hope next year's is even better.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Lukas Jutkiewicz has been banging them in for fun for Motherwell this season (on loan from Everton). He's a Southampton lad as well, so might be worth looking at a similar loan deal?

Would be pretty pointless considering his age.

Oh well, look at our country now.

Don Goodman, Alan Smith and Chris Kamara always seem to commentate when we lose. Their voices give me the creeps. Especially Kamara's "Big Stevie Howard" routine during both legs of the play-off semi-final against Derby.

I voted for Wally Downes.

In the playoffs? What are you talking about?

This has been one of the toughest years to whittle down a list of fantastic albums into a top 5. 5. Wild Beasts – Two Dancers I feel far too guilty to be putting this incredible piece of work at number five but, alas, that’s life. Wild Beasts have matured from 2008’s spellbinding Limbo, Panto, to release the beautiful Two Dancers, one of 2009’s greatest highlights. Hayden Thorpe has one of the most definitive, erratic and distinguishing voice in indie and clearly sets this band apart from the rest. They’ve grown from the rough and ready hits from Limbo Panto, which included Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants – arguably one of the greatest songs of the century, to produce immaculate, if a little unfashionable, masterpieces. Bassist Tom Fleming shares more of the vocals on this release and his deeper tones are welcome, but it will always be Thorpe’s punishing vocals that will prepare this band to greatness. Think Kate Bush mixed with a little Sparks. Stand out track: Hooting and Howling. 4. Girls – Album We had been waiting a while for Girls’ debut album and it hasn’t disappointed. This could have been my album of the year and it is a clear surf-rock classic for the 21st century (not in the way The Thrills were billed to be a few years back) but I guess I am just fonder of the three above it. Girls are exciting and Album is a joy to listen to. Its androgynous, drug-induced lyrics will push you deeper under Album’s skin with each listen. This is one enjoyable discovery. Stand out track: Laura 3. Phoenix – Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Phoenix’s latest effort is pop music at its finest. The French rockers have built up a reputation as a band who can put a smile on anyone’s face with hook-driven Summer rock tunes and have put in a stellar effort in trying to succeed their previous and flawless release It’s Never Been Like That. The album is just over 30 minutes long but don’t let that put you off. It’s quality, not quantity and there is a hell of a lot of quality crammed into this beauty. Up-beat opener Lisztomania is one of the catchiest tracks of the year and sets a high precedent but 1901, Fences, Rome and Girlfriend ensure the sun is always shining when listening to this. Stand out track: 1901 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMOkORxF4JA 2. Future of the Left – Travels With Myself and Another This album is visceral, vicious, vivacious and oh so victorious. We are all mourning the death of Mclusky but this confirms that Mclusky really are dead. Explosive front man Andy Falkous is on absolute form screaming through alarmingly tight punk rock tracks such as Arming Eritrea, Chin Music and You Need Satan More Than He Needs You. If you haven’t checked out Future of the Left (formed of members from Mclusky and Jarcrew), you really must. FotL are definitely my favourite live act of this year and Travels With Myself and Another is album you won’t be able to take out of your stereo for some time. Prepare to be gripped. The downside is their drummer is a Skate. Stand out track: You Need Satan More Than He Needs You. 1. Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavilion Picking the number one slot was the most difficult part of this list. I thought long and hard as to whether Merriweather Post Pavilion deserved it….and it does by a long shot. To have been released in January and to still hold a significant of playing time on my iPod is something to be commended. It truly is their best effort yet and is a supersonic assault on the senses. They have released countless efforts prior to this but it seems AC have finally created a concise, majestic sound that could easily see them become one of the most important outfits in the past ten years. The wonderful opener, In The Flowers, is arguably one of the greatest music moments of the year. It starts off lazy but explodes into something utterly breathtaking. This is a special album and from the sound of the Fall To Be Kind EP, released earlier this month, it seems as if AC are going to get better and better. Stand out track: Bluish.

The Norwich game will be our sternest test, IMO. They will be wanting a trip to Wembley too and do have players capable of beating us if we perform as we did in the first half today.

Tempted by this as well. Hopefully will get enough money to go towards it.

You have absolutely NO idea.

Saint bert, have you got yours ready to post?

Somerset Rebels' Emil Kramer has died in a car crash.

Bad photo, I reckon. Potentially better looking than the one on the far right. (far right lol)

If we're keeping it in the footballing family, may as well stick with Anthony Pulis. The guy is class.

Saints will be in a better state of mind psychologically having recently catapulted out of the relegation area. Leeds have the pressure of maintaining top place and a promotion push.

What was that hilarious story someone on here wrote last year about a colleague getting so wasted and shouting "I WANT TO DIE!!". Proper lol.

Football in General Best goalkeeper? Rustu Recber Best defender? Maldini Best midfielder? Cambiasso Best striker? Ronaldo

It's not very often I can say this but I'm ITK and you're wrong.
