I agree entirely. The Daily Mail will undoubtedly dust off their Hitler inspired headline of the judges being the "enemies of the people". How on earth do we get the cross party government that we so desperately need??

Surman looked pretty pleased on Friday night at the end of the game ...and he is a Saints supporter.

You are correct. They do play at Totton. Hope the supporter coaches haven't all headed to Cheltenham.

You have got it the wrong way round. It is Cheltenham v Southampton . I doubt that our away support will be that great.

Start with our best team and then bring on subs when we are 4 up.

You are the fat guy aren't you who needs 2 seats??

We won't hear from him tonight. His true love , Everton. lost today at home to Sheff Utd . Second defeat in a row. He will be trolling the Everton forums tonight.

Are you sure that it still fits ?? I understand that you have put on a little bit of weight since then. #porker

Blimey. That is 2 more points than I thought that you would give us.

What exactly are you sayin' ? If it is to boast about the strength of the pound on the prospect of a Brexit deal then you really need your head examining. Compare where the pound was the night before the referendum and where it is now and you can see how Brexit has trashed our currency. They really do make them thick at Pompey Poly don't they.

He will be OK. You don't have to win much to be able to afford a week in Portsmouth.

Of course...forgot that.

He said 2 ... not 6.

Why do you need 2 tickets? Are you really fat?

If this is true, I wonder when she will resign. Or doesn't the law apply to members of Johnson's cabinet?

That's a good idea. Heisenberg always bets on Pompey to get promoted. He also wins so much money gambling that the bookies restrict his account so it must be a profitable bet.

Most bees, apart from honey bees, live close to the ground or underneath it.Bumble bees love compost heaps and other rough bits of ground. Some bumbles make homes under garden sheds or patios. In a few weeks , once it gets colder, they will disappear. Apart from honey bees, it is only the queen bees who survive the winter. The rest of the colony will die out.

I never had you down as a Times reader Charlie. Did you read your copy or was it one that you found in a bin??

It is early days and things could easily go pear shaped but .... this thread already makes cracking reading.

Thanks for the highlights. The offside goal should never have gone to var. It was so obviously offside that it should have been given by the ref.

Excellent result. We seem to have learnt how to manage a game out. After the last few years this is such good news. The fixture list turns nasty in a couple of weeks. Points on the board now are so important.

Do you still think that we are clearly going down this season? You never answered when I asked you after Brighton.

Very sad news. 10 years ago he did so much to keep Saints alive. A true hero.

No he didn't !!! His self imposed exile from the England team between 1974 and 1977 meant that Boycott missed Lillee and Thompson in 1975 and the West Indian quicks of 1976. It was left to men on their 40s like Brian Close to face the likes of Holding and Roberts. Boycott wimped out. I think it was Tony Grieg who summed it up as "where Geoffrey Boycott is , the fast bowlers arent".

Kane doesn't have a good record at St Mary's win penalties !!! I blame that and the commentator's curse for last night's miss. It was inevitable after they had bigged up his penalty taking ability.
