I agree entirely. Gestures like this must mean a lot to the Liebherr's. I would love 32k fans to be singing my name every week nearly 2 years after I had died. If I had as much money as them (and presumably could buy whatever I wanted) I am sure that I would get more enjoyment from this sort of gesture than from virtually any material possession.

An excellent summary if I may say. The only thing is that I doubt that Chinny would want to get the club in a position to be able to challenge for promotion from L1. How much will it cost him to keep thesquad together?£17 million? Why would he want to spend this to get his hands on £14 million of parachute payments?

My cat is named after Markus. He must suopport the Saints. My dog gets double food when Saints win but gets beaten up when we lose. He wishes that I supported Man United.

I have been relaxed since the end of Leicester v West Ham. For weeks I have been nervous with all the what ifs often acting on the Geoff Boycott batting principle - "things look good now but if we lose our next game and they win their next the table will look ....." Now though I feel strangely relaxed and am counting the hours until 12.30 saturday. I cannot wait. we know what we have to do. We can do it. Lets go and do it. Last night I had my first dream about Saturday. We were not playing well but were leading 1 0 in the 70th minute when I woke up. I wonder if I get to see the final 20 minutes tonight.

That team came so close to the double that season - yes younger readers Saints and a League and Cup double. How we never beat Everton in that Cup semi final I will never know. A bobble and Adrian Heath combined to give me my worst ever feeling after a Saints game. Coming second in the league was some sort of consolation but again we came so close. A stupid 0-1 home defeat to Notts County who were relegated that year was so costly as we were only 3 points behind Liverpool at the end of that season. A scrappy 1-0 defeat at Everton on Grand National morning when we were too intent on saving players for the Cup semi also cost us. That season was full of great memories - despite the disappointment of the Cup semi. For some reason I remember the Cup run better than the League - and not just for Steve Moran at Nottarf. Blackburn away in the 5th round on a Friday night was a highlight. 8-2 on saturday would be great. Hopefully it will lead to younger generations of Saints fans getting as much satisfaction from their team as I did in 1984.

There is still time - come on Leicester

That really is funny isn't it. What he really meant was: You are paying me shedloads more money than anybody else would. Keep on paying me.

If so, let me know and I will pop round. I think our manager is just briliant

Yes but Alpine is a depressive with genuine problems who is a Saints fan. Charlie Wayman is a skate on a wind up.

Brilliant. Every cloud has a sliver lining. :-)

You can do better than 6/4 http://odds.bestbetting.com/football/england/football-league-championship/regular-season/round-45/leicester-city-v-west-ham/match-result/

Neither can I .... but then we don't need them to lose both of their matches. A draw and a win will do me nicely.

Lets get a grip.We lost today but we are still in a fine position. The BBC website headline says it all " Southamptom made to wait for promotion" Leicester may do us a favour on Monday. Failing that, we just have to beat the second worst team in the division on Saturday. It is all in our hands and is very doable. Lets just get some man up pills , draw the blue line and get ready to finish the job on Saturday against Coventry.

That is my fear as well.

and on CMS's part.

I have been thinking exactly the same. It was Birch who warned that after the season finished, the club would fall off a precipice. The end of the season is only just over a week away. Those loaned players will come back and want to be paid. TBH will want his £36k a week to pay for his summer on the beach - along with all the other players. No season ticket sales and little other income coming in just spells disaster. What a shame!!

Attendance of 22,899. Suppose the away end had some empty seats.

If there is a replica of the Championsip trophy, what happens with the runners up trophy? If you remember we won one of those last season and I imagine there is one for the Championship. Is there a replica of that trophy?

I heard that as well. I have no idea of what he is on about. I cannot remember any contentious decisions going our way. I suppose if we listen to idiots on c r a p py radio stations we shoud expect to hear rubbish.

Paxman ripped her to shreds the other day on Newsnight. She was made to look very second rate. Very good at quoting slogans and mouthing off but incapable of any sort of logical, reasoned defence of her views. Rather silly and slightly thick to be honest. Mind you. She is probably an intellectual in portsmouth.

Ah well. True to form you appear on a knocking thread. How many times is it this season you have predicted that Adkins will be sacked?? Why do you continue to besmirch the name of a great man such as Charlie Wayman with your postings ?? If we are one celled amoebas on here why don't you disappear off to join your skate mates along with our mate Neil aka the Watcher. I am sure that you and he will feel at home with the other members of the blue phew.

I understand that many bookies in the Reading area have gone bust this evening. It would appear that most people in Reading backed Neptune Collonges in the Grand National. Apparently the National Lottery organisers in the area are fearing the worst this evening!!

Love it.

Porky Penny on Newshight now getting a real grilling from Paxman. She is completely out of her depth. She should stick with the inbred pikeys who think the world shines out of her whatsit

If you think that things are bad now with pundits wait until next season. We will be everybody's favourites to go down. The Times this year had us to finish c 16th. I doubt if next season anyone will have us that high in their predictions. Bearing in mind that we seem to play badly whenever on national TV (Blackpool, Leicester , Leeds) you can perhaps see why we are underrated. Lets hope so , so that we can take the Premiership by storm in the same way as we have taken the Championship
