Shaw would have been in but Hodgson and Southgate decided not to call up any 'important' U21 players.

We seem to have just missed out about 5 years. We've gone from premier league survivors last year, to not giving a cr*p about the League Cup or Europa League (even though we haven't actually qualified for that yet, wouldn't it be funny if we finished lower than a competition we didn't even care about!) and concentrating on a Champions League place! When we have won the League Cup enough times to not give a **** about it (see Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd), and qualified for the Champions League so many years in a row we don't care about the Europa League (see same names as above) then maybe all those thinking we are above them will be correct.

Should be a regular starter now IMO.

What the hell are we resting from anyway? A home game against Hull and then two weeks without a game. No reason at all why more first teamers couldn't have been involved and get a result.

Lovren wished we had taken it more seriously too judging by twitter.

I actually find this really sad. You've been sucked in by Sky and the "glamour" of the Champions League mate. Think of the build up, the packed train to Waterloo, the massive **** up in London, the 30,000 saints on Wembley way, the potential for us to actually WIN something. I'm probably wasting my time.

A champions league spot isn't "winning" anything....

This use to be the case but they have tightened up massively. No way around the system anymore and I for one am quite pleased about that.

I'd take a win in the League Cup and finishing 12th-14th then ever worrying about the top 10. You're mental if you don't want to experience that feeling of a proper cup win with Saints.

Going up on the Friday for the weekend, staying in Newcastle. This works out nicely for extra drinking time after the game.

It's still a travesty that we didn't win either League 1 or the Championship with those teams. Never mind.

This.

Finally completed it today. Went with the option of killing one of them - regretted it after as the way it was done made you feel guilty! Nice that you can still play out the other 2 alternative endings though.

Also worth noting that Kasami, at 21, will bring that average age down significantly.

I wonder if it means more to those who are from the city? Is that buzz from a win and ruin of a weekend from a defeat more intense? Guess nobody will ever know. For me, they are more then a football club, they're a representation of my city across the rest of the country. Love it.

Working with kids all day all I hear is the equally annoying "reem", "mint" or "lush"...

If only we'd have got Coutinho.

Yesterday made my top 3 also, along with Rasiak at Derby and Lambert at Fratton.

Quite possibly the greatest celebration I've ever had inside a football stadium. There, I said it.

You have to wonder how much resistance Saints put up to this, you'd like to think they'd try and look after their own fans.

Just saw the website, that is an absolute disgrace!!

I would have been going up but had already booked a break in Madrid. Have two mates heading up, hotels booked, time taken off work....they are going to be seriously ****ed off. Has it been confirmed?

Doubt many have heard of this, but it's absolutely superb.

No amount of alcohol could make women's football entertaining.

Not a chance a surgeon will ever be going near mine.
