Lee would have been invaluable, such a shame he is out.

We did look more unlucky on the highlights then actually at the game. I never realised the effort by Lallana was so close. Meh, think we'll still do it, just.

No idea, but he should have buried it.

I don't know about the first, but I can assure you that no goalkeeper would have got near their second.

I've just got in. On to Palace No other comment to make.

No, I wouldn't take it. We won't need another 5 wins anyway.

So the bestest fans didn't sell out for their cup final at home, and now it appears they won't for the away game either. They really are a small time, nothing club.

Just had a little look online, and they do seem to have more available. Odd.

They flew to Manchester going up but got the coach home I believe. As for the pitch, it was absolutely terrible. I wasn't far from pitch level and the ball was taking at least 4 or 5 bobbles on each pass.

Spot on. Nothing winds me up more then all this "it's just another game" nonsense. This is the Skates FFS, I highly doubt their fans are saying similar.

Just got back to the hotel, brilliant travelling support. We were **** but could have been different if we'd had converted the 3 sitters in the first half. Move on.

Suspect THEVMAN was alluding to just lambert! Quite big news in itself I suspect.

Sibley confirms no lambert

Have also heard Lambert is out today.

Heading up around lunch time, third "weekender" up there and we've drawn the other two, so hoping third time lucky.

Oh do be quiet.

We are staying in Boro and drinking there. Far too much effort and hassle to get to Newcastle after, but then we are lazy.

All of them.

Think it's by the King Alfred statue. It's definitely that end of Winchester.

I went to school with her, she is no longer Miss Southampton. HTH.

Can't wait for this one. Half day on Friday, drive up and then back Sunday, then a lovely 2 weeks off.

Our team that day Davis Perry Molyneux JP Saeijs James Holmes Morgan Surman Saganowski Wright-Phillips Mcgoldrick *Shudder*

I think it's brilliant. I'm struggling to think of a man I hate in football more then that complete idiot Dalglish. Harry perhaps, but then at least he isn't Scottish.

It's better then having to go to your brothers wedding on the first day of next season, having not missed a single game this season...

Yes it has. The date coincides with the olympic torch going around the stadium, which will be at some point during the day.
