What was the first thing NC said when he took us over? I remember Adam Blackmore (I think? or another BBC reporter) going around St Mary's with him and he said ''That trophy cabinet is rather bare, we need to sort that out" Well in 3 years we've added 3 to it.....amazing 3 years to be a saints fan.

Don't think I could do that! I put a bet on last night because it was kind of win-win, if WHU win I pocket £160 odd (oh yes!) and we have it in our hands on the last day....but if they didn't win, I lose 60 but we'd have had a premiership team! Betting on this weekend would be too much for me...

We do still get a trophy for 2nd tbf, albeit a little thing.

I think we could all relax at that point and plan for our trips to Old Trafford next year.

That's a big plus from this game, the fact that the GD remains pretty much untouched. It's a slim advantage but it's still a decent advantage and WHU need to do alot more than us to win their game. We can win 1-0 and job done. Hull have one of the best defensive records in the league, so I can't see this being a drumming. As long as we don't lose I think we'll be ok, but to be honest if we don't win this one it will be a criminal offence.

Their front 2 are on a combined wage of around 45k p/w (Beckford 30k, nudget around 15k). Painful waste of money. Then you've got Mills, 30k p/w and £5/6m and he doesn't even play!

Cov fan on their injuries: Our injury situation? Err mmm. Deegan- injured, Clingan - injured, Hermann - injured, Christie- injured, Wood- injured, Cameron - injured, Bell - injured, Nimely -injured, Keogh - suspended.

You will give us a right hiding so don't lose any sleep over us. We only have one away win all season and that is not about to change on Saturday. As for Nimely he is out injured along with just about everyone else, the bench will be made up of kids without a first team game between them. So thats Nimley out as well.

We will win this trophy

We're not as good without him. I'd say your discription above relates to De Ridder more than Chaplow.

Lambert will score a hat-trick to hit 30 league goals in the championship.

Not sure how you make Chaplow being out as a positive.

He's not good enough, he looked like a little boy lost in his first 45mins. and that's why we've seen the last of him. Obviously he's offered nothing in training, otherwise he'd have been on the bench a couple of times. It was a gamble we made when Lallana had a knock, but luckily he came back quickly and then we obviously had the return of Puncheon - something else we didn't expect when we signed him. He's been decent for the development team though and probably offers decent tests on the training field for our defenders.

I can't see that coming, no.

Davis Fraser (if fit) Fonte - Jos - Fox De Ridder - Morgan - Cork - Lallana Lambert - Sharp

Coventry city have the worst away record in the entire football league I believe. They are without their captain and player of the season. They are without one of their main midfielders They no squad depth and their bench was made up of 16 and 17 year olds in the last game. They will be forced to play 16 and 17 year olds in some positions on Saturday We have the leagues best player and top goal scorer. We are 2 pts ahead, better Goal difference and more goals scored We have the best attacking midfielder in the league Even when we play badly, we still create chances. We will have 32,000 fans cheering us on. Sorted.

The drinks would then be on you.

Ahh, other clubs have the dreaded tv 'curse'' too. "We're even worse in front of the cameras"

They have no other centre backs available. So it will have to be him.

No! Although they did take an early lead which didn't help matters.

A 16 year old youth team product is set to make his debut.

I would have to say the same, as fans we'd be demoralized and the players would ultimately feel the same. We're on a very poor run of form at the moment, no 2 ways about it, and if we do end up int he playoffs we will be on our worst run of the season. Therefore we'd have no chance in my book. But it won't happen, so it's all academic.

Totally, cannot wait. Not sure what I can do to speed this week up, as it's already dragging.

It is.
