jesus, notts look utter tripe.

2-0 game over

I remember that one. Another classic commentary line was - ''And they are running riot at Wembley" [video=youtube;-O7AIHdYAHw]

Twas a great day, although I was screwed up by the clocks. Missed the infamous 6:50 train at Soton Central....but managed to get the 7:30 one. I didn't think I'd have fond memories of standing up for an entire train journey but it was a real good laugh, great atmosphere and great banter. The day at Wembley was great, my first time at the new Wembley and we had a great view right from the top (can't remember the block name!) It's a shame we didn't bother trying to retain it!

What the hell are we supposed to do? Buy Messi just incase Lallana gets injured? Buy Aaron lennon to cover Oxo? If Adam and Chambo get injured we will be weaker - you cannot replace those players with anyone close to the same level who would be happy to sit on the bench and wait for their chance. It's unlucky they've been injured and we've got to do our best to cope with it if they're out for a couple of games.

Fonte Lallana Chambo Hammond Harding is my top 5...

Yeovil now 2-0 up on Leyton Orient.

Crikey, that'll put Brighton on 80pt's already if they hold out. What a great effort, well deserved champions IMO. But i honestly thought Swindon would scrape clear of relegation....but as it stands they are 7 clear of safety with the teams above them having 2/3 games in hand. What a bizarre swing. If Austin hadn't have miss-kicked his shot in the play-off final, they could well be sitting in the Championship right now.

Todays games........ Yeovil 1-0 up at Leyton Orient, all others 0-0.

good nights work.

oh well, didn't come to anything.

posh have a FK just outside the box...

P'boro down to 10 men Mark Little (their RB) - second yellow.

Nice one...

.

They haven't won in 7 games though, and the teams below them have started to scrape points together. They will have an edgy end to the season. We really did dodge a bullet there.

I'm not going to get too worried over tonight's games - whatever the results, although I'm sure they will be a few culprits who declare our season is over if Posh win.

But no one else would ever have a chance of winning. It would just be dominated by Alpine every year which isn't fair.

I don't think anyone is saying 20 will 100% guarantee it, or is mathematically enough. But based on the teams form around us, our form, seasons gone - 20-21 points should be enough. 28 points would equal a bit of a freak season.

Good news, he was never going to be fit for any games over this weekend anyway - which is why it's now turned into a bit of a blessing that the Plymouth game is called off. At least it gives us a good week with him, resting up, giving him the best possible chance for Saturday.

Rip

I wouldn't! Games against Exeter, Chesterfield, Rochdale and Yeovil are boring and the away games are horrendous. I want to see us compete at places like Leicester, Cardiff, Swansea etc. onwards and upwards...

Your point about Richardson is miles off though. He was a significant signing in the close season, costing near enough half a million pounds. Wages will be decent, not low, because he'd have already been on decent money at Charlton. The money really hasn't dried up, as others have said - significant investment was put forward initially to ''Build'' a team. That team has been built, however money has still been made available for the odd 1 or 2 additions to strengthen it. We don't need another mega-bucks striker or a megabucks midfielder. We already have the team in place, additions like Dale are perfect.

Yep - there'd be a loan fee involved and also a pre-agreed transfer fee for the summer. (Oldham fans speculating between 400-500k)
