So will you now be wearing your clowns gear, gimp gear or wig ?

not won in our last two...that can not continue surely ?

Understand what you're saying but there is some similarity there between Cov & Hull. Main difference for me is that West Ham don't have the expectation, and burden of failure hanging over them from a single match.

We hope.

Perhaps the team will save us the neede to debate it further. Agree it should be for a REAL trophy - if and when.

There is absolutely no point in just relying on others...we had the chance to secure it on Saturday and blew it. West Ham need to score at Leicester after a 1-1 scoreline at halftime and manage it. We, on the other hand,did not manage to force Steele into a save in the second half (yes, ref was a cvnt,and a p!ss poor decision re trip on Lallana bu tthats only part of the story). That said, come on Leicester ..sort it out

"cold weather kit ?" Christ on a bike - don't let kit manufacturers see that (excuse) !!

Sunderland had a kit you've described in the early 1980's , it was not that good to be honest.

Agree, I was not picking a 'Guly argument' on the point, but as you are aware it can soon spiral into a witch hunt on here (and I am by no means a member of the 'Guly Defence League' as someone termed it ater the pompey match). There were however a number of other contributory factors yesterday though, not just the loss of our shape on the right hand side of midfield.

Agree that at this critical stage of the season it is prudent to have a sub GK. I don't agree re Guly though. I have been one of his critics after some lacklustre displays, but you can't really lay the blame for yesterday's defeat on him. On the topics of subs though I was disappointed that we were short of a real attacking option there. Was SDR injured ? Ideally I would have liked an option of SDR or Barnard to join the attack as we pressed for a wiiner, let alone equaliser.

I saw Puncheon getting off the team bus yesterday at M/boro but, as others also suggest, I think he is surplus to requirements.

Vectis provides the very reason that statistics as given by Glasgow_Saint, although intended to comfort us, just scare the sh!t out of me. No club bottom at Christmas has ever stayed up c2005. That was WBA sorted then wasn't it ?

Good luck to Hearts in the final.Always been my preferred club up there and in fairness I liked Skacel when he was with Saints. He could not be held responsible for the pre-signing hype, nor the fact that a bufoon signed him to play him largely out of position.

We are also staying in Durham, so will look out for a Saints shirt around there tomorrow niight.

Wasn't that Mick Channon's debut ? And yes, at Orient in '78 - remember the wall collapsing - two-thirds of the crowd seemed to be Saints fans, and going tomorrow.

M Phillips Rodriguez After that, a decent GK (Butland at Birm if they don't go up), and CB.

Lets wait to see if we sell 4,000 before we start bleating about the allocation.

Now obtained tickets - so two from Glos will be there, probably have a 90 mile advantage on most of you but still a long haul. Last visit to M/boro' was Jan 1982 when we went top. Bloody cold that day, at least this won't be played in arctic conditions.

the English.

Come on chaps, this is all a bit rich coming from us as we were seen for many years after Lawrie left as a club that merely managed to survive and make up the numbers. Unfair. Fulham have to survive in the competition of more glamorous neighbours in the capital and all in all are pretty inoffensive.Although I can't stand the owner there, at least they have no delusions of their importance and right to be in the top flight, QPR for example just a grown up version of Brentford.Any club giving Mark Hughes a managerial job needs formal Football Authority 'sectioning' in my book. Everton, their 'worth' is that they share the same city as Liverpool, so have 'great witty scouse fans'.Everton are amongst the most detestable clubs in the league - 1984 and all that. I question the worth of Barnet and Macclesfield.Would anyone notice if they slipped out of the league ?

I heard Kraftwerk record 'The Model' on the radio the other day. This was played at half time at Middlesboro' in 1982, we beat them and went top of the league that day. (I know because I was there - as Max Boyce used to say).

Indeed. As a resident of Cheltenham I've often floated his name to Chelt fans who remember his time with them in the southern league.Not too popular here I'm afraid.

Terry Paine also played fpr Hereford

Not an all night candle lit vigil then ?

John Sydenham ?
