Leaving Pothas high and dry on 49!

282 for 5 - draw looks fairly certain now.

Extraordinary result - Aussies were far superior but we did a backs-to-the-wall rearguard action! I still think we need some changes - particularly some bowlers!

No it's not all bad at all - but I would like us to do well in the CC :smt039

87 for 3 in the second innings - Carberry out for 52. Defeat looms.

No - awful idea.

225 for 9 - all wickets out caught. Stiff has taken five. We're still 285 behind them.

215 for 8 - carberry out - follow on and defeat beckons

186 for 5 - Carberry still there - everyone else letting us down.

Hants are 157 for 4 - Carberry is 103 no - steady collapse at the other end. I can see us following on here and losing. We seem to have gone to pot in the championship.

Sorry not to join in the general hysteria but Pearson is exactly what we do not need. We need someone who will attract players, get them fully fit and play good football - not what Pearson has done up here.

Somerset eventually bowled out for 510 and we're 79 for 0. I'd like to see us do a bit better in the Championship.

Well i have to say that Strauss is a very very poor captain. His choice of bowlers is utterly predictable and he has no imagination - why didn't he at least try a few overs by KP or Bopara? Strauss alsa seems unable to motivate the team or raise spirits when they're down. I fear he is not goign to pass muster.

Roy keane -no thank you very much after his behaviour when we were relegated by ManUre.

I don't think it will be Tony Adams - I sincerely hope not.

I have had several messages from fans of various clubs saying how pleased they are for us! A Charlton fan has wished us well and delighted that our historic club has been saved, and a Coventry fan has said Saints are a well-liked club across the country and people are pelased we have been saved. A Bury fan has also said he's delighted. Several Leicester fans have made positive comments and one did say he was a bit jealous as we have a big moneyman behind us now. We have some friends out there!

Onwards and upwards (hopefully).

Thank you for your loyalty and for your efforts in very difficult circumstances.

Starting with minus 10 points doesn't help at all -we will do very well tof inish in the play offs.

Strachan starts next week.

I like his loyalty - but KD let in an awful lot of goals last season. Just look at the league table!

Well I certainly hold MLT in the highest regard - he has done more for SFC than any other player I can think of.

I've been away -l et me add my congratulations to the team for an excellent result at Old Trafford. Things are looking good! Now we have to beat our old enemy on 25 July.

There are quite a few harsh people on here.

I think the Football league come out of this very badly indeed.
