  1. Also From @_EnglishLeague on twitter: Southampton are ready to make Rangers midfielder Steve Davis their highest earner. #saintsfc Don't know what this guys reliability is like when it comes to rumours, just thought I'd put it out there.
  2. Check the first 1-7 pages of this thread and you will find that image comes from this very forum!
  3. The journey really has been incredible. The extreme dissappointment of relegation. The season after we came down and I was still walking with a swagger as we were now a 'premiership team in the championship' and were going to annihilate every team we played against... Then the 0-0 to Wolves to kick off the season, the 1-1 against Hull at home, the loss at QPR with Quashie missing a well earned penalty brought me back down to earth, and we only avoided a 2nd successive relegation by putting in a bit of hard work in the last 6/7 games of the season if I remember rightly. And a fantastic 2-0 win at relegated Brighton. The highs and lows of the 06/07 play-off season I'll always remember, where it was basically go for broke bring in a sh1t load of players and hope we go up or we were in the sh!t Then the just barely hanging in there seasons of 07/08, 08/09 and the extreme lows of relegation to League 1. Then the truly fantastic years of 09/10, 10/11, 11/12 and voila! Back in the FUC_KING PREMIER LEAGUE!! It's been a tough 7 years but it just makes our eventual promotion back to the Premier League all the sweeter, never dreamed in the Summer of 2009 when the Club was at rock bottom that in 3 years time we'd be preparing to kick off our Premier League campaign! Truly incredible. Just to add: The losses to Rochdale and Walsall in 10/11 genuinely disturbed me at the time and Saints being Saints I thought the wheels were going to come off and we'd end up getting a play-off spot instead of the 2nd automatic promotion place. The same happened with the losses to Bristol City home and away, Leicester at home and Brighton away where I thought the wheels were going to come off too...but good ol' Nige kept the wheels on the bus turning
  4. Personally I used to go with atmosphere everytime and sat in the Northam right near the back. But in the last 2 seasons I just can't be arsed with the standing up and being packed in like sardines so I've been sitting Block 7/8/9 in the Itchen. The atmosphere is like a library but the view of the pitch and the match is sublime.
  5. Italy have looked pretty ineffective so far this tournament. They played well against Spain but didn't exactly set the world on fire against Croatia and Ireland IMHO. Will be a tough match, but IF (and it's a big if) England play their best football we'll win 1/2/3-0 maybe.
  6. Will people buying new season tickets get the same neat welcome pack and season ticket I wonder...
  7. According to my calculations 28 people think we'll stay up, and 5 reckon we'll go down in this thread.
  8. Maybe he's just gone on his period?
  9. Yes Dalek, that's a POSITIVE prediction this year!
  10. Top: 1. Manchester City 2. Chelsea 3. Manchester United Bottom: 18. Norwich 19. West Brom 20. Swansea SAINTS - 5th
  11. Where did you get that document from? Can't see it on the OS anywhere? Is it the ST welcome pack?
  12. Anyone know when Sky rearrange the fixtures and the Premier League Handbook comes out?
  13. Just said 4 posts up ^^^ Palace V Norwich 2004/05 season
  14. Also, it's not happened since the 2004/05 season that a promoted team (Crystal Palace) played another promoted team (Norwich) in their opening fixture of the season.
  15. Lawyer'd http://kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=141072&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=80
  16. Just looked on KUMB (WHUFC forum) and there is one poster on there called Jammys78 or something that says this exact same thing. So I assume your 'good authority' is one bloke/women on the KUMB messageboard with only 145 posts to his name on there I presume?
  17. I won't be selling it until after I have my new phone, so probably 14th-20th July something like that. Envirofone have offered me £315 for it already, and o2 Recycle have offered me £330. If you can match/exceed that then I may be interested.
  18. Got an iPhone 4S 32gb at the moment. Getting my upgrade on the 14th July and since the new iPhone 5 didn't get announced by Apple at WWDC 2012 I have no choice but to go down to Android route as I'm extremely impatient and can't be bothered to wait until the end of October for the iPhone 5 release. Anyway, I'm considering the Samsung Galaxy S3 or the HTC One X when I get my upgrade, anyone got any first hand experiences on here of either phones?
  19. Next stop drunkenness....brah.
