I like League 1 and I am looking forward to watching Bury at St Mary's if we dont get promoted Bury was the First team I saw at the Dell in 1962

Just got back in and cannot believe the result I was pretty sure we were going to win tonight Dont know what to expect from our next game

I am sorry that you feel that this thread is arrogant and premature but if you look at the Championship Table you will notice that both Leeds and Norwich are in the playoffs. So I was thinking whether it would be possible for SFC to be in the play offs next season not it is going to be easy to get to the PL

Not sure we need any tactics as we should win easily

You are rather a drama queen just relax and go out an put a few Euros on Saints for Promotion at 4/11 I doubt whether the Liebherrs will sell up until we are in the PL

Do you mean do-able or will get promoted. Promotion is do-able and I think we will be promoted even with the bookies we are odds on at 4/11 But this is football nothing is certain look at Arsenal yesterday but we will only be promoted when no other club can not be promoted which could be sometime in April Why not relax and enjoy the rest of the season we may well get promoted but if we dont there is always next year and in the real world it is not that important.

I think it may show that the standard of Championship is not that strong and the teams that have done well in League 1 and have been in the PL have every chance of getting there. So the 5 Year Plans looks to be on Schedule

I mean next seaon in the Championship if we get promoted as I noticed both Leeds and Norwich teams that were in League 1 last seaon are in the play off positions now

Yes I agree with that although I think it is more important to beat Bournemouth which we have already done twice this season

If we perform like we have done in the last eight home games and nine away games we will get 81 points Not as good as last season but OK for second spot probably If the other clubs perfom as they have done this season Brighton 93 points Bournemouth 78 Huddersfield 77 Charlton 72 Peterborough 72

Me too We do have a squad with very good experienced players Davis Butterfield Fonte Jaidi Hammond Chaplow Lambert Plus some very good younger players OXO Schederlein Lallana and Gully Plus better than average League 1 players Richardson Dickson Barnard and Harding So what Adkins has achieved so far I think is only par as I am constantly expecting some really good results but both results and performances have been slightly disappointing recently so lets hope for six points in the next week. If we dont beat both Swindon and Walsall which we should do comfortably I think most fans will be a little concerned about Promotion although I cannot really see us not finishing in the top six

I AGREE WITH WINDOW CLEANER By the way what has adkins done which makes him good He has done OK but I would have thought that most managers would have done as well and possibly better

The differences between Southampton and Brighton are 1 Brighton have not sacked their manager this season 2 Brighton have enhanced their team whereas Saints have a new RB and Guly 3 Brighton probably do not have a CEO demanding Promotion

Eight points from our last five games is that good enough?

Yes I was going to suggest that title too

I think I would be worried if I was a Charlton Huddersfield or Bournemouth Supporter

Ray was the third best of the brothers But both Rodney and Danny were very good. I saw Danny make his debut at Old Trafford and as he played once for England I will go for him

Yes there were lots of great goals at the Dell in that era but the best one I remember is the David Burnside Equaliser in 1963 v Nottm Forest in the 6th Round of the Cup. The Dell was absolutely full in fact we were heading for the Milton Road End but it was so crowded we ended up under the East Stand 3 0 down with 12 mins to go and we ended up 3 3 and thrashed them 5 0 at Tottenham in the second replay apart from 1976 the best match I ever saw

Although Gabriel was an attacking Wing Half he like Dave Walker became a member of the back four with No 5 on his back - there were no squad numbers then But we played 4 2 4 not 2 3 5 I thought

Yes I remember listening to that goal on the Radio in Paris

I am really pleased that you don’t read the Daily Mail but I am not sure you fully understand the Economy of the UK which has had other periods of high budget deficits during recent years. So it is a common economic occurrence as we have all had to pay for the policies of past governments so I think it is a little dramatic the way you are describing the situation . I do accept that the current budget deficit is high but this due to the bailout of the banks during the global financial crisis if the Labour Government had not acted in the manner it did supporting the banks the situation would be a great deal worse . With regard to other comments about the cuts I fully support the Labour plan of reducing the defect within four years as this would give a better chance for the economy to grow with less unemployment and loss of public services. A lot of the cuts in my borough will affect children and young people by withdrawing support for pre school age children and support for young adults to get into employment as well as young carers. I think the more we can do for children and young people to reach their full potential the better it will be for them and society in general. But the extra cuts being made by the Tories will probably lead here to more teenage pregnancies and trouble with teenagers because of the withdrawal of help for troubled families. Most redundancies will affect some local people and cause concern to them as well as reducing tax income and probably increasing the welfare bill

Possibly could be our entry into the European Song Contest

I do not know anything about Mitchell so I cannot comment bournemouth are doing really well at the moment and should be congratulated on what they have achieved this season on limited resources

84 will probably be enough to get into second position I would have thought I cannot see other clubs getting more than 84 apart from Brighton Spreading betting site is interesting http://bettingzone.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-one/total-points

I dont really see what Nick I has done wrong It was quite obvious the club was in the wrong in the first place which has now been agreed by an independent organisation I think that Mr cortese may not understand that most people he has found fault with want the club to succeed and fans to be treated fairly I certainly want that myself
