He's a Canadian international and Toronto FC player so he's a big sh1t around here I guess...

Went into the pantry to get a tea bag for my half time cuppa and who' picture do I see on the side of the nutella jar? None other than ex-Saints Jim Brennan. Good omen?

...and Hammond vs P'boro...

Who ****ing cares? he's gone now, we have who we have and so be it, you can't say what would have happened so why bother beating yourself up about it?

Lot of extreme reactions on this board. - negative, we are ****ed brigade, Adkins/Cortese/Doris tea lady OUT!!! - positive, no problems, we got this sown up, we just have to beat team *insert name here* and we'll walk that match. Is there anyone out there like me, I HOPE we will win, I won't come out and say, "no problem, we'll win easy", but I won't throw a tantrum if we go 1-0 down or lose. Maybe Saints have damaged me to such an extreme that I can't invest any confidence or emotion in them anymore. As the season progresses I find myself thinking, "love it if we could get that 2nd spot, but dreading the playoffs, but if we don't go up then so be it, Saints'll still be there, football will be football, no use getting bent out of shape about something I can't even control, I have bigger more important things to occupy my waking thoughts with".

I use this site, it does simulations based on probability to predict the outcome of the season. It updates after every game so gets more and more accurate. I use it for NHL but noticed it has football too. They have us at 41% chance to be promoted (down by 11% following yesterday's defeat). They have us to finish 3rd at the moment and we only have a 9% chance of missing the playoffs. Make of it what you will: http://www.sportsclubstats.com/England/LeagueOne.html

Oh Saints, almost 30 years supporting you, WHY did I expect anything to be different. Looks like another season in the doldrums for us...SAME OLD SAINTS...

Probably a dozen firemen dressed as Cyndi Lauper...

Good stuff, that'll teach them (the gooners and their fans) for being so ****ing arrogant with their half-hearted "meh, it's only the FA Cup" when they beat us in the final in 03, they've barely won a trophy since...

ffs adkins out, again Saints show no mental toughness, Man U would be able to prevent another team who they aren't even playing from scoring. Terrible substitutions etc etc blah blah /game /season keague 2 here we come...

get the **** in, put those razor blades down, Ricky!!!!!!!!!!!!1

RIP Dean, absolutely gutted by this news. Amazing player, utterly gifted, his positioning, movement and ability to track the ball in dangerous situations was excellent when he played for us. Very sad day.

"a year in the Championship will do us good, imagine, winning almost every week, we'll be straight back up, maybe with some silverware..."

How sexist of you to assume the Batistuta being referred to is a man...

I hate choreographed celebrations with a passion...

This is Saints though, we'd find a way to totally **** it up...

Bah, supporting Saints doesn't get any easier...

Look out for gangs of short sinewy men, roaming the countryside, terrifying people with their close-harmony singing...

Romsey was a troll that was at least good at what he did. Have to admit that I laughed at quite a lot his antics and he was able to get under the skin at times. This latest bunch of attempts to troll today by the usual suspects, were, to be honest substandard. None of it was remotely funny. The attempts to shock were pretty amateur, overall I was thoroughly disappointed. Is trolling so common these days that everyone is into it and the standard has decreased? I think so.

Could be any number of things, best let the doctor do a full check up on you, I mean your friend and send some samples away for analysis.

Why do we always get spazzes posting Ali Dia in worst player threads? He played all of 15 minutes and hit a post. We're looking for players who played week in week out despite being utterly useless, cost a bloody fortune in wages and transfer fee and kept better players out of the team.

Hammond~~~ beauty corner and finish!!!!

All winning but a few will swing back in our favour. If not then meh, it frustrating but Saints don't control any of this, they can only go out and try and win every game from now on in.

MK dongs are 1-0 up at Sheff Wed
