Saint Fan CaM

Of course that's true - I would suggest that there is a good chance an offer to Oldham has been or will be made if the Sun has some truth to it, although I reckon that's agent speak trying to justify the price tag.

Discraceful behaviour from two mindless morons. Somewhat daft idea allowing a kid to wear a Pompey shirt in Southampton and I would guarantee a similar if not more aggressive reaction if a lad wore a Saints shirt around any part of Pimpley.

This, although I think Dale Stephens may get a contract offer. He will be behind Hammond, Chaplow and Morgan for selection to CM and frankly we would be hard placed to find as good a CM player with his potential who would be willing to be bench fodder. Not convinced entirely with DC - I feel there are better options out there and we need another centre forward type player - CMS would be an ideal summer signing of intent.

I don't think there's a problem using someone else's ticket, although its probably best not to advertise it. Each match ticket is on a seperate page in a book, however the season ticket itself is also in the book and you might be requested to show this to an official or steward at a game?

I had hoped the winky would show I was only kidding. If it helps, row W where I am is about half-way up the stands (same row as Nicola BTW). Also, in the Kingsland seats numbered 782 are on the aisle of block 30 closest to the half-way line. Perhaps someone could tell you other key aisle seat numbers to build a picture?

I will contribute when the website is up and running (good idea to use Paypal as an option, although do you not have to pay a lot of commission to them for the privelage?). I also like the idea of keeping the project going through the stages of Markus' and Nicola's plan. In fact, it should also be made clear that Nicola had a BIG part to play in getting Markus to SMS in the 1st place and then orchestrating the plan. NB: A little surprised that this site is not able to host such a good idea given that the seed was sown via here.

It will go to the last game of the season. At 75m we will be drawing against Walsall and Hudders will also be drawing - the next goal being the one that seals 2nd place. It never comes, meaning we go up on GD.

jcl. (;

Fantastic result again. Can't get used to this winning run feeling! Not in the bag yet by some stretch as Hudders just keep on winning too. Got to hope Brighton show some spirit to win the final game at the Withdean.

Mix of REALLY looking forward to today and also of feeling slightly nervous that the team will be sore from Saturday's excellent effort. Having said that, under normal circumstances I would fully expect Saints to win this comfortably 2-0. I am hoping for a categoric thrashing of Hartlepool however - we're due to hand one out somewhen soon. I hope the SMS faithful raise the roof today and roar the team one step closer to auto-promotion. COME ON YOU SAINTS!

What great team spirit that win will instill in the lads. You could see how much it meant for Jose and the rest of them! Top, top result and 2nd spot really is ours for taking now.

I agree - would like to see a red and black sash though, with a red and white sash on the black away kit.

Anyone who thinks the owners will be investing huge new money into the club, IMO, are not living in the real world. So what kind of transfer pot do YOU think Adkins will have in the summer then (assuming we go up)? >£3m....>£10m? Just asking.

Wouldn't put money on it fella.

Has he signed yet? And what is Twitter anyway?

I'm going for no.9. That's a really nice dish and it comes with egg fried rice to boot.

We do, because you said we do. And you will be held to account if you're wrong, mark my words.

LOL - don't be a dork...you know what I meant - we will probably lose, but my prediction is 1-1. Meh.

With a £7m shortfall in operating costs this last season, the vast majority of any transfer fee money will not go directly to Adkins coffers. He might see £3m to bolster the squad if he's lucky (possibly not enough IMO to sort us out for a push at the Championship playoffs). If Alex wants to go to Arse, nothing will stop him and for what it's worth I think that's why we've got Forte here to 'replace' Alex. We will see another signing but I don't think (and hope) N'Guessien will be invited to stay.

We will lose this probably. Squad is starting to look a little depleted and the 1st team starting to look a little jaded. Bumchums 1 : Saints 1.

We won - that's all that matters until the next game. My biggest fear is the number of players getting crocked by cynical fouls or from trying to go for a difficult ball. The tally is getting worse every game - we're fortunate our defence has not had too many injuries to this point. Concerned that this weekend will see us slip back 1-2 places as I don't think Brighton will want to take their foot off the pedal now - there's some bad blood for some reason and they will want the win. The big test will come next Monday - how the players react and what kind of team Adkins can field. I am hoping Lallana has been rested for the Brighton match and that Morgan will be back to bolster the midfield either Saturday or the home game. I think Guly will partner Lambert with Connolly coming off the bench. We will draw at Brighton and win on Monday - will that be enough to stay 2nd? Who knows.

Well I didn't say it would define his ability - just his future. The rationale for my statement is that I see this game as the pivotal point in the run-in...win and we keep hold of 2nd or indeed gain needed confidence in the squad to start to move ahead...lose and we could easily see ourselves drop to 3rd which in turn could trigger a drop in form and if that leads to not going up auto, then all bets are off. I would not be confident of our chances in the play-off lottery and another season in L1 would not be tolerated IMO.

Make no mistake, this game will define Adkins future.

This plus SMS decked in red and white, whether it's sash or stripes.
