Really really excited to finally see Billy Sharp in a Saints shirt.

We need to get back to the sort of form we had before November. Decent result tonight, but Brum away on saturday is an even tougher test. I still believe we can finish top 2 but improvement needed for sure. Come on Saints

Punch hasn't played alot recently, was never gonna last 90 mins COME ON SAINTS

Get in. Let's win this now. Come on boys!

Penalty! (finally)

Just got in, pressed play on saintsplayer, and we concede immediately. Sorry.

KD Richardson - Fonte - Martin - Fox Guly - Hammond - Cork - Lallana - Lambert - Connolly - Can see this being the line up for tonight, or possibly Guly up front instead of Connolly and Punch or SDR on the right.

Ravel Morrison is a little ****. Can't see him being anything but a hindrance to WHU's promotion campaign. Still, he'll probably get on with fat Sam like a house on fire.

I can't believe everyone is leaving out Forte.

This is tough, but I have to go with: -----------------Davis------------- Richardson - Fonte - Hooiveld - Fox Chaplow - Hammond - Cork - Lallana ---------Lambert - Sharp ---------- Subs: Bart Harding Schneiderlin Puncheon Guly It means leaving out Martin, SDR, Lee, Falque etc, but I just couldn't justify their places - yet.

cracking signing! Well chuffed!

Bolton are coming into a little bit of form at the mo. Should be a good test.

If we go up and Blackburn and/or Wolves go down then we should definitely go for Robinson or Hennessey. Ben Foster would be a cracking signing too.

Got a feeling we might still bring in Sharp and a CB, possibly on loan. The squad would look strong then.

Forest 1-0 up. boo

This is ****. I'm gonna lose my voice from groaning loudly and swearing, especially if Guly and JP start. Nightmare. (seriously though, fair play to him for apologising, and NC for forgiving him. Let's hope he's like a new signing. Welcome back Punch)

It won't happen

Considering the money we have (reportedly) been willing to splash out on Hooper, we'd be mad not to at least bid for Sharp at that price. Bargain.

tbf he hasn't in this post. Alpine clearly states "whatever league we may be in..."

Fair post. I don't pretend to know the first thing about how football transfers work, but it would bloody nice to have our business sown up early in future! Of course this will be easier next season as we'll be a PL team

Meh... Hard to criticise someone playing out of position too harshly imo. However, the last thing a left-footed player playing at right back should do is allow a right-footed striker to cut inside a shoot with his right foot. Nugent finished well, but DH and Martin shouldn't be giving him that room.

Why write this as fact? It is fundamentally not true. Why not phrase it like: "In my opinion it is time to start planning for next season in the NPC, doing the transfers properly in the summer, and the new promotion push, as personally I do not believe we will go up this season." This would be a far more truthful and mature response.

Haven't felt this depressed after a Saints game for a long while. Fox, Martin, Cork, Morgan, Hammond and Guly were all shocking. Basically we looked like a team missing our key players. The positive being that we were! Easily the worst performance of the season that I've seen, we need to move on from this asap. However, if you booed, you are quite simply a bellend.

Maybe Lee is ready to play Monday but NA doesn't want to reveal this to the opposition? I wouldn't put it past him! Certainly don't think we should be worried yet. If he's not in by the end of the window, then by all means panic.

I have a 'Redknapp 38' somewhere I think. Possibly might have burned it though.
