Get in Fonte!!!!!!!

Difficult one, that. Not sure which is the better, playing a Plymouth with nothing to play for if already relegated or playing a Plymouth that will attack us in a bid to stay up that may open them up for us... Not sure which I'd prefer TBH...

Get in, come on Saints, get a 2nd, help my nails, nerves, heart, shakes, beer and cigarette consumption... whatever it takes to help calm me down!!! Ta!

Get the **** in!!!!!!!!!!! YeSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Get in Connolly, now come on Saints, get a winner !

Jeez, not only did I lose my finger nails waiting for the final whistle but I've lost the tips of my fingers too!

Has almost every other poster gone to Orient today, strangely quiet on here for a match day when we're away from Home!

I was happy when Bournemouth were promoted to League 1 this Season and hoped they'd do well, I was still pleased to see them doing well and in the Play Off positions early on in the Season too and maintaining it. I did however waiver slightly in my opinion of Bournemouth when seeing some of the bile being spouted from their supporters towards us, that from a club that I'd been quite happy to support as a 2nd team which had in my past had a friendly business connection with a then member of my family. Since both of our Home and Away fixtures with Bournemouth have now been fulfilled I've found that a lot of the vitriol from them has gone and I find myself hoping they can keep their campaign going again, but not at our expense of course! The same pretty much goes for Brighton too, and I expect that our "rivalry" with them too has only been due to the closeness of promotion between us all this season, I don't recall any previous maliciousness between us or even the Saints V Spurs incident until we found ourselves in the same league as Promotion contenders (Brightons Trophy now )... I don't recall hearing it mentioned last season when neither of us were Promotion bound? I remember the final game at The Dell as a good natured friendly between both sets of fans... if I recall a Brighton fan in the East Stand removed his seat and held it aloft thinking he was the first to start dismantling The Dell when virtually the whole Archers End raised their own removed seats too in response that was met with a cheer and clapping around the ground followed by more removed seats from Brighton raised in gesture as a fun goodbye, none were used or thrown in anger, it was all good natured and fun and continued to be after the following pitch invasion and in the pubs after. Again with Brighton and with all at stake this Season, I have a momentary dislike of them as a football team at times, and only because in the same manner as Bournemouth their fans look for further reasons to dislike us when in the past it hadn't been such an issue... as per last game at The Dell. To answer the OP, yes... fans can shape the opinion of the Club, as closest neighbours to Portsmouth you need look no further, even a friend who supports Pompey can offer a compliment to a Saints performance or player but you'll still wonder if he means it when he smiles. A couple of other slightly different examples: In Upper West Stand at The Dell I was lumped by a Leeds fan when I cheered our only goal in a 3-1 home defeat around 94/95, and getting set upon by a few West Ham fans and pummelled in a shop door way when we beat them I think 2-0 despite a Jason Dodd sending off are reasons I will always dislike these two Clubs in particular, and no, both of these were unprovoked attacks while sat in a home enclosure cheering a saints goal and walking back to my car alone after a game. Teams I do like are Blackburn and Norwich in particular, not only because of the games but because of the fans before, during and after the games I've experienced too. Both Home and Away whether we've Won, Lost or Drawn them I've always found fans of both these clubs likeable, despite our brush with Norwich in the JPT and who could forget the 4-5 at Carrow Rd and the 4-3 at St. Marys. Overall, I think a lot of our opinions and feelings toward other Clubs depend on our own experiences with them day to day, and I suppose why Pompey are our closest rivals and Bouremouth, Brighton aren't and never have been except for the few that may have had closer incidents in the past until now.

Get in Bournemouth, good result tonight.

RIP Dean, sad news.

Trouble is the disc error isn't exclusive to xbox either, I have the exact same issue with my PS3, it worked fine for a year or so and then just stopped reading any discs. It has been this way for over 18 months now and sits useless beneath my TV gathering dust. I've been told that as it's out of warranty I could exchange it at a cost for a reconditioned model... not sure I'm happy with this either as mine is an earlier model with features not included on later ones. Maybe it will be my only option as at least a reconditioned one will work but would just prefer mine was fixed at an even smaller cost, but nowhere does this apparently

Thank you all, duly exchanged today.

I received an old Elgar £20.00 note earlier this week but only noticed today, anyone know if I can still get this changed at a Bank or Post Office?

Off the ****ing post! Grrrr!!!!!

Get in there Guly!!!!!!!!

Hope this result gives the team a much needed lift and confidence restored to get onwards and upwards.

Get the **** in! About time!!!!

I ****ing hate Swindon!

Bouzy Rouge is closing down??

Get in!!!!!

A friend of mine who works at SFC heard that he died late this afternoon.

Stunned, RIP Markus and Thank you for all you have done for us, you will always be remembered. Thoughts are with his family.

This is the thing though, the atmosphere has never been the same at St Marys as it was at The Dell. In some ways, I miss The Dell and in others not. But the main thing I miss at St Marys is the atmosphere we used to have. There was a time when all stands at The Dell used to get behind the team and you could clearly see the east and west stands clapping and singing along with the Milton and Archers, the WHOLE ground would be animated, don't really see this now, and I dont think we ever have at St Marys on the same scale as we did at The Dell, whatever we had there, why haven't we been able to take that same atmosphere to St Marys. Whats' the answer, we're still the same fans, supporting the same team, the ground got bigger, but what other than that changed?
