deffo the guy in the cap......the earlobes are the same (for those of you who remember the great David Dein earlobe debate ;-) ) Fair play to NC for sitting with the fans.....would love to know some of the comments he overheard !!!

If you think the reaction on here is OTT you should have heard Solent on the way home last night. Merrington, Blackmore, Williams and that skate who once appeared for us (play is too strong a word, he was garbage) went into meltdown....then denied they were slagging the club off !!

I am more concerned about tonight than I am Saturday. We are expected to win, and win comfortabky tonight. Saints dont often do the expected !

You do well to remember him having a shot on target for us then !

I know he gets a bit of stick on here but Beatts seems a really decent bloke. probably grown up a bit from his younger, wilder days down here. Lovely tribute to Deano that, RIP big man.

I think they are building this game up much more than Saints are. They see it as a very very special day, the chance to beat "them up the road" and I think the pressure might tell on them. Besides, they have to lose under Bradbury at some point, and at home too ! COYS !

Its tomorrow's live Sky game at 4pm so hopefully we will see then.

Forte is injured......keep reading that Connolly and Seabourne are pressing for a return to the squad. This is obviously bull**** !

You mean the bench is crap.

Are we to assume that Chamberlain is now fully fit or is this a gamble that could back fire badly if he does real damage to his hamstring and is out for 6 weeks ?

interesting that opposing fans think the same way as I feel about Kelvin at present. he isnt filling me with the same confidence he did earlier in the season for sure.

And some people on here reckoned he was going to be an improvement on Antonio ? Oh yeah, sure................we still need a winger in my opinion and he is still not getting off the bench for Reading. FFS try and get the guy back for the rest of the season, at least we know he is capable of unsettling teams and scoring from out wide !

Excellent post......as for the last bit - win at Colchester ? No way I'm afraid.

+ 1

Followed the game by BBC text so I ask in ignorance BUT was Davis at fault for their goal ? Please let the answer be no.

According to Saints twitter you are incorrect. Flat midfield 4 with Chaplow on right BUT it will be narrow !

Oh they have a lot of odd keepers :-) Presuambly they called him back and presumably we will go and get a decent reserve as back up.

Shea gone back to Arsenal - Forecast on the bench !!! Start praying that Kelvin doesn't collide with a post or something !

As attacking fullbacks they maybe. As defending full backs, not even close.....IMO.

I would wait and see what happens this season yet.

Oh yes we did, admittedly it was only for about 10 minutes around the time they scored, but we certainly lost control at that point.

Totally agree. Someone said they thought it was Alex's best game in ages. He was much much better against Carlisle than he was today. The only thing I dont agree with is poor defending being given as a reason for Davis conceeding at his near post AGAIN ! He should have had that post covered.

BWP takes their penalties ??? Now that is funny !

Or screwed up the history of Southampton FC !!!

If our title is picked do we get a free copy of the book ? Alternatively to my earlier suggestion - "In Saints We Trust"
