Saint-Armstrong

Obviously not the whole thing, but some might say the whole song is insensitive so to sing a section would be so too.

Yep, what I was hinting at. Could be a tad near the knuckle though, "He gets knocked down" "He drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a cider drink" etc. and "Ohh Danny Boy". Certainly fits, just could be deemed insensitive, I find it worth a giggle but hey ho.

Great to hear Danny is expecting out this week, and hopefully can work towards a full recovery. What will we sing when he gets back then? "One Danny Seaborne!" or can someone be imaginative. I've got an idea but it might not be appreciated by some, although it might make others laugh though. Anyone come up with something really creative.

I've heard him saying "Southampton Football Club" in interviews before.

...(insert name). Who are the top 5 worst and best chairmen/owners around now in your opinion? (Can base opinion on previous clubs - e.g. Ridsdale) I got the inspiration for this thread from this cringe-worthy video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC2_ZXYEZf8&feature=player_embedded Thank god we have Cortese and not some clown like that.

Video now on SaintsPlayer. People on it include: Fans: Nick Derham Emma Lewis Players' Wives: Rebecca Butterfield Emily Chaplow Speaking to the Butterfield and Chaplow couples afterwards they say: Butterfield is scared of heights and a bit emotional. Chaplow would do the jump, and says he took out an insurance policy in case Emily didn't make it, so he could pay off the house. For those that can see the video, I know a few jumped including OptimisticSaints, are you in there?!

Jordan Sibley An official statement on Dan Seaborne will be on the official website within the next few mins. Docs say he is stable & improving

Danny Butterfield... guy looks a bit like this?

I've read in a few places now, Saints in for Celtic centre-back Jos Hooiveld, it's been reported that Jos wanted a move. Apparently Saints, Palace and Coventry all interested. http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/celtic/268230-jos-hooiveld-hoping-for-deadline-day-move/

Anyone had any, surely some of you have? Come on... you can share yours...

Lets tear them a new one? What team would you play and will there be any new faces?

MK Fans told us Baldock had signed...

Leicester sold their games to an Asian TV company, all their home games are shown live in Asia. That's why there are feeds.

B*llocks. Now I need to find a refund on the tickets and cancel my Premier Inn booking.

This is the one time I hope Sky do throw their weight around with regards to football.

Me neither.

Join Saints, a side who see him as part of a first team set up, with young hungry players looking to progress to the top flight, or West Ham, who in all likelyhood will go up and chuck him on the scrapheap and bring back the big names?

What happens if Saints, inevitably, finish 9th?

Bristol City's Liam Fontaine set to sign for Southampton. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14645578.stm

It's a Nasri situation.

In fairness he was about 18/19 at the time. Anyway, Sven confirmed post match that Waghorn wants to leave and has interest.

That's it, I'm adding Rupes on my Skype.

Jim Magilton?

Sending Out A Message Many have said we have sent shockwaves through the league, surprised a few, caused some raised eyebrows and made other teams sit up and take notice. But really does seem to be the case. Reading this week's edition of the Football League Paper, they were full of praise for Saints style of play, saying it is at times one touch and a joy to watch. They comment that Millwall struggled first half due to our "hogging" nature of play. We are also often described as being "in control". They particularly heap praise on Jack Cork, who they say runs the midfield, and Rickie who the say drops into space, creating more space and gets involved in a lot of build up play. After criticism from Saints fans of poor coverage it was certainly nice to see this: And after being asked if we are sending a message to the league, Adkins said he believed so, this is echoed by Doncaster skipper Richard Naylor, who says he sees it being West Ham and Southampton battling it out for the title: Just for the record, TFLP had the following ratings for the Saints Players: Davis - 8, Richardson - 7, Fonte - 7, Seaborne - 7, Harding - 6, Guly - 7, Hammond - 7, Cork - 8, Lallana - 7, Connolly - 7, Lambert - 9. Lambert also got into Team of The Week. Just though some would like to read this and hear of some good coverage rather than some of the widely criticised non-coverage of recent days. And they finish with a lovely picture: DTLW
