Lets beat Doncaster first, eh ?

For some of us, the Askham/Lowe years still need a while to get out of the system....

I got Paul Miller talking about weeds and synchronised swimming..

They appear to be in mourning.

Just been across to KUMB. They seem to have given up catching us. Fixated only by Reading.

Sod that, he'll live, and his career isnt threatened.

Sod it, it needs posting..

Tonight couldnt have gone any better. Two sh*tty, sh*tty away games out of the way with max points. We lead WHU and Reading by the best part of two games, with 8 to go. A result one way or the other between them when they play may well be the tipping point. Can we go up by beating the Skates ?

If we'd beaten Bristol City, we'd probably already be there. *ducks*

I cant stand the tension. Off to find some pendulant breasts to admire.

bloody hell

I know what you mean, and its going to get worse with every game.

I always think "Fair play" is a pretty ambivalent response. Like he couldnt care one way or the other. Its not "Bravo" or "Well done".

I still fall about in tears when I recall that story of a match at Anfield a few years back (think it was against ManYoo) when a Scouser got so incensed by something that happened, or a ref decision, that he threw his mobile phone on the pitch. Police recovered it, traced him and now hes banned for life. Is that passion, or stupidity ???

What a load of rubbish. Turkish is entitled to his opinion. He hasnt condoned it.

Great blog. Though you will confuse the crap out of the moronic Hammers fans with the facts.

I follow Saints because I am born and bred Southampton through-and-through, and when you live away from the place you were brought up in it is logical to try to a link to keep identifying yourself with the place. If we had any other prominent sporting teams, maybe I would follow them as much. I also do enjoy watching football, though I admit I get more pleasure from my kids teams than Saints. Sorry, but its the truth. I dont mind my kids stuffing or getting stuffed, but all this grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory that Saints are synonomous for gets on my tits. Enough ?

If we miss out by only a couple of points, yes. My reasoning is we can maybe sustain the 2 points a game until the end (2.2 points over the last 10 games). By any normal standards, 2 points per game is good. But West Ham (1.7 points per game over last 10) might manage to step things up higher than that. Reading are currently running at 2.8 points per game, and withstand a little loss of form and still have a higher rate than us. What I am trying to say is, if we hadnt lost really stupid games, we could have a sustainable level of performance between now and the end of the season and go up. Now, I fear we need a superhuman effort on a par with last season, which is a big ask.

This. Also, having witness Celtic fans on an away day beanie in Manchester, I wouldnt even wish that on the w*nkers down the East end of the M27 (well, maybe I would). Celtic fans f**king hate the English, they just want a piece of the TV rights pie. Actually its actually a bit like Pie-Face Salmond not actually wanting Scottish independence, but wants to sh*t stirr enough to get even more subsidy from England. Oh, and for the person who tried to distinguish between Glasgow Celtic FC and the Scottish FA who dont support the Team GB concept for the Olympics, do you REALLY think any self-respecting Celtic fan disagrees with the Scottish FA on this ?? Fook em. Let them go under with the rest of the totally w*nk Scottish footbal set up (actually RFU aint much better is it ? Even Italy beat them regularly now) Fook Scotland, the place is propped up by the English and is due a rude awakening when we cut them adrift. One final point. Well done Kilmarnock for making them look like pr*cks today. They can keep Gary Hooper.

I cannot believe the utter stupidity present on this thread. If we end up in 3rd place, adrift of an auto promotion spot by something like 2 points, I will point out that losing to BC at home as the day we threw away promotion. All this "bound to lose the odd game" is a load of CR*P. They are a team that have occupied one of the bottom spots of the table all season long - they are there for a reason, just as we are (currently) top for a reason. If you cant refer to form as some form of determination as to how a game will finish, and the whole process is as random as some of you mongs want to claim (for the benefit of excusing that result), why do you idiots spend so much time analysing the run in, and why are you confident that we will win promotion ? After all, its all a game a chance, isnt it ? I note the revisionists are already sweeping our dire form in December and January under the carpet.

I am struggling with the concept of this film. Is it a prequel to Alien or not ? The derelict craft containing the eggs, that Tom Skerrit, John Hurt and Sigourney Weaver and co. found in Alien, is in it.

My respects. But dont be hard on yourself, you werent to know. Pity we cannot edit out the quoting. Maybe the mods could simply delete the first couple of pages or so of this thread. Everyone stopped quoting it when the news broke.
