  1. Norwich might just be our saving grace. They have WBA at home and a trip to City. If WBA can get a draw, that should just about do it. The way we have played today though, we can get a result at Sunderland and at home to Stoke.
  2. St Mary's to the Amex - 65 miles St Mary's to Vicarage Road - 83 miles St Marys to Selhurst Park - 85 miles Actually Brighton aren't really all that local.
  3. Looking good at Staplewood against another U21 side in front of 2 men and a dog is one thing. Chucking them on at WHL when we're 2-0 down would be quite another. Hanging youngsters out to dry when they're not ready yet is the sort of thing 'Arry would have done.
  4. Redknapp doing a very long interview from his car window, caused a triffik jam.
  5. Be careful. The9 will be along in a minute to tell you we have a 2.36% of relegation, which has been changed to 1.85% because of the delayed kick off and increased to 3.41% because De Ridder is on the bench. Going back to my original question, I wouldn't mind Palace coming back up because they got shafted by the Skates in 2005. They like to think they sent us down by not bothering at the Hawthorns but it was Palace who went down because of that result.
  6. Watford/Hull Brighton Palace Leicester I wouldn't mind Brighton just for a bit of (sort of) local derby spice. Other than that I'm not bothered. Poll mods?
  7. Kick off delayed till 1530. FFS Guly!
  8. Don't really see why De Ridder gets so much stick, he really hasn't looked that bad when I've seen him. I've seen much worse performances from the likes of Lallana, Gaston and Puncheon at times this season. Not suggesting he is better than they are but his faults seem to get a disproportionate amount of stick. Christ, anyone would think we had Anthony Pulis on the bench.
  9. I'd love to see Saints come walking out to the Pink Panther theme tune.
  10. I very much doubt they deliberately pulled up that sharply and they weren't trying to bank tightly either. The wing drop would be purely down to the stall. The people in those vehicles are just lucky the right wing stalled first. If it had been the left wing which dropped, the plane could well have come down on top of them. I'd go along with the badly loaded or loose cargo theory for something like this. Stab trim runaway is possible but less likely. RIP
  11. Remember Huddlestone running the midfield for Spuds. Not Bale though, after he scored his goal he was very quiet. Pretty much anonymous in the second half. Lukaku would get my vote though, absolute monster.
  12. Sunderland will be without Sessegnon for the remainder of their games, including our trip up there. Will be a massive loss for them I think.
  13. I do like the new shade of green this year though. Ironically Caterham have gone the opposite direction to QPR and replaced their experienced higher paid drivers (has beens if you ask some) with two 'kids' in Pic and Van der Garde.
  14. He can't, the two need each other to exist. It's a symbiotic relationship. MLG feeds his need of constantly correcting people and proving he is more intelligent, by regularly pointing out how Dalek is wrong. Even though it is blindingly obvious to everyone else who have long since grown bored with Dalek and put him on ignore list. Dalek feeds his need to have completely pointless arguments by pretending to be stupid and deliberately posting things he knows are irritating, incorrect and/or controversial. Without each other, both posters lives would be completely devoid of all meaning. I think Attenborough made a documentary on it a few years ago.
  15. As the season has gone on I've been less and less convinced that Lallana should be in our starting 11. A decent sub to bring on and mix it up a bit, like he did at Reading but there have been a lot of games when he has been a complete passenger. Worryingly it's not just a temporary thing or a recent drop in form, his whole season is peppered with none-performances. Not always bad, far from it, but he will have to deliver on a much more consistent basis to convince me he is a Premier League player.
  16. I'd go with: Boruc Clyne - Fonte - Yoshi - Frazer Cork - Morgan Davis - JRod - Puncheon Lambert I think we will lose.
  17. £12m plus £100k a week for 4.5 years I think the deal was. Nobody is going to buy him on that kind of wedge.
  18. None. There isn't one player from either squad I would want. Remy is the only one who's talent grabs me but after walking out on Newcastle for more money, I think I can see where his priorities lie.
  19. QPR are in a world of trouble. They've laid out £35m on Samba alone and have a squad full of sh*te players on massive contracts who don't want to be there. Even with Fernandes, they won't be able to spend their way out of that division. The only good news for them is that Redknapp will have quit by November.
  20. Why would we agree to a deal like that? You really think Cortese will be bullied by another club into being told he can't play one of his best players for the last half dozen games of the season? Shaw may well be sold in the summer but it has bugger all to do with these recent injuries. If anything I think we've had to rely on him a bit too much and he's picked up a few niggling injuries, same as Burley did with Bale.
  21. Kick off in 15 minutes on SS1. If either team loses they go down. A draw will see them both relegated If Villa win on Monday, both go down regardless of today's game. Come on Nige!
  22. The atmosphere hasn't been getting worse and we are no worse than most other football League grounds in the country. I went to Millwall last season and West Ham this season, neither was anything special. The acoustics in Cardiff's new stadium are pretty good but the fans in there didn't sing all that often. Goodison was like a library this season. The only other ground I've been to this year is Norwich, that was pretty quiet too. Our support isn't an embarrassment, we pretty much fill St Mary's every game. It's up to you whether you want to sing or not, it's not a legal requirement.
  23. I'll second leaf blowers. Every Friday morning at 9am I get woken up by some council Womble with a leaf blower 'clearing' the paths outside my flat. Then 20 minutes later after a light breeze all the crap has blown back on to the paths. Brilliant. My personal nomination would be autotune, which has allowed trash like JLS to enjoy irritatingly long pop careers despite having no discernible talent.
  24. Depending on your religious beliefs, you are none existent for billions of years from the creation of the universe. Then you get to live on this Earth for a few years before dying and remaining as such for the rest of eternity. So why with such an inifitely small period of existence do people choose to waste it arguing with people like Dalek on the Internet? The inventor of the ignore button had a framed portrait of Dalek on the wall of his office as motivation behind the concept. Let us honour his creation in unison.
  25. As Noodles says, define big. Yes they probably have more supporters than us but how does that actually translate on the pitch? Spurs can fit an extra 4,000 fans into their stadium and Eveton an extra 8,000. Even if all those extra seats equate to a die hard ST paying £500 a season, that only makes an extra £2m and £4m income each, per annum. When you take transfer fees, wages, agents fees, signing on fees etc, into account spurs could probably buy an extra Steve De Ridder every season, whilst Everton could buy an extra paulo Gazzaniga. Both teams have more exciting and colourful histories than Saints but no players (despite the cliched interviews they give when they join a club) give a flying f**k about it's history. Nobody signs for Everton because they won the League 30 years ago or they won the FA Cup once in the 90s. They want money and, if possible, Champions League football. Just look at Bale, allegedly saying he's off if Spuds don't qualify. "Big" means f**k all really. If Everton are bigger than we are because they won Division 1 a couple of times in the 80s then so be it, I really don't see why anyone should care.
