Yeah, Billy looks better and better with each game. Such a shame Tadanari Lee got injured IMO. He was a lot better than Sharp when the two of them joined, if we'd got him 'Saints fit' and on the same wavelength as the rest of the team he'd have ripped this league appart.

Boro aren't a top 10 side based on recent form though. There last 10 games are W1, D5, L4 Their last 10 home games are no better. W2, D4, L4 Their record against the top 6 so far: W2 D3 L6 They haven't beaten anyone even close to a decent team in 2012. They've beat Derby, Skates, Millwall, Forest, Barnsley and Shrewsbury.

That was Lallana.

I don't dare to believe it yet. I wont sleep properly until I see that table with a "P" next to Saints, or preferably a "C". Come on Saints! Let's hope Cardiff, Blackpool and Brum make it a bit easier with the early kick offs.

Against a decent team that shouldn't be an issue. In the Burley days we were getting caugh with our pants down left right and centre, but this team is made from sterner stuff. The Palace and Posh games this season would indicate we can get the job done against teams with bugger all to play for. Whatever happens, Boro will need to go all out for the win. A draw would be no use to them at all, so hopefully it wont be one of those 'pack the midfield sit back and hope for a point' sort of games from them. We also need Brum to win at Brighton as they're only 5 points ahead.

I'm not sure I'd call Bradford 'dull' as such with 2 administrations and 3 relegations since they were in the Premier League. However it must be so depressing for their fans, watching them wallow in League 2 obscurity a decade after being in the Prem.

Got to be Coventry for me. Up until this season they have been dull, lower midtable nothingness. I seem to remember them flirting briefly with relegation towards the end of the season Pearson was here and nearly went down on the last day, but other than that they have to be the dullest club in Britain. Got to feel sorry for their fans really, they've had bugger all to sing about for ages.

For the first goal, any one out of Fonte, Fox or Davis should have prevented it. All 3 goals were a combination of careless individual errors, not picking up a man and failing to make a fairly routine clearance. Adkins is no mug, he will have watched the videos in much more detail than we have and should have them firing on all cylinders again come Tuesday.

Gordon Bennett, how did we lose that one. Play like that and we wont have any problems. Fair to say Fonte had a bit of a mare though. Brushed aside for the 1st and 3rd. Deano or Cork really should have picked up Le Fondre for their second.

Without racing, these horses just plain wouldn't exist. Personally I'd rather be shot than never have been born. Still sad though.

Please stop responding to alpine, he's an idiot who serves no purpose other that to drone on with the same pointless arguments ignoring all fact and reason. Put him on your ignore list and save the rest of us the tedium of his ridiculous 'opinions'. The last time Saints won 6-0, we had a 0-0 bore draw at home to Notts County the next game. Form is fickle.

We need to equal Whams next to results and we can go into the last day needing a draw. All 4 games are away, which would you rather have; Bristol and Leicester or Posh and Boro? I'd take the latter any day of the week.

if there's one thing I know for certain about football it's that half time scores NEVER change in the second half. Never.

Pompey winner

Boro winning, bugger.

Winners for Derby and Cardiff would be nice.

Well, I expected Brighton to put up more of a fight than that. Gordon Bennett.

7 better at the moment I think.

Ah well, best to get the disappointment out of the way sooner rather than later. At least this way we don't spend 2 hours clinging to desperate hope. Hahahhahahahahaha 2-0 Donny

First goal of the day goes.... against Pompey!

One of my favourite memories of playing in League 1 was the last 20 seconds of it. I was sat near the front of the Kingsland, just right of centre. Deep into injury time, I could see masses of fans gathered at the 4 corners of the pitch and Walsall had a goal kick. As the goalie is possitioning the ball the lino right in front of me starts sprinting accross to the pitch towards the tunnel. 3 seconds later the goalie takes the kick, the ref blows up and the entire Walsall bench and their coachs charge onto the pitch, only to be swamped by a tidal wave of Saints fans. I ended up on the pitch eventually too, it was a fantastic day to be a Saints fan.

I get the impression that Norwich and Swansea have been found out somewhat. I think they could both be battling the drop next season

Lots of ifs and buts this afternoon. Obviously the big one is going on at Upton Park, let's hope the Hammers form continues for a couple more games. Here are the fixtures and who I think we want to win each one (in bold). Barnsley vs Cardiff - To try and cut Boro adrift of 6th place by the time we go there, so they have nothing to play for. Brum vs Bristol City - Want Brum's playoff spot not being secure when Reading come to town on the last day (unlikely I know). Would all but send Pompey down. Burnley vs Coventry - Want Coventry down by the last day. Derby vs Boro - Same reason as Cardiff game. Donny vs Pompey - Well obviously Leeds vs Posh - Would help if Posh were mathematically safe on Tuesday. They're all but there, 9 point clear of drop zone. Millwall vs Leicester - Need Leicester in the playoff hunt when Wham go to the Walkers. Forest vs Blackpool - Again, same as Cardiff game. Also Forest not safe yet, want to keep it that way until they've played Reading. Watford vs Hull - Hull go to Wham on the last day. If they were still in the playoff hunt, that would be good. Would also push them above Boro West Ham vs Brighton - Obviously. Then there's Ipswich away to Palace, which we just plain don't give a sh*t about. Come on you Seaguls!!!

Isn't the entire wedding ceremony just riddled with unnescessary tradition, pomp and hypocrisy anyway? A great big church service - For people who most likely don't believe in God or religion anyway. A big white dress - For a woman who is almost certainly not a virgin. If it was just about being married, the two of you would just turn up and a registry office and sign a couple of forms.
