Can we make this sticky please mods? I'll get the ball rolling with: James Beattie - Gets a mention EVERY window since he left. Give him a year on sensible wages. Maybe he will flop, but so might anyone. David Nugent - On a free from Pompey. Offer him a sensible CCC wage (10kpw tops). Doubt many clubs would better that and he wouldn't have to move house. Taijo Teniste - Plays for Levadia Tallinn. Doubt any of you have heard of him, but I saw him play in March and he looked useful. 23 left winger, Holmes replacement.

Appalling excuse for a human being. Just a shame it was so quick and painless.

Haven't got a ticket and I'm gutted. The only game I've been to since the Dons comeback was that trip to Rochdale and I'd hate for that to be the last game I get to this season. Mind you, there's always 2 playoffs games. Not the final though, Bompey will hammer us in the semis Would appreciate 2 tickets if anyone does have any spare. Face value only, I'm not getting ripped off. Please don't give me that 'you should have booked sooner, had your chance' bullplop. Some of us have work issues and friends to plan around so we don't always have the luxury of booking a month in advance.

Bored on a Sunday Afternoon Stat Attack If we beat Plymouth and Walsall, then Rochdale will be the only team we didn't beat this season. We've improved against 11 teams in the 'second leg' this season: Lost then won: Dons, Swindon, Udders, Carlisle, Brentford Drew then won Brighton, Yeovil, Orient, Hartlepool, Colchester, Charlton Lost then drew - We've been worse in the 'second leg' against just 3 teams: Won then lost Tranny Won then drew Notts Co, Posh Drew then lost - Same result against 7 teams: Two wins Bompey, Brizzle, Daggers, Exeter, Wednesday, Oldham Two Draws - Two Defeats Rochdale

Mills looked very able in all the games I saw him play at LB last season, including the JPT final. He's now had a year of first team football under his belt and at a higher level than Harding. I'm not saying he's better, but I wouldn't write him off. Assuming we were to release Holmes, I think there could be room for him, DH and RD.

They drew against Swindon fighting for their lives, our draw against Notts Co was back in January when every team still had everything to play for. The bees have injuries and nothing to play for. There wont be an easier gig in the football league than Brentford at home on Saturday.

I think you can take it as an absolute nailed on certainty that Udders will beat Brentford. It's about as safe a bet as you will ever see. Ergo, a draw for Saints is no use. Just watching FLS. Blades, Scunny and PNE... now there's 3 away days I REALLY don't want next season.

Fan tries to remove Wisdom teeth by tying them to Rickie Lambert.

Around the time Beattie left, a certain Mr Rudolf Skacel (only a year younger than Beatts) was banging them in for hearts. 6 years later he's once again banging them in for Hearts (having vanished into obscurity somewhere in the Greek League with Saints fans saying he was finished). I think some players returning to a club where they were once popular could be more comfortable, motivated and up their game.

Well if Brighton were battering them the result should have been even more obvious.

Really? I mean, deep down, really? It's like being annoyed that a bear made a big smelly mess in a wood. Well hopefully the Brighton fans will read your post and sleep content in the knowledge that they've annoyed at least one Saints fan. I think the rest of us saw that coming a mile off. I actually laughed when I saw the timing of the goals. Being a Saints fans thickens one's skin somewhat.

Great result. Don't give a sh*t about Brighton and Udders. I could have told you on Tuesday how that game would end (even what time the goal is scored). If you think it's nauseating for us, think how the Udders fans must feel. Unbeaten this year, they just won away at places like Franchise and Brighton and they still look likely to miss out on the autos. Has any team ever got 89 points in any league and not even made the top 2 before? Just goes to show how crap this League is. A draw useless for both teams on Monday. Expect all out attack. Walsall on the other hand will probably park the bus in front of the goal next weekend. May prove more of an issue, in which case we need Daggenham to win at Posh. Squeaky bum time now, but overall a good day. My aim for today was to match Brighton's result, we did it.

The difference being Beattie hasn't been injured for most of the last 4 years. I'd have him back in a heartbeat if we could arrange a sensible contract and he genuinely wanted to be here.

I think that place is dangerous enough already, without people going off line, onto the dust with no rear end grip. We've even had accidents behind the safety car going though there. (Montoya and Schumi in '04) Cheered my arse off.

So you're outraged that I've pointed out the ironies of an RAF fly-by?

Which is exactly what I'd expect an ageing player, who's out of contract, to say.

So, that was the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight being followed down the Mall by 4 aircraft built in Germany.

08/09 was Kelvin I thought, by a country mile too. 05/06 was Claus

Being heir to the throne is the only heir that matters. Anyway, out of the two princes, I think she got the better deal in the barnet dept.

Well, this is it. It's the big day tomorrow. The crowds will be gathered in London. All the excitement, people waiting in anticipation.This is possibly the biggest event in my generation. The tension has been building all week, but in reality people have been looking forward to this for months, but now it's finally here. Yes, Saints could get promoted if they win at Brentford tomorrow.

For me it was Forte's second against the Dons. By the time Barnard scored I believed we could win the game, but those two goals from Forte really came out the blue. To go from hopeless to believing we'd go up, in about 2 minutes, was just magic.

Not something you'd ever dream of doing with Jaidi.

Good point. I thought his contract was up this summer actually. Can anyone confirm that? Since when have we brought on a centre half at the end of the game? I can see what you're getting at, it's good having another (massive) body in the box when defending, but it is a very desperate tactic. I'd much rather bring on a Wotton type of player to chase opponents around the midfield and stop them playing. Or even an Antonio type player to run at them a bit and make them scared to commit players forward. Sticking players in the box just to head it away for the last 15 minutes isn't the attitude that will get us promoted. That's what Wigan would do at Old Trafford.

If they're 3 points off safety with a game in hand they will have real belief. If they're 6 off, with a very tiny chance of success, they will be desperate. I'd rather face the latter.

All based losely on the hope that we go up. Jaidi - No. Been excellent this season, but next year he will be a year older/slower. We need to be building a team for NPC promotion in the next year or 3. He wont be part of that IMO. Coaching maybe? Harding - Yes. Sorry ball boys, but we must keep him. Butters - Yes. Bags of NPC experience, but Richardson would be my first choice RB next season. Give FR a decent run, he will be excellent. Gobern - No. NPC promotion material? Can't see it Connolly - No. People keep saying, "If he's fit... etc". He's NOT fit. He hasn't been fit for 4 year and will be 34. Martin - Yes Not sure how Seaborne gets in ahead of him. Haven't really seen a poor game from him yet. Pulis - Yes As in "Yes, I would drive him to Split myself if Hajduk offered him a contract." N'Guessan - No Can run the length of the pitch tackling himself, then falls over. Stephens - No Has looked very average from what I've seen. Behind Dean, Morgan and Chaplow and we need improvements.
