He always does when we're cruising in 2nd gear against awful teams.

Off all the strikers we've got why Connolly...

Get in Jos!!!! YES!!!!!!!!

Lee. Connolly wont chance this. No penalty, quelle surprise.

As much as I love THEVMAN's inside gossip, I'm glad he's keeping schtum today. Can do without Wham knowing our team several hours in advance.

No, they can keep that.

We should give up the Falklands immediately. Penn is right, this kind of colonial nonesense is out dated and immoral. I trust the Argies will do likewise and f**k off back to Spain?

Good luck to him. Sadly there are just too many people called Lee at the club these days.

Did Leeds away 2 years ago. Absolutely froze my tits off. Leeds were sh*te, Saints were sh*te and only one moment of brilliance from Snograss stopped it being a 0-0 bore draw. It's hardly a happy hunting ground for us either, we beat them 3-0 under Burley but that's about it really. Went to the last one on the bingo bus, which was alright because I was with a mate, had an empty seat next to me and no p*ssed up kn*bbers singing out of tune all day. I think the highlight of the day was on the bus on the way out seeing some lardy Leeds fan fall fat on his backside on the ice, only to look up and see 3 coaches of Saints fans giving him the sign language. Says it all really, they can shove their £36 tickets (£39 with our T/O I suppose) where the sun doesn't shine, although that could be anywhere in Yorkshire.

Rangers going into Admin, just on SSN.

Okay, bit of a weird analogy I'll give you that. My point was if you had been wronged by another Saints fan, would you let them off, just because they were a Saints fan? Why can't you respond to the issue at hand instead of silly remarks about my manhood. You say you will never grass on someone from your city. Well, I have to applaud your tribalism in this regard. There are hundreds of sh*tbags out there who would quite happily break into your house or car, mug your elderly relatives at knifepoint etc. etc. so they could pay for some cheap booze and a packet of fags. I find it astonishing that you would be willing to forgive and forget just because they live in an SO postcode. Anyway, a thread in which Charlie Wayman is the voice of reason is a bit too weird for me, and for that reason; I'm out.

Shhhh!! Don't mention that in front of Turkish. If you're not 18 stone, well 'ard and deal with your problems by 'ironing out' the other guy you're quite clearly a sad little virgin.

Indeed. Seing a Burnley player getting treated by a physio always gets me into an enraged fury, I can barely contain myself. So playground rules is it? How far are you willing to go with that? If you walk in on me sh*gging your missus is it alright if I'm wearing a Saints shirt at the time? Or does "no grassing" only apply if it's someone else who has been wronged and not you?

It's the same for Fernando Torres. Last time he scored, Princess Diana died the next day.

Or keep scoring until all of JLS are dead.

The difference being Pompey fans are sub human animals. I've got one I keep in the garden because it's just impossible to litter train.

There is a difference between some of the Japanese stereotypes being aimed at Tadanari Lee and implying a black person is a monkey. Jokes about killing whales, eating dogs and saying "oh reary!" are at worst silly and a bit tired. It's not actually abusing him, it's just upholding some long standing stereotypes about Japanese culture. You could say the same about the Americans being fat, French being stubborn, Scots being alcoholics, Welsh being sheep sh*ggers... basically every nationality or culture has stereotypes which are un-PC but on the whole completely harmless. Calling a black person a monkey is different. It's derogatory and implies they are sub human or animals, simply because of their appearance. There is also a long history of suffering, particularly amongst the African-American slave trade and the hundreds of years battling for equality which followed. I can't believe anyone can either support or justify this alleged incident. It's the kind of mindless neanderthal behaviour which died out in the '80s amongst anyone with half a brain cell and I'm embarassed it took that long.

What would you like people to say to him? How exactly do you see that conversation going? "Excuse me sir, but I couldn't help but notice you made a racial slur against one of Burnley's players. I disagree with you views on a moral level and believe you should rethink your views on racial equality" "Good heavens, I do believe you're right. I shall leave immediate, go home and rethink my life" At best you will probably get told to f**k off, at worst a good hard slap. The best bet is to report it to the club, who will deal with it as nescessary.

That's like saying my friend was killed in a car crash, so there really is no point in seat belts or air bags. FWIW the last time we used a sub 'keeper was Poke replacing Davis in a game at Wolves under Pearson. Would have been 2008 I guess. Vignal was sent off for nothing what so ever and we equalised with a corner with the last kick of the game.

Stuff that, he was looking at Rickie Lambert to take to Ukraine.

True, they have had a decent start to 2012 and will be no pushovers, but they haven't really had any tough fixture in that list. The only teams they've played in the top half were Saints (all over them until Lambert was s/o), Leeds (sh*te recently) and Leicester (the definition of inconsistency)

Saints, Wham, Cardiff, Brum, Reading, Blackpool, Hull and Leicester are all much better than Brighton. I can't see them being in the mix.

Amazing how Boro have dropped like a stone in recent weeks. I never thought they were that good anyway, but it shows how much can change in so little time. I think Reading and Wham will be our closest challengers. I'm not writing off Cardiff or Brum, but I don't see them being as strong. Not sure what it is about a great cup result which seems to derail some teams. 2 years ago Leeds were top, then knocked Man Utd out the Cup at OT and couldn't buy a win for weeks afterwards. Last year Brum were a mid table Prem team, won the League Cup and got relegated. Now Cardiff are in the final they have 1 point from 3 league games since. I'm not saying that form will extrapolate accross the rest of the season, but they've certainly had a bit of a hangover from the semi against Palace.

http://www.bigbustycoons.com Wow, those guys run some seriously good bus companies.

How often have we had to replace goal keepers during a match? Jones for Niemi in the cup final is the stand out one. There was Bart in that cup game at Newcastle and I think Poke replaced Davis in a game at Wolves a few years ago. They're the only 3 I can think of in 10 years of supporting Saints. Worth the risk? Depends how much faith you have in an outfield player to DAJFU. This 5 subs rule is sh*te. It completely f**ks everyone's youth team up the a*se and means you have to sacrifice someone like De Ridder or Chaplow just to keep a sub 'keeper on the bench. All done to satisfy clubs like Portsmouth who don't bother with a decent youth set up or can't scrape together 18 players on a match day. Why can't we just let them play with an empty bench.
