That's me sorted for lunch time now then! :-)

He is a full international player with lots of experience. He has had some great games for us and is a very useful squad player. At the beginning of this season he was excellent when playing. I remember many comments from posters saying he had improved so much since last season. I think we'd be stupid to let him go to be honest.

I work for a big high street chain and have to agree with you. I'm sick of Black Friday and wish it would b*gger off back to the good ole US of A.

Being Saints fans, we never take any game for granted. I still expect us to lose most games, even this season. Just been bred into me over the years. Looking forward to this one, first game of the season for me - £27 for 2 tickets, single cheap train journey to one of our favourite cities. Couldn't really say no! :-)

Whenever I'm at St Marys I find it impossible to sing along with chants due to the prawn sandwich stuck in my gob!

Has Mr Rodriguez said that he want out of Southampton at any point? I don't believe I've heard that quote come from him or his agent at all? I did hear transfer speculation\rumour\paper talk in the summer that Tottenham wanted him, but that was all. I don't think that adds up to him wanting out of little old Southampton though? Unless someone ITK has previously posted something that I missed?

I want one! Would be great in the garage along with the table football, dart board and beer fridge!

Just keep singing his name. He'll be here forever!

Liverpool have just tabled a bid for both Clyne and Forster! ;-)

And yes, I know it is silly, but every year I always feel that this is the season that we are going to win something. That expectation is what drives us as supporters.

I second that statement. Why not hope and believe? That is what football is all about. Would Sutton Utd have beaten Coventry all those years ago without the belief and hope in what they were doing? I for one am just enjoying what is going on with our great team and truly believe that we will finish this season within the top 4. I also believe that we have a chance of winning something this year, including the premier league title. If we didn't have that belief, why bother supporting Saints at all or following football at all?

At the moment, I would highly recommed The Last of Us. It is a truly engaging and accomplished game. Lots of different elements in it and a great story with characters you bond with. I've found the aiming and shooting elements a bit clunky but that is probably more down to my own lack of skills as you will find yourself panicking at many points in the game as you get overwhelmed. I don't normally like stealth games that much and have found myself getting into more gunfights than taking out enemies by stealth, but when you do get it right, it is very rewarding. I've loving it.

I had just finished Mass Effect 2 before moving onto The Last of Us. Thoroughly enjoyed both ME1 and 2 very, very much. The 1st one has more role playing elements in it than the 2nd, which is more of a straight shooter, but both of them are excellent games with a deep and engaging story and lots of threads that inter-weave throughout. Geniune decision making that influences the game make the ME series a real cut above and a true highlight of the PS3 platform. I'm already looking forward to moving onto ME3 when I've finished The Last of Us...or maybe Dead Space 3? Decisions, decisions. :-)

Have had this since Christmas but only started playing it last week. Excellent story which is moved along nicely in-game and with the cut scenes. I can understand why some people have said it is a little repetative, like most games are really, however the link you have with the characters and the emotion in the game really pulls you in. Some of the set-up's are outstanding and I have to agree with the majority of people that this is a milestone on gaming achievement. Not as big as some games, i.e. Skyrym, but the atmosphere, story and emotion set this game apart. Really looking forward to completing it.

Good point out there. Forgot that the first time we went to Barcelona I ended up stopping some thieves stealing a ladies handbag while in a park during the day. Still, had a great time there last year and want to go back again soon.

Easy peasy, Berlin for me without a doubt. German beer, German food (Big Pork Knuckles) and the best night life of any city I've been to (lots of Heavy Metal). A shed load of your typical museums and then smaller museums for more niche tastes, i.e. the Ramones museum. We go at least twice a year for long weekends. Absolutely love the place. Good shouts for Barcelona and Paris as well. If you're ever in Paris, check out Black Dog. It's a Heavy Metal bar with the greatest steak restaurant in the back.

Actually MoPo equalled our best ever finish if standings in the table are the only criteria. WGS also got us to 8th in the table in the 2002/03 season with a final day 0-1 win at Maine Road against Man City. Killer scoring the only goal which lifted us up about 3 places in what was the final competitive game at Maine Road.

Didn't we loan Cork from Chelsea for a while before finally buying him? Would say that that worked out in our favour long term! I'm just pleased that we've got a Premier League player into a gap in the squad. Only need 3 or 4 more and we'll be stronger than ever.

Excellent goal keeper that Dexter Blackstock fella!

Disappointed in this latest twist. The one position where we had a bit of strength in depth and just like that it is gone. £16m is a very, very good price to get but we now need t oget in a stupid amount of replacements just to get us to the position we started with during this transfer window. I am hoping that the players we do eventually sign (I want to see 3-4 players this week) gel quickly and are improvements, but even my normal very positive outlook has been knocked by this latest transfer. The one thing I'm hanging onto is thefact that we still have Morgan. I hope he is the one player who we can hold onto in this window, but he must surely be looking round now wondering where everyone has gone and who all these young strangers are?

Disappointed with the whole saga to be honest. Sad to see Lambert, Shaw and now Adam go, regardless of the circumstances. Trying not to dwell on the past now but look to the future and am hoping we start announcing a pile of decent replacements for our outgoing players. Just hope that Super Ron can persuade Lovren and Schneiderlin to stay with us as I think they will be a bigger loss to the club than any of the players that have already left, except Guly of course!

Personally, I would love to see the Champions League being just that, a league that is played by the champion of each Europena countries top team and not the 1st, 2nd or 3rd placed losers of that league. You could also then have a 2nd competition for the national cup winners to take part in, thus making that competition much more competitive and popular, just like the old days. I would call them the European Champions League and the European Cup Winners Cup. ;-) However, any decisions around football now will always be dictated by money, and that is quite sad really.

Very, very, very happy. What a statement of intent from the club. Roll on the fixture list so we can get planning for our next jaunt down to sunny Southampton.

A strange, saggy, hang-dog face perchance? ;-)

How dare some forum members forget to use an exclamation mark when making a sarcastic comment. It's disgraceful and is surely the fault of the current board at the club. We must make a stand against just this sort of thing or we'll find ourselves back in League 1 before we know what has happened. Oh....'!' ;-)
