Always play as Saints, and have done through the years on most generations of computers and consoles. Currently only have FIFA 12 (which I dusted off yesterday and lost 2 games online playing as Saints) on PS3. Getting a bit sick of having to play with our under strength Championship side though. Might have to upgrade with FIFA 14. We shall see.

Wow! I don't think there has ever been a game that ambitious. If it works, this could well be the best game ever made. I've not even played GTA IV yet either.

Oh, and our camera of course. If we did another trip, we would also take a tablet of some sort (for blogging offline and posting when connected plus reading online books) and a dedicated Kindle. We found that books took up the most space in our back-packs so would invest in some technology next time.

Apologies for the late delay in coming back to you on this. Forgot about the thread. We had one just for our valuables. It was just lucky that it fitted in my travel bag perfectly. We used it for the MP3 player, speaker, passports, money and credit cards. Anything else could be easily replaced while on the trip. Our trip took in SE Asia, Aus, NZ, Fiji, Central America and finally a few of the Southern States of America.

Went to the cinema last night to see Man of Steel - Orange Wednesday offer - £9 for 2 adult tickets for over 2hrs entertainment. To see Saints play - over £30 each for 2 hrs worth of entertainment.....if you are lucky. I would love to travel down to Southampton to see Saints play a lot more but put against other forms of entertainment the value just does not stack up. Am hoping to get down for the Swansea game and possibly to a couple of Midlands away games (hoping for Notts County and Forest in the cups) but that is it. Anyone else think that football is moving towards a breaking point on ticket prices where more people are going to stay away than go?

When we went travelling for a year we ended up buying quite an expensive MP3 (music was very important to us qwhile away) and just made sure it was protected by always having it, when not in use, in a Pacsafe. Would absolutely recommend the Cowon range of MP3 players; we ended up buying an iAudio 7 16GB which is running perfectly to this day. The only thing we didn't do was upload music as we went along as we filled it with pretty much our entire CD collection before setting off. The i7 is no longer available but as a range, I would recommend Cowon. The i9 is on Clearance at Advanced MP3: http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shop/MP3_Players.1/Cowon_iAudio.15/IAUDIOI9-16GB/Cowon_i9_16GB_MP3_Player.13311.html#pClearance3567. Would also recommend the Altec Lansing range of single speakers. Small, light and portable, ideal for travelling as they take up very little space. For travelling in general, I would also recommend a Pacsafe. It allows you to store valuable\important items in any hostel\hotel room safely. It is a slash proof bag with a padlockable metal chain sealing the top. I had my bag slashed in Guatemala but they got nothing as I had the Pacsafe inside so could not get anything out of my travel bag. I hope you have a great time away! It was the best thing we ever did!

Not played any of the Far Cry series yet but they are on my list of games for the PS3 to try. Played the Blood Dragon demo yesterday and have t osay it took some getting used to, but once I got used to the controls, found it found it very good indeed. Will be adding that to my list of games to buy in the future.

Notts County, Derby County or Nottigham Forest would be ideal for me!

Oh yes, just checked my facts and you are quite correct. Apologies, I got mixed up with all this promotion and relegation shenanigans over the last few years. Hard to keep up with who joined when and in which league.

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are 2 of my favorite games ever! Spent 90+ hours on each one. Great fun!

When he first came to Saints (in the Prem) on loan from WBA he was a premier league player and one of our star performers that season, so all this talk that he is not premier league is a bit premature. Personally, I think he could do a pretty decent job in some of our rivals midfields, however for us with JWP, Morgan and Cork all before him, he is unlikely to get a game now. As people have said, he's been brilliant for us over the years as we rose through the league structure, socring some good goals and putting in the type of no nonsense performances we needed at that time. A player that I've been pleased to see play for our club and if he does go, will be remembered fondly.

Loved all of the old LucasArts old adventure games on the Amiga. Indiana Jones, Zak McKrakken, Monkey Island etc. Class games and many an evening (and early hours of the morning) was spent completing those games. The last Monkey Island I played on the PS3 was pretty poor though. Shame, but I have fond memories of LucasArts and the games they produced.

Both for me. The original Cylons are still the best Sci-Fi baddies ever. The original ships (Vipers and Raiders) are immense however the new Galactica is so much better story wise and really dragged you in. I would not like to choose so will have to say both.

I only know as I watched the incident again last week. Must make sure that only true information gets put onto this forum! ;-)

Ostlund is one of my favourite players in all my times supporting Saints (Since 1983\84). Swedish international for many years. 100% committed to the club and gave everything when he played. Remember him dribbling the ball out of defense and went on a run right through the Wolves midfield when we beat them 0-6. Was outstanding in that match. A real character you could get behind (the chants from opposition fans were just hilarious at times - Derby away - "Gypo, Gypo") and much more skillful than he got credit for. Not the best player we've ever had but I appreciated what he did bring to the team. The Hartson incident is on YouTube, Hartson did get a Yellow for the challenge, but was excellent to see a player just get up and carry on with the job at hand.

What CB Fry said. When we look back on this decision, regardless of how the new guy does (even if we win every single trophy out there) it is the way in which we have treated Adkins. He didn't deserve this. He had turned our fortunes round and was building a nice run and getting us up the table. What more could he have done? It feels like the club have stabbed him in the back and that is just not acceptable!

I fuly understand the feelings on the board. I myself am shocked and angry about it. All directed at our chairman and not the new guy. Currently, I cannot see what MP has over our Nigel. All the stuff being said in Spain over MP can also be directed at our Nige as well. This decision is just completely out of the blue and so badly timed. It is only going to hurt us. I hope everyone who goes on Monday shows the chairman just how displeased as a fanbase we are, but still support our team!

Just like the bad old days with our previous managerial merry-go-round. We've all been here before and it will only lead to disaster. Absolute shocking decision by everyone involved at the club. We were moving in the right direction and getting better in every department. Extremely disappointed. I truly believed that Nigel Adkins was the right man for the job at Saints and would be here for many, many successful years to come!

Years and years ago, we got burgled New Years Eve while the whole family were out. They mainly stole jewellery and money as our house was the 2nd that night. The neighbours were first and there house was turned upside down and had loads of stuff nicked, including the grand kids Christmas presents. I have to admit to feeling a bit nervous being in the house, but not that bad really. Maybe as they had only pinched about £60 from my room and nothing else. Since then, the furst thing I've done when moving into any house is fit a burglar alarm if one is not there. The area I now live in, the neighbours all check up on each other so if an alarm goes off, you know someone will pop round and check that all is well. More annoying and upsetting is that one of my old Saints shirts (from 2005 ish) was stolen from my work changing room. It was worth nothing so I couldn't believe that someone would take it. It had sentimental value for me so was quite upsetting. I put up posters around the changing room asking for it back, stating that it was a Southampton shirt and is going to be worth nothing except to me. Never got it back! My girlfriend managed to replace it with a later one for £1 from Ebay. Luckily a seller in the Nottingham area wanted to sell but not pat delivery. Just shows how much it was worth if it could be replaced for £1.

What is Niemi doing these days? Surely he's got another season left in him. He must only be around 55 now, bring him back in, I'm sure HCDAJFU! I would go for Gazza. No real reason, just think he has far more to offer us than the other 2. At least with Kelvin, you know he will do everything in his power to get the win for the club he loves.

That is exactly what he is saying. We have the personnel, we just need to protect our full backs more from midfield. Lallana is not a winger and is not tracking back. Clyne is an exceptional player, however when he has no protection, there is nothing that can be done. We need proper, old school wingers with the stamina to track back, help the full-back out and then get back up the field to attack. Our new Japanese defender, so far, has looked the part. Just a few tweaks to our shape and a bit more thought in our defensive play should sort out our problems.

Doh! £4 more expensive! It's too early for me!

Just to put the cost into perspective: Cheapest League cost (Adult): £30 (Wings\Goal area) Day out at Alton Towers (Adult): £34 So, for 90 minutes of entertainment you have to pay at least £30, whereas a day out at Alton Towers is only £4 cheaper. For me, that is the whole crux of the problem. I rarely make a home game nowadays due to my location and the cost of going to a game. I was looking at going to a game in March\April time however after totalling it all up, it came out at over £300. Much preferred going to see Saints at Barnsley and paying £10 on the gate. That is more like it!

Have to agree. After the awful Back to Earth, hopes were quite low for this however thought it was much better than expected. Some good moments, some childish stuff as well which cheapened it slightly, but overall, worth giving the 2nd episode a go. Good site for Red Dwraf related news and items here: http://www.ganymede.tv/
