MP has been inspired appointment. Keep this up and we'll struggle to keep him.

What is one then? With his stats surely he is a tough tackling midfielder?! Or would you rather a Vinnie Jones type player instead? With Ramirez we all know he is not the finished article yet which has probably been hindered by him adjusting to the PL, as well as his injuries. His performance against Villa at home has been one of the best player performances of the season. Sure we can all agree he his world class potential which we have seen at times. Look at Fellaini, he was a big money signing who was fairly average in his first season, look at him now. An example of how it can take a player time to settle, adjust etc. Provide we are in the PL he will be an important player for us. Can't see Cortese selling his star signing.

Stunning day out. The moment when you knew we were on the up again.

There are optimists and pessimists and then there is you. Is there any remote joy you get from supporting Saints? Anything?!

Nice post. I was thinking if the academy too. The current u18's certainly sound on par with the Walcott Bale generation. Either way whatever our ambition I prefer going about it our way as opposed to QPR. Whatever the argument everyone must agree that it is pretty exciting being a Saints fan at the moment.

Brilliant! Can anyone realistically see them getting more points than us? Forgetting Villa and Wigan of course! I would be bricking it if I was them given their form and run in. They'll go and beat Utd now!

What are you waffling on about?

Tbh we should have beaten Norwich, wasn't that bad. Granted QPR was plain awful.

http://mobile.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/u18s-beat-palace-again-735644.aspx?pd=634999127330000000 Very impressive. 4 goals from Sam Gallagher, anyone know how his development has been going? Top of the elite league with 6 consecutive wins.

Agreed, have a big summer (provided we survive) ahead of us.

Good lord man. I believe we are more likely to challenge for a trophy in the next few years as opposed to meeting the european ambition of the chairman, an ambition of which I do not believe my example of Wigan has, prove me otherwise, it is virtually a precedent that every team in a cup has some form of ambition to win it but not every club has ambitions of getting into Europe. Who cares anyway. Staying up this season is vital. Can't be arsed to argue on this anymore as its boring and pointless. Perhaps you should try contributing to a thread rather than trying to rubbish everyone else.

When did Wigan win the FA cup?

Yes well done I don't believe I disputed that. You can add the 4 pointless posts proving whatever point you had to your 18,000. You'll have more posts that Wigan have in attendance soon. Well done.

I think we have more realistic chance of pushing for a trophy over the next few years rather than Europe. That said its more exciting to be ambitious than to not be (eg. Wigan). Can't fault Cortese in the slightest for achieving his ambitions to date and not via the unsustainable QPR method If you re-read my post you'll see your mistake, I said that realistically we have more chance of winning a trophy BUT it is exciting to have ambitions of pushing Europe etc. Anyway if we win a trophy we would be in Europe anyway so the argument is pointless really.

Well I for one hope that our time in the PL provides more ambition than hoping to survive relegation each year eg. Wigan. Wigan are in a semi final too they haven't won feck all yet and could still get relegated.

I am suggesting that these teams haven't shown more ambition than us recently hence their league status. Jesus, sound like the house of lords debating the wording of a new bill. Back to Saints, I think are ambitions are healthy for the club eg. stadium increase, youth development and pushing for Europe at some stage which teams like Wigan don't seem to have. Not rubbishing their chance of reaching a final.

Good luck to Nigel though. Really could see him getting them promoted next year.

It's gonna be an interesting game. Still fancy a result. Afterall they are 19th for a reason and player for player I don't think a single one of theirs would get in our starting 11.

Clearly they haven't shown more ambition hence Swansea are the only PL team from that group.

Okay so Wigan are massively ambitious then. The DW should be increased to 70,000 to accomodate this level of ambition.

Would be a great signing. Defintely short of a winger and one with pace.

No one more than Pompey. Then maybe QPR, tiny club of deluded fans and doing everything that's wrong in football. ManUre are just repulsive too, full of fans that have never been to OT.

Fabio is not a spec on Luke Shaw. However those dumbs mancs can keep that attitude for all I care. Genuinely don't think we'll sell any player we don't want to this Summer.

Chelsea - the ruiners of English talent. They can feck off. Disgusting club.
