I'm dangerously close to expecting a result tomorrow. An unnerving feeling

It's been great journey so far. I can see the 'route to wembley' t-shirts now

That'll do

Stek Cedric-Yoshida-Caulker-Targett Romeu-JWP Juanmi-Tadic-Rodriguez Long

4 home games against Man Utd since our return. 1 point. Genuinely, Utd have been awful in all 4

I'm really worried about this game

Stekelenburg Cedric Fonte VVD Targett Wanyama Romeu Davis Mane Tadic Pelle Swap Bertrand and Clasie into that and we're really motoring Think we'll lose this one 2-1 though

At what stage does transfer media conduct become tapping up/subject to libel law? I'm not saying Saints are innocent of it, but I'm absolutely fed up with clubs making up any old story to unsettle a player. If this happened in many industries, there'd be fines/legal challenges. This is irrespective of whether Wanyama wants to go or not

I see Mark Footitt has rejected a new Derbyshire contract. I'd definitely hope, if we stay up, that the club are looking at offering him one. He's exactly what we need. Whether he would accept, I'm not sure, as inevitably the likes of Surrey and Notts are hawking around

A good draw for us I think. Rather them than Yorkshire, Surrey or Durham. I do wish Vince would bat first when winning the toss. I think we're better at defending a total

Couldn't see a similar thread elsewhere Friday Villa 0 Man Utd 1 Saturday Saints v Everton Sunderland v Norwich Swansea V Newcastle Tottenham v Stoke Watford v West Brom West Ham v Leicester Sunday Crystal Palace v Arsenal Man City v Chelsea Monday Liverpool v Bournemouth What do we think then? Fancy Bournemouth to get something at Anfield, and I think Chelsea might turn City over. It's also no co-incidence that Man Utd's defence has improved since Morgan went there. I wonder how long it'll take the Utd fans to realise

Jesus, the people they picked out in the crowd there!

Our first away point since 15th March. Good result all things considered

Blimey that's an attacking line up. Huge day for Victor

The most amazing stat of my lifetime is that Dave Jones is the longest serving manager (2 years)

Agree. So frustrating that they have been awarded two Ashes test matches whilst Hampshire have had none.

Complete speculation on my part, but I saw earlier that Everton aren't interested in Jonny Evans. If available at 7 million, I'd have him here

I'm penciling in Leicester for relegation now. My guess is sacked on 18th January, followed by a panic appointment of Steve Bruce on February 8th

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't Oxlade Chamberlain, Sterling, Shaw, Chambers etc. all eligible but didn't play for whatever reason? We simply didn't have the best team out there

The Guardian article running this story insists we're still after Carl Jenkinson as well

Previous link didn't work, but Tony Barrett of the Times says new offer of 10.5 million rising to 12.5 million has been submitted by liverpool

I think he'd be a great signing but bookies odds mean very little other than to reflect money staked on an event. Insider betting patterns on transfers are snuffed out pretty quickly

Feels like Newcastle, Sunderland and Stoke are being ambitious in their targets, but to little avail thus far. No doubt it will all end in a desperate attempt to sign George Boyd on deadline day

Friend of mine had this injury a couple of years back, and it took him 9 months to get playing again. True, he wasn't dealing with the rigours of the Premier League, but he didn't have access to the same medical expertise either

Let's not beat around the bush. It would be an awful result if we can't win against the unseeded 3RQ teams over two legs. The play off will be much tougher, especially if we're not seeded
