Significantly, West Ham have a very good away record. Three wins and two draws (compared to our two wins) emphasise that this is going to be a tight match. Incidentally most of the seven clubs who have a better away record than us have yet to play us at home. Make of that what you will. Without our 100% home record we clearly would not be heading the league. 3-3 draw.

I don't believe him.

Saints 1-0 Alpine

Aston Villa's 30 mile radius covers one of the most densely populated conurbations in the country. Ours is minute in comparison. Good idea, but we would be enormously disadvantaged compared to clubs in London, the midlands and Lancashire.

2 The trouble even at Beat's peak was that even then he was a confidence player and his goals, excellent as they were, came in spurts between weeks of famine. We can't afford to have a player who at this moment in time would need to rebuild his fitness, confidence and form. Bournemouth is a good shout though. HCDAvgoodJFT

Simps - win all October matches. Borough beware!

So we'll walk it then.

When Hammond is at his best, we are at our best. Ok for me too.

And The new Northam is to be renamed Turkish Delight after Saints greatest fan.

Yes. Arse can only dream of either at the moment. Meawhile OMAAT

Have you actually contacted Cortese to ascertain if this is true?

But Skates actually did us a good turn in pegging Blackpool back.

1-1 was my prediction, but also for Middlesbrough to win - so this is a result! All hail to Spiderman! (pity Derby and Hammers won though, still they were both at home.)

The fact is that Cortese has made a rule that everyone must purchase their ticket, whoever they may be, and he sets the example. If this rule is ever relaxed MLT and LM should be the first to get free entry imo. (But remember, too many freebies were one of the reasons SLH/SFC got into financial trouble. All in this together.

Yep. Where's Alpine when he's needed.

It will probably be Burnley cos we always seem to draw the team we have or are just about to play in the league.

I prefer Southampton, but don't mind any of these or even 'Saampton' - so long as its not 'Soton' as the press disdainfully abbreviate us.

I want Arsenal at home, so we can show Oxo who is the better team

So very true. Some of his saves are quite unbelievable, and as good as any saves of our great past keepers. They all happen so quickly. It would be great if the club could publish a dvd of his best saves - with slow motion repeats! Would be class, and sell well, I'm sure.

How to make inexperienced youngsters think they are stellar stars before they are. Just what the game needs, not.

Since everyone performed equally brilliantly, I am going for the guvnor, one year in charge and he has made the team what it is today. Why not include Adkins in the polls in future? Could be interesting.

Well it has worked. He is now an accomplished Premiership striker. And most on here thought he was rubbish.

I think they may have been bought from Grimsby's fans shop. Unfortunately that was the match that Killer was injured and our troubles began. Time for revenge.

I had no difficulty in moving my season ticket to another seat last year. Just phone the ticket office.

Well said!
