Its only a matter of time until some names of possible abusers begin to leak out, especially with the reports the phone line setup by the NSPCC has had an unprecedented amount of calls to report stuff in its first day. I'm wondering who will be the first household name to come forward as a possible victim, and in turn whether any household name will be linked as one of the abusers. A lot of the focus in the Nationals today is that Chelsea may have paid off a victim to stop them going public about abuse by a former employee in the 70's, and I dare say they might not be the only ones to do so.

Interviewed two players who waived the right to anonymity and described what eventually lead to a sexual assault. One of the players interviewed suggested the club must have known what was going on, and there was an interview with Dave Merrington who said he reported the rumours he'd heard to the club. The reporter said she'd spoken to other ex players who were abused but they wished to remain anonymous. Images and videos of the Dell and our club badge etc.

Pretty damning stuff on South Today right now, our name is well and truly being dragged though the mud.

Great performance tonight, two very well taken goals and another clean sheet is good to see. Gutted to have gotten Liverpool in the Semis though, would fancy our chances in a one off final where anything could happen, can't see us getting much from a two legged affair, especially having to go to Anfield second.

Not in the U.K. But is being shown abroad so should be some decent streams. I see Kevin no Friend of Saints is ref tomorrow, bodes well......

This photo, alongside the one Noah took in Shanghai, encourages me that the Lander group will be working alongside the Liebherr's rather than taking over from them.

The funniest thing about this is that their fans take pride in saying we haven't beaten them for 14 years. They can't see the stupidity of that boast.

And Madrid

Absolute embarrassment. Not getting a decent striker in to replace Pelle and Mane and gambling on doing things on the cheap has cost us once again.

**** poor defending. How are this pile of **** back in the game, they're atrocious. 2-1 now, **** off

Don't know what that will achieve, UA is an American company and you know how much those stupid yanks like to shoot stuff. I'm sure UA isn't the only major brand that advocate hunting.

Thousands of ****ed up Sweaties on the **** in our city all day peddling their Republican bull****? No thanks.

Very much this. Its one thing having a lot of money to buy a football club, but its another thing knowing how to use that money properly. When you look at what the Liebherr Dynasty has achieved at Saints, in terms of spending but doing so wisely, to get us where we our now is an incredible example of how to run a football club.

So do we want win the group and end up playing a minnow from the arse end of Europe, or do we want to finish second and potentially end up playing the likes of Ajax, Sporting Lisbon, Lyon or Schalke?

Whilst I won't slag the bloke off as i'm happy to have an England international between the sticks again, he is making decisions that are starting to cause caution. Twice against Chelsea he made two routine saves but whilst a good keeper will palm the ball away from danger he pushed it straight back into the box, and luckily we were on hand to clear. He did the same again last night in the second half when he made a good save down to his right but sent the ball spinning back across the face of goal which again came to nothing luckily. He has to take a share of responsibility for their goal too i'm afraid, should never have been beaten at the near post like that, its the kind of error we saw all too often with Kelvin.

A very good performance indeed, but he needs to play at that level consistently before I'll change my opinion of him.

At home to Cardiff, absolutely smashed a free kick from at least 30-35 yards. Bridgey's first goal was a pretty decent strike 1:20 onwards

My memory of that United game was that I was sat in the garden at my parents in Bitterne Park and heard a huge cheer in the wind, assumed we had just gone 1-0 up given how loud and how far it travelled from The Dell only to put teletext on and see that it was United who had just gone 1-0 up. At the same match the following season which we lost 3-1, Pahars scored one of the finest goals I saw from him, running from just inside our half, skinning a couple of defenders and shooting across Van Der Gouw's goal to score. It never seems to show up in any highlight reels though, or the full version at least.

Sportsmania have this listed in their streams schedule tomorrow evening so any non members should be able to find a stream online somewhere.

Steve, any chance you fancy organising one of these again for the end of the season?

We had The Saints Forum between Saintsforever and Saintsweb. I'm still pretty sure after it became Saintsweb the database went bang. Would need Stevie G or Baj to confirm though. Edit: It appears Steve has answered the question above already.

Whilst I have no sympathy for Morgan himself given his hissy fit 12 months before he left and the fact that he is a multi millionaire, what an absolute shame it is that a player so clearly talented and great for us has become a benchwarming squad player, destined to float from club to club without really fulfilling their true potential and leaving fans with the opinion that you're ****. Even worse when you consider Fellaini can get in the team ahead of him. If the guy had any class he'd request a move somewhere he can actually get first team football.

Beatts didn't leave and come back? Does Jack Cork count given as he was on loan the first time?

Lot of people with short term memories on here, Morgan would get into our team any day of the week. Turned out to be one of the best holding midfielders this club has had for years, but it seems when players leave us they suddenly become **** in the eyes of some fans. We were all gutted when he left, yet knew it was coming. For anyone to suggest Clasie is a better player is frankly ludicrous.

Give us £8 mill and Defoe and they can have him.
