Congratulations!

Brighton away would be good, probably get Birmingham or Leicester at home.

Mark Wright for Fonte- Lovren & Wright - how classy would that be Steve Williams for Wanyama Matt Le Tissier for JRod

Remember the old days when the award was sponsored by Bells and the recipient would be presented with a huge bottle of whiskey.

37 - A bit of a hipster apparently, I'll take that.

Their business in my opinion. Smoking won't effect their performance in their younger years, it will catch up with them later in life though though. Socrates (Brazil) & Cruyff (Holland) two great footballing smokers.

worth taking the time to read that article

I think he could play a "Brett Ormerod" type role when required, but I'll be surprised if he makes more than a handful of appearances from the bench. Good luck to him though.

Equal with Phil Boyer in the value stakes, How fast have those 200 games gone by, Saints Legend.

Great photo lifeintheslowlane, any more?

They would have but a match that was live on sky on a Sunday was never going to sell out. It appears that the person responsible for deciding the amount of away tickets to have doesn't know their business & is therefore over cautious. Liverpool away is always a popular trip. Some communication with supporters would help.

Joiners Arms worth a visit

poor little chrissy hughton...

This.

I predict 11th, but once again the gap between 8th & 15th will be close so wouldn't be too disappointed with 14th. I'm hoping for the type of season West Brom had last year, comfortably in mid table from start to finish.

Great preview thanks.

I thought that. That source has no credibility at all based on those "comments"

Can't see us finishing above Everton. 11th would be my prediction.

I'm still not convinced either way about MP. Lets' see where we are in January. Team spirit does appear to be strong which is good news.

To be fair to the senior players they haven't had a pre-season (unless they have been training with the U18's which I doubt) as the U21's have been in the north east for the last 10 days or so. I'd imagine they will all be going out on loan during the next month or so. I didn't realise that Forte & Martin were still here.

Thanks for this.

wot no club song? Thanks for the preview.

We used to sing about being strawberry growers. Tinned peaches perhaps, more useful in a fight.

Excellent preview. My favourite line from their club song.. "Come on, Llagostera! Always joined by pineapple to fight"
