That's the problem, nobody wants puncheon. He believes that he's a premier league standard winger, so doesn't want to play at a lower level. Thing is, £1m or less for a premier league standard winger is an absolute bargain, but the only interest has been a mere sniff from the least ambitious team in the prem. Says to me that nobody else thinks puncheon is good enough for that league. Let him rot if QPR don't want him

Ipswich may be good on paper, but they've just lost 2 on the trot at home, one against lower league opposition, and their only win was against the league's whipping boys. I think we've got a decent chance of picking up a win

On SSN now. Ings going to Burnley tomorrow to discuss terms. Could he be their replacement for Rodriguez?

Was out with a mate last night who is an Ipswich fan, goes to Portman road regularly, and he's nervous about tuesday. He was saying that Chopra is looking sharp, so we'll have to defend well, but they didn't look great against Hull. I'm quietly confident. They'll go all out to try and beat us, that usually works in our favour.

Buildup fred?

I'll re-raise - jermaine wright at LB. Unless I'm going mad, that happened a few times

No. HTH

My bad then, just saw something on FB from someone who works in a bank up that way. That wa about 20 mins ago

Going off around Bedford place already, apparently. ****s

Think it's quite normal at SMS for our lot in the Northam to not hear the away fans and vice versa. People sat in the chapel and adjacent stands would be able to gauge the noise coming from each set of fans a lot better

Some moron on there saying their support was noisy as hell and we couldn't be heard till we were 3-0 up. I thought if anything the atmosphere went a bit flat in the 2nd half, as the game was already won. Not a bad write up, and we did play well but we'll face much tougher teams this season.

I want to see Holloway crying/kicking stuff/making a **** out of himself in his interview (again)

They're actually doing some fairly good deals for their fans. A good mate of mine was a ST holder there but hasn't renewed this year due to work commitments. But he's bought their 'super 6' deal. £145 for 6 home games of choice before Xmas, which includes the game against us. That's quite a big selling point for them as it guarantees them a ticket for the derby game well in advance.

My main ones are listed above, but one moment I really loved was up at Sheffield Wednesday away, back when they were still expected to live up to being 2nd favourite for the title. 2000+ saints fans in great voice, barney scoring a quality goal with 15(?) mins to go, then kelvin turning a cracking strike just round the post (Morrison?) with the last kick of the game to save the 3 points. The whole stand celebrated that save as much as barney's goal. Then again at the final whistle. Good night out after that in Sheffield too.

Won't be a late KO. Already moved to 1pm provisionally but it could be moved again for tv coverage. The OB won't allow it to be an evening game for crowd control reasons

we're away to Pompey in December.....

Likely to need a ST with a couple of away games bought on that customer no. to guarantee a ticket. Doubt there will be many willing to give up their ticket for this one. I won't be!

If there's one thing I'm sure about for the upcoming season, it is that Ipswich will finish a LOT higher than 16th. Anywhere between 3rd and 10th IMO. Not sure Leeds will finish that high either, doesn't sound like a very happy place up there at the moment

He won every header he ever went up for. Class act for us. Not enough regular football over the last 3 seasons or so though. Shame

Makes you a bit hoarse that stuff....

Absolutely despise Sambuca, Ouzo, anything aniseed. Would rather lick my nan out than drink that sh1t. Also dislike: Whiskey (bad experience as a teenager) Coffee Gin Red wine - just don't get the need to drink room temperature alcohol.....

Was in Serbia 2 years ago. The women there are stunning. HTH.

Slow day on Saintsweb....

Bring our Claus back

As long as there's yellow in it, that'll do me
