  1. Hi Saint Nick! Tried to PM you but it wouldn't work. Are the tickets still available? EDIT - managed to PM now!
  2. It just goes to show how much `i miss this Forum! Tried the UI but there's no competition. Thanks for everyone involved in keeping this sire running! You only really understand how much you miss something when it's gone!
  3. Would love to go to this one - just totally missed the boat on it - me and my son to meet up with some Palace mates from work. Thanks if you can!
  4. Where's everyone meeting up for the Villa Away game? Any recommendations?
  5. Does anyone know any neutral pubs close to the ground where I can meet up with a Leeds mate before the game?
  6. Him and Mara were the first down the tunnel after the lap yesterday - both appeared to be totally uninterested and on their phones.
  7. Which pubs are people meeting up with to watch the Leicester game and onwards?
  8. Cheers Jack! We’ll go for that then!
  9. Is there an away pub that most people generally meet up at pre-game?
  10. Forgot to mention the record unbeaten run of games. How ungrateful are you moaners, especially considering the disruption all the recent injuries have caused to the team.
  11. Hoping for a loss to cheer up those people that think winning most of your home games (often in style) and drawing the aways is not a decent display. Especially with a young, driven manager and a young team of exciting prospects. Honestly. What a miserable bunch of budgies!
  12. It's quite difficult to create a good atmosphere if you concede a goal after 25 seconds. Kameldeen came on when we were losing 1-3 and was mainly shite.
  13. Normally I'd be anti it but for some reason, I'm enjoying it so far! We get a chance to properly celebrate the goal, then after around 10-15 seconds it comes on and feels like a chance to act like a dick and enjoy the moment again! Especially if you're near the away supporters!
  14. Do you mean in the Concourse? If so, yeah! They looked good. The new big screens on the pitch (behind each goal) were also a decent improvement!
  15. I've not played the games but it's one of the best things I've seen in ages! The acting is phenomenal! Much better than The Walking Dead in my opinion.
  16. I was in the Kingsland/Northam corner and it was pretty toxic. The support was good until the goal went in - then the crowd turned and started booing negative or hapless play by the team. The end of the game was the worse I've heard since the 'Swing Lowe' game against Derby. May be it was the area of the ground I was in was more vocal and sounded more toxic than other areas - but most of the Northam and a good element of the Kingsland were singing 'You don't know what you're doing" & 'Sacked in the morning" at the end. It's clear to me that if we don't get rid of Jones now, we are gone. The owners need to know that he has lost the supporters - and I feel we did that last night. The message was clear from the fans.
  17. Yeah! You could well be right! I was surprised at the high figure! Not a huge gap between the two teams and if Saints had taken their chances after Davies was subbed, then they could have gone on to win it.
  18. Over 13,000!
  19. Match Day 36 - Brentford 3 Saints 0 A horrorshow from Saints resulting in the majority of the fanbase calling for Ralph's head Match Day Comparison: Compared with last Season's MD 36 1-3 win away at Craven Cottage shows another drop in points and GD swing. -3 points; -4 GD Head-to-Head Comparison: Last season we won 0-2 at Bramall Lane - so again, big points dropped in this comparison. -1 points; 0 GD Next up on Match Day 37 are Liverpool at home (we won 1-0 last season in the H2H) so very difficult to improve on that. We have now officially regressed from last season - hence why a generally patient set of supporters have had enough. Though it would be typical of Saints to get something out of this game! We need to to stop us looking over our shoulders...
  20. Nice one! Yeah, the figures should be all good - I plug them into a spreadsheet (that was tested on Minsk's results prior to him passing).
  21. Match Day 34 - Brighton 2 Saints 2 A decent second half performance after a dire first, got us to the magic 40 point water mark. Match Day Comparison: Compared with last Season's MD 32 away at Anfield where we lost 2-0 to Liverpool, so a minor improvement against this metric! +3 points; +4 GD Head-to-Head Comparison: Last season we won 1-2 at the Amex - so again, points dropped in this comparison. +5 points; +8 GD Next up on Match Day 35 are coincidentally Palace at home (we won 3-1 last season in the H2H). We are still just about improving on last season, but anything but a win on Saturday will erode those comparison scores further!
  22. Match Day 32 - Saints 1 Arsenal 0 A decent performance was what was needed after last week's travesty and that's what we got with Lyanco and Frazer some of the key performers on the day. Match Day Comparison: Comared with last Season's MD 32 away at Tottenham where we lost 2-1, so a positive result against this metric! +3 points; +4 GD Head-to-Head Comparison: Last season's comparison was 1-3 loss at The Emirates - so an improvement in the H2H stakes and a GD increase as well! +10 points; +12 GD Next up on Match Day 33 are Burnley away (we won 0-1 at their place last season in the H2H) and a 1-1 draw with Leicester in the Match Day comparison. The comparison to last season is looking a bit more positive again, and we're tangibly doing comparatively better in the H2H and with some lower table teams coming up next we should expect to see both stats improve further. All I want is some improvement season on season and it's currently looking like that has happened so far...
  23. Match Day 30 - Leeds 1 - Saints 1 Finally putting a stop to our losing streak, but still not quite firing on all cylinders. Great to see Tella back and JWP is closing in on Beckham's record! Match Day Comparison: Sadly, this is the week where we are on a par with last season. I suppose our low points at the start of this season added to our recent run of form has finally equalled out with last season's Jeckel & Hyde form. We beat Burnley 3-2 at home on last season's MD 30, so points and GD dropped in terms of match day comparison. 0 points; +5 GD Head-to-Head Comparison: Last season's comparison was the depressing, 0-3 loss at Elland Road - so a small improvement in the H2H stakes and a GD increase as well! +8 points; +15 GD Next up on Match Day 31 are Chelsea at home (being compared to a respectable 1-1 in the H2H) and a 3-0 drubbing by West Brom in the Match Day comparison. Can we replicate Brentford's victory and capitalise on the fact that our game is sandwiched between Champions League ties with Real Madrid (with Chelsea only having 2 days rest between each game)?
