The Cat

To be honest I think that old grounds should count towards the 92. So if you've seen Saints at Highbury or at Layer Road then it should be included, but you can't add extra grounds on if, say, you've seen Saints at Maine Road and City of Manchester. Going by my rational I'm on 52, if not then I lose Highbury, Millmore and Layer Road and end up on 49. Will add Notts County, Dagenham & Redbridge, Peterborough, Rochdale, New Colchester and Plymouth this season. Gutted that I'll probably miss out on Carlisle, Hartlepool and Huddersfield though.

Probably a ball boy who was disgruntled at Harding for ragging off at him for the past 2 seasons.

It'll be alright, he can just use the Gerrard defence of "I hit him before he hit me".

Maybe you've only seen him at home under Adkins, because he's been much more disciplined in his position and worked a lot harder in the last 2 away games. At Yeovil he cleared one off the line as the last man back and he put in some good tackles at Wednesday. He still frustrates me, but I can forgive his wastefulness more when he's putting the effort in. Good solid performance all round today apart from the first minute! Comfortable win, fair play to the lino for giving the first pen as they normally bottle decisions like that.

I want us to be by far the greatest team the world has ever seen. Agree with a lot of the comments, football for me is definitely not about throwing ridiculous amounts of money at a team and buying success. I would be more than a little uncomfortable being a Man City fan right now. It must be very strange for their average fan who has followed them through the lower leagues to now see them paying players up to £200,000 a week. Would be nice to have a few european games at some point though, as for me going to Bucharest was definitely a big highlight of following Saints. I guess the ideal way to success is a couple of years in the Championship followed by a bit of yo-yoing up and down from the Premiership, before establishing ourselves as a mid table Prem team at which time a tactically astute manager (Paul Wotton) brings through a golden generation of players from the Academy with whom we romp our way to Premiership and Champions League glory.

Each to their own

Started at 1pm at Staplewood. Team is: Forecast, Argent, Martin, Tafazoli, Reeves, Dean, Pulis, Holmes, Mills, Doble, Hoskins Michael Poke is in goal for Brighton. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2169117,00.html

What annoys me more is getting texts off my Mum written in text speak which I don't understand. Don't worry Turkish, the ones I get from your Mum are very easy to read, although I think she got confused between "come" and "cum" the other day.

Tell you what, it's crazy here. I put the washing out and then it started raining!! Would you believe that! So I had to get it in and put it on the rack. That's almost like doing 2 lots of washing, so I consoled myself with a sit down, cup of tea and a biscuit. Thought about watching Loose Women, but I prefer mine tight.

Like how your Mum brought you up?

Oh, and I agree. Any women that moan about how hard their life is at home are just big fat liars. Yes sometimes the kids can be right little ****ers, but even then it beats going to work

I'm a stay at home dad too. While I'm typing this I have a 19 month old boy trying to force my bank cards into my mouth. Maybe at some point later I'll waft the hoover vaguely round the front room. Washing is done, just debating whether to put it out because it might rain. In a minute I might have another cup of tea. Later I need to get some potatoes. After lunch my son will go to sleep which gives me a couple of hours to look at porn and smoke. It's a tough life.

Not bad, not great. Don't know if it was a penalty as it was up the other end. Thought once we'd taken the lead we'd go on and win. Guly looked good once we he went to the centre. People may have thought it was a negative substitution taking Barnard off but it gave us more, and different options and we started looking for quick balls through the middle rather than just relying on the ball out wide. Lambert's shot that hit the bar was a screamer, other than that he played pretty much like he has been. Wouldn't say Hammond was our best player, but he did well. Morgan was the stand out for me, his run that set up the goal was excellent. Well taken by Guly too, who was very unlucky with the shot that hit the post.

Bet there's a few Bournemouth in the Saints ends on Saturday. Even if the game is database only there will be loads who will be on it and can get a ticket.

Christ, is this some kind of Muse love in? Love the bit about Arcade Fire being underrated! They've sold millions of albums, been number 1 all round the world, their gigs sell out in minutes and they have been one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the past decade. My favourite gigs: Low, Union Chapel 2000 Wilco, Wedgewood Rooms 2004 Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man, Shepherds Bush 2002 Orbital, Cambridge 1996 Elbow & PJ Harvey, Eden Project 2003 Flaming Lips, Camp Bestival 2008 Arcade Fire, Brixton Academy 2007 The Aliens, Bush Hall 2009 Faith No More, Phoenix Festival 1997 Super Furry Animals, Blissfields Festival 2009

We once convinced a friend that Friday had been canceled that week, she totally believed it too. Not that they're stupid comments as such as they are from my 5 year old son, but he's come out with a few classics along the way. My favourite was from a couple of years back when he was chatting to a 60 year old woman from round the corner about Playgroup when from out of the blue he asked her why she had stubble. He's also asked a bloke about 50 why his hands were shaking, a 30 year old woman why she was so fat, and in the presence of a dwarf in our local shop shouted out "DADDY, I SEE A LITTLE MAN"

Take a day off then!

I thought this was going to be a thread about Jeremy Beadle bidding farewell to his kids as they went back to Uni.

Roger Johnson is Alan Partridge.

Glad it's going to rain, I've just bought a huge brolly that will block at least 100 people's view in the terrace and I intend to use it even if it's only light drizzle.

Like others I find it quite amusing how much they hate us while we generally respond by going "meh" One sad sap has been writing anti Saints songs all over my mates Facebook page, songs that P*mpey sing. He's just a poor little scummer etc etc. Quite strange that they hate us loads yet can't come up with any of their own songs to back this up. I hope we nick the game with a last minute winner from substitute Lallana. That will really send them home with their zimmer frames between their legs.

This is mine. Photo taken just after I got really angry in the supermarket one day and ripped all my clothes off. I'm just out of shot to the right.

I used to get offered free tickets to see Saints most weeks through one company I worked for. They weren't of much use as I had a season ticket. Got taken to some away games in corporate though. Charlton a few times, Birmingham, Spurs and Fulham. Turned some down though as I didn't like dressing up to go to football and then having to sit with the home fans while all my mates were hammered in the away end and seemingly having a much better time than me.

Fork n' Chips in Woolston is quite good. Noticed their windows were smashed in last week. Either the work of someone who hates puns, or possibly that of militant local who believes the rumours they've heard about the owner.....
