The Cat

Archers. Generally front row as we didn't have season tickets then so used to go down the ticket office on the morning tickets went on sale to get our favourite spot. Loved it in there, easily the best times I've had supporting Saints. Original and funny songs, plus some top banter with the away fans. Makes all the difference when you're looking right at them from 20 yards away.

Just about recovered, it was about 20 years ago. Grew up next door to her old constituency home. Don't agree with much of her politics but she's alright really, used to buy me and my sister loads of chocolate for Xmas which may have somewhat endeared her to me!

I've seen her pants.

We were told to think 'higher' We were told it's a familiar face And I'm sure at some point we were told player manager. It's Peter Crouch

Can't you just ignore him though? Or in fact could you ignore each other? Maybe that way some threads will be saved from descending into petty squabbling that few other people reading this forum are interested in.

34? More like 43.

Saw him against Havant. Looked ok. Quite direct in running from midfield, and got stuck in to tackles. Had a few wild shots, but can't blame him for having a go as he was obviously trying to impress.

A quick look on some Rovers forums suggests they think we'll win comfortably tomorrow and Trollope is close to getting the boot. Seems like they're hacked off with his defensive style of football, which means they'll probably run out 1-0 winners after scoring from their only shot. One fan came to the Bolton game and states we have quick wingers, although he may have actually been referring to some of the posters on this site and meant "whingers".

Thanks

Playing the Guildhall in November. Can't wait. http://www.livenation.co.uk/event/18563/planet-jedward-tour-tickets

Any on here, or anyone know of a decent ones around the area? I live in Hamble. Need a new consumer unit fitted and our hall light fixed. Also want a new back door and possibly a wall knocked down in our kitchen.

I haven't been to bed since the start of the season and won't until Saints win a league game. It's a bit like the Newcastle facial hair malarkey, except slightly more dangerous. Right, I'm off to work. Got a long drive in my 40ft truck to Germany.

Very much looking forward to this, a repeat of last season would be mighty fine. I presume we'll be giving the black kit it's first proper outing.

No. Because we've been left in this position due to administration and having to build a new squad in no time at all. To get a full complement of permanent players in last season would never have happened. This season is a knock on from that. Also, every squad has holes in it. I doubt there's a manager in the world who is 100% happy with his squad. Even Barcelona want more players. It appears we have been trying to get Antonio, and Guly will hopefully be better than Waigo. I'm sure we've also been after plenty of other permanent players, it's just with the tight ship we now run in that respect there's less rumours. I don't think for a minute that our management team have sat down over the summer twiddling their thumbs while waiting to just snaffle a couple of loan signings before the deadline.

Loans fill the holes in the squad until a better permanent player can be signed. If we hadn't got Antonio and Waigo on loan last season we probably wouldn't have had the chance to see our team lift a trophy at Wembley. Likewise if we hadn't got Lucketti and Wright on loan we'd have got relegated from the Championship a darn sight quicker. Not quite sure how 'their agenda is completely selfish' though. Maybe, just maybe some players come on loan to clubs so they can play football and improve their game in a competitive atmosphere rather than being stuck in reserve teams. They will do this to the best of their ability to help the team they are playing for. Signing players isn't that easy. There's no magic wand to wave over players to persuade them to join a club. We can identify targets and make offers which other clubs can turn down. Even if they accept the deal the players may not want to join for many reasons. As far as I'm concerned Pardew is on ok manager. We could do better, but could also do a lot worse, nut I'm not going to start criticising him for matters that are often beyond his control. Just lighten up and stop being so antagonistic please.

We may have less pitchside advertising, but we're the only League 1 club to have a Fifa 11 board.

My pint was just as bad as normal. Maybe Cortese had arranged a "special" pint just for DBP. The pastie was tasteless. Bring back the balti pie.

Puncheon is clearly not rubbish, however he is very frustrating. It's almost like he can't do 2 good things in a row. He'll do an amazing bit of skill to get into a decent position but then waste or delay the pass, or wriggle past a few players and then put in a misdirected cross. It's inconsistency that has stopped him developing into a top class player - which is why he's in league 1. As for yesterdays performance, well it was ok. We created enough to win it comfortably but were denied by an in-form keeper, the woodwork and a hideous miss by Harding. After the game I was chatting to some Orient fans who said they thought Saints were an amazing team who would comfortably get promoted and couldn't believe their luck to have gained a point out of the game.

He's useless. Seriously rubbish. Don't know why people are getting excited about some little kid that's still struggling to grow bum fluff on his chin and can still count his pubes on the fingers of one tiny, tiny hand. Despite the fact I've never seen him play, or know anyone that has, this is FACT. The quicker we get rid of him and sign another player the better.

Gavyn Davies

I once got threatened with arrest while stood in the Archers singing "Eyal Berkovic what a ******, what a ******" when he came back to the Dell with West Ham. Copper said "anymore of that language and you're nicked". I asked him why considering there were well over 500 people singing the song, to which he replied "but you're the nearest". Mental. Seems like a change in policing policy recently. Let things get a bit heated and stand back, film the lot and make loads of arrests afterwards. Might it not be better to try and stop things getting out of hand in the first place.

He was terrible for us but funny. Everyone around me in the Northam just used to laugh whenever he got anywhere near the ball.

RIP Markus, thank you for bringing so much happiness to our club. You will be remembered forever.

Davis seemed to be trying to find Puncheon a lot, but without Lambert he really should be playing it short to the defenders and letting us build play from the back and through midfield. Can't say I see the point of hoofing it to a forward who has less than 50% chance of winning the ball and keeping possession.
