Fair enough, but what would have happened if we had played Leeds and it was a potential sell out? Would Wembley have restricted the number of tickets available to prevent this happening?

Instead of a parade have a fun day type event at St Mary's so the kids can go along and see the players and the trophy.

I've never seen him at an away game.

Superb. Mine says "JOG ON". They'll look great hung up at Wembley.

I only own one Saints shirt, and that was bought about 5 years ago in the sale for £10 and is now lurking somewhere in the back of the cupboard. I'd never wear it to a football match. Doesn't really bother me that people can't tell what team I support from the clothes I wear. Just like they can't tell what music I like or what books I've read. I'd rather spend £30 on a match ticket and a few beers than an overpriced shirt. Might buy a big Saints foam hand though. Anyone know where I can get one?

Bill Hicks wasn't Canadian.

Just like the blokes then.

Ask him if he has any comments about the amount of money he's earned from the record sales and downloads of gullible young teenagers and alcoholic single mums (some of which fit into the same demographic) when all they get in return is disposable, insipid, predictable, over-produced music without artistic merit which they'll rarely listen to 3 months later.

Seems all a bit mid-90's SISA to me.

Yeah. Got to. It's Saints, it's football. My attendance does not depend on which league we're in, but no doubt if we are in the Premiership playing beautiful football in front of packed houses while winning back to back Champions Leagues I'll be grumbling incessantly about ticket prices and reminiscing about the time 7 years earlier when you could rock up to Wycombe, pay on the gate and sit where you want.

Arrgghhhh. I really hate the use of plurals like that. There's only one Newcastle, unless you're suggesting he's going to sign for the Aussie Rules team or the rugby union side.

Sausage, egg and chips. Proper nice bangers too. Got them from Owton's in Horton Heath.

I bet the stuff inside his 'other' folder is quite revealing.

Another bit from Matt Scott in today's Guardian: Balram Chainrai involved in debenture issues As Balram Chainrai says he intends to commit an extra £15m to keep Portsmouth going until the end of the season, Digger wonders what is the value of a debenture he lodged with Companies House back in January. Clearly it did little to improve the financial health of a club that has subsequently filed for administration. But unlike the £17m fixed-charge loan Chainrai registered last October the floating-charge debenture ranks alongside preferred creditors and has empowered him to appoint the administrator. When the Leeds United shareholder Astor Investment Holdings did this in 2007 the debenture was worth only £1,000. The taxman, at the time owed almost £7m, had to sit and watch while Astor appointed the administrator of its choice. This time HM Revenue & Customs is owed £12.1m by Pompey and will surely want to know that Chainrai has not had his own pick of insolvency experts for a sum worth 0.008% of theirs.

Justin is amazing. I'd love to see Mr Tumble on the pitch at half time.

Reading this thread makes me glad I arrive in the ground right on kick off and leave my seat on about 40 mins to get a beer. Used to Love Rofe. He'd wind up the away fans and then sing "Oh When The Saints" like a mad old tramp while everyone in the Archers laughed. Bring him back.

Beautiful football at times. Next season we'll win the league by 300 points.

Download Sopcast and you'll be able to watch most sport for free. If a sporting event is televised anywhere in the world it will more than likely be on the internet somewhere. Obviously quality varies but you can generally find a decent feed within 5 minutes.

Fair play to the one bloke who turned up to rag off at Storrie. SSN repeating the footage of him getting out the car. He called him Gaydamark's lapdog which was quite amusing.

We got into Europe when we were second best in the FA Cup final. Oh, and 110% doesn't exist. Maybe that's why we didn't beat Wycombe 16-0 last night. We forgot to play superhuman football. Add a few players into a squad that has clearly improved and spent time gelling and we will be fine. I'm enjoying this season too. Is that allowed? I've been to loads of new grounds and had some great laughs traveling round the country with my mates. Seen some cracking games, quality goals and comical moments. There's much, much more to being a supporter than the 90 minutes on the pitch. Maybe some of the people that moan on here that we're not 300 points clear at the top of the league should lighten up and try going to some games with their mates. Oh.
