That's what Mr Luker indicated to me in an e-mail when I asked a few weeks ago. However as we're playing Carlisle, hopefully we'll get a decent enough allocation and there won't be a problem.

Armed with Gaydamak's finest weaponry imports.

Remember the last time we met? The blue few haven't let us forget. Therefore we have very little "to loose". We are two leagues below them, they have players (Utaka uhmmm) who are paid more than our entire starting 11 plus subs. On paper they should be wiping the floor with us... ...However fortunately sometimes football doesn't work like that. If we loose, not great but at least we'll have given them 90 minute of raw banter and hopefully put in a spirited performance. And IF we win, which I honestly believe is possible if we play as we did at times last night, it's going to be f***ing mental!!!

Alright then... I was by Wembley stadium this morning for work - looking up at the arch and with "Wembley, Wembley, we're the famous Southampton and we're going to Wembley" still echoing around my head it made the early start very bearable!

There's a few Sam Smiths around where I work - the local one "The Blue Posts" is cheap but the beer is sh!ite in my opinion - some of the others may be better though!

Great read.

Ha ha - Itchen north better prove yourselves against poopy then! That's if you guys survive the fishy odours!

Superb in block 42 tonight, the itchen were even quieter than the mk plastics. In truth, the best atmostphere I've experienced at St Mary's for a while!

Ironically, last week their fans were wanting points / a replay against Fulham as Nicky Shorey (on loan from Aston Villa) was playing for his third club in a single season. Just one own goal after another with Poopy at the moment!

If on average we draw away from home and win away from home all season (2 point per game), this will get you into the top 3/4 at the end of the season and could get automatic promotion. This is what we are GENERALLY doing at the moment - unfortunately due to the -10 and poor start it's not looking like we're going to be in the mix this season. At least we have a club to support, a fantastic owner and chairman, a proven manager, a possible Wembley trip and a bright future. Things are the best they've been for many years - 1 point at Exeter does not ruin any of that.

I'm sure I read somewhere the other day that its some time in March for the Premiership... although if they get relegated I'm not sure how it will work because its up to the Football Leaue to 1) accept them if they're still in a mess 2) decide on any points deductions.

Right, let's sack Pardew shall we. Genius!? He's assembling a squad of players to play the way he wants to, all thats gonna happen if a new manager comes in is next season will be exactly like this one, a team that hasnt gelled at all. If we're 12th in League 1 in 12 months time, then that's an issue. But we won't be.

Stop off for a coffee at the services. Wait til he does to the toilet, run back to the car, start the engine and you're away.... If you're feeling generous, you can pick him up on the way home.

4 league wins this season. 4 owners this season. With Chainrai already looking to sell and administrators knocking on the door, do we wreckon they'll end the season with more owners or leagee wins?

So Chainrai has been set-up by Gaydamak Jnr (via the broke sheik and the fake sheik) as revenge for the Gaydamak Snr court case last year?

Keep trying, you get there in the end!

Wow! What a morning! I got into work early at 8:30 to start getting through on the phone. Literally hundreds of phone calls to the main ticket office number and I got nowhere. Unfortunaltely my work blocks all decent websites so I couldn't get on here earlier to get the 01271 number. Just before lunchtime the main ticket office number has an automated response telling me the 01271 number, I call a few hundred times more and finally get through. The sound of a phone ringing on the other end and the ticket office's holding music has never sounded so good! Apparently the normal ticket office phone line has had issues all morning and only a trickle of calls were coming through to the call centre (not based at the stadium so it wasn't that phone callers were getting neglected in preference to the hardy souls who've been at the stadium since the early hours). Now, at 1:30pm I've just got off the phone (5 hours and at least a thousand useless phone calls later). Two block 40 tickets for poopy and two block 34 tickets for Leeds (apparently the northam is already sold out for Leeds?!) on their way!!! Perhaps camping out wasn't such as bad idea afterall... Edit: haven't got sacked from work yet either... bonus!

Ditto - even though it's happened 4/5 times now I still get excited when I get the music only to be let down.

Sorry if this has already been asked before, but does anyone know which other home games I can link to when I (hopefully) get tickets tomorrow? The OS obviously says... "If supporters cannot make the Walsall game, other fixtures can be chosen at the discretion of each supporter" I'm guessing I can only get tickets for games on general sale - the latest info I can find on the OS is dated 26th December and says only up to Leeds on general sale... surely there must be more games on general sale now? Cheers.

They probably kept 3 aside for the taxi load that made it to Coventry

20,000 leagues under chelsea?

Excellent news... I'll be buying a current Saints shirt for once as long as the quality's decent. Never liked the thought of walking around like an advertising board.

Home leg attendees only get priority for the final - I e-mailed David Luker about this a couple of weeks ago.

They're not playing too bad so far but are still 2-0 down. Happy days!

MKDons 1 - 1 Exeter - good for us.
