Poor match and an indifferent performance from Saints. Much too casual and sloppy. Too easy for us and 'yes' "you can only beat what's in front of you" but we should have done much better. Some of the defensive panic was undignified and needs sorting out. This is a poor league and we are becoming one of the better teams so things are looking good for next season especially as Cardiff, Hull & Watford seem ill-equipped to stay at this level assuming they come up from a even poorer nPC. I fancy Saints & Swansea for top eight next season.

Confirms what we already knew. Other clubs will know all about Le Bleu as well but as long as he is content here he won't move. After all he stayed loyal throughout the lower leagues stints when others of equal talent would have buggered off - except of course that there aren't many others of equal talent. I am sure Lowe brought him in to make money later so we should be glad that he is a million miles away. Hopefully, we'll be bidding for Arsenal players in the close season and really putting the **** up Wenger, what a reversal that would be!

Always told you he was the new Pires.. ya, ya!

Hang on! Don't under-estimate Jos Hooiveld. Jos was a superb player for Celtic in the CL and can easily hack it at that level. Why do you think Forren & Fonte are sitting on the bench? They are not injured so that must tell you something surely?

Easy! Easy! We'll win the league next year.

So a £100 bet on us for the chop could be worth £2 grand? Not bad, maybe worth a punt?

Brilliant stuff SFC, just keep them coming. Obviously we are not allowed to see any actual footie but does it matter to Sky after the event? Come on let's include some of the exciting on field action as well.

Braindead moron!

Of course he can't sign anybody until July so not much point in speculating wildly. Whoever is released here may be targets but let's wait until our retention list is published first.

Guess what happened next? Reading bet us 2-0 at the Madjeski, Reading stay up, Saints go down. It seems to be written into the script of life up there somewhere... Doh!

Anyway the thread is supposed to be about Wilde

You really are a jerk! Mr Crouch had a heart of gold and kept us alive at the most critical time. A true fan who happily for us was not all talk.

Let's be honest, Brett Omerod was never a premiership quality player by today's standards.

Well of course he's **** stirring like crazy, the comment about Shaw is designed to get into the lad's head and big him up so that he won't want to stay here - perfect agenda for a Skate. Happily, Luke Shaw seems to be very happy here playing every week, getting rave reviews and with a bunch of similar young ambitious lads who seem genuinely to enjoy being in each other's company. At 17 that's really quite important, why would he want to swap that comradeship for an uncertain future in a far off town were he'd have no friends or family at all Remember that first day away from home at Uni? Wasn't great fun was it?

Obviously he never sobered up enough!

Chelsea second team followed by a loan spell at Brighton... some prospect, no chance. Methinks Mr Shaw is a wee bit more canny than you seem able to give him credit for.

O-C made no secret of the fact that he wanted out as soon as he made the first team. He was never a Saint in heart or spirit just a money grubbing glory hunter.

Love it!

Miserable s.od, no b.loody pleasing some manic depressives.

Absolutely fascinating insight. Thank you SFC for this wonderful freebie. Can it be downloaded? At last some feeling that the club may have realised the importance of keeping their fans on-side. Loved it.

Typically today's Times concentrates 100% on Liverpool's woes in their 3-1 defeat on the South coast. Wonder who they were playing?

Spring in the air - at last. This looks like the real deal.

Advanced guard for next year? Obviously sussing out the nPC - good prep that's what it's all about.

At least Nicola is smiling for once
