I'd love a big-name Premiership club in the next round so we can have a great day out, put on a show, lose, feel no shame in the loss and then concentrate on the league.

Yes it does matter. It matters a lot. Thanks for asking.

We now have a physio as a manager, so if he can't keep fit now he never will. Otherwise he'll be back in the treatment room soon, something nobody else seems to have picked up on...

Nigel Adkins thinks Nigel Adkins would agree with this. Back to the stripes next season please, lets leave this years kit as a one-off commemorative kit.

I miss that station The BBC commentary isn't bad, I don't really have a problem with it as I can at least work out what's going on and it does have a Saints bias. But that's no good if you're actually being forced to listen to Bournemouth.

Solent have mentioned the problems a couple of times now, so I guess they have been flooded with emails about it! I've emailed Jordan Sibley too. In fact, I replied to the email he sent me when I first complained last month so he could see his promises that this would improve.

Bingo... Saints Player can go jump this week methinks. Thanks Real shame this doesn't work every week.

Thanks for the tip, might have to do that. Just as I'm typing this... it's switched to Cherries only! No Saints at all now.

I have no idea what's going on in the game. I can only make out the occasional exciting bits when Saints do something more interesting than the Cherries, so our commentators get louder than theirs!

Can anybody remember that last time Saints Player wasn't an absolute **** up?

Sums it up perfectly for me. No harm in taking the **** out of each other, having a laugh and a bit of banter. But when posts turn to simply throwing digs at each other, it gets boring very quickly.

You can have the best of both worlds, so long as the players involved are disciplined enough. If players are allowed to push forward on the attack, but have instruction to get back and defend when we, as a team, are defending you can avoid being exposed. It is a balancing act though.

Just behind the forwards with a licence to roam. Then have Morgan in the middle and behind him for cover and distribution.

I'd hate to be on the Saints side of this idea after a really bad home performance. Rounding up fans into a small space after a bad performance and fuelling them with alcohol is enough to scare the crap out of any player. Great to see new ideas though, it shows at least that people are thinking about more than football.

You should take a few offers of help from those in this thread offering to be a Mod... Fair point though

It does indeed take all sorts. I'm all for passion and aggression where needed, I just worry when it starts getting directed at the officials. Remember that Prutton lad...

It's not like he is inexperienced or particularly young (for a footballer) though, he must have come up against idiot Ref's before so should know how to deal with them.

Yeah not this one, but as always decent threads are descending into drivel far too quickly. You can't ban all the idiots so please, and this isn't aimed at you personally but is a general comment, start moderating. Start removing posts, giving public warnings, doing whatever you need to moderate posts rather than just ban anyone who looks like trouble. Just look at the Jason Punch thread... how on earth are the last few posts still there, considering they are just bickering between two kids.

I thought it was time for a fresh start? Since we're still bickering with each other, Mods' are either non-existent or clearly not happy and those who run the site are nowhere to be seen. I'd hardly call it fresh.

Karma. You have to love it.

Another great thing today was the tactics and use of subs! Inspired choice to bring AC on, and a good call bringing Wotton on to help close the game out. All very inspiring really.

4 Points off 2nd, 14th in the league. If we can avoid dropping any stupid points we could be well on the up! Great win

Down to 14th now... still 4 points off 2nd though. What an odd league.

I'd take the last two back, but the first two don't interest me at all. I think DMcG would be an ideal striking option for us this season and we all know what Antonio can do.

Good to see NA making changes to close the game and finish things off.
