Perennial Underachiever

Bugger. Not our afternoon and no Plan B by the sounds of things. Very, very disappointing, but we were lucky it wasn't worse, considering Blackpool had no less than THREE(!) goals disallowed. Man of the match - the referee for disallowing three Blackpool goals, saving us from a hammering. :smt077 Saints man of the match - Kelvin Davis.

All the best to Mick and family for a speedy recovery.

Happy with a good result, and it's a real confidence booster for Saints. Let's hope it's the sign of a return to good times!

Shhhhh! It's Saints, plenty of time to mess it up. This will do wonders for Saints' confidence, especially if we keep a clean sheet.

One of the dogs died so 0/10. Utter shyte.

Wow, that's some seriously great gear, being a Canon user myself I'm envious!

Oh dear.

Off the mark at last. Great win.

Last year, in South America, I flew on a MD80 and this was in excellent condition and very well looked after. Yesterday's crash was made worse for any rescue attempt because the field the plane came down in was so dry that the vegetation caught fire and impeded the passage of people trying to get to the scene. St Landrew mentioned the DC10. I flew on one of those to the States a few years ago and was surprised that a US carrier was operating such an elderly aircraft. It was as rough as hell and the jet noise as the engines throttled up on take off was the loudest I have ever heard and it wasn't the most comfortable plane I have ever flown on, but I once flew on a Boeing 727 which was even rougher.

We were one of the favourites at the start of last season - look what happened there. So, I am hoping that the so-called experts will be wrong again.

Disappointed but not surprised - we never do well on the opening day. Onwards and upwards...
