No, common sense prevailed on this occasion.

These threads only serve to make me more nervous on matchdays! I believe 'one game at a time' is the mantra that a certain N. Adkins will employ. Actually he just claims not to know about these records (if you'll believe that)

If you offered me 20 points from that lot I'd snap your arm off for them. 2 point average per game is plenty, almost certainly title-winning form.

Daftly it seems lets you vote as many times as you like. Would certainly explain how quickly the Oxford lad's goal caught up in the poll.

Putting my 'trying not to get carried away' hat firmly on I'd say that 9 or 10 points would see us through a solid enough month. 12+ would be simply fantastic but let's take them one game at a time eh...

Sure, tar us all with that same brush... For what it's worth I had a proper go at the ****s waving their season tickets as they walked up the steps (ironically only just in time for them to see the start of the match - superfans indeed). We're not all like that in Block 42 by some margin!

Much shorter thread this one, isn't it? Controversy and outrage get people talking and sell papers. The number of people suckered into the basic model The Sun and other tabloids work upon is consistently amusing (albeit scary). Not to mention the fact that the original argument on here was petty at best. Let's hope there's no dividing the club as it stands. Onwards and upwards, together as one

Yep, I was going to suggest the Alex as they always tend to show Saints (and do food), but my girlfriend just pointed out that it may not be a child-friendly pub. Best place to go if they'll let him in though. Varsity definitely don't allow under-18s in at any time.

Piped up well I thought - especially bearing in mind that there was likely a large number of people in 1, 2 and 3 that aren't regulars.. Great to have vocal fans either side of the away support. From Block 42 I had no idea whether the West Ham fans were loud or not because the Northam/Itchen North end of the stadium was rocking virtually all game.

No, but I'll text you goal updates at a pound a pop. Could get quite expensive the way we're playing at the moment!

It should do, if your Android phone has Flash. Alternatively you can download the Football League app and choose Southampton when you first load it up. That pulls all of the news from the OS and lets you see the Player videos, albeit you have to pay a subscription even if you have a player one. Think it worked out as something like £13.99 for a year to get the videos through the app.

Haha, sadly not too far from the truth. Why pay to watch a game then leave your seat 35 mins into each half? Rather miss out on a beer and queue to leave the ground than miss a Saints goal.

What?! This is outrageous! Next you'll be telling me that the bald bloke with the mic fed her the answers! Or that Nicola Cortese doesn't really f*cking hate Pompey!

It was difficult to see on the highlights, but I think this photo from the OS shows it pretty clearly:

We have been the featured game this season. Big shame that they didn't show the fantastic passing build-up to Chappers' back-off-the-post rocket shot - it was sublime. Probably have to wait for the All Angles Covered on Saints Player for that. Link to the exact point in the show for our highlights: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b015n48j/The_Football_League_Show_2011_2012_02_10_2011/?t=10m22s

Heartened by the large smattering of positivity and general lack of toys thrown out of pram in this thread. Perhaps this really is a new era Obviously defeat is going to sting at any time, but if you'd told me at the start of the season that we'd be top of the flipping league after 9 games played (W6 D1 L2) I think I'd have laughed my spleen up. Onwards and upwards, blue line under it, look forward to the next game and so on and so on.

Jacky Corky, do do do do. You know it'll happen

Skate phishing.

I guess they don't go into the minutiae of every league and have blanket rules for this sort of thing. 'Shame' though, I agree. Noticed when playing Career as Saints in FIFA 11 that the Johnstone's Paint Trophy isn't divided into north and south either.

Good shout, cheers - think I only have the older version of that RAR.

Saw the ratings for the Leicester team this morning and they're waaaay over-statted in comparison to Saints

You can choose the development paths (and the specific areas of the car you want the mechanics to focus on) but only if/when you're #1 driver. I chose to start my career with Williams and Rubens seems to be putting the focus on downforce so far. Not finished a season yet so can't comment on your second question.

They've addressed near-as-damnit every issue and omission from F1 2010, as far as I can see. Halfway through my first season (10 races of 19) and enjoying it immensely. At the time of release I thought '10 was pretty much spot on but now can tell that there were a lot of little problems that hampered the experience - definitely couldn't go back. For one thing the feedback from the wheels feels like each one is individually modelled rather than the car pivoting on a central axis. Also means that you can attack the apexes rather than spinning every time you so much as dare to go near one. The graphics and framerate do seem to have taken a very slight downturn (it drops under 30fps on more occasions than I'd like), but at times (rainy races for example) it's still pretty stunning. Worth the small sacrifice for such a massively improved game overall (PS3 gamer by the way).

Quite, very negative. Nearly all of the chants and singing has been provided by our fans.
