Hope you're 'up there' having a great time Markus. We're having a great time down here at the moment and it's mostly down to you my friend. Happy Birthday!

Think we should sign him on a months loan. That would stop him scoring against us and he'd probably bang in a couple for us as well.

Just as a matter of interest FF, you say you still visit Bill Ellerington. Does he by any chance live in Stubbington? I only ask as my Mother who is in her ninetys and a big Saints fan got talking to an elderly guy a few years back who said he played for Saints with Alf Ramsey and she never found out who he was. Just wondering if it was Bill?

Yes. Let's hope he pulls through.

As previously posted, the guy is an absolute legend. Statue for Kelvin please!

That's a fantasic result. Well done boys!

I think it's blindingly obvious that we need some sort of real creativity in midfield and he appears to be the only one on the books that can occassionaly provide that, so let's go with him, at least until we've got someone better!

Hey, Punch. Welcome back. You have the talent and creativity. That inevitably comes with sensitivity. Ignore those with less talent than you and do your talking on the pitch. You will become a hero overnight if you get us up. That's the nature of this game!

Oh, for goodness sake, Dave is no doubt a thoroughly nice bloke, no doubt a huge Saints supporter and someone who still has a little bitterness in him which manifests itself in his commentaries and could be dangerous, given his immense popularity. That's all.

Well done Dave. Great win masterminded by our Nige. Great credit to you for acknowledging that!

Brilliant stuff boys. Very well done all round. Nige, you're a star!

Anyone can suggest that so and so should be playing in so and so position in hindsight but I'm pretty sure that our Dave wouldn't know any better than Nigel what to tell them do after that. Have you heard him once today saying how well Nigel Adkins has done so far this season? No, of course you haven't!

I would have thought a co-commentators job was to put some positive advice forward. Does he ever suggest tactical alternatives apart from the usual crass comments like, 'What Saints have to do now is not concede a goal!'

Anyone else noticed? Only takes a few bad results and he starts dissing the tactics. Does it in his usual 'Uncle Dave knows best' mode of course. My God, he makes me sick!

If someone was pinning me to the ground, my natural reaction would be to lash out and do anything I could to get up. Of course it's not a red! You boys who weren't around when men were men and football was football make me laugh!

"God, I'll never get to the that party in Dublin now!"

Terrific player!

Yes, great result for us and so glad we don't have to watch that load of rubbish every week.

A very Merry Christmas to all . Let's hope the boys give us a good one!

Surely depends if the other players want him back. If they don't get on with him then there's little point despite his ability.

Very well said!

How about Kilkenny?

Yep. Great stuff. A class act!

I blame their 'pom pom' girls. They deliberately took Guly's mind off the job in hand and it worked a treat! Good to see Kip Keino there. Legend! We were poor. Can't afford to stroll around like that again. Onwards and upwards on Tuesday.

For me (as the mighty Channon would say) not only his ability, but , more importantly, his modesty, is what i love about Ricky. Take note Drogba, Rooney and Tevez!
