No rest for the wicked. Sell out crowd at St Marys and both teams will be up for it so hopefully it'll be a cracking atmosphere. Gonna go with 1 - 1.

I was in year 4 at primary school and we raised money for it. Truly shocking natural disaster.

Am I the only person who thinks he's ****? He is quick but has no football brain on him whatsoever. We're playing in the PL. You can have this kind of player as an impact sub but playing 90 minutes?

Knowing Southampton we'll probably win on Saturday. Qpr and Man City a couple of seasons ago comes to mind.

Tough on NA, but that's football at the moment. All sorts of nonsense going on in the background at Reading, so sack the manager. Hardly surprising that they have been struggling this season. Whoever comes in is likely to struggle as well. Don't think that NA quite cuts it in the top half of the Prem, but he was good for Saints and would have kept us up in the first season. Two promotions and one of the good guys in football. He kept his dignity when he left Saints.

Why does Tadic take the pens? His one at Arsenal in the LC was lucky to go in.

God save the Queen: The aim is to drop a penny in someone else's drink while they are holding it. Then everyone starts singing the national anthem and they have to down it before you finish singing. Easier for pints of beer. Harder for large amounts of spirits. Would recommend if in Scotland or Germany.

Slade is the best imo.

But most teams don't go from the bottom of league 1 to the top of the premier league over the space of 4 years?

Yawn. Couldn't they have chosen something more worthwhile to study?

I don't think they care. As long as 32,000 go through the gates every week, they could all be neutral for all they mind.

I agree with all of this. We did beat them in the COC though (perhaps they weren't really going for it). Think Arsenal 2 Southampton 0 though.

I used the Q-jacker system for the first time and found it pain-free.

Game was dull tonight so we were working out how many ex-Saints were playing in the Premier League. We had: Shaw (Man U) Chambers (Arsenal) Lovren (Liverpool) Lambert (Liverpool) Lallana (Liverpool) Hammond (Leicester) Walcott (Arsenal) Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal) Puncheon (Crystal Palace) Dyer (Swansea) Crouch (Stoke) Sub: Ramirez (Hull on loan) Manager: Pochettino Asst Mgr: Monk Kit Man: Redknapp Three man defence. Not quite sure who would go in goal. Should score loads of goals if they ever got the ball. Have we missed anyone? What about a Football League ex-Saints XI.

93%. It's starting...

Perhaps it's a message from the mods to show how far we have come?

Think that's a bit harsh. Winchester City won tonight as well.

Although not strictly related, I was going to this game with my dad and my uncle (since he supports Lincoln) but was called off because of a fire at the Hilton hotel. Had any one else planned on going to it?

Quite liked the music.

I picked up the following, which is a précis of the court summary The facts of the case are that Evans received a text telling him his friend had got a girl. Evans then changed direction and made his way to the hotel where he conned hotel staff into giving him a key and let himself into the room. He brought along two other men and they were positioned outside the window in order to film him. Evans then proceeded to pervgorm a second the semi conscious woman he found in the room and then had sex with her, at no point did she perform any sex acts on him. When the hotel porter became concerned and went to check on the woman his friend answered the door and denied Evans was there. After the attack evans left by the fire escape. The courts ruled that the woman did not consent to sexual activity, but the first man could not be proven to not reasonably believe she did consent so got a not guilty verdict. Evans however was shown to have no reasonable grounds to believe that the woman (a passed out stranger who had no contact with him until he performed sex acts on her)consented so was found guilty and later found to have no grounds for an appeal. How he still protests his innocence beggars belief. Presumably he thinks that because she did not object at the time (being too drunk) that it was OK. All he has admitted to is cheating on his girlfriend. I am all for rehabilitation and giving people chances. Ex convicts should be able to work. Just not sure that Ched Evans warrants it at the moment. He needs to take responsibility for his actions, accept the consequences and move on. Maybe then he can play again, but at the moment I would not want to see him play.

Would be possible if we won all 4 games and then were deducted 1 point for fielding an ineligible player. This is in some cases as is shown in this article: http://www.footballsite.co.uk/Statistics/Articles/DidYouKnow29.htm

53:01 - 54:00 cheers

Somewhere between 0 points and 12 points would be my guess.

I love the thought 37 games into the season of RK saying "it's been a good start to the season..."
