Losing 24 points from winning positions in 26 doesn't make us the luckiest side. We deserve more credit for our performances this season.

Southampton are to make an ambitious swoop for Ajax defender Nicolai Boilesen - THE SUN

@SimonPeach: #SaintsFC linked with #FCB's Andreu Fontàs tonight. Decent player but missed the most of last season with an ACL injury. Fit for purpose? @SimonPeach: Andreu Fontàs would reportedly cost #SaintsFC a fee of £6million. Good friend of #QPR's @alefaurlin after they did injury rehab together.

Can someone please tell me how I can get hold of the photo with Rickie on our shoulders? I want a high quality one to put up on my wall

Brilliant!

I was keeping an eye on the score pacing around the garden like a lunatic even when we were 3-0 up. That Tranmere comeback still haunts me now!

Holloway had a problem with us long before we played them in that cup game,He had a rant about us when he was manager of Plymouth,can't remember why but it doesn't take a lot to upset him!

Where's Guly? Injured?

BBC Solent Sport @solentsport Close Hearing of a double boost for #Saintsfc tonight - standby for the returns of Fonte & Lallana

Tevez's agent was on Talk Sport on Friday. He said a move to West Ham was impossible, despite Tevez having a soft spot for them. I wouldn't worry about him helping the Hammers beat us to the top spot!

I wish they did :-(

we did a ramos and ran over our league one runners up trophy... as a result, we announce the signing of ramos!

Connolly has really showed his quality in the games post Barnard's injury. To achieve that, without playing regularly shows he is worth keeping for 1 more year. Use him sparingly. How many of our other attacking players need a decent run in the team to perform at that level. Even watching back the highlights from the Plymouth and Walsall games, he is without doubt up to the championship when fit. So why not risk another year? He may be injured for large periods, but when he plays, his contribution is obvious! As for Jaidi, we have got to keep him one more year, he may not play ever game, but players of his mould are few and far between. I agree with previous comments regarding games against the 'Howard' type strikers. The mans a rock. An additional signing at CB to rotate with Jaidi, and be utilised for the games against rapid forwards would benefit the group. Especially an up-and-coming type, with a few to securing that position the following year? Obviously raising the question about Martin and Seaborne. When I have watched Seaborne I haven't always been 100% confident. However, we have not seen enough of him or Martin to say neither of them should have renewed contracts. perhaps Martin could go on loan to league one and then sign an up-and-coming CB that has championship experience. Leaving Seaborne as the fourth choice for next season. Gobern should definitely get a contract. He has looked comfortable at both filling in from the bench and karate! Perhaps loan him out, but there is still time for improvement. I think he deserves the chance. Butterfield and Harding have played a huge role this season and contributed massively to our promotion. They should be rewarded with contracts. Butterfield is a good solid player with plenty of assists. Harding has been very consistent. Both keeping league one LB and RB out of our team for the entire season, when fit. I do however agree with comments regarding the need to be ruthless. If we plan on a return to the premier league one just one season then signing premier league quality players would obviously be preferable. But it is important to remain realistic. We will push for the playoffs next season in my opinion with a few additions. Harding and Butterfield especially IMO will be in the starting 11 next season and we will be there, or there abouts.

Love this!

Any videos from the game this time round? Seem to have been videos from the last few away games...

I'm from macclesfield in cheshire...
