So we had our carcass pretty well picked after entering admin - let's face it anything considered worthwhile by the outside World went. So how do you feel about picking other rotting corpses? Would you take anyone (else) from a very aptly termed Crippled Palace or our stinky neighbours down the road. Personally, I really think Darren Ambrose could be a real winner - at the skates only O'Hara, however If I was him I would be setting my sights a little higher (right now) as he is outstanding. Anyone else? Any thoughts?

You - my friend - are a hero to some gathered Southern California Saints!! THANKS!!

Thanks mate...I get it and your sentiment is appreciated.

About the time of the last game at the Dell, we went down to watch the scrubbers. They played a powerful West Ham reserve team and all the focus was on mainly Jermaine Defoe and to a certain extent Mark, some young phenom that had banged in a shed load for our youth team (his surname skips my mind). Anyway the star of the show was Scott MacDonald, he was strong, skillful and full of liveliness. Looked a real prospect....was that kid called Mark Peters???

Mustard mate - frigging mustard!!

You can: Post a comment to this thread of some added value. (this will entail thinking prior to posting) Ignore what doesn't concern you. (simple win-win scenario) Shut the hell up. (once again after engaging brain rather engaging fellow Saints fans in frivelous confrontation) It's not that simple for some of us a million miles away. Come on mate, you can be nicer than that. Peace out.

Any updates??? Anyway us ex-pats can 'watch' the game. Maybe those 'sites' already mentioned...any other ex-pat word??

IIIIIIIIIIIII love to go a-wandering, Through the Milton Road, I love to go a-wandering, Through the Milton Road, AAAAAAAAAAAAAND......

Good points mate...just the longer it goes, the more expensive the flights and last minute arrangements...Saints doing well tonight! Ball in net - disallowed tho'

Yeah...if televised and relayed there are some 'usable' sites out there. Thanks!

Thanks Jonny...we may have t'put that on the 'option' list. What we're trying t'find out is if there is someone showing it....thanks everyone for the Sky info, just not sure if we can pick that up here??

Hello there - Redondo Saint and I, amongst others were wondering how we can view the final. The club has tightened their ticket policy, attempting to ensure the correct people get tickets (which is an understandable policy) meaning that we ain't going. So can anyone help and give us sensible advice where we can maybe watch it, or how? Thanks as always.

Hello mate, having new windows fitted - listened to the first 80 minutes then went and played a top-of-the-table clash for the German club, lost 2-3, but a great game to play in, now watching a taped game with Landon Donovan playing .v. Brum. Do you go to the HDC and watch/support the LA Galaxy?

They're confirming your opinion on other sites as well. Even on the 'ugly', where we normally take the p!ss and have 'Top 3s'...someone is demanding an inquiry and claiming the center ref was 'corrupt'....strong stuff, must be some substance to it.

Great thread. Just a few changes. Every manager has at least 1 good signing Sir Father Ted Bates - Big Ron L McMenemy - Psycho C Nicholl - Did he sign Jimmy Case? I Branfoot - Ken Monkou quality cb A Ball - Jim Magilton no frills players who done a job well D Merrington - any of his youth players - as manager Neil Moss 2nd choice keeper G Souness - Claus Lundekvam as the song said ' our Claus in the middle of defence ' D Jones - Marian G Hoddle -Tahar if only for that tackle S Gray - Svennson, A G Strachan - Killer P Sturrock - Crouch S Wigley - Kasey Keller well he helped us beat the Skates H Redknapp - Ricardo Fuller? G Burley - Kelvin Davis top keeper for last 2 seasons N Pearson - Stern John J Poortveilt - Spiderman how did such crap find such a good young player M Wotte - He signed off with dignity A Pardew - Lambo - easy!! Oh and two best 'Bang for the buck' signings ever are Big Ron and Psycho - the 85 grand we ever spent!! (In my very humble opinion that is)

Third best in the nation today - really impressive. This Saints tidal wave is growing and getting outa control FFS

Sorry guys...must have dreamed that disallowed 'goal'...gotta be honest did not enjoy the game as I was feeling potential guilt if we didn't get a second...maybe I shoulda told you to have two bets...Saints to win - Saints to win 2-0...also did say it may have been Wembley I was dreaming about...

Mate - you are always one step ahead, fair enough!! Just so excited when waking, then you realize it was a dream...seemed so vivid and you cannot help but think, 'God, I hope that happens!!'

Very vague mate, late - late goal that sealed it (ironic as that may seem).

Sorry...no offense intended, just sharing a thought. A lot of hostility on here huh? Unhappiness maybe...let's all have a great weekend and hope Saints win. Peace out.

Nick is right end of - Also Wembley had a total lack of forsight in the very beginning, they should numerous scenarios planned for this very type of situation FFS Come on how ridiculous is it that you have a product for sale and an abundance of it, you also have a glut of customers and yet you can make the sale 'cause you couldn't plan a p!ss-up in a brewery??

Ain't dreamed about a game since late April '76 when I saw a 1-0 in my sleep.... Don't know if it was Leeds or Wembley and dreams are only dreams (also maybe senility)

Singalong everyone... "and we're friends together" "at the back of the Milton Road!!"

As you know, they're pretty well all mates of mine (and your's)...Funny Jim Brown recollection, went to WHL with him back in the 70s, he was with his bird - me with mine (Pat was it?) anyway he'd been going out with her for way longer than me and mine. So I dated mine for 3 years, married her for 20, had two kids, divorced her about 13-14 years ago and Jim is still 'going out with' and not married Pat FFS.. Think the game was one of those drab 70's 0-0s with Spurs, seemed liked we had about 5 in a row until it exploded into a 4-4 draw!! What catagory =

Andy, thanks for the update on a true Southampton fan & man. You're a great guy and we can always rely on you to tell it the way it was and is (for GM). Did you travel with him to games and did you go with Jim Brown, Gibbo and Micky Carter etc sometimes. Different going to away games now, tho' at Roots Hall and Boundary Park this season it felt more like the 70's than the 'oughties'...here's one of a very few NS/TM crossovers for you another great 'road-tune'.
