Hmmmm not bad - 1-1 prob a fair result and good for us against one of the sides that will be there or therabouts in this league. I thought there were some clear gaps to fill and work on - but any we didn't think would be there? Don't think so. Thought the youngsters up front and then Murty and Davis with his double pen save in particular were on form. Need some signings of course but I feel we will be hearing quite a bit in next week or so - I think the attitude of the new administration has proven they can handle this and I have faith that they have the same views as the fans who turned out in force. I think odds are we will have a strong and stable first half of the season, get safe and possibly push on for a good finish. As I say not a negative free match but no negatives we didn't know about and I think they could have been avoided if there had been less Pinnacle business and more pre-season for Pardew and the boys.

The Football League Show starts on Saturday - shown nationwide. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/sporteditors/2009/08/the_right_to_highlight.html#more Basicallty after MOTD each week (23:45 this saturday) will be the show with all the FL goals. This prog will be on iplayer from sunday mornings. Then a 2-5 minute edit of EVERY FL game will appear on the BBC site by Mon for a Sat game. "That means, if your team plays on a Saturday in any of the competitions I outlined above, you can expect to see a video edit of that game (approx two-five minutes) on this website when you get to your desk at 9am on Monday mornings. If your game is on a Tuesday night, check in with us on the Thursday morning. Sunday game? We should be showing that to you on Tuesday mornings. You get the picture!" So goals that night on BBC TV, next day online and highlights online Mon morning or if your not happy get the Saints Player.

Yeah indeed - I was on Twitter constantly when the deals were coming through - def the new ITK as it just breeds rumours 75% untrue but there ya go! I am just being cynical - I think it must be a signing also - something happened late tonight.

Old news. Check this thread - http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=15568

Hmmmm I am hoping signing confirmations but looking at the Twitter message and other events perhaps it is just a dull Saints away kit on sale today - 'first few to message us wins one' thing to drive sales?

****ing hilarious - will prob make you the subject of a law suit but hilarious still!

Well that's that then! Sorted!

Thinking of going along to Huddersfield - live in Liverpool! Don't work Saturdays anymore so this would be my first away game in forever - gonna be on my tod though! What ya reckon - should I go or not?

My thoughts exactly!

Right I live in Liverpool - many miles away from SMS - instead of sitting on our bums here reporting what a friend of a friend says is happening at SMS we bloody well need someone to get down there! Any volunteers?
