Hi Badsey, yep, managed to get 2 tickets Thanks! :-)

Hope this does make General Sale - I'm after 2 tickets myself to one of the only games I can get to in the midlands. Fingers crossed!

Good goal and a tidy celebration afterwards as well.

Turkish, I will admit that I'm very much a glass is half full person, so always try to look for the positives and I just feel that Mayuka could turn out to be a decent player for us in the future. He offered us much more than some last night, but that is not really saying much I'll admit.

Terrible game of football. Best team won, but we were just shocking. No high points to pick out at all. Whole team performance was just shocking really. The only thing I do want to say is that I thought Mayuka looked pretty good when he came on. He made some great runs to get in behind the defence, pointed where he wanted the ball yet no one even tried to get the ball through to him, deciding instead to hoof it high into Long all the time, which United dealt with easily. We really didn't look like ever opening them up with through balls to feet, which is what Mane and Mayuka can work with. Long balls into them is never going to work. Had a great evening though with a nice meal before the game, back to Nottingham for the last bus home but ending up in a local rock pub until 01:30 after copious amounts of JD and coke!

I thought Mayuka last night had a decent game. Spent a bit of time watching his movement and his attitude and he looked pretty good. Pointing where he wanted the ball, made some good, intelligent runs that if played in, he would've had opportunities. He also did a fair amount of chasing down as well. What I didn't understand was no one seemed to want to try and pass the ball through to him to feet at all. We really did play a lot of hoof ball, which is no good for players like Mane or Mayuka.

2mins 53 secs - I didn't realise that Charlie Sheen played for us!

That's me sorted for lunch time now then! :-)

He is a full international player with lots of experience. He has had some great games for us and is a very useful squad player. At the beginning of this season he was excellent when playing. I remember many comments from posters saying he had improved so much since last season. I think we'd be stupid to let him go to be honest.

I work for a big high street chain and have to agree with you. I'm sick of Black Friday and wish it would b*gger off back to the good ole US of A.

Being Saints fans, we never take any game for granted. I still expect us to lose most games, even this season. Just been bred into me over the years. Looking forward to this one, first game of the season for me - £27 for 2 tickets, single cheap train journey to one of our favourite cities. Couldn't really say no! :-)

Whenever I'm at St Marys I find it impossible to sing along with chants due to the prawn sandwich stuck in my gob!

Has Mr Rodriguez said that he want out of Southampton at any point? I don't believe I've heard that quote come from him or his agent at all? I did hear transfer speculation\rumour\paper talk in the summer that Tottenham wanted him, but that was all. I don't think that adds up to him wanting out of little old Southampton though? Unless someone ITK has previously posted something that I missed?

I want one! Would be great in the garage along with the table football, dart board and beer fridge!

Just keep singing his name. He'll be here forever!

Liverpool have just tabled a bid for both Clyne and Forster! ;-)

And yes, I know it is silly, but every year I always feel that this is the season that we are going to win something. That expectation is what drives us as supporters.

I second that statement. Why not hope and believe? That is what football is all about. Would Sutton Utd have beaten Coventry all those years ago without the belief and hope in what they were doing? I for one am just enjoying what is going on with our great team and truly believe that we will finish this season within the top 4. I also believe that we have a chance of winning something this year, including the premier league title. If we didn't have that belief, why bother supporting Saints at all or following football at all?

At the moment, I would highly recommed The Last of Us. It is a truly engaging and accomplished game. Lots of different elements in it and a great story with characters you bond with. I've found the aiming and shooting elements a bit clunky but that is probably more down to my own lack of skills as you will find yourself panicking at many points in the game as you get overwhelmed. I don't normally like stealth games that much and have found myself getting into more gunfights than taking out enemies by stealth, but when you do get it right, it is very rewarding. I've loving it.

I had just finished Mass Effect 2 before moving onto The Last of Us. Thoroughly enjoyed both ME1 and 2 very, very much. The 1st one has more role playing elements in it than the 2nd, which is more of a straight shooter, but both of them are excellent games with a deep and engaging story and lots of threads that inter-weave throughout. Geniune decision making that influences the game make the ME series a real cut above and a true highlight of the PS3 platform. I'm already looking forward to moving onto ME3 when I've finished The Last of Us...or maybe Dead Space 3? Decisions, decisions. :-)

Have had this since Christmas but only started playing it last week. Excellent story which is moved along nicely in-game and with the cut scenes. I can understand why some people have said it is a little repetative, like most games are really, however the link you have with the characters and the emotion in the game really pulls you in. Some of the set-up's are outstanding and I have to agree with the majority of people that this is a milestone on gaming achievement. Not as big as some games, i.e. Skyrym, but the atmosphere, story and emotion set this game apart. Really looking forward to completing it.

Good point out there. Forgot that the first time we went to Barcelona I ended up stopping some thieves stealing a ladies handbag while in a park during the day. Still, had a great time there last year and want to go back again soon.

Easy peasy, Berlin for me without a doubt. German beer, German food (Big Pork Knuckles) and the best night life of any city I've been to (lots of Heavy Metal). A shed load of your typical museums and then smaller museums for more niche tastes, i.e. the Ramones museum. We go at least twice a year for long weekends. Absolutely love the place. Good shouts for Barcelona and Paris as well. If you're ever in Paris, check out Black Dog. It's a Heavy Metal bar with the greatest steak restaurant in the back.

Actually MoPo equalled our best ever finish if standings in the table are the only criteria. WGS also got us to 8th in the table in the 2002/03 season with a final day 0-1 win at Maine Road against Man City. Killer scoring the only goal which lifted us up about 3 places in what was the final competitive game at Maine Road.

Didn't we loan Cork from Chelsea for a while before finally buying him? Would say that that worked out in our favour long term! I'm just pleased that we've got a Premier League player into a gap in the squad. Only need 3 or 4 more and we'll be stronger than ever.
