kitch

Not really no, because being just my own opinion and all that doesn't translate into potential sales. Oh..........you were being funny. I get it.

Mercedes to throw away this season IMO, unless Newey pulls something out of the bag again mid-season. Bottas is class. Hoping Williams finally get their mojo back.

I'll stick my neck right out and say I liked last year's kit so much I bought it! That hasn't happened since 94/95 Pony/Dimplex.

:nod: Spot on!

Got in a couple of hours ago. I'm ashamed to say.....my first game at St Marys after loads at The Dell when I was younger! Pretty lacklustre game I thought, but if we can play badly and still win that's always a good thing. Yeovil came out with some fighting spirit in the first half but were pretty much knackered in the second after 50mins. Hats off to their fans - plenty of noise on the go! MOM for me was Cork. Workrate was high, pass completion sound and he covered when the defenders totted off (Jos had a few moments). That said, I actually thought Jos was dominant in the air today and put in a good shift. Maya.....dunno, a 5-6 from me. Shaw looked a bit uninterested at times, but Clyne seemed up for attacking. Thought Lallana put in a shift, though agree he was taking more touches than would be ideal at times. Still, he did better than I could have! Ward-Prowse looked ok, guy can really put in the crosses, eh? J-Rod looked a bit off, though I think playing alone up front doesn't seem to work for him. And what's with all the side-foot shots?! He needs to lace it once in a while! Guly....well I'm happy for the guy. From what I could see it was J-Rod who literally stuffed the ball into his chest and made him take it, though it could have been after the Northam end were egging him on to. He did a shift, looked rough at times but I'd say on the whole he did ok. Gallacher......excited about that one! Good control, took his goal brilliantly and wasn't afraid to get stuck in. Harrison Reed didn't get much time to make an impact, but an awesome cross to Davis at the end was his highlight. Good to see that youngsters getting game time. Experience at St. Marys on matchday? Loved it, it's a wonderful ground. But I'd not been to a game there before and I thought the atmosphere in the first half was woeful! It was so quiet at times I swear I've heard more noise at Conference matches! A league game for me next, me thinks and I'm excited already. I said to my brother (we used to go to The Dell together all the time as youngsters with Juinior Saints) that I knew as soon as I finally got off my arse and came to a game I'd regret not going for the last 10 years. It pretty much happened like that! Gutted not to get a programme though - did they sell all 15 of them in 10mins or something?! Cheers

Nice one guys, I'll put it to him tonight and see if he's up for it. As you say, the sitting still for 120mins or so will be the toughest act to follow. He's pretty good to be fair, so we'll see. Be nice to take him. Cheers

Remind me not to sit near you then To be fair I'm pretty bad with the language too - and to make it worse my kids always pick it up. One of them walked off the other day repeating "I'm going to f**king lose my s**t in a minute!" as I was building one of their toys at Christmas. Bad day.

Cheers, that's what I was thinking regarding Yeovil - it'll be quieter for him and it'll give him a chance to get used to it. Not sure what I've done wrong with him (or his twin brother) as I used to love loud noises! Used to take them both to airshows when they were 2....maybe it's my fault! Cheers

Might seem like a dumb question, but does anyone do this? I'm thinking of heading to the Yeovil game with my brother and I know one of my boys will want to come when he hears I'm going. He's only 4 (a little 4yr old too) and pretty quiet, but he seems to want to go and see a game there and I'd love to take him, but wanted to hear from others in the same boat. Used to go to The Dell all the time with my bro and most of the banter/langauge/rowdyness went over my head, but have never been to a game at St Mary's. I know we're a friendly club....not exactly Leeds or Millwall! Would imagine most people will say "yeah, the why the hell not?" but thought I'd check first. See there's a family enclosure - would that be ok? Opinions would be appreciated! Rich

I'm happy to run a couple of seasons in the shadows while we develop the squad and build up for a push in the future. The Cup would be great, but it's hit and miss and will take chunks out of the team. Ask yourselves - if you were told we're going to finish 9th this season, would you be happy? I would....how often do we finish in the top half of the prem?! If we continue to build as we are we could start pushing higher. We're not far off Newcastle in terms of quality, and they might be scrapping for Europe this season. Just my opinion of course.
