IMHO we should start with the same 11 as on Monday; Cork & Hammond played well by all accounts & I think we'll need to be in Reading's face from the off to stamp our authority on the game.

Add some guile & craft from Lallana, defensive solidity from Jose & Jos & goals from Rickie & Billy & we will win & go up as Champions, not just runners up.

COYR & PBR!

League One bound and being liquidized is their future !!!

2) gus poyet showed both jealousy and ambition to cause needle with his statement about non descript reading.

The fact is sad and sorry brighton are just an average wannabe championship side and that's where they will remain.

If poyet had real ambition he would leave the club - and that may happen sooner rather than later when he gets a reality check with the club he is at.

FINALLY - THE MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE AND HAVING A LAUGH !!

that's you mate ... and the beauty of football and all the different posts is that everyone has a different opinion about a whole range of topics and issues ...

I've called it as I see it - and brighton are a Championside side IMO.

What we both want is that THE MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON GOING BACK TO THE PREMIERSHIP !!

Whether it's the STATION.. THE PRINCE OF WALES or THE NORTHAM CLUB !!!

WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON.

Reading will be tough. In Ian Harte they have a player who can win the game for them or equally lose it. A world class left foot from set pieces but very slow and easily out run down the right flank. I am sure Nigel will instruct our players not to give away needless free kicks and corners and test him out down the right wing. If we can control the game and stop them attacking down our flanks we can win by getting early crosses onto the back stick for Rickie. Victory would be fantastic, a draw acceptable. COYR we are almost there.

Loving your optimism Dan! You would have thought that we'd have enough to beat them! But the skates weren't in form and got a result, these guys are on fire don't forget.

It's going to be the hardest game of the season for us. This is a real test, and i can't wait!

For anyone who's going Friday, please can you make more noise!! The only time St. Marys was rocking Saturday was when we scored and 5 minutes towards the end. Why not make it last the whole 90 minutes this time, from start to finish!! COME ON

the problem i have with Friday is we dont perform well when we are on Sky TV. I think that this game could be a real challenge. A long as we are top two i dont care though. Like i said earlier on in the week the team that wins the title often struggle when they go up to the prem so will happily take 2nd spot.

It does go on a lot more about the middle - halfway between the limit and the outset etc - but then it gets a bit confusing - but you will all have got the point with this first part of the speech.

Disappointingly, Churchill made no mention of 'the higher they get, the fewer' - or even the beginning of the higher or the end of the fewer.

We could have used that for 'the end of the few'.

admittedly it would get a tad annoying but everytime he popped out you'd be able to laugh at him and say to the kids "Look it's that silly, smelly gnome with the obsolete name and silly tattoos of a club that used to be just down the road"

I had the same feelings of trepidation in '76 when we faced WBA (Jonny Giles et al) in a cup replay at the Dell. We had got a draw at the Hawthorns without really deserving it and I thought we'd have a really tough time in the replay. We were 3-0 up after 10 minutes and won the game 4-0. So despite the unease in my stomach, I predict we'll beat Reading comfortably - very high stakes game, NA will have the squad 100% focussed, and I just think we're stronger than they are. 4-0. We've been saying for weeks it's time someone got a thumping. You read it here first.

You make a wonderful sales pitch, but what you fail to mention is the Farton timber is riddled and rotting with infested wood worms like Whiteslime. Nothing from there will ever last, I’ll pass on this one thanks.

I don't think Puncheon has particularly covered himself in glory since he was welcomed back into the fold, which is a real shame. From what I've seen he's looked like he's not really on the same page as the rest of the team (which is understandable to some extent) and he's not been good enough at keeping hold of the ball or finding team mates.

Steve, on the other hand, has looked a real danger every time he's come on, although for some reason doesn't carry the same level of potency when he starts. I'm not sure what the solution is, to be honest. Maybe Valencia?

All timbers will be treated for insects/worms and with Sainsbury's disinfectant which kills 99.9% of all known germs. The remaining 0.1% will be eliminated with a small bottle of Scandinavian Yakult probiotic drink (each bottle contains 6.5 billion 'good bacteria' which kill the bad guys).

Didn't expect to beat Reading, but last night's performance left me more optimistic that we can get something at West Ham.
I left the game believing you can edge it on Friday. Reading were efficient in defence, but should be more severely tested by your strikeforce. Millwall gave us more of a scare up front.

If we beat West Ham, I expect a written admission from Red Army that we are a slightly ABOVE average Championship side. Gus is ambitious, and he's also in the right place.
You haven't seen the last of us!

Dan, - we were relying on you at Blackpool!
The new deal is West Ham for Boro'.

SaintKenny, - accurate assessment as usual.

Slugger, - I like your cosmopolitan approach.
Maybe we should explore the possibility of Brighton and Hove and Southampton becoming twin cities :)

UTA, COYR.

Ha! When in Reading, I have sometimes popped into the library. Next time, I'll look to see if it's called Reading Reading Library.

Near Strasbourg is the little town of B!tch, begging the question often asked in the middle ages,
'which B!tch b!tch is a witch, if all of B!tch's b!tches which aren't witches look the same as the B!tch b!tch which is a witch?'

Of course, this question confused most locals whose grasp of English was (and probably still is) rather limited. I guess they should pop down Reading Reading Library and read a few books.

I would like the Echo to produce some stats about the Berkshire club's attempts to feign injury. I don't know if they're particularly bad or not, but I would love it - LOVE IT - if they had the headline 'Reading, Writhing and Arithmetic'.

You can have that for free. Cheers.

Ha! When in Reading, I have sometimes popped into the library. Next time, I'll look to see if it's called Reading Reading Library.

Near Strasbourg is the little town of B!tch, begging the question often asked in the middle ages,
'which B!tch b!tch is a witch, if all of B!tch's b!tches which aren't witches look the same as the B!tch b!tch which is a witch?'

Of course, this question confused most locals whose grasp of English was (and probably still is) rather limited. I guess they should pop down Reading Reading Library and read a few books.

In Japan there's a place called Gofuku and in Turkey a place called Bigadic. Would be quite interesting to hear them cheering their respective teams on.

The fact is sad and sorry brighton are just an average wannabe championship side and that's where they will remain. If poyet had real ambition he would leave the club - and that may happen sooner rather than later when he gets a reality check with the club he is at. FINALLY - THE MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE AND HAVING A LAUGH !! advance warning to reading fans who are intending to travel to see the game friday stay at home OR ... before and after the game outside the stadium SHUT IT and no mouthing off in the CHAPEL Friday !!!

I have put my order into the administrator for 3 tons of old Farton timbers - and the artisan has been commissioned to construct the 'Farton Memorial Clocks' (a wall hanging Farton frontage clock - a la the traditional Swiss chalet design).

The artisan has devised two clever clockwork features...

On the quarter hour a blue shirted skate gnome pops out of a Farton window saying 'tick' five times - but no 'tock'. Then out of an adjacent window a little Adolf Hitler lookalike taxman pops out and says: "Skate svinehunt, vee have veys of making you tock."

On the hour, a blue shirted cuckoo pops out of the front door and f@rts very loudly.

When they're ready for market, you on here will be given first call.

A premium-priced tailor made clock can be produced to incorporate any bespoke features you may want (within technical reason). Let me know ASAP if you have any special requests.

Can they do a really ugly tattooed gnome who comes out only at midnight and omitts a foul stench of fish and stale booze from his mouth whilst ringing a silly little bell?
admittedly it would get a tad annoying but everytime he popped out you'd be able to laugh at him and say to the kids "Look it's that silly, smelly gnome with the obsolete name and silly tattoos of a club that used to be just down the road"

Can do the gnome/bell but you'd have to get the bad smell elsewhere. Could try a specialist: eg Beefy Egg.com or Fannybatter.co.uk.

As an alternative to Adolf Hitler could you do a Harry Redknapp version who pops out and says 'I facked the scummers as well you know.'

You could then sell an air gun with the clock so Saints fans could try to shoot 'Arry every time he pops his head out.

This would increase the market place for you, increase the margin and drive the product upmarket.

Replaceable 'Arrys could be sold in boxes of 5.

THE MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON CAN AND WILL GET THE WIN.

Yeah ... we know they are a threat but so are we - with the Crowd driving SAINTS on and on and over the finishing line Home and Away to WIN-WIN-WIN.

Always wary of the counter and ready to cover and tackle the reading runner - WE CAN THIS BEAT THIS ****

It is not just the wings that will cause a problem but if we win the Midfield and dominate and restrict the Reading Chances then the 3 Points are there for the taking.

There are lots of Flags now available in the Saints Shop (which are ideal for the Home Games) ... and priced reasonably.

We will be out in the Pubs Friday

1) Chapel Arms
2) Joshua tree
3) Waterfront
4) Prince of Wales
5) King Alfred
6) Banana Wharf (Ocean Village)
7) Station
8) Royal Oak
9) Mavericks
10) The Northam Club

AND WE AIM FOR A SUCCESSFUL FRIDAY EVENING WITH A BRACE OF GOALS AND KEEPING A CLEAN SHEET.

SOUTHAMPTON 2 reading 0

WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON'S RED ARMY. FIGHT AND WIN.
COYR.
