Is Lee back? Never did get any official news on him. I know we like to keep things private, but Lee's hand injury is hardly a state secret.

Think Saffa means Tadanari Lee - hand injury Lee (Barnard) is on loan to Bmuff.

How long has it been since we could put out a "second string" 11 that has players as good as this? It has at least four players who are looking to get a first team run out at some time. Boruc/Chaplow/Shaw/M

ayuka. That is the spine of a strong team if ever I saw one !!

It's good to have this depth and its also good to know they will be taking it seriously to justify a first team place.

I hope we actually do well in this competition. I know the premiership takes priority but cup runs are exciting and fun for the fans.

Great move, branching out on a limb to put a Pole on the staff. This is an offshoot of my note to Nige in which I caned our keeper strength. Suspected he couldn't see the woods for the trees, so urged him to stop beating about the bush, get to the root of the problem and cut the deadwood at Staplewood to get us out of the woods.

Limber up and log a good one tonight Boruc and touch wood you'll stake your place!

It was good to get a win under our belts on Saturday, Saints played very well but let's not get carried away.
Aston Villa had won one game at home and drawn one away.
Everton next Saturday will be a different proposition entirely and we should do nothing tonight that will weaken our chances of bringng home at least a point from Goodison.
The League Cup or whatever its new name is, is a second class competition, which apart from the final and semi finals will be contested between clubs' reserves -- it should be re-named the Football Combination Cup which in the old days was a competition specifically for the stiffs.
For those not as knowledgeable or experienced as me, who will no doubt scream I'm talking nonsense,I say, just look up all the attendances and the team members in tomorrow's papers.
I would advise NA to play the reserves and tell them to treat the game as a friendly, we need a run in this Competition like a hole in the head! ---- NC will have to foresake the few bob a run in this competition would give him, the return is less than insignificant compared to Premiership survival.

I meant Tadanari as well. He came back from international break with arm in sling even though he didn't play. No news on OS though.

I see you have used a skit on Poles to enable you to slip in your favourite subject namely logs, laying logs or in this case logging a 'good one'.

I imagine auntie Eslpeth is to blame for this anally retentive obsession.

The masses finally wake up to the talents of Rickie Lambert


Football’s fashionistas are falling over themselves to acknowledge Southampton striker Rickie Lambert as the Premier League’s latest working-class hero. Grant Holt, Norwich’s status symbol, is so last year, dahling.

It’s all nonsense, of course, but the fuss is a sign that he, and Southampton, have arrived. The only surprise about Lambert’s emergence as an authentic top-class striker is that anyone is, well, surprised.

He is big enough to wear the number seven shirt at Southampton which, like the seven at Liverpool, nine at Newcastle, and 10 in most clubs, has a certain weight about it. It once belonged to Matt Le Tissier, who also dared to be different.

Scouts from all of the big clubs have nibbled at Lambert like fish attacking a piece of bread. But none saw beyond his immediate potential as a combative, physically imposing centre-forward. They were put off by his age, 30, and consequent lack of resale value.

That’s puzzling, given that he has scored 92 goals in the three years since his £1m move from Bristol Rovers. He has converted 26 penalties out of 26, and has his eye on Le Tissier’s club record of 47 out of 48.

He drops deep to link up play and has a good range of passes. He compensates for his lack of pace with spatial awareness and a quick football brain. He is not the big lump up front that some would have you believe his knack of pulling off his marker to find space at the far post has already embarrassed some celebrated defenders.

One of the subplots of Southampton’s season will be the development of his professional relationship with Gastón Ramírez, whose vision and technical ability will create chances for him even in the forbidding environment of the Premier League.

Lambert’s back story challenges the prejudices of what is, despite its global dimensions and superficial glamour, an innately conservative sport. He was unemployed for four months after being released by Blackpool and resurrected his career at Macclesfield, Stockport and Rochdale.

He’s no overnight hero, but he’ll be around for a while.

Waited on line this morning for West Ham away tickets and finally got through to purchase tickets at 9.15.
Then found out that the registration of members was not operational and it was only open for members already registered.
Called the ticket office and eventually got through after about ten minutes of redialling only to be told to call the other number for away tickets.
Called the other number and eventually gt through to an answer machine that told me to call back when it wasn't so busy.
Called again by hitting redial for about another ten minutes and finally got through to a human being.
I was told that they couldn't do anything about the registration issue as it was not operational and that the best bet for tickets would be to go to the ticket office.
Drove from Netley to the ticket office and queued for about ten minutes and finally got to the ticket office.
Told the lady I wanted 4 tickets for West Ham away and handed over the 4 customer numbers she asked for.
She then told me she'd checked the data base and could not give me any tickets because I hadn't already purchased 2 away match tickets.
I told her I was told to come over by people on the phone and this was not mentioned to me. I also told her about the fiasco I'd had since 9am trying to buy on line and get proper info via the two phone lines.
I also told her that because of work commitments I couldn't get to Man City but did go through similar hassle and tying to get an Arsenal away ticket to no avail because I hadn't gone to Man City away???
I asked her how can anyone (who has been a multiple season ticket holder for the past 3 years and has travelled the length and breadth of the country following Saints in League 1 and the Championship) ever get another away ticket for the Premier League campaign now they have missed the very first game of the season.
Her answer......wait until they go on general sale and IF there's any left you might be lucky.
What a total f@ck up.
The information given out is p1ss poor and the ticket allocations seem lower for away games in the premier league than they did in League 1 and the Championship which is also p1ss poor.
The Woolston Connection are becoming rather annoyed with the new allocation system and are slowly becoming and feeling disconnected from Saints.
Anyone else struggling out there or can anyone get hold of four West Ham tickets either through the sh1t Saints system or through another outlet????

Our system is shitte. I rang ticket office yesterday for Everton tickets but they said I had to do it online or in person. I'm home ill and can't do it online as I'm not registered and the registration bit isn't working. They also told me there are loads of tickets left.

We are even contemplating buying Everton tickets and selling them on if possible or just throwing them and he money away just to get an away ticket sale. We all want to go to West Ham, QPR, Liverpool and Norwich to mention a few but at this rate we will be going f@cking no where!!

When I was a sponsor I just sent an email and it all happened but NC decided he didn't want the manager sponsored any more so now I'm just an ordinary pleb like Slugger, Bill and Puppy. I even had a burger outside the ground on Saturday and they gave me some free sweets!

Why don't they do a 'season ticket' for away games? I'd buy one and sell on/give away the one's I couldn't do.

I would advise NA to play the reserves and tell them to treat the game as a friendly, we need a run in this Competition like a hole in the head! ---- NC will have to foresake the few bob a run in this competition would give him, the return is less than insignificant compared to Premiership survival.

Aston Villa had won one game at home and drawn one away.
Everton next Saturday will be a different proposition entirely and we should do nothing tonight that will weaken our chances of bringng home at least a point from Goodison.

All sorts of points of view emerge on this site and it is all the better for it. Censored or uncensored.

BUT - anyone who writes "For those not as knowledgeable or experienced as me .... " immediately defines themselves as an arrogant, self possessed, wind bag who really should look to stimulate debate rather than steam roller over any opposing view.

The fact that this was also far too many lines to quote what is essentially the bl**ding obvious just makes it worse.

To use your own phrase, you are indeed "talking nonsense" if you think that this passes as original thought or adds anything at all.

It just doesn't make sense to me.

I guess it is down to the capacity of the away teams stadium, won't get many for Wigan at that rate.

Our system is shitte. I rang ticket office yesterday for Everton tickets but they said I had to do it online or in person. I'm home ill and can't do it online as I'm not registered and the registration bit isn't working. They also told me there are loads of tickets left.

We are even contemplating buying Everton tickets and selling them on if possible or just throwing them and he money away just to get an away ticket sale. We all want to go to West Ham, QPR, Liverpool and Norwich to mention a few but at this rate we will be going f@cking no where!!

When I was a sponsor I just sent an email and it all happened but NC decided he didn't want the manager sponsored any more so now I'm just an ordinary pleb like Slugger, Bill and Puppy. I even had a burger outside the ground on Saturday and they gave me some free sweets!

Why don't they do a 'season ticket' for away games? I'd buy one and sell on/give away the one's I couldn't do.

I think a lot of people would do the same if it was put in place, I know we would.
Guess we'll have to get in line behind you plebs as well then.
I'd be careful of accepting sweets from strangers though!

With the exception of a couple of notable exceptions, it's always good to hear from Seagulls. I hope you're right about Wednesday, we'll see. How's Dean getting on? Hope he received a good welcome. Good luck for the season.

Some of the posts on our site were less than favourable about Dean. In fact a few were down right vitriolic. However as only 7 thousand saw him at the dump Withdean they were in the minority as we now have gates of 26 thousand plus there are 20 thousand or so who never new the lad. He has been more than warmly welcomed and has put a lot more backbone into our midfield. He will I am sure be a major factor in us joining you in the Premier. In fact he is so happy at the Albion he has stated that he would be happy to make it permenant. Your loss our gain I would be happy to say. Wednesday haven't gained a point since we beat them. You'll have no problem. Good luck.

Depends on the fixture. The London games will all be sell-outs but it's amazing how many fans won't travel past the midlands. There were absolutely loads of empty seats at the Etihad and I'm guessing Everton won't be a sell out either.

From what I read here, it can't be a sell-out if nobody can actually get the chance to buy one.

At least you're a sensible fan, making sensible points and not what Confucious would call 'a log'.

Seventh-Junction, every sympathy for you and all who are struggling with what seems to be a hoplessly inadequate system.

I intended to get Arsenal tickets but the 3,000 tickets went before I could say, 'Good loggy, miss moggy'.

Does anyone know why the club didn't ask for a second 3,000? I thought we were entitled to 10% for away Prem matches.

Would love to be over this w/e (if I could get tickets). Never been to Goodison. Alas, for us away fans, visits home this season could be a nightmare.

As for this evening, It won't be straight forward, the Owls have been investing. I wonder how Michael Antonio (if played) will get on. Sure Dave Jones will get a good reception.

I have e-mailed and even today spent an hour on the phone only for it to keep hanging up on me trying to get my wife and son on the register who always came to games with me and in the past were members, I have also brought along quite a few of my son's freinds for their first ever games, for last few seasons we were needed seems we are not anymore, I know Spurs sing a song like our's and tbh they are nearer.

And if we make Wembley I will be able to buy loads of tickets and sell them for a fortune!

I think it's wrong that the whole thing swings on Man City away. There will be a few who bought because of where they live and others who saw their first game in years.

I don't see why an all singing all dancing computer system can't take into account previous seasons away attendance, particularly this early in the new season.

You've got him wrong by the way. He gave me sweets and offered to take me back after the match to see his pet skunts but I couldn't make it this week. Nice chap. It's all new to me out there!

You have obviously never been on the receiving end of a chinese burn from one of the South Itchen Bovril Dogs of War! :O)

Having read the infantile and occasional repugnant responses to my considered, experienced and knowledgeable post, I am proud that I have never sunk to the same, to me, everyone's opinion counts, whether agreed with or not.
One poster commented that only 6,000 tickets have been sold for tonight's match, which supports my knowledgeable view that this competition is second class and that the best thing the Saints can do is get knocked out of it!
Premiership survival this season and consolidation in future seasons, is paramount, I'm sure NA and NC will agree with me.
Remember when 6,000 turn up at St Mary's tonight --- you read it here first!!!!

I've mastered this online booking system and it let's you link to 'friends' so I will link to Slugger, Bill, Puppy, J7 and other season ticket holders. I will be going to several northern games so if Mack, Strassie etc want tickets I can buy tickets and meet them there and the others get credited with going to an away game to boot.

So far you've been the only one stupid enough to text me their customer number and date of birth!

I put it down to your being born on Portsea Island - which hasn't been mentioned yet this season. Until now anyways :)

It was good to get a win under our belts on Saturday, Saints played very well but let's not get carried away.
Aston Villa had won one game at home and drawn one away.
Everton next Saturday will be a different proposition entirely and we should do nothing tonight that will weaken our chances of bringng home at least a point from Goodison.
The League Cup or whatever its new name is, is a second class competition, which apart from the final and semi finals will be contested between clubs' reserves -- it should be re-named the Football Combination Cup which in the old days was a competition specifically for the stiffs.
For those not as knowledgeable or experienced as me, who will no doubt scream I'm talking nonsense,I say, just look up all the attendances and the team members in tomorrow's papers.
I would advise NA to play the reserves and tell them to treat the game as a friendly, we need a run in this Competition like a hole in the head! ---- NC will have to foresake the few bob a run in this competition would give him, the return is less than insignificant compared to Premiership survival.
