Clough hoping for a St Mary's result (From Daily Echo)

You're as deluded as the skates Cloughie junior. 3-1.

Well he's not going to say we are wasting our time playing at SMS because we have no chance is he ? He may say at 5pm 'I wish we hadn't bothered'

a good 3-1 today is what the fans expect against a poor Derby side, normally they are much stronger, just goes to show how bum clenching these next few weeks are going to be . Reading have come from no where but are well amongst it. We have the strongest team in the division with the exception maybe of the 'ammers. Comon saints time to give everyone a reality check, good win today to scare away the scavangers,lets pull away and let the rest fight for the scraps.
We are top of the league (hopefully) by 4.45pm

Morning Seed
I had a few beers with Slugger and Bill last Saturday.
We didn't have a clue who was who until I started talking to a bloke who'd come over from Norway and asked if he was one of the Foreign Legion of Saints fans that frequent this site.
Slugger and Bill were listening and then we couldn't believe we were all together.
The mad thing is we went to Reading away and Slugger was with a mate of mine and didn't mention the echo site all day.
Small world or what?
Are you in corporate today or slumming it with us common folk?
The Woolston Connection will be having a few jars in Shamrock Quay and then onto the Banana Wharf in Ocean Village before and after the game .
2-0 Saints, 2-0 Barnsley, 1-1 Nott'm F v Cov

Happy with that but need the two point cushion, as they will have two games in hand but agree that Blackpool will hold them or hopefully put a couple past them and win.

Hope saints will get a big win under our belt today think we are over due for one would like to say 4-0 saints but would be still happy with 1-0. Come on you saints. Also has chappers had set back or is he still not quite match fit yet????

There is no hope for derby ....

WE DEMAND AT FORTRESS ST MARY'S -THE WIN TODAY.

WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON

TOP OF THE LEAGUE WE MUST GO !!

RED ARMY - Red Army - RED ARMY

chappers is fit just hasn't been selected for the squads unfortunately! COME ON YOU SAINTS

Any win would do, but we are overdue a really big win. Let's have fun out there. Know we only go top because WHU are not playing, but psychologically would be great...show the others we are still the main contenders for automatic promotion.

Reality check, I also know that we should get a result today, but this is the Saints we are talking about, how often do they do what you expect them to do? There are so many variables, the major difference today is the weather forecast, if they are correct we are in for a miserable afternoon, just hope the Saints performance doesn't match it. If the Officials are fair, if NA has his tactics right, if we get the bounce of the ball, if all of the team turn up and play, if Derby don't have an inspired game, if the crowd keep onside, it should be a piece of cake, IF! COYR's.

This is the Battle of the Nigels. The English name Nigel comes from Normandy, originally Old Norse Njall and Gaelic Niall meaning 'champion' 'cloud' or 'passionate'. So we should be in for a cloudy afternoon, with plenty of passion, and Saints ending up top of the Championship. ONWARDS and UPWARDS. IN NIGEL WE TRUST!

Quality. In corporate as usual but doing some pubs as well, will try and get there. Being picked up at 11 for a nice fresh early start!

Saints win and Pompey going down with no money in the bank..... It's all good.

We'll have to organise a shin-dig at the Canterbury Arms SJ....best lay on champers and canopes for Seed! :O)

I feel a big win coming on today!!! I hope Billy Boy finds his scoring touch ( if selected). IMO the jury is still out on Mr Sharp. I spoke to my mate who is a Sheff Utd fan, and said that when they signed him he couldn't hit a barn door. He seemed to suffer from Bigger club syndrome! Let's hope that's not the case with us. I think a couple of goals will settle his nerves? My disappointment on wakin up this morning was that the skates didn't get deducted 20 points!!! I think back to the days of Luton, Bmth!!!

I feel sorry for Nigel Clough, he'll forever be in his father's shadow as we'll all know he'll never win back to back European Cups.
