We are playing Man.City next.

I agree.The Saints must put all energy to get back to the prem.Then only then will the club be back where they should be.

He is sort of like the biggest celebrity to put his name to the club.When you support a club for whatever reason,you are with them for life.Up and down.

Not too bad 1-1 full time,still in 5th!

Surman watch that name because he may be bought for 10 million pounds in the next few years.

Yet another "should win game" that has slipped through Saints fingers as Coventry scored two route one goals and Saints missed a host of chances to put a downer on Saints making the automatic promotion place as we slip to 6th in the table. Will Saints ever do things any way but the bloody hard way?

It was the case of 1 enjoyable minute of football and 89 of pretty scrappy and tense football, but Saints gained all three points thanks to a first minute goal by Marek Saganowski. His perfectly timed header from Bale's freekick, sailed into the corner of the net to push Saints up to 5th place in this increasingly tight top 8.Bottom-line,back to 5th!!!

Big Win!

Saints moved back into the play-off positions thanks to two goals in a minute right on the stroke of half-time. Jhon Viafara got the opener and then in-form Saganowski hammered in another spectacular goal as Saints claimed all three points in a scrappy game.

Saints missed the chance to stay in the top six after letting new leaders Sunderland leave St Mary's with all three points that they didn't deserve. It was tough on Saints, especially as we failed to hold onto a lead in a crucial match yet again. Is it bad luck that teams continually score from outside the box against us? Or is it more likely, we don't learn to close down those running at our penalty area?

Added on April 24, 2007, 10:01 amIt was far from pretty and at times, it was quite dire as Saints struggled to create much against 10 man Leeds. But, with 6 minutes to go, Bradley Wright-Phillips scored from close range via the underside of the bar and Saints had the three points that lifts us to 7th. With Preston losing and Stoke drawing, it puts us right back in the hunt.Push...push....push...

Leon Best grabbed an oh so vital winner for Saints to move into the last play off place by goals scored from Stoke. At one point in the day, Saints were even 4th, but WBA and Wolves also won to mean that 3 play off places are now between 5 sides. Saints have to beat relegated Southend next Sunday and that should be good enough for the play offs.Come on Super Saints go for Glory!!!

Added on May 7, 2007, 11:05 amIn a tense and emotion packed match, Saints came from behind to seal 6th place and now face Derby in the play-offs. After a quite wonderful tribute to Alan Ball that left a lump in the throat, Saints did their usual trick of putting us through a bit of torture, but we dominated the second half to cruise to a comfortable scoreline thanks to goals from Kenwyne Jones and Leon Best.Playoff here we come!!!

Added on May 16, 2007, 1:53 pmIt wasn't to be, despite showing tons of bottle and fight and also easily playing the better football, Saints season is over after the lottery of a penalty shootout. It doesn't matter who missed the pens, I do feel very proud of my team after giving their all, but when a team has as much unbelievable good luck as Derby have, there's not much you can do about it.

The 5,000 Saints fans who went tonight were just magnificent. A wall of noise for 120 minutes, drowning out the home fans and showing fantastic passion and support. Sod all those overhyped Northern fans, Saints fans are the best around. The evidence was there for all to see.

God knows how the team and fans who made the trip feel, as just watching it on TV made me feel like I've gone 12 rounds with Lennox Lewis. Shattered and gutted, yes, but probably more proud to be a Saints fan than I've felt in a very long time.

Well done to the players, management and the fans tonight. You were magnificent.

It's natural we will all feel down, but what's done is done and moaning and whinging won't change a damn thing. A month ago, I felt Saints wouldn't get into the playoffs because of lack of effort. I was wrong and with a makeshift side tonight and on other occasions, the team has given its all for us, which is all we can really ask.

We all know how cruel football can be and often those teams who deserve more, don't get it. I'm not being bitter saying that luck and muscle overcame skill and passion in these last two games, it's just a fact. How on earth can you account for the freak own goal tonight? It's impossible.

I know it will be difficult in the coming days not to feel down and perhaps go through moments of anger, but I am a great believer in what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger. I hope our team, club and fans can continue to get stronger. We can play our part by keeping our heads up and telling our workmates/schoolmates/fans of other clubs, how proud of Saints we are.

Players, management and, directors, come and go, the club and its fans are forever.

I'm bum out man. Long live the Saints.

Post season,I wanna see about Bale.

Hope we get a good price for him.Have you bought any Saints stuffs yet?

Groom him & make him the best he can be not only in Great Britain but the world too.From our hearts we wish him the best.10 million pound is good for us.

It's the Saints way of life.We let go one so that we may bring in 4-5 good players.

I'm hoping for our scouts to find new talents!!!

Go Poland.

Capped only 6 times for England.Long live Sir Matt.
