    I think that's the point of the internet! (otherwise we'd all be down the pub before the match)

    Love off topic stuff.

    I personally vote that we ban all 'on-topic' stuff.

    Too depressing.

    I'm surprised it's lasted as long as well!
    I'm surprised it's lasted as long as well! FWIW I've never even been to Southampton!! I've lived most of my adult life abroad. Italy, Colombia, Mexico and currently reside in Budapest.

    Quite nomadic:

    Born Shirley, moved to Millbrook, back to Shirley, back to Millbrook, back to Shirley - all in the period of 20 years.

    Left home, moved to Portswood.

    Chased better job, moved to High Wycombe then Maidenhead, then Twford (Berkshire one).

    Got bored, moved to Dubai. Then Gulf War 2 started, moved back to Twyford (Berkshire one). Then Walton-on-Thames, just because.

    Then Sonning (near Reading). Then George Clooney moved to the area, so we moved away.

    Now living back in the area, West End.

    I hate moving :-(

    All pre-Administration Saints fans have great strength of character. That's what binds us :D
    And Matty was the greatest recruitment aid this club has ever had

    Just up the road from me then! (I pop over the border to Hungary because they have a Tescos that sells British essentials, like Jalfrezi curry sauce)

    I'm about 200 kilometres down the Danube. (or 2 hours on the motorway - when you settled in you'll have to come down for a pint in a sports bar to watch the Saints!)

    slightly off topic, but at the moment one Saints supporter is taking part in the Volvo Ocean race, one John Fisher now from Australia but from Marchwood Yacht Club and sailing on Sun Hung Kai/Scallywag. His boat won the leg to Hong Kong and now in the lead to New Zealand.

    Why get miserable before you have to? I intend to mourn if it happens, not weeks before.

    Why stop at just "don't get miserable yet"? I say we flip this whole thing around and enjoy it. In fact, let's have a relegation party if we go down!!

    That way, if we start looking forward to it, then it won't happen. We'll bloody survive and have to spend another whole year in the Prem. Boring.

    Championships always exciting and we'd be one of the big clubs

    Nothing like relegation to sort the men out from the boys ... And women out from the girls!

    Bring it on

    You know what we've never tried?... League Two!!! To be honest, I'm a little bit jealous that Pompey can say they've been down to the darkest, dirtiest depths of English professional football. League One was still a bit fancy-shmancy for my liking.
