    Forest have scored 1 away goal all season, and haven't won yet. Good job they're being welcomed to St Mary's next up ... the home of breaking unwanted records for away teams.

    Why should it make any difference if we are home or away? I thought ref's weren't biased?

    Some crowds can influence Refereeing decisions, Saints aren't one of those.

    Anyone who boos the team or an individual player should be shot.

    If I thought that booing my own team and players would improve things, then I would do it, but in my 70 years of experience it has always had the opposite effect, perhaps I am missing something?

    I think that summary execution is a tad harsh but I suggest that kneecapping for a first offence would be acceptable?

    Far to painless. Tie their bollocks to a tow hitch with piano wire and drag them around the car park. Happy new year all.

    Really? A bit excessive. I personally don’t boo, but I can understand why it’s happening. Fans pay hard earned money to see the drek offered up each week. They should be allowed to let the players manager and SR know they’re not happy.

    The other option is just not going to watch them, which would be awful.

    I find it more annoying that fans just sit on their arse saying nothing for 85 minutes, then leave early.

    Can we pin some hope on Forest having one less day to prepare for this match?
    Doesn’t normally mean anything when we play a team that has had a European game when we’ve had a week off, but straws and clutching.

    I think we should revert to rush goalies, where the nearest defender can go in goal. A combination of this, plus jumpers for goalposts, all passes to be below head height, and orange segments for the team at half time, should bring about a return to proper football. We'll still lose, but the crowd will consist of men in flat caps, long coats and scarves. Or am I in a Lowry painting?

    Oh, and we'll win 3-0.

    Read the room Saints. Nobody wants or cares about a ****ing light show. In case you hadn’t realised, we’re rooted to the bottom of the PL, are utter ****e and going down unless you actually do something about it in the transfer window. If I wanted to go to a light show, I’d go to a light show or a Coldplay gig, not a ****ing football match.

    So out of touch with the fan base it's unreal. More interested in making the tourists happy and entertained like in America. We'll be getting proper half-time shows soon.
