No points for guessing my team!

I hear it all the time 'Saints are a one man team!' Pfft, the Leeds game proved that wrong. Davis has been immense between the sticks this season and Chappers has been a solid work horse in the middle. Still think we need to off a few if (not counting any chickens!!) we get promoted.

Reading game is a tough one, we have been great at home this season but have come off the boil lately, winner of this one will win the Championship me thinks, cant see West Ham catching up and I don?t think they will get through the play offs, think Birmingham will scrape it.

And yeap, as much as I am enjoying the Pompey fiasco and laughing that they are getting relegated, I hope they survive and come back stronger. Just isn?t the same without a local derby game.

I follow the championship, like a few here. I am a Southampton fan also.

I agree with StrikedOut, Saints aren't a one man team. As great as Lambert has been he still needs the delivery. Plus not one player can potentially give us back to back promotions, the whole team have worked hard.

I think since coming back in the new year Southampton haven't been their best, if they were still playing like they did at the start of the season i think the league would already be wrapped up.

Big game on Friday though, the winners of that game will go up Champions, as much as i'd like them to win the league, we just need automatic promotion, i'd hate to end up in the play offs. We just need a win or a draw, as i think our remaining games should be easier than Readings.

I'm not sure what to make of the Southampton/Reading match. Maybe the best result is for one team to take all 3 points which would give us the chance to hopefully catchup with 2nd place. We definitely cannot afford anymore draws now though!

Reading winning 2-1 at Southampton with less than 10 mins to go. I'd rather the Saints got the win as they have the better goal difference if it comes down to a head to head with the Hammers for the fight for 2nd place. Looks like we're destined for the play offs! :(

I knew i shouldn't of watched it. Soon as i switch it on, Reading score. Then i stop it and play Fez, and get told they equalised, so i started watching again... Reading score again!

While it looks like Reading will go up champions, i still reckon there might be a twist, hopefully not West Ham getting second over Southampton haha.

I watched the whole game and I have never seen such a one sided match for a few years. Saints dominated from start to finish but got caught on the break 3 times. To me going forward we were superb. Patient and effective. Front 2 wasn't quite on top form as their shots all seemed to go straight at their keeper. Defensively we were a little light weight leading to all of their goals.

If Reading play like that in the Prem then they won't last long but with our playing style and a little strenghthening we will progress.

Pompey won tonight while Bristol City had drawn.

Pompey need to win the remaining two matches and for Bristol, ideally to lose the last 2 or just get a draw.

I suppose Its nice Southampton get to go up, the Premier league tends to be quite boring with so many boring teams.

How they've played during the second half of the season they deserve to go up champions. Although being a Saints fan i hope Saints do instead, but i'll be happy with the second automatic promotion spot. Back to back promotion would be a great achievement by Saints considering where we were a few years back plus we'll get to unleash Rickie Lambert in the PL!

I know my opinion is wrong, but imo Portsmouth needs to go down, re-address their whole situation. I can see MANY players leaving at the end of the season and what "good" players will go to Portsmouth who are in ?58m debt and failing to pay anyone including players. They're in a bad situation but need to take a year out effectivly, demolish fratton park, build a new one with money they obviously don't have, but a bigger better stadium will give them more money in the long run as Portsmouth has a massive fan base and they all can't fit in at once!

I think for Pompey to survive getting religated would be the best thing for them. Easier to shift the over paid players allowing them to bring their expenditure into line with their income. A couple of seasons in L1 didnt do us or Leeds any harm and I am sure they would benefit too. Their biggest problem is going to be finding a buyer when they have little to no assets... Still, I wish them all the best.

I was getting a little annoyed at the Sky Sports News presenters when Reading were confirmed as promoted, they kept saying that Southampton couldnt catch them! Think they need to go back to school.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
