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.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
