    Will do mate, the Green Man is supposed to be quite decent. Not far from ground at all either.

    Though if my last stop is near the ground then I will be taking a detour to walk down Wembley Way pre match :)

    Definitely doing Wembley way. At the JOT my lad was so excited to get there, we cut the corner off which goes straight from Wembley Central side to our end of the ground... I tried to convince him to walk round but he just wanted to get inside.

    Does that link imply they want us to use Wembley Central rather than Wembley Park tube station?

    Saw an interesting stat on SW (I know!) overnight.

    We're the only team to compete in all of the FA Cup, League Cup and JPT finals this century.



    Oh and 12 more sleeps <diva>

    Green man is generally the best in the area if the weather is good, they pitch up a big old marquee in the car park for additional capacity but as mentioned on that website gets rammo. (I used to live 2 doors down from the stadium) We have got the better end of the deal getting the West half, far better.

    Flew from Busan to Shanghai earlier today. Now waiting for the connecting flight to Paris. Then a cheeky little Flybe over the channel and back home for a week or so to soak in the build up. Ticket in the bag already (thanks mum).

    This will be my first game of the season. Glory-hunting at its finest.

    I put my time, money and effort in during the 90's and 00's.

    And the only reason Saints have done so well over the last 7-8 years is because I moved to the other side of the planet.

    <laugh> You realise if we lose this one, you will never be allowed back in the country during the football season again?

    That would be an excellent find if indeed that was Johnny Vegas. It's not even you, is it.? :)

    I want to know who Adam Blackmore supports, because he does a mighty good job of making it seem as if he's a Saints supporter. At 2-0 last Saturday he even hoped that Saints would go on to thrash Sunderland. Very un-BBC. But very Saints supporter. So is he a Saints supporter, or just doing a very good impression of one.?

    My first game of last season was the 4-0 win over Arsenal on boxing day. Hopefully I'll have a similar effect again!

    Oh actually, come to think of it I was at the Watford game on opening day this season. So the final's my second game.
