I’m driving up Saturday. Can’t be doing with the trains on the Sunday; they’ll be horrendous. |

This is how Leeds were playing a couple of months ago when they were the best side in the League. Had hoped that form had disappeared. |

In some ways, Norwich worry me more. I think they have the best striker in the League (Sargent), Rowe is also very good, and they are a really solid team. If we beat West Brom, we would probably raise our game more for Leeds. Though I imagine most fans would prefer Norwich to go through. |

An atmosphere to rival that tomorrow night would do me. Even Strachan, notoriously hard to please when it came to support from the fans, said we were good that day. |

Postecoglou’s hissy fit is typical of people in football who have never been a true supporter of a team in their life. They can’t relate to the seemingly irrational mindset of despising the concept of your most hated rivals winning the League. They generally have no clue, players or managers, as they are totally immune to our thinking. Ironically enough, I wonder if Levy had a word in his ear about it. Levy was probably dreading the reaction of Spurs fans if Arsenal were to win the Prem, and as a Spurs fan it would have properly smarted. |

I remember in the Hoddle days that we sent Wimbledon down, which I thought was quite a sad end to a great story. And given that it probably then led to the MK Dons fiasco, we may have played an inadvertent part in a rather tawdry episode in football history. |

A draw was probably a fair result over the whole game. But we started terribly and could have easily have been 3-0 down after 10 minutes if West Brom had had their shooting boots on. |

Well, I would suggest there is a notable difference between £80 million and “over £100 million”, but there you are. We are “financially fvcked” to the extent that we are being propped up by Solak. Which is like 90% of other clubs and their owners. |

I will leave you to look at the most recently filed accounts of Southampton Football Club Limited on the Companies House website (the year ended 30th June 2023). You will hopefully (like me) then be wondering where the hell Alfie House is getting his numbers from. |
| Forum Thread | Pyros / Drums etc. on Friday at 13:17 14 May 2024
Is everybody on here completely against this? Are we just all too old on here? I personally quite like the Legia Warsaw approach of going ridiculously over the top with flares in the ground. But that will obviously never happen over here. The pyros thing by the Ted Bates statue. Yeah, fine if loads turn up, but it's going to be sh1t if it's just a couple of dozen nippers, and we'll be a laughing stock. Do not want drums, clappers or any of that sh1t in the ground. Just pure loud noise from fans' mouths from the moment the players walk out until the final whistle. Doesn't need to be singing, just be loud. It's not that hard. Nobody mucking about on phones during the game. That'll do me. |

Having been at the game, I recorded it on SKY and watched the recording last night. Having watched it back, I think the whole tie could have been over after 10 minutes. We started incredibly sloppily, kept giving the ball away, and West Brom could easily have been 3 up. We came into the game more as it went on, but the same old weaknesses reared their head again. Their right-winger had the beating of Manning, and their best chance in the first-half came from there being hardly any effort from Manning to block a cross. And Sekou. What can be said about him that hasn't already been said? I don't think he would score more than 6 goals a season if he moved to a League 1 team. And their chance towards the end which McCarthy saved, leading to Stewart's deflected shot. How their winger got past (I think) Downes and Jack Stephens down the touchline was fairly criminal. Still, good to see Aribo can last on the pitch for 90 minutes. And McCarthy having another good game will only make our defence more confident. |

1. We also drank in town, think we may have seen the forum editor in The Windsor pre-match. So much nicer not to have long queues at the bar or plastic glasses. 2. West Brom is my favourite away day. I love their ground, always a good atmosphere there and a decent away end, albeit a few hundred seats less than we would prefer. They are good fans, West Brom. Passionate but without being a nasty sinister edge. 3. It was indeed very hot up there. 4. We got a very early train up there yesterday, which it sounds like we didn't need to do, as the 9.15am train from Central was not the carnage I had thought it would be. 5. The sped up version of OWTS definitely needs persisting with. [Post edited 13 May 12:38]
