Also went to that game (on Foley’s coach). You did get a voucher when you exited the ground for the replay!!! Mine never got used!! |

See they sold out last night, which is pretty impressive with just under two weeks to go. It did say an initial allocation of 5,500, but not sure if we will get any more??? |

I quite agree!! WBA is an example. They’ve only given us 2000 out of a 27,000 capacity which has sold out with over 3 weeks to go. A reciprocal amount for them would be around 2,500. |

It would appear that RM has rectified some of his earlier questionable decisions/tactics, he needs to accept defeat again and stop shoe horning Stephens in. |

I think some of the criticism (and scepticism) were as a result of the absolute mare of the previous season!! Think fans were at their lowest ebb and generally (and rightly) pissed off with everything. I have to say hats off to him as he was worked wonders getting the players to play this way (I had my doubts some of them could manage it). I also think he has been man enough to tweak where required. Yes, we have a decent squad, but think the heart had been ripped out of the club in the previous season. Need to go up in 2nd as not sure I could handle the play offs and wouldn’t fancy West Brom or Leeds over two legs! |

A true gentleman who transcends all football rivalries. An absolute legend of the game. |

Awful, awful substitutions. Che Adams for Alcaraz was the only one I’d have done being only 1-0 up. Sulemana & A Armstrong were doing ok. Lost our shape and handed the impetus to them. Blame the manager |

We simply haven’t got the players to play the way the manger wants. He should recognise that. Chaos |

Still alive, still got a season ticket, the odd post, but it’s been hard this season to bring myself to be enthused!! Plus kids, work and a few other things have made life a tad busier. Often lurk though!!! |

We had a period where we managed to replace players who were always going to leave us, BUT we managed to pull off some great replacements. Lallana, Lambert, Lovren, chambers, Shaw replaced by Tadić, Mané, Bertrand, Alderwiereld, Pellè etc. This continued for a bit with the likes of Van Djick,Soares etc but then eventually we weee found out. Most clubs of our “status” will always suffer from this. A couple of seasons to punch above our weight, before the meritocracy returns to normal. Just think we’ve wasted a bit of this legacy in recent years and have been dragged in to unnecessary relegation battles (the appointment of Jones’s being such a huge self inflicted wound). |

Complete madness from day one. Up there with the Lowe appointments when he was attempting to show the footballing world there was another way. I remember watching the videos of training sessions from Staplewood as he walked around with scraps of paper in his hand, reeling off irrelevant and nonsensical commands and being totally unconvinced about him. I imagine most of the players just looked at him and thought how is he telling me what to do! Throw in a monumental lack of self awareness and it has to go down as the most crass appointment in recent years in the game. Problem is that it was all spunked away during a time where we had a run of games where we had a chance of gaining some points. Been resigned to being relegated for ages now, it’s too late for anyone to turn it around. |

Absolute garbage. Awful line up, no passion and completely overrun. The game just passed Tella & Diallo by and we were crying out for a change. The substitutions should have happened at 1-1, not when we were trailing and when we did go behind we stuck with 1 up front. I’ve always supported Ralph, but tonight was shocking. A chance to finish the season on a high, but instead it ended on a whimper. One of the worst ends to a season I can remember. |

A very, very, very close second, that’s for sure. I’ve mellowed on United, never had a problem with City, deference to almost everyone else, but the Blue and then Red of Liverpool are right up there. Can’t even bring myself to visit the City and if Brookside was still on, then I’d be boycotting that too (unless Heather Haversham was more of a regular!). [Post edited 22 Feb 2022 9:39]

Solent single handedly attempted to dispel my dislike of Everton, but as much of a great lad he is, he failed!!! From John Bailey to Adrian Heath to Richarlison, they’re still my number one hated team (Portsmuff don’t really count again, given the gulf between us and the irregularity of playing them!!). Which is why I’m still beaming from Saturday. Sorry Solent 🥰 |

As you say, still catch up with him annually when he pops over and I think he went to about 6 games last August/September including trips to Newcastle, Newport & Everton. One of the most generous Saints fans out there and has put me up twice when I’ve been over to the US. Certainly knows his football and has a great life over in LA/Orange County. Well connected both here and over there. Flying the flag for Saints on the West Coast. |
