Reply | Southampton Get Home Draw In Carabao Cup Quarter Final
at 22:54 30 Oct 2024
They were all tough games, with Palace being the most favourable. Liverpool are in top form this season but a home draw could play in our favour.
Just hope we take it more seriously than them. We need to be better than our best and they need to be at their lowest of performances for us to have a chance…
But I still believe! |

I don't believe it's wise to charge more tax on farmers. Post-brexit trade barriers have made us more reliant on locally sourced food and with profitability already so low, the increased taxation will most likely lead to a drop in produce in an industry we need to stay alive.
It's clearly not a very well thought out budget and will be interesting (to say the least) to see the results. I wouldn't describe it as a "refreshing budget". |

No, it isn’t a joke. Firstly I didn’t say I expected him to score with every cross. I don’t even expect a shot. Instead I’d expect a big striker, when the ball comes to him in the air, to redirect the ball as any professional footballer should. The ball connects with his head like a basketball on a trampoline.

This is true, and when we do get the ball into him it balloons off his head into space. But it is also true his height scares defenders. Paul with an Archer* could bamboozle the opposition.
*I mean Cameron Archer not a Robin Hood type figure. [Post edited 30 Oct 13:48]

We’re so boring. Paint dry would be an understatement. |

Awfully high prices for a Tuesday night league cup game. Not surprised they sold so few. |

Ben Brereton from Stoke is who has been playing for Saints. His alter ego Chilean Ben Brereton-Diaz is who's going to be playing Tuesday.
Much as how Mara from Paris only played a few times for us. Most the time he was from Bordeaux. |

What a grumpy idiot. Yes we lost. Yes we are bottom of the league. Yes we haven’t won a league game this season. But why don’t we happy clap more, it’s got us this far. Good to see the team were clapped off the pitch today. Much deserved, same again next week; derby’s record is in sight! |

I have a theory that we a club which needs active scrutinising measures on every player we sign, regardless of the price. We had this under Gao, though in terrible circumstances money wise. It’s this lack of scrutiny, with our new found wealth, which has caught us out and created a system of lacklustre recruitment.
Though having said there are many flaws in my argument. Fernandez, THB, and to a certain extent Downes have been good signings recently. But the flunking of money on Onuachu and Sulemana for example shows this in action. More money than sense. |

Got my ticket row MM of block 41. I'm expecting a good atmosphere from us singing to the empty seats. Is there any new songs I should be aware of? Or will it be the old Itchen repotoire from the odd few of us who'll actually be singing - how it should be.
Perhaps we could get some new ones going for those around to enjoy. |

Reply | Southampton Board Said To Have Set Deadline Day For Russell Martin
at 12:33 23 Oct 2024
Difference is Lawrie Mcmenemy was respected on merits of discipline aquired from national service and was an all round normal bloke. This guy gives you four days off despite you losing and his tactics are utter crap.
In football of the past Southampton under Lawrie, even when heading down, were able to attract Osgood. The foundations built from Bates. Martin doesn't have this, our current manager needs to build the foundations.
What "pull" does this manager have on average? Ryan Fraser and Ryan Manning. What foundations has he set? Passing round the back with his Cinderella football. What character has he instilled but for a hippy mentality and gutless spine? |
