They'd be better off staying at home and watching the ants on their back lawn. |

It's an excellent draw and if it's anything like the 7 goal thriller the last time we played them in the FA Cup, it will be the best game of the season so far. |

12,120 including 600 Swansea fans. This game came at the lowest point of a terrible season. The next league game will be sold out, 31,000, and there will be a much bigger crowd than today's for the Burnley cup game. [Post edited 12 Jan 19:20]

"Seems like a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 but no centre forward, yet two up front but no Archer. Seems a strange team selection. Fernandes back but Ogochukwu, Aribo and Manning in midfield. Sulemana up front with Dibling."
We were all a bit wary of this but Juric obviously knew what he was doing. Sulemana and Dibling were great up front together and deservedly got 3 goals and 2 assists. In contrast, Archer and Armstrong were innocuous as ususal.
I'd like to see Juric continue with Sulemana and Dibling up front in the league, but I'd also like to see Amo-Ameyaw given a chance. |

Today, admittedly against Championship opposition, Juric found our best pairing up front: Sulemana and Dibling. Together they were a real goal threat, with 3 goals and 2 assists. When Archer and Armstrong came on as subs, they were nowhere near as good, never looked like scoring and, unsurprisingly, had 0 goals and 0 assists. [Post edited 12 Jan 19:01]

Nick is right. You'll find supporters exactly like them at all clubs, including Millwall, Leeds and Crystal Palace. There isn't one particular type of fan at any club, but how fans act depends a lot on results on the pitch. Our fans are no better or no worse. There isn't some special type of human being who lives only in Southampton. In fact, it's a very average city.
What you'll find on the social media and messageboards for all clubs when they lose is one type of fan who moans and another type who moans about the ones who are moaning, but when their team keeps on losing, a third type of fan seems to emerge, who moans about the ones who aren't moaning. I guess because we are losing much more than other teams, we may have a few more of that type. [Post edited 12 Jan 15:28]

"I wonder what the attendance will be v Newcastle?"
Over 30,000.
I just checked, There are only 100 tickets left, so it will be sold out well in advance, which means 31,000+. [Post edited 12 Jan 12:59]

That's the problem with the play-offs: a couple of exceptional performances can see an average Championship side promoted.
The 2 automatically promoted teams, who themselves weren't particularly good ones, both finished miles clear of us, and did the double over us, with the top one beating us 9-1 on aggregate. We all knew that we'd probably come straight back down again, but we didn't realize just how badly we would fall. I guess the heavy defeats we suffered last season should have warned us. A team good enough for the Premier League doesn't lose games 5-0 to other Championship sides. [Post edited 12 Jan 9:51]

Just because a team beats us 5-0 doesn't mean they're any good. Sunderland and Leicester beat us 5-0 last season and Brentford's win at St Mary's was their only win in their last 7 games. |

Bournemouth's derby could be an FA Cup Final v Brighton. They are far better than Saints and Pompey. Bournemouth are currently 20/1 9th favourites to win the Cup while Saints are 125/1 and Pompey were knocked out by a League One team. [Post edited 11 Jan 18:47]

We were living in a bit of a fool's pardise after last season's play-offs. We were 9 points off the automatic promotion places. The fact that the only 2 teams anywhere near Premier League quality, Ipswich and Leicester, both did the double over us, with the latter beating us 9-1 on aggregate, and one of the other better Championship teams, Sunderland, beating us 5-0, should have prepared us for what was going to happen this season.

It's been widely reported that Newcastle want Ramsdale. The only question is when the deal will be done. Quite honestly, I wouldn't blame Ramsdale for leaving now. He's by far and away our best player, and the only one who could play for a top 6 team now, but being in such a terrible team here must be soul-destroying. He seems like a decent bloke and I wish him well. It's a shame he couldn't have been with us when we had a better team.
We're already relegated so the only difference it will make to us is that we'll let in more goals in the remaining games and the owners will be made fully aware that we can't start next season with Bazunu and McCarthy as our goalkeepers, which if Ramsdale isn't sold until the summer, is what's going to happen.

When theatres are advertising new plays, they cherry pick the best bits from what are sometimes very bad reviews. So, if a reviewer writes, "This play was absolutely awful. The other actors were so bad that they made even the terrible Fred Brown's performance look outstanding," the theatre will advertise, "Outstanding performance by Fred Brown!"
Saints could advertise, "Southampton FC, the Record Breaking Team! "
If the TV programme, Record Breakers, was still on, they could've been our shirt sponsors. [Post edited 10 Jan 11:13]
