It was interesting to see Spors quoted in the Echo saying they bought Dobbin because they thought he was the best U23 player in the championship last year. He was really good yesterday and will score a fair few this season. Great ability to turn defenders and create space. But best in the league - did they not notice Lankshear at Oxford last year? We spied on them FFS so someone must have checked the iPhone footage!

Akachukwu smashing in the equalizer was one of my favourite moments in an otherwise unremittingly grim season. Especially as I was in the West Ham hospitality seats. if we ride our luck a bit we can get a result again.

If Leo had kept it low and drilled it he’d have scored and Finn would have two candidates for assist of the season. Brilliant performance, especially after the Ireland/Israel stress.

Just at the moment I don’t really care whether he’s banned or not as long as we beat the Skates 4-0 on Sunday. I reserve the right to revise my opinion on Monday.

Ah cheers. That’ll do me. Still a shit away end though and I’m in the upper bit 😡

Have tickets been sent out yet? Just realised I forgot to give the club my new address until today 🤦🏽 Secondly (so I’ve got something else to say), is it the least inspiring away end in the division? Maybe run close by Wolves giving about four rows along one entire side of the pitch. Both shit imo

If I remember correctly, when Chelsea were sanctioned for financial breaches by the FA it took more than six months from the initial verdict to reach a decision on Chelsea’s appeal. And all the details remained confidential while the appeal was pending. On a similar timeline that would take us to the end of March. Maybe we think we can spin the appeal process out for another six weeks into mid-May, to allow Tonda to get us promoted before he gets banned.

Lads, people are allowed to have opinions, even when they disagree with you and even when they are footballers. Finn and Gav obviously have different views on this. Fair play to both of them for taking a stand when the easy thing would be to do and say nothing.

FFS just as we’re about to take top place in the Badboys League, Man City and their Gulf money come and piss on our parade. Sports Republic out - they haven’t done enough.

Can’t shake the feeling that Parsons is out of his depth. Just not impressive. Hopefully Dragan knows what he’s doing there. We’ve got Eckert… (for now)

Chill - we’re gonna finish 8th and beat Boro in the play off final. And we’ll fucking smash the Skates. Just got to get through the three week yawn of an international break first.

You can stick your documentary up your etc and so on

I thought Akachukwu was our best player in the first half against West Ham and I hope he’ll be forcing himself into the reckoning as the season progresses. And for anyone saying you don’t win anything with kids I reply Alan fucking Hansen.

Looks like Schlotterbeck could Schlott right in at the beck. Could be a good signing.

Oh my god, the melting has started. Is it climate change?

‘Almost standing still’ after being the best team in the league for the second half of last season isn’t the worst place to be. We could easily have had a fucking fire sale after the spygate fiasco. Yet here we are with Peretz and Larin signed up and plenty of time to bring in others. Let it play out.

That’s cool. I don’t want to win the league. I want to beat Middlesbrough in the play off final at Wembley.

Good player - good addition

https://store.southamptonfc.com/kit/homekit/womens-team/4364_womens-team-home-shirt-2627-wmns.html The new women’s home shirt is absolutely superb. It makes the atrocity of our away kit an even greater crime. Which bit of ‘Yellows’ do they not understand ffs?

Absolutely this. I’ve already torn my season ticket in half.

That will certainly be Steve Gibson’s argument.

Yeah, clubs hate it when any of the work they do in the last 72 hours is made public. Massive disadvantage. It’s why Arsenal’s last session before the champions league final was streamed live on YouTube

Loan Will Lankshear from Spurs with obligation to buy if we go up.

In an us-against-the-world season a mouthy Israeli goalkeeper was a must. Insane signing.

I mean Fatawu for sure.
