I used to find it quite amusing watching Kenzie Benali tottering around the pitch in her high heels, especially after heavy rain, but now she has those big white trainers that all the 'hip' on-pitch commentators wear, even that 'entertainment' has been taken away. The kids' relay race was OK but it could definitely be improved if they accompanied it with the Benny Hill theme tune. There again, so could many of Saints' performances this season,such as the last quarter of yesterday's game when Saints' players were chasing after City players like Benny Hill used to chase after scantily dressed young women without any real hope of catching them.

They started that 'purple zone' thing 14 minutes into half-time. The players were lined up in the tunnel waiting to come out. What a shambles it was.

You hope. I remember the last time we got relegated to the Championship.

Chloe Kelly has a harder shot than any of our forwards.

We'd have a better chance persuading Jose Fonte to come here and I think he is going to be a very good manager if he retires as a player at the end of this season. He's been a tremendous captain for both Saints and Lille and he's helped develop so many youngsters who've played alongside him: Lovren, Alderweireld, van Dijk, Gabriel, Botman etc. I'm sure he'd do the same as a manager. He's also highly respected in Europe and would be able attract good players here, especially from Portugal and France.

Yes, I flew back from the Middle East just for this game. I had to buy a half season ticket in order to get my ticket for the match. I gave the season ticket to a mate before I flew back. I remember the Liverpool fans seemed quite intimidated by us after the game. We were all singing 'Southerners' in the tube station on the way back and the Liverpool fans kept very quiet. Of course, they wouldn't be today.

Fonte.

We need an inspirational young manager, like Kompany, to win the Championship. Fonte would be our best bet, working alongside Selles, who isn't going to be sacked, whether we want it or not. As for Potter, he'll get better offers.

Well, that was clear and obvious.

It's the same people but they were young and happy then.

Your predictions are reasonable but if we go on a little run and beat 2 out of Forest, Fulham and Brighton, we might just scrape home. The final game of the season will be massive and hopefully a repeat of the same fixture 7 years ago to this day, when we came back from 0-2 down to win 3-2. What an end to the season that would be.

Seven-year-old is carried away in tears after heartless goalkeeper SAVES his shots (msn.com) I wish somebody would carry Adam Armstrong away.

I think we all understood that you compared Tella's goals total from 3/4 of this season with Adams' and Armstrong's totals from the whole of their best seasons, and stopped reading at that point. 😀

You mean, maybe we could open him up and Nathan Tella would jump out?

It's ironic that his goals will see Burnley in the Premier League next season and our lack of them, us out of it.

It's a simple fact whereas your post is just another of your emotional outbursts 😀

Nathan Tella's scoring record in the Championship is better than Adam Armstrong's by quite a big margin. Adam Armstrong scored a goal every 3.3 games in the Championship. Nathan Tella has scored a goal every 2 games there. Update: Tella's latest hat-trick means he's now averaging a goal every 2 games.

Spurs' fans love him. "Fraser Forster is my nomination for signing of the season." "Forster doesnt create anxiety for his team, thats massive. hes a better keeper than the clown lloris" "I so much prefer him to Hugo. He can actually play football and pass the ball. Couple of good saves tonight as well." ""FRASER FORSTER/Crazy Horses" chant going in the SE corner.... Especially after the penalty save!"

It must have taken a hell of a long time to turn him round.

And then there's reality. Kelvin Davis conceded 93 goals in 53 Premier League games, with only 8 clean sheets, at an average per game of 1.75

I was at that game. It was definitely one of the more enjoyable ones. I was also at Fratton Park when we beat Pompey's first team 7-0 in the John Milkins Testimonial. That was even better.
