I love Boufal.

Yep. Found it.

I wish I knew what that means.... If anyone knows what channel it might be on Sportsmania when they sort their issues out let me know please

Not the people who want us to win the league cup. There will also be the "same people" who, if Forster or VVD does he knee in tonight will be going full on SEE SEE WE SHOULD HAVE PLAYED AN EVEN WEAKER SIDE SEE SEE. Same people, eh?

The point is our first team, or something resembling it, would annihilate Arsenal reserves and then we're in a freaking cup semi final. If we win the Puel's a genius. I like him a lot so let's hope he is.

Fuming. I'm going full Alpine on this one. By which I mean I've eaten 23 out of 24 Ferrero Rocher in the last six minutes.

It's not even the kids/back up-ness of it all but that's just a side that have never played together ever before.

Is tonight's game showing as a stream? Assumed it might not be being broadcast anywhere.

Nothing says going for it like a rookie full back up front. If we win, great. But that line up doesn't really deserve to. Let's hope to they are hungry and bound to improve.

How fuc king tired are these players? Jesus Christ. Mental.

Austin not even on the bench for a game that could go to penalties. Effing ridiculous.

There's drivel and then there's drivel.

My first match at the Dell. True story.

Halfway through last season we were as low as 13th, as part of a dreadful run of one win in eight during November/December. Quite frankly you have no idea whether we are "on track" for anything, good or bad.

Correct. Someday, maybe, people might start understanding that can work perfectly. If we are selling two or three players to CL level clubs every summer, then every season we'll finish top ten/do well in cups/or better/etc. If the first thing keeps happening then the second thing will also keep happening.

Ron looked and sounded like he had the right hump in his BBC interview. Beautiful. What we needed to do was make sure he had an effing sh## day. And we did. Sleep easy Ronald.

We will sell him eventually, probably in the summer but we will not be selling him in January. No way, no chance, not going to happen. We had all this rubbish about Mané last January and obviously it didn't happen and this won't either. June, sure. January, no.

Never thought I would care about the League Cup this season but we're here now, thanks to some excellent rotation/ squad management by Claude. Go for it, perfectly winnable.

Potential new manager/caretaker manager effect at Palace to put a spanner in it.

In conjunction with the post you edited after the result on the other thread, I'm giving you a 9/10. Great stuff.

Exceptional after-the-fact post editing there. The master craftsman.

And fair play Claude for chucking him in. The Southampton Way.
