Why would that be great? I'm looking forward to a important cup tie on national TV. Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to read nonsense pretending that weaseling out of the FA Cup is some kind of magical rocket fuel that will take us to the Champions League. If we want to be a top level team, lets behave like one. Luckily our manager - a top level one - agrees with me.

He was just talking off the top of his head. Not an effing clue.

I approve any attacks on MOTD pundits that happen to be Joey Barton. Go for your lives, he's an utter *****. He just said "Southampton have solidified themselves". Idiot. Other than that, thought MOTD were fair enough and nice about us.

No. Repeatedly praised Tony Pulis. Arf. I can actually remember the one single post I made that you've built that little myth from. And I didn't even mention him in it. Being that your entire world view is built on lies, it's lovely you have a special one just for me. Go and find some dead people to accuse of being crisis actors you hateful cretin.

Didn't you say our chances of finishing top six "ended" a couple of weeks ago?

Strongest possible side please Ronald.

When the full time whistle went my first thought was quite simply - yes, this is a great victory but I'd much rather we'd have won the league in 1921 instead.

By quoting a post that is perfectly reasonable comment and still correct? Fair enough.

When did we start regularly playing in the Champions League? Must have missed that.

A certain forum comedy genius will do his gag shortly I am sure.

We're not messing about, are we? Get in.

And the last of the grizzling whiners complaints about how terribly run our club is finally crumbles into the dust. What a mess we're in.

Unlikely to be the primary motivation. Any streaming rights would probably be packaged up in a similar way to the TV deals.

There are two clubs with the most to gain by pushing a change to this "patently unjust" situation through, and are probably the only clubs with a genuine chance of getting anywhere near selling 8,000 odd away tickets season in, season out. So why aren't Manchester City and Liverpool demanding their 8,000 rightful allocation at Old Trafford?

That's fine, because it's a lovely little solution that SFC need to change absolutely nothing, but other clubs have to change things which would impact their season ticket holders, their members and general fans. Of course because it seems to benefit Saints you conveniently interpret as fair. You're asking MUFC to take out 5,000 seats away from their season tickets and members to put on a hold until a month before a match when, quelle surprise, Burnley, West Brom say they don't want any more than 2,500 - 3,000. How that is fair to Man United or its fans I fail to understand. You seem to think they should be punished for having a bigger ground. It's their ground, not yours. But it seems "fair" if you view the world entirely through the lens of Southampton Football Club so that's all right then. Lastly, on logic. All Premier League Clubs offer the same away allocation for all matches - 3,000 - is perfectly logical. The same number for all travelling fans. Same number. Exactly the same. Logical. With a nice caveat for clubs with smaller grounds. Same number, for everyone, except for the handful of clubs with grounds a little too small. Adding ones own pointless percentage yardstick does not render that agreement illogical.

If it is so unfair, why are the biggest clubs not changing it? Liverpool and Man City would love to take 8,000 fans to Old Trafford but can't under the current "patently unjust" system. They are several times more likely to be able to take that number of fans too - more so than bloody Burnley anyway. So its so unfair, which you can see so they must be able to see it too. So why don't they change this unfair system? Any ideas?

What question did you ask?

That's your default position when your arguments have been proven nonsense. Answer my question any time you like.

It isn't required, that's the point. We don't need it and expecting Man United to bin off season ticket holders on the off chance that Burnley or West Brom are going to suddenly demand their 8,000 seat allocation is utterly ridiculous. The system in place is perfectly logical and fair.

A lovely hysterical reaction to a simple question you refuse to answer. But coming from someone who shrieks "patently unjust" at something so utterly harmless, logical and completely fair that's no great surprise. Feel free to answer the question any time.

Why aren't Manchester City and Liverpool demanding their 8,000 rightful allocation at Old Trafford?

Probably because you don't have a clue.

Your suggestion isn't remotely fair. The current system is fair and logical. The ridiculous nature of your suggestion and the assumptions behind it have already been torn apart on this thread by others so I am not going to bother again.

Pro rata that is extraordinarily good money if she's getting that.

Looks like the kind of abortion the Italian would have saddled us with.
