Sound the shoehorn.

Will be tactically fascinating. I expect both teams to finish on 70% possession.

Thanks for putting this, I've got one, nice short drive to an away so very pleased with that. Cheers (still four left)

I think this will be right. My understanding is a standing area in safe standing has to take up the same space as a seat. So the capacity doesn't change, you don't fit more in. And the club have to spend money ripping seats out and replacing them with railings etc. There's not much in it for the club economically. Demand for standing will be high, so I doubt there will be any reason at all for them to be cheaper. People will want them. If people thought they wanted standing to save themselves ticket money, prepare to be disappointed.

Beat me to it, I looked before and it was way more than half of clubs in Championship put their away fans behind the goal - I've done Stoke, Coventry and Wednesday this season and behind the goal all three times. Not sure why people are desperate to pretend it is some unique thing to Southampton.

West Ham needed Flynn Downes tonight.

We're all very sorry that your appeal hearing didn't go the way you wanted. All we can say is for you to keep your nose clean, keep working hard and try again for the Summer Window circle recruitment process. All the best 👍 👌

There are a few on here that want Ipswich to win on Monday to dump us back into third and give Ipswich the biggest shot of confidence and self-belief they can wish for, nicely sat in second into February.

The missing piece of the jigsaw.

This hard-working mega grafting machine you are describing completed one entire full season as a top flight football club Chairman. One. When he cried off from that he never ever again worked in top flight football ever, ever again. An easy life without effort or responsibility, indeed.

Well, only a couple of hours ago we were having serious discussions about admitting you to the entry-level Outer Circle (provisional*). I'm sorry to say you have set yourself back months with that outburst. *by formal invitation.

We just trundle on from "typical us we're going to lose because it's our former assistant manager" to "typical us we're going to lose because it's our managers return to his former club" Look, we're going to win and be second all weekend long.

You're making out 7 is a small number. If Leicester drop down to Norwich/Preston levels let's say they get 14 points from the next ten. Their form at this point would stink. We carry on motoring at 2 points a game - BREAKING RECORDS - we still don't overtake them in 10 games time because we'd still be say at least four points behind them. It's not really about what we do. It's about what Leicester are not going to do. They're not going to suddenly be as shit as Preston.

But surely that supports my point not yours? We're on a historical record breaking run, nine home wins on the spin and we are STILL not top 2. Because we fucked ourselves in September and lost momentum and gave ourselves too much to do. Ipswich are on a dogshit run of one win in six or whatever it is and they ARE still top 2. For Leicester to smash 90 points they don't even have to try to be Leicester for the rest of the season, they can bimble about being Norwich or Preston and they will still do it. To overtake Leicester we need to carry this run going for the entirety of the season. Fine if we do it and Leicester completely fuck it see you in May and you can gloat then.

No. Leicester are going break all the records, they are finishing top. We're keeping pace with normal top 2 standard and still nowhere near them. We need Leicester to do Ipswich a soul destroying 4-0.

Really shows that Leicester are the anomaly this season - Us and Ipswich have very similar points to Burnley and Sheff United achieved last year.

Correct - as part of his own learning process, Russell Martin tweaked and evolved his approach, the style of play is different, and we're playing much better now then before. Because we are a bit more direct and a bit more clinical. Russell Martin himself has developed a lot in six months, from a manager who has only ever delivered 10th place nothingness he is on the verge of the first top 6 (minimum) of his entire career. Occam's razor indeed.

Yorkshire Pudding? Yorkshire quivering fucking wreck in a pool of its own piss, more like.

Yep, winning team. Bring it on.

Probably already mentioned but if not - we win today and we are second place at 5pm. That, far more than the record, is the prize. Come on you Saints

If you are reading that into that anodyne sentence then I think you can read that into anything Russell Martin says about the window all month. I've no doubt we have missed out on targets, but that's just us and every football club in every transfer window for all time.

The role of Director of Public Prosecution is expected to be an omnipresent all knowing super human capable of detecting and resolving all crimes and righting all miscarriages of justice. He's at the top you see so he's accountable for everything that ever happens or didn't happen with criminal cases. Well, not now, he doesn't need to be that now. Or before 2008, he didn't need to be that then either. But between 2008-2013 he definitely did need to be that. Before and after those two points no one gives a flying fuck about what any Director of Public Prosecution ever did.

Jesus wept.

Well, I took the clickbait you laid so more fool me. Everyone else ignore, just rehashed reworded nothing we don't already know.

Kier Starmer has some big questions to answer about why he didn't do anything about this at the time.
