Let’s get 6 or 7! I bloody love this league!

I wonder if they’ll get booed again at FT by those long suffering fans?

Madness!

I’d take a point TBH! Definitely high odds on at least another goal, but God knows who for!

Yeeeeeessss!

Not looking like our day despite that crazy two minutes. 😬

Bad day at the office. Surely we won't give this up without a massive fight though.

The way I see it, is is that if he's good enough to be a Premier League player, and future England international, then he'll be good enough to get us promoted (which will obviously result in us signing him). I'm assuming here that he would sign for us whether he wanted to or not!? So it's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy really.

I call it 10-0 watch, but sadly always end up disappointed. It will happen one day (hopefully not to us).

Imagine what a legend he’d be here if he helped them to a 10-0 defeat!

We’ve had dial-up here since last year thank you very much!

It’s awesome how it’s only my wife who has the potential to ruin my weekends these days!

Oh I get that, trust me. What I mean is that he was the product of our academy, but only made 22 appearance for us before moving to Arsenal where he was hardly a success and has achieved little of note since then (playing just 174 times in ~14 years). For me, he left way too early and we would all have been better off if he'd stayed a while longer. As you point out, there should certainly be no emotional "bring him home" crap and I just don't think he'd be that good.

Buggered off at the first opportunity, going on to have a pretty mediocre career at best.

The unbeaten run goes on (and on and on and on)!

I guess the main thing is to remember him in a respectful way that doesn't cause distress to anyone.

So what's the correct protocol for this? How many days of national mourning will there be? Do we wear black armbands when out in public? So many questions right now...

Cool! How much of England is there and can you bomb Fratton Park?

That goal always draws a massive smile... ... and then I think about that offside goal in the final.

I've a mate who works in the club and rumour has it that he signed on the 01st January, but those keepie uppies took over three weeks to get right.

I'm personally very glad that didn't happen. If we'd kept him I don't think we'd be enjoying the position we currently find ourselves in!

I’m with you there! Sucks to (probably) end up being third tonight, but hope still there to win this thing!

Only if you they throw in prime Le Tissier as part of the deal.

Free Benson!

I'm so pleased to see this. Never agreed with the "we can't do it" talk as where there's a will there's a way and all that. Great job Saints!
