Saint Keef

Shit. I'm sad to see him go. Who's going to replace him in the Bambi on Ice pantomime this Christmas. Can someone drive him to Anderlecht, just in case he gets lost and ends up back here.

I know Whelk mentioned this previously. I think McCoist is a really good co-commentator. I was never a fan of his in years gone by, but he talks a lot of sense and puts it across in an entertaining way. Sky would do well to give him a contract and replace Mr "Depressing" Hinchcliffe and Mr "Jabbermouth" Carragher. Not sure about the woman co-commenting on ITV the other night though. I don't know who she was but she had the most boring voice and seemed to have all the personality of a multi-story car park. And I think another Whelk comment I have to agree with (sorry, I can't find the quotes). The referees in this tournament have been a breath of fresh air and are really showing up the clowns that we have in the Premier League. They are allowing games to flow, not stopping the game every time a player touches an opponent, by and large they are confident in their decisions and stick with them. VAR is all but invisible, but has certainly been used correctly for a couple of correct offside decisions.

That's going to ruin Jack Grealish's game plan then.

What do Wikipedia know that we don't? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romain_Perraud Does that make me ITK? (Hahahaha) (Just seen that Wiki has changed again - it was showing that he is left back for Southampton FC - it has reverted to his own club so apologies as this message now makes no sense at all and my ITK status is in tatters!!!🤣)

Looks a reasonable replacement for Shane Long tbh.

I don't think I could ever support Scotland but good luck to Stuey. Our best player this season and thoroughly deserves this. Hope Che gets some minutes as well. Che seems like very much a confidence player and if he were to bang a couple in for Scotland in this tournament it could make a big difference for us next season.

Wesley Hoedt. He can't be any worse in goal than he is as an outfield player.

"Butch and Sundance and Whitey" doesn't have the same ring about it though 😀

If he's as good as KWP we will have done very well. KWP was "streets" ahead of Bertie last season (I'm not saying Bertie wasn't a very good servant, but his energy levels seemed to dip dramatically over the past 2 seasons.....or so it appeared to me anyway)

Grealish is undoubtedly a very talented player but I genuinely find his diving an embarrassment (when in an England shirt). I hope when the Euros start there isn't a gentle breeze, or he'll spend all his time on the ground. I'm sure he'd get knocked over by a sudden gust of pollen! If for any reason he pulls out of the squad, get Tom Daley in as a replacement. I wouldn't care if he were to score the winner in a Euros final (fat chance of us being there anyway), in my eyes he would still be a grade one wanker. If he did move to City, I have a feeling Pep would put a stop to it. (Just to keep it "on Saints" topic) He was diving 2 years ago when playing Saints at St Mary's and his diving was the main topic of conversation on the concourse at half-time. I do hope the Euro refs find him out.....and if so, lets see if he stays on his feet more.

Only my opinion, but if Spurs get £150m for Kane, then every player they try to sign, they will suddenly find the price has gone up, simply because the selling clubs will know they have the money to spend and that they will be desperate to sign someone "decent" to replace Kane.

Only in the "rumour" and "Gossip" bit of BBCSport I know, but Everton may consider Stevie Gerrard as a replacement for Ancelotti. Really? I bet the Dug Out fans would welcome him with open arms. Am I the only one who thinks this would never happen in a million years?

If he'd put that early chance away in the West Ham game, I bet the feeling on here (not everyone, but quite a few) would have been completely different.......but the fact is, he didn't put it away. When you look at Willock and Lingard, those loans were brilliant (Willock probably saved Newcastle from going down......haha especially as Fulham were on such a dynamic run.......not!..... and Lingard's contribution probably got WHU into Europe). Unfortunately Min has had nowhere near the impact of those two. I saw moments of promise, but for me, not enough. But then, if he'd been as brilliant as Willock and Lingard, Liverpool would have taken him back or raised his price beyond our means......so I guess it's a "no win" situation.

Based upon our first half of the season I would have said NO! Based upon our second half of the season I would say YES.

That'll be Danny Ings' replacement sorted then.

Not sure about "blue" sky Whitey. We don't want that lot down the road claiming the sky supports them! More like all brothers and sisters under a red and white striped sky.

OK. I'm going out on an even longer limb. Everyone will love it (Haha)

Portsmouth 0 Southampton 4. !!! What? That was last last season? Really? Gosh! It still seems so fresh in the memory.

Haha. Get Whelk in the dressing room. A classic half-time team-talk. No messing about with formations, flat back fours, false number 9's, no 4 2 2 2, or 3 4 3, slipping to a 3 5 2, no flip charts on where you should stand when we have a corner, no "long ball", "play through the middle", tippy tappy bollocks........just get Whelk in there with his team talk. Job done! Well played Sir!

Nuno to Spuds? Potter to Wolves? Lampard to Brighton Just speculating......probably nothing like it. Hang on....I'm having an argument with myself to save you guys from doing it 😀

Indeed. In fact, it could have been Mike Dean who headed that winning goal for "the dippers". Now there's a story.

I need to defend Mike Dean's decision here: He probably had his head so far up his own arse, he didn't actually see the incident.

No reason why this couldn't be the first kit. Too nice to be 3rd choice.

Watching Villa and Everton. Not sure I can listen to Hinchcliffe co-commentating anymore. I've said it before, but he's doing my crust in. The man just spends 90 minutes of each game criticizing players. "He should have done this", "He should have done that", "He simply had to score there", "He should have driven that cross in and not floated it" and in the next sentence "He's driven that ball in when he should have floated it". He must have been one hell of a player in his time......although as I recall, he was an average premiership player. Every sentence he utters is a real "downer". How come Sky are so consistently bad at employing co-commentators and pundits. Surely there's better out there.

Assuming Vesti is leaving and Romeu is fit. Change to 3 at the back (I doubt if Ralph will try it). Try a 3 4 1 2 just for once. Forster Stephens Bednarek Salisu KWP JWP Romeu DJenepo (or Redmond) (or Diallo) (or Tella) (or Jankowitz) hahaha Armstrong Ings Adams
