Lee On Solent Saint

No question KWP. Best piece of transfer business we have done in a long while.

Am not sure it really matters from an England perspective what club JWP is at. It's not as if Southgate doesn't know what he is all about.

To be honest, that probably says more about the lack of quality English keepers than it does of Johnstone's ability.

Aren't they restricted to what they can spend though due to FFP?

Wouldn't be so sure. Most of that squad are Billy Big Bollocks,so can't see them wanting to stick around in the Championship,especially with the World Cup scheduled for the winter.

Think it has been mentioned on here previously about the vacancy with the Austrian national team. Maybe Ralpg fancies that gig.

Agreed. If the benchmark for a midfielder this season is Rice and Philips, JWP for me as got to be close to that. Scores far more than those two, even if they are both stronger players than he his.

Would take Origi. Way out of our price range for wages though

Like to see A Armstrong on now, think we aren't going to get much more out of Long.

Fuck!! where would we be without JWP this season!!

Agreed. If we posed a threat from they fair enough, but we don't whatsoever.

Pathetic display, our centre backs must be the only ones in the league that can make Welbeck look like fuckin Messi

Because Ralph is all powering, and nobody is allowed to question him whatsoever

This long throw thing is a crock of shit. Really need to stop it.

Seriously, which other team would have one of the best right backs in the league, playing as a left back?

We are so weak it's bordering on funny now

Big game for Tella. He needs to make his mark for me sooner or later. Bit like Smallbone,not sure he can make the step up either.

Agree with that. Redmond over Elyounoussi for me all day long.

Think the rivalry is there on all levels whether you like football or not. I work just outside Fareham and even people that aren't interested in football at the office hate Southampton,if they come from the PO zone.

Can you imagine the media wank fest if they did? Would be horrific

This is what annoys me about the FA Cup. The FA want it to be taken seriously and still be relevant, yet it isn't the showpiece event at the end of the season anymore, and we have those fuckin stupid midweek games for the 5th round.

To be fair,they probably would have snapped yout hand off if offered a point before the game

Was Stephens injured? Not sure what it signals for him when you play a back three and a converted right back and a guy playing his first game since January get in ahead of you?

Yes we can do better, whether the club can afford to do better is another matter.

Agreed. We rode our luck at times, but has proved we can be dogged and not let the opposition have such an easy match.
