Lee On Solent Saint

Remember the West Ham one, think Futre wound him up big time by taking the piss by just going past him a few times like he wasn't there. Another one when he didn't even look at the ref before walking off.

Didn't they have a lot of players that were still in the RN at that time though based down there? Not sure how it worked back in those after war days.

So Jones and Selles weren't contributing factors either?

Absolutely. So what if we end up in the play offs. Pressure will be on whoever who end up facing, not just us. Hull and West Brom are beatable, even Ipswich aren't Real Madrid. I'd wager Norwich would be a tougher game. Over two games, I'd fancy us to beat anyone. Then the final, what's not to love?

Loved Ralph. His passion before he was worn down was great.

I can't stand Leeds, but some of these challenges Millwall are putting in are pretty nasty. Pretty much the same gameplay they employed against us.

Biggest thing I'm not looking forward to is all the local media coverage. South Today and Meridan, or whatever it is called these days will be awash with victory parades and open top bus tours. Have endless days of how a sleeping giant is working itself back to the big time.

Thanks. I will.

City of Southampton fucked up? It was a fire in a building, am sure you can blame the city for lots of things, but not sure if starting fires is on the list. How do you know both clubs mutually agreed to the date? I thought we wanted it played this week but Preston disagreed. Doesn't sound very mutual to me

Because the game should be played at the earliest opportunity. If they are that bothered about fans making the trip down, give the fans who had tickets for the original fixture free travel.

And Preston didn't want to play this midweek. Which I think is pretty poor. They should be made to play it at the earliest opportunity

Not sure I agree with that, I expected us to be challenging right from the off. As we should have been given the quality in the squad. Only surprise is Ipswich, thought they would have dropped off long ago. Not sure if they have been just lucky with injuries and suspensions.

Fair play to him. Bet he's glad we didn't free him to go to Burnley

That's kinda the point. Even when Bournemouth play shite he never acknowledges it. At least Tessem calls us out when we are shit.

It was always going to happen that the three relegated sides would be the strongest. Our unfortunate luck was to come down with them.

Pretty shoddy really.

Rothwell coming on was Martin rolling the dice. Nothing more. To say it was the result of some tactical genius is utter bollocks.

Agreed

Smacking? We had to rely on the bench again to dig us out of trouble against an awful Sunderland side.

I like the guy, liked him as a player too. He's a lot better than the Bournemouth guy on Solent, John Williams.

Definitely playing those blue fuckers from down the road next season

Better form a queue now

Pathetic

Fuck me. Why do we do this?

They sacked Tony Mowbray
