Time to fake a bout of covid and get this shit called off.

Very happy with our team, outstanding. And pretty happy with theirs. And if it doesn't go to plan, they have three new signings that wouldn't have played 2/1/22 so my excuses are sorted! Tink. We got this. Up the Saints

You don't have to be gay to be thrown off a building......you try building a footall stadium! lol But in all seriousness, keep politics away from football. Its a mess at the moment. Silence, clapping, kneeling, whatever next. Bin it all off.

Yeah, Shearer's return to Toon should have been a nice story. But he always came across as a bit of a twat. Even when Fergie approached him, he didn't handle the situation well. Its great to be determined & single minded, but always spare a thought for the path you travel. One day, you might have to retrace your steps.

Only Shane Long. I'll tell him the bad news........ lol

"It is strange to concentrate on a game you should have played two months ago, against a completely different team. It is how it is. This doesn't impact us; we are also better than two months ago and are ready for the challenge. Nicely put Ralph. We need to win this game to right their wrongs. And reap their salty tears. Nothing more.

We need Salisu back, then we need to work out where to get the yellow card that takes him to ten. I imagine that will be the first 20 minutes of whenever he plays. Boy sure does like a card.

I don't understand the Howe obsession. Sure, it was more fun when he was at Bompey, but he's pretty inoffensive. He's earned his licks. He got absolutely destroyed at Burnley, went back, did well (for a bit), and got a opportunity at a bigger club. Me wanting Newcastle to get relegated this season was more about the effect they will have on the transfer market over the coming seasons. They will cause big trouble for clubs like Southampton. Add to that the owners that they managed to trawl up, and the new found arrogance of their fanbase, and I'd say Eddie Howe is one of the least annoying things about that club. They are safe, thanks to the incredible run they are on. But I hope we beat they just because of the bullshit they pulled with Covid in January. People will remember that, for years to come. They manipulated the rules and took advantage of a crisis. A scummy thing to do.......but it worked.

If they are relegated, I say we send back Theo Walcott.

Just looking at the fixtures to see if this benefits us much, but there's enough gap inbetween that we won't get any significant advantage. But what I did notice is how Londoncentric the end of the season is for us. Might as well hire out a Travel Lodge and be done with it! lol

I'm looking forward to ref watch this morning. Should Ralph be bombing down the touchline to stop the opposition taking a throw in, or quickly retrieving the ball to set up a fast break...... Think carefully now Dermot, this is not a 90 second water break when a player is down injured.

He's been a great owner for them. Created the most successful 20 years in their history. He's Russian, but he didn't start the war. Let them sing a song.

And add to that the obligatory defibrillator related crowd medical emergency. Strange times, strange times indeed.

If Salisu isn't fit by Thursday, I'll be furious if the club don't fake a C19 outbreak. FURIOUS

Yeah, me too. It felt like a defeat. It was a dreadful performance. I only really remember the end because Virgils goal kept our european home unbeaten run alive.

It was a dreadful game, but we didn't lose. VvD scored a last minute goal, but a score draw was not enough to see us through. Again, a dreadful game.

Make nine changes. Rest key players. Pick up more in injuries than ever. Frustrating.

They are playing their 2nd string. Winnable. Not preferable....

I reckon we'll get away to Everton. Wouldn't be unhappy with that.

4-2 like the paper aeroplanes game. I enjoyed that day. They were in absolute turmoil. How we allowed it to be 3-2 before Mane scored I'll never understand. We've got a pretty good record there. And I think we'll come away with three points on Sat. A 2-1. With them getting a late goal, probably a 40 yarder from Pip.

I'd take ET and pens right now......just putting it out there!

Jesus. That team. Wow. Shades of Sheffield and Sunderland. As I cling to hope all I can think is Nigel saying; 'Hard work beats talent.....' Over and over again. You fuckers better work hard tonight~! uts

Yep. Here's an example. I was happy we gave Long the sentimental extension. I thought he'd done enough to earn it. Saying that, his goal against Everton was about £5m worth of enjoyment!

.....................And Burnley. Don't forget them plucky fellows!

I've watched quite a bit of Leeds recently. This new guy isn't going to turn that bunch into the into anything special, they just won't be shipping 3/4 each week. They'll survive, but only because of Brentfords generosity.
