Stephens needs to stop letting the ball bounce in front of him.

Good to see it looks like Downes will be coming back on. He's been immense in midfield

This is exactly the kind of physical side he's done so well against in a number 9 role previously.... oh wait

If we turn up the intensity in our attacking play a notch then Watford are there for the taking.

We're starting to show signs of being able to open them up.

Peretz...... eek!

If Eckert isn't careful I'll start losing my fear of the seeing the teamsheet every week. Nice to see a settled team where we know our best 11 and are playing them to their strengths. Extra bonus points if there is an Edozie cameo in it.

Wrong thread

EFL bottled it

I earned the name because when I was learning to DJ a friend described it as sounding like someone delivering a load of coal into a coal scuttle.

I used to deliver a different kind of coal.

That would be a great punishment. Every other team in the league gets to unload one player onto them that has to play at least five times. Nobody would abuse PSR ever again.

Surely the stiffest possible punishment is 6 points, Aribo for the rest of the season and Martin as their new manager for the next 3 years, no take backsies.

Getting stuffed 3-0 means he's definitely building the defensive credentials for it.

This inspired me to go find the highlights of the first ever match I attended. Still pissed off about the offside decision for Keegan's goal.

I, for one, welcome our new Canadian overlords striker

And yet Goztepe seem to be benefiting mightily from the multi club model under Rasmus' presidency. Us, not so much. I'd rather look at what people do rather than what they say. Sure Rasmus doesn't want to upset the Goztepe fans. But he's also done a great job funneling players from Saints to them. He may see them as a better option for getting to the Champions League than Southampton. They're currently sat 4th in the Super Lig with the champions and runners up going to qualification so they've got a shot at qualifying for European competition next year. Us, on the other hand....

And there's the answer to today's question - how could I despise Rasmus more?

Rasmus does need a replacement for Juan at Goztepe

Rasmus: "look how profitable I've made Goztepe since I became president"

Interesting to know. If that's the case then getting £7m is a good bit of business to remove him from the squad dynamic. If he's been harmful to the team culture I'd rather not have him there at all even if it means we're light on strikers.

I'd rather have Edozie on the wing than AA. AA doesn't win balls, doesn't beat his man and the team's pattern of play suffers when he is in the team. You want your wingers to stretch play. Yes Armstrong has 11 goals but, other than Charlton, he hasn't dictated play once this season (and then only for a half because they stood off him). Whereas Edozie is tricky enough that the other team might put two people on him as they know he is likely to have the first defender on toast. Same with Fellows and Scienza. Both of them stretch play and make space for others to play in. Armstrong will be around in the box for when the ball drops but he's dependent on other people getting the ball there for him to have a lash at it.

Are you sure you didn't get confused by his accent? He might have been saying "watching Aribo play is like being in hell"
