Anyone got any top tips on how to get back to town quicky after the match? Options as far as I can tell are 1) train from Kirkdale to Moorfields (will that be mega busy/impossible to get on?); 2) bus (no idea where from); 3) walk/flag a taxi

Lemina (Mario Jnr?) just put Wolves ahead v Newcastle.

Desperate to be just like us. Losing 3-0 at home on live TV to remain lingering in the relegation zone.

Forgot that it's harder to play after being awarded a penalty. Bit like the opposition going down to 10 men. Ref's have definitely got it in for us this season.

Utd sense blood. This'll be 3-0 before half time.

That's what you're concerned about? He has three book shelves, but only enough books to fill one of them. But you're concerned about his clothing? Get your priorities straight.

This actually vaguely entertaining by England standards.

People who drive sports cars with red seat belts. Just have grey seat belts like the rest of us you cocks.

That's what I thought based on Google. But when the draw was first made it was suggested the following week. I'm hoping it is the 17th so that I can actually go though... https://x.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1828912373962355111?t=2JleIZOBtp1Nd0sRUbndCg&s=19

Anyone know when the date for this is likely to be confirmed?

Same can't be said of Ticketmaster this morning.

The Welsh TV channel?

Did his ACL earlier in the day. Russ says he should be fit in a couple of weeks though.

How good is the Cardiff team? Are they full-ish strength or made quite a few changes too?

Apparently it's been 20 years today since Beattie did this v Chelsea. Got me thinking, have any other teams in the PL ever scored with their very first touch of the game? https://x.com/FootballRemind/status/1828688652295094306?t=jv1FcT5rCIMAtvRsLQYHcw&s=19

But as Sky's main game. Think they've selected Birmingham v Fulham...🫤 Think most games are streamed by Sky in the cup but guessing may be no commentary if anything like last season.

Shame that's not televised (is it?). Nice little local derby that doesn't get played very often...

MLG and Turkish?

I know that's the cool thing to say, but not, it wasn't. It was utterly wank when they did that. MoTD really isn't that bad. You only have to compare it to the coverage of the EFL or foreign coverage of the PL (or TNT Sports) to know that.

Doubt he's got the legs anymore, but if Lallana is deemed good enough, I guess he could be too...

Reading the Arsenal forums, they're not exactly going to be disappointed to see him go. Panicky with the ball at his feet and costly errors seem to be the main theme of the comments. I know they probably have higher standards than Saints fans, but has that familiar Saints goalkeeping feeling....go to be better than current options though (surely?!?!).

Don't worry folks, we've got strict biosecurity measures to prevent spread of any diseases in the grass at the training ground... https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-7cSlcsTvC/?igsh=MXkxbnhhcTF4ZjA0MA==

For what it's worth, I sat in the home end with the Geordie's on Saturday, directly opposite end of the pitch to the Saints fans (before anyone moans, I was offered a free ticket by friend who's an ST there). I hate to confess, but from where I was I didn't hear a peep from Saints fans, apart from one round on OWTS early in the game. The red card ramped up the atmosphere big time with the home fans and I hate to say it l, was pretty deafening compared with a typical atmosphere at SMS. Geordies do seem more passionate about their football than southerners on average - don't be offended by that. I think it's partly a combination of their new found hope following the sports washing takeover, combined with the fact that life is so grim up there that football is all many people have up there... Having said that, the friend I was with said it was pretty uncommon to hear the away fans due to their ridiculous position within the stadium, so don't think it's a particular reflection on our support. The sound just gets lost that high up. I'm assuming if I was sat a bit closer I might have heard more. As an aside, my other reflection is that northerners are thick as pig shit and couldn't see to tell the difference between Bereton-Diaz and Sam Edozie...
