Football Special

Yep and they are away first leg so will have some travelling to do to Lisbon

That's a good shout, and Saints being at home this evening gives fans an opportunity to sort out their Arsenal tickets without having to make a special visit

The sun is shining bright here this morning in Southamptonshire, spring is in the air , the birds are singing and the mighty Saints are at home, must be God's way of telling me to go out early for a few pre match beverages in the sun , surely a home win to put us into a play off place* *reality it will be another WBA style game, 1-1 draw

Norwich must also be thinking if they win tonight they have a real chance of 6th. Derby / Watford- need to keep an eye on those two putting a run together

We'd still be 8 points behind Millwall but anyway getting a bit ahead of ourselves even mentioning them.

Agree by im quite upset my Bodo boys have been knocked out 😞

Up the Hornets

Yes very positive, I expect they will try not to risk him if possible and take the two week international break to allow full recovery

Yeah as others have said it has to be the same, if Arsenal wanted to go on general sale it would be £35 as well but will of course be heavily oversubscribed to their season ticket holders

A Watford win would also keep them in the play off race , big incentive for them Having said that I hear they've been showing signs they're heading for the beach last few games so perhaps they are in season wind down mode

I'm convinced we'll miss out on the play offs on the last day of the season with Derby pipping us to the last place thanks to a last minute Ben Brereton Diaz goal , the football God's will ensure it happens

They'll also be plenty of season ticket holders who won't take up their usual seat so can wait for that window to expire and see what's available then

Ouch. I miss the Wenger Out days when Arsenal cup line ups were relatively unknown and beatable

Confirmed we've given them 4,721 https://www.arsenal.com/tickets/arsenal/2026-Apr-04/southampton

Puts them right up to Kingsland Centre , makes sense but the padded seat brigade in block 31 won't be used to being on the front line Fair prices I think for season ticket holders and members £35 / £15 general sale price

First thing we need is Arsenal to get through in champions league this week. Without the distraction of an away 1/4 final in that a few days after our game we'll be stuffed

He had the scan on Thursday

He had the scan already on day after WBA I think https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/25937513.southampton-eckert-says-stewart-scienza-assessed-day-day/?fbclid=IwdGRjcAQj9UljbGNrBCP1AmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHujllfXYp1ToC2-iVYLUlQw_2TsA8sxGMtFfDqVLWgswy07zg29A3PEUH9F5_aem_39s1sFjUuT0Grh0YOmzuJg

We've had nothing to indicate that other than him going off? No comment from the club? I'm not saying he won't be but it's all guess work isn't it?

Watford have been dreadful recently, should have lost at Sheffield Wednesday, not holding much hope on that one but fingers crossed

It was incredibly soft, you see players coming together like that all over the pitch as paths cross , it didn't look like any intent to trip him

Clement is a pragmatic manager, if he thinks a low block parking the bus is the way to beat us then I expect they'll approach the game that way, especially if they have injuries (noticed someone else mentioned that, no idea how many are out) both teams also will have an eye on the following Saturday fixture a few days later in using their squads.

True, the mystery why teams don't mark him continues.....

Maybe he smells really bad?

Local lad as well isn't he despite representing Scotland? I was in Itchen Centre vs Walsall in FA Cup when he came on for what I think was his debut and had loads of his family members / friends jumping up and cheering, very nice to see.
