The level of incompetence of the Leicester game was so bad it looked like corruption, not on the same scale at Wolves but still raises questions, can they really be that bad?

Rasmus going to appoint the first AI manager?

There's always the relegation bounce, often seen once a teams relegation is confirmed they start playing with the pressure off and pull off a couple of surprise results

They've both been figured out

Pep will be out of a job soon

We're down mate, going to be a tough sell to get a decent manager to take on this project

I'd take Mark Robins

This is true, keep sacking the managers but need to look at who is appointing them

Trust the process Just a matter of time until it clicks

First half we weren't too bad, I thought unlucky with disallowed goal, BUT not good enough and I'm afraid he does have to go, 71% and no shots on target ffs

We won the real quiz.

Still impressed with numbers considering performance so far this season, every away game full allocation sold out. Every home game been sold out weeks in advance.

I do find that odd, considering tickets made it to members it's not like they are that difficult to get and as long as you've done a few aways as a season ticket holder you're pretty much guaranteed for any away game you want to go to except for Bournemouth which we've already had so can't see the incentive to go to the hassle of buying just to sell on

Know you're joking but he's usually away with u21s anyway

KWP deserves a call up as well in my opinion

He's still young for a CB so nice recognition for the lad, adds a few £££ to his value as well , sports Republic will be pleased.

Should have been £20 season ticket holders and members, then £30 for others https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/24706653.southampton-fans-disappointed-carabao-cup-ticket-prices/?ref=rss

Suppose so, hopefully we sell out , just seemed a jump double the price of Stoke in the last round in a competition that devalued itself by fixing the draw to ensure big clubs made the later rounds

You never know! More likely a reenactment of the 1-6 quarter final defeat though

Date and ticket details confirmed, seem a bit high for the Carabao but it is Liverpool I suppose https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/southampton-vs-liverpool-carabao-cup-24-25

Stop being greedy, we've had our win

Still think that's likely, might depend on whether we have the Loch Ness Drogba back to fitness by then Tall Paul is becoming a cult hero though, gets a great reception from the fans when warming up along the touchline

Fair play to you chaps, would have been me few years ago but I'd opt for the 08.15 now, split ticket works well on that line, early start , still one of the joys of an away day boarding a train at breakfast time seeing the look on normal passengers faces when you casually crack open a can of ale.

I can't see it lasting, fans of National league clubs gave it a big thumbs down when announced, Eastleigh even opted out of it. Just rubbed salt into the wounds after they voted to stop replays in a proper competition (the FA Cup)
