Football Special

Fair point, our equivalent would rob the keeper of the ball then turn back and pass it around our centre backs for a bit

For those of us who don't really understand the finances, has he actually invested his money into the club or is he a creditor that the club needs to repay at some point?

Their AFCON player was knocked out last night so technically could be back in time for Saturday which is good news for us if it means the coach driver doesn't get a game

I believe when police held the meeting with both sets of fans and the clubs that it was agreed alcohol would be served , we certainly did for them so I'd be surprised if it's any different for us

The old bill get the best of both worlds, loads of overtime and easiest shift they'll ever do. Will be itching for someone to step out of line for an easy nicking to justify their match expenses

I'm never sure about these sort of games, not a testimonial as such but will be a good reminder of some of the players we got to see in recent history. First players to be involved now announced, who else are we hoping to see?

I've seen a correlation recently, the more players the opposition are "missing" the more likely it is for them to win, Millwall were down to their bare bones with the team kit man and coach driver on the bench etc

FAB is a club orchestrated stitch up, they selected certain people to basically agree with them but make it look like a "fan lead" decision process. Can see right through it

I can see the commercial plan from the club, collect 2700 away fans for an hour and sell them as much as possible before loading them onto buses, then fill the fan zones with supporters who want to watch it at St Mary's! https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/derby-day-your-way-at-st-marys?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=tic-portsmouth-a-2526&utm_term=last-chance&utm_content=link&fbclid=IwdGRjcAPURsJleHRuA2FlbQEwAGFkaWQBqy0nVyAqG3NydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHpDz8riXGMKF-exE29a0_gh11270Bj4bBNxtShlW0RASis0t43NrTJ7Ibvy9_aem_pJxqIh7klq0MxQRyDjiNog&utm_id=120238342604980299 This made me laugh: Northam Fan Zone and The Dell In partnership with Asahi 0.0% and Pukka, we’re bringing the buzz of an away matchday to the Northam Fan Zone.

@TotalSaintsPod you need to invite Fabrice on for a 5 min slot on the next podcast , give the man some answers

Our scouts didn't watch him did they Always annoyed me the Skates called him Agent Bazunu every time he made a mistake for us, probably didn't help him

I miss him already 😢

https://not606.com/threads/southampton-v-hull-city.421852/post-18887767 "If we’re going up we need to win these sort of games. They have some good players but they’re a **** team. As long as we turn up and actually put a performance in we should have too much for them." A fair post by a Hull fan but really emphasises SR's failings in building a competitive "team"

It's possible but struggling to find a less interesting tie , perhaps Norwich v WBA , our game would get zero neutral viewers

We're away on 28th Feb to Sheffield Wednesday But point being so many home games will dilute how much people are prepared to spend on a Cup game and as @Hatch pointed out it's Valentines day and they have other activities planned with loved ones

I'm sure you are right, and a crowd of only 13-14k February has 4 home games in 18 days now, that's a tough sell 7th Feb - Watford (home) 14th Feb - Leicester (home FA) 21st Feb - Charlton (home) 24th Feb - QPR (home Tues night) The question everyone wants to know is will we wear our limited edition kit?!!

Bart letting one through his legs wasn't it? Those were the days, home games had a feelgood factor

Incredibly boring draw , hope the club are sensible and do £10 adults £1 kids and give it a chance of being a decent size crowd Leicester only brought 600 down in the league , they won't fancy the trip

Don't forget to book your breakfast buffet at The Dell 🤣

I like Jander and Bragg, but that's a very young central midfield, feel we need an experienced head in there at times

No Saturday 14th Feb (or weekend of) , replaces Leicester away in schedule
