Football Special

I'll never forget the lack of effort he put in v Chelsea in the FA Cup semi final, always had potential but never seemed to have the right attitude when a Saints player Will be man of the match for sure.

I knew our record v Wolves was bad recently but it's even worse than I realised, bogey team that even managed to beat us with 10 men against Nathan Jones side Some opposition thoughts https://www.wolvesforum.co.uk/threads/southampton-h-9-11-build-up-match-thread.38659/

That's right, sold out at "season ticket holder additional " stage and not made general

To balance that I thought they looked good and were unlucky to lose against Man City.

Always a ground we seem to struggle at , last visit was Che Adams finest moment?!

As futile as it is, I think I'd take that

I notice Chelsea at home goes on open general sale this morning, think that might be the first time this season a game has made it to this stage for non-members to buy. Seems a bit short-sighted by the club to not restrict it to purchase history as there's loads of Hampshire based Chelsea who could end up in the home end. Just a heads up if any non-members were looking to buy https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/southampton-vs-chelsea-24-25

Yep had that edge back, turn of pace and can carry the ball, wish he'd sign that contract extension, top player

Completely agree, probably not surprising when people on here during the game don't have the outlet of shouting or singing to release, thought it was good in the ground generally today, mostly positive around me and made a decent noise at times, nice seeing Martin finally getting to approach THE WALL for a final whistle celebration https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15Az6HJaht/

Next week we play away to Winless Wolves, huge pressure on them to beat us, expect they will but an interesting game, having beaten Stoke and Everton this week there will be a positive vibe around the club

He's a great keeper and seems a top bloke as well, pleased we have him

The Great Escape is ON UP THE SAINTS

I don't think he says anything particularly bad , remember context of answers depends on question he's received , trying to remain positive https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/24694299.every-word-southamptons-martin-said-ahead-facing-everton/

Think it was that game and the thought of Millwall on a European tour that lead them to scraping European qualification for FA Cup losing finalists where the winning side had already qualified via the league.

You'd hope so, just before Christmas, I can't see huge demand considering our bad form, expect the real winners will be the half and half scarf sellers.

That was an awful night, in fact still have PTSD from both 1/4 finals Koeman got to in this comp, Spurs at home the Sunday night before so this will be Wednesday 18th Dec

There's been plenty of others, Wigan, Birmingham both won cups and relegated in same year then played in Europe as championship club

I wonder what Dyche makes of Martin's possession obsession philosophy?

Last couple of mins at Man City there was a decent cross to him at the back post. Would love Tall Paul to get on the score sheet, will it ever happen?

Do we have scouts? Bet it's all based on data, no one actually watching them play

He's excited this gives us another chance to draw Man City, exhibit his philosophy and bathe in the compliments of Pep

"Smile lads, you're now one of the top 8 teams in the country*" *in the carabao cup

You and I both know that we struggled, however the stats say 78% possession which looks like complete domination

I'm sensing not too much excitement for tonight's draw?

I like James Bree, hard working player, joined us from Luton at the request of Nathan Jones which obviously didn't turn out to be such a great move for him but he gets his head down and never complains, has shown he can do a job for us when given a chance Cornet on the other hand reminded me of Ali Dia
