Saint Garrett

How does he get in the Argentina squad?! Mad

23 players I believe + youth.

At least they haven't sold tickets before moving this one...! Moved from Semi Final weekend to Thursday 19th April.

Thought we had more like 23,000/24,000 STH's?

Sunday 3pm

Pretty weak isn't it, certainly think we have a better team. Should be able to score atleaast one, more about whether we can keep it tight at the other end. I'm going 1-2 Saints.

Yeah still shows on the OS as having 23...would be very odd to send them back given the fact we always sell out there....?!

Stephens, despite being a very likeable chap, just isnt good enough to be playing Premier League football yet.

Yeah - flare lobbed from their fans, and hit one of their own fans. Stewards then went to find the bloke who lobbed it and a few scuffles between them and their fans. We walked back into the centre after the game and didn't see any trouble whatsoever - barely saw any people it was like a ghost town!

This is when it becomes a problem when you go to games using other peoples ST's all season...!

We certainly need a dominant CB to play alongside Hoedt. And if Bertrand goes, we need another LB. and we need to sort out what we're doing in the striker positions. I don't expect everyone to go, but can certainly see a few being replaced. McCarthy Cedric NEW Hoedt NEW Hojbjerg Lemina NEW Boufal NEW NEW

Completely agree, 1 up front can be more attacking than 2 up front if you get players playing in the right spaces - look at how we played under Pochettino. Just helped we had Lambert, Lallana and J Rod all on fire and they linked brilliantly. We were incredibly poor in that first half, second much better. I think I'd prefer Boufal to be given a free role behind Gabbi, with Redmond & Tadic/JWP either side.

Yep seriously cold and ****ing down with snow in Manc. Should be a decent night thogh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Literally never even gave it a thought. They play Thursday surely it doesn't matter whether they play Sunday or Monday...?!

Been moved back to Sunday 2:15 from Monday 8pm... Annoying having already got tickets...busy on the Sunday https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-03-16/arsenal-southampton-fixture-moved-to-sunday-premier-league

Has been obvious too how unfit the players are too....

Yeah remember there being a bit of trouble, went to a strange chain pub by the canal last time, with a barmaid with superb....eyes. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Buzzing for this now, sold loads of tickets, new ground for a lot of fans, and feels like we've lost a cloud of negativity with Pellegrino gone. Players will want to impress and put in a performance after last weeks shambles. Assuming Gabbiadini gets a boost, I'd be tempted to start him over Carrillo...get some players around him though.

Chose Manchester instead! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Is that not more because the national side produced a lot of very good players at the same time, which he didn't have to coach/keep fit? I think he's a very likeable bloke, and I think he is a really good pundit, but nothing in his managerial career would suggest to be he's a particularly good manager, certainly not in the Premier League.

But appointing Puel & Pellegrino was?

Bilic? No idea why. He doesn't know how to defend, and he turned his West Ham side into the un-fittest and tactically inept team in the league...!

Would you be happy / not happy? I think he'd give the players a kick up the arse, and could potentially do a decent job with the right recruitment in the summer assuming we stay up. Plays decent football, and is a "winner". I'd be relatively happy... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/03/13/mark-hughes-favourite-southampton-job-aftermauricio-pellegrino/

Got no problem with Hughes, given the position we are in. I don't think there are many better options out there, that would come to us right now.

Updated after the weekend. West Ham being dragged into it with some difficult fixtures coming. If we can go there and get a win in a few weeks, then will put the pressure on them big time...! We look doomed, but with a new manager coming in, it hopefully will give us a boost. Newcastle looking largely safe now. WBA look doomed.
