Lubbly Jubbly ! Next 3 games look dodgy but the run in with the Cherries, Seagulls and Blades should yield some points ! My prediction is that we'll end on 47 !

Absolutely, we have as much chance of getting Harry Kane as we have Harry Winks, I sometimes wonder if guys on here follow football at all !!

It was a Muslim who murdered 3 gay guys so you could class it as either homophobic or terrorist, either way it's a horrible crime and needs to be called out...

That's what I was alluding to, can see it coming as soon as the internationals start again ! Ps. The Pep Guardiola yellow ribbon was a national decision !

When England played Scotland on the 11th November, they both wanted to have poppies on shirts but FIFA said no ! After a big hoohaa they were allowed to wear armbands ! Pep Guardiola was fined for showing support to his native Catalonia as he perceived that they were being oppressed (racist ?). BLM (no matter the merits of it) has been treated differently and does set a precedent which will be hard to ignore when other causes come calling ! I predict some choppy times for the authorities in the near future because either you have a blanket ban on political statements or you don't !!

A solid performance and important result but the Arsenal game will be a better barometer ! I actually quite like the crowd noise channel but found the no noise one to be soulless ! Will be interesting to see how the other broadcasters do it but fair play to Sky, they did a pretty good job except for the 'in house' experts who were only there for the Man U game later and showed little respect by not having Saints and Norwich pundits at all !

They'll still have so many of this years kit in stock that they might as well let it run for another season ! Yes, it's totally crap, probably not have a new sponsor but if grounds are closed until the end of the year or beyond, nobody will want one anyway ! Pointless exercise !!

Don't tell me they're closing the toilets as well ?? :)

Well said Ant and like Dark Munster, I wish you well ! I live on the IoW and have signed up to the track, trace & test app which I really hope gives positive feedback that can be rolled out nationally ! There are some reservations naturally but I'm sure that it can be tweaked as we go along, then it should at least contain the situation until a vaccine eventually becomes available ! In the meantime I support a measured easing of the lockdown, in particular the anomalies which exist whereby the likes of B&Q can sell garden products but nurseries /market traders cannot (there are many other examples right across the business spectrum) !!

I understand that the Skate players were tested because they had played Arsenal just after they played Olympiakos where there was a known problem (and Arteta got it as well) ! Totally agree that health workers should get absolute priority and fail to see where the testing kits came from for the footballers !!

Being out in the fresh air is not a problem as long as you keep your distance from passers by, in fact pretty much all golf courses are open subject to distancing rules, not touching flags etc.. (clubhouse facilities are off limits thought). IMHO sitting on your arse in front of the telly is no substitute for a bit of exercise and this applies to oldies as much as anyone !

I ventured out this afternoon to the dump expecting it to be empty ! Surprisingly the queue was much longer than normal but I patiently waited only to find that there was 3 car spacing and it took fecking ages Anyway, it was a day out and made me forget that normally there would have been a live match on the telly, grrr.....

They are now 4 down (another one tested positive) - karma ?? Ps. this is only a flippant comment, no deep offence intended !!

I am now 'self isolating' as we have just returned from Sth Africa on a 12 hour flight with about 450 others (God knows if anyone on board was infected and strangely none of the BA cabin crew wore gloves or masks!). It is clearly the responsible thing to do although I will no doubt be bored sh!tless very soon (I only ever used to watch sport on the telly and that's all gone...) ! I have a big garden which I can tend although it's not my passion and as I live right by the sea I can do power walks along the front as long as I dodge the old biddies/farts with their dogs on the way ! Good luck to you all ! Happy days, eh......

PMSL

We miss him an it’s no coincidence that results have suffered IMHO. He runs defences ragged, leaving space for others, particularly Ings ! Would be up for it against one of his old teams too !

We have approx 20k ST holders (I’m guessing) and most of them will attend even if only to get their money’s worth ! Mugs like me pay for 19 games and only ever get to about 13/14 max (spend part of the winter in sunny climes)! So a lot more than 1 or 2 in reality !!

Always look on the bright side, eh

No handshakes but we had a huddle- bizarre !!

Any chance we’ll get face masks in Saints colours ?? Would be a great marketing first and bring much needed business to a Chinese factory !! :)

What about the players ? All sweaty, physical contact, blood injuries, hugging when they score and the worst of all - spitting!! Surely there is as much danger to them as there is to the crowd ??

2 down to Arsenal reserves which is obviously irrelevant as the phew are still grunting along in an animal fashion

Maybe his value will increase by a few pence now ?? :)

44 secs before Tony Gale mentioned the Leicester drubbing !

With a bit of luck his tardis is lost somewhere back in time never to return again....
