I guess the Newcastle game just got a bit harder with Benitez being appointed, just on the basis of 'new manager syndrome' ! Hey ho, we are safe anyway but it would be nice to get a few more points on the board !

In this day and age it is surely not beyond the wit of man to resurrect this ! Solid, high quality barriers per row, strict control on numbers, copy the successful German model is all that is required ! Plusses would be a) increased capacity b) better atmosphere c) lower prices. The only thing holding it back is politics as nobody wants to be associated with previous disasters but for me that is nonsense ! Bring it on....

Bet he scores !

Well peed off, in Cape Town, every other PL match live on TV apart from ours ! Streams non existent so have to suffer this thread plus live score.com ! Grrrr...

TBF, still equal top 22 points behind the leaders Oh, and 11 points from the play-off places !

In the sunshine in Cape Town anticipating the live match on TV COYS

Reckon he'll go to a 'massive' club which represents his ancestral home ! Price could be a slight problem but surely he will end up at Pompey

I met a Skate on the Isle of Wight once, was a long time ago, mind

Can't believe we've got this far and nobody has mentioned the spelling of kangaroo:)

Yeah, then roll on August and you can start the same old bollarks all over again ! We're all looking forward to it, no doubt

The revoltingest

Wanyama is a very effective footballer for us, if he were to improve his range of passing he would be worth a fortune ! The fact that he wants away clearly does not endear him to the faithful (understandably) but that does not diminish his ability ! His disciplinary record is poor but he is more reckless than malicious and IMO his size and stature make him stand out more than most and opposition players often exploit this ! For those suggesting we should get rid of him cheaply, I would say "be careful what you wish for" as he will certainly not be so easy to replace !!

They showed the incident in slow motion a few times on Sky and whilst I agree that it was clumsy, his foot missed the ball by only a fraction, Payet rode the tackle and then clutched his leg as if mortally wounded ! Redknapp emphasised the point that the WHU players influenced the ref who reached for yellow then changed his mind ! If that merits a 5 match ban, then sorry but I consider it to be grossly excessive ! My glasses may be rose tinted but I reckon that I'm not alone in complaining about this decision !

Even Bilic just said that there was no contact although he considered that Vic was 'out of control' !

Watch the red card incident closely and you will clearly see the Wanyama had his eyes only on the ball, missed it by a fraction and did not actually make direct contact with Payet (he made a huge meal out of it) and Clattenberg changed his mind based on the WHU players reactions ! If Vic gets a 5 match ban for that, then it is all out of proportion ! The Byram yellow was much more dangerous and the Valencia one not far behind !

Red my arse ! Clattenburg does us again

Yoshida !

If Accrington get a point from one of their 2 games in hand then the Skates will drop out of the play-off places ! Mind you, from their own (deluded) perspective, they are equal top, 16 points behind Northampton

Oh dear, 'ow sad, never mind

Leicester City = a breath of fresh air ! Gives hope to Saints and similar non 'top teams ' Good on them !

He deserves a prize, at least :)

Don't worry, a couple of defeats in Feb and they'll be calling for his head again T0ssers !

Still showing as Monday 8pm on the Saints official website !

I guess that there is a difference between 'paid in full' and 'all debts settled' but as long as all parties agreed to the deal (it didn't go to court, so we must assume that this was the case) then it is actually fair and equitable and certainly totally different to a CVA ! Had we used the Skate approach, the creditors would have been well f#cked, so whatever the actual details, we don't need any lectures from the fishy few !!
