Good thing we'd be expanding in the Prem and not in League One then.

Oh well. Only Newcastle that affects isn't it? Although Old Trafford isn't technically pitch side, there is a small amount of home fans in front of the away section - wonder if that rule will be enforced for them.

The book Soccernomics has an excellent part on stadium expansion and proves the old adage "if you build it, they will come". If we expanded St Marys and were able to buy some of the surrounding land for development (think the area around Wembley, MK Dons stadium etc) we would absolutely draw more people in. Personally, I think it's worth adding another tier on top of the Kingsland/Northam just to shove the away fans up there and finally have the Northam just for Saints fans...

Bought him for £7million, we should be aiming for double that I reckon. £20million is unrealistic.

Well he's out of contract at the end of this season so if he performs well enough to command a decent fee he'll just be going anyway.

"Is it harsh if the crowd gives you a bad reception?". WTF are you on about, he's already come back and got applause when he came down to the Northam end Souness you sh*t stirring f*ck. He keeps saying he didn't put in a transfer request like that makes him look better - it actually doesn't. One of the reasons all of us were a bit more respectful towards him were because we thought he'd done things "the right way" by putting in an official request rather than trying to hold onto his loyalty bonus whilst asking to leave.

*So far. His first season with us fizzled out somewhat as well, lets see if the same happens here.

The fourth was straight at him.

3rd in the league with 14 games left under Koeman, I knew it was that late in the season.

Someone has to miss out...it was Clasie for the final, Hojberg for this game.

I think he may have been lucky, if you listen straight after the goal the ref gives three or four quick blasts on his whistle (I thought he'd disallowed it!) because the Watford players looked like they were about to rush the linesman to complain, so I think he was distracted keeping them in order.

Spurs at home, Arsenal in the FA cup...?

I'm not saying that's all it is, I was just making a comment mostly in reply to the post preceding mine.

I was at the Liverpool game and thought he was outstanding. When I watched it back after getting home I realised that our clean sheet that day was more down to Liverpools ineffectiveness up top than outstanding defending...

I guess Gabbis movement doesn't just create great opportunities for himself, but also creates more time and space for others to have even better chances on goal.

Shlong will still be an excellent alternative next season. Rodriguez, sadly, is done here though.

I agree, but that rarely actually happens.

Davis further forward in JWP position and Hojberg or Clasie in DM would see the midfield working even better IMO. Frustratingly the best side is probably with Davis dropped instead of JWP but we've backed ourselves into a situation where that "can't" happen now.

The cross was what, 6 or 7 yards out? He's 6 foot 8, he should be claiming those for f*cks sake.

Not his job to collect crosses in the his own 6 yard box ffs........

Caceres needs to start the next game.

Get in there Redmond! MOTM!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Poor game management. Playing too risky, Boufal for JWP was the wrong sub...********. Stephens on his arse for f*ck sake. Turn around and get in the way!!!!

Obvious sub here should be Clasie for Davis for some fresh legs in DM, but Davis is captain so that won't happen.
