I'm not really that fussed but it does seem odd he gave that speech and then played the video with the exact same one over the top. Reckon they were expecting something different when they booked him.

And i bet you they regret it after the season he's having so far!

Of course not, but we should tie him down long term now while he's happy and then we have security of a huge fee this/next summer.

Yes, sorry. No super fan nonsense here, just the simple fact that when you're there you can see things happening off the ball that aren't happening on screen, including sometimes on-the-ball incidents when the cameras are focussed on managers, the crowd, planes, celebrities, owners etc or showing replays.

I think Koeman has realised that Long can fill in for Pelle when needed, his heading of the ball and hold up play is excellent.

Yep, in years to come it will just be 5p for all plastic bags so why not get in there first and be able to claim we were eco-friendly first. Lolno.

If he stays his entire career could be looking at 600-700 appearances for the club. I think he's got a fantastic career ahead of him.

Isn't that the first time we've ever beaten the defending champions away?

That's why Fonte has looked so dodgy this year up until the last couple of games? I literally don't know what you're looking at to come to that conclusion.

No chance he'll go in january and i think he'll stay for another season. £40million minimum.

Absolutely this one.

I held it together until "we're fighting the butterflies tonight"

Due to a cock up at work we're now unable to go, I have two adults and one under 17 ticket available at face value (£104 for all 3). Completely unrestricted view in block 23. Don't live in Southampton so would have to meet at the Leicester home game. PM me or email me at saint.j.clark@live.co.uk if you cannot PM.

Worth pointing out they played him as a deep lying centre mid.

Newcastle are f*cking useless.

Koemans criticisms might be for the second half where we never properly pressed for another goal, but I can also buy that he's trying to keep the players on their toes. At the end of the day the players did what needed to be done. Davis and JWP were both much better than in the past. Mane pretty quiet by his standards.

So basically we should be getting something a bit more unique instead of template? Lovely. I would still be over the moon if we moved from stripes to sash.

I disagree, I think we're worse. I've tried to get original chants going before (me and two others anyway) and it's just greeted with complete silence and on occasion strange looks. We've got a fanbase who are so afraid of being embarrassed that they refuse to join in with chants that aren't already pretty loud. The Wanyama one was excellent but only got going because everyone was so smashed out in Arnhem. On that note, the Wanyama chant was sung on wednesday and I could not bring myself to join in. Just can't like the guy anymore.

I fail to see why that chant is embarrassing compared to others tbh.

Yep, it's time we actually did something about this. Our repertoire of chants is awful. Use the old Billy Sharp chant for Mane - Mane mane, mane mane, mane mane, mane mane, Sadio-oh-oh! Sadio-oh-oh!

I was praying it came near me so i could eat it and put an end to the ****ing thing.

He was average in a game of good performances. Koeman has said him and Juanmi aren't up to speed physically yet so we need to give them more time.

Long is actually a better header of the ball for me, but Pelles overall threat is better.

Roadworks were a joke, you have to keep one major route south open surely.

From what i've seen he's better than Targett tbh.
