Totton Saint

Yes - I saw it was an 8:15 start after I had posted. My point is the same though

Let's hope the naysayers have to eat their words at 9:50 tonight.

Not very lady like language, but I do agree with your sentiments. My philosophy is If one cannot find a good word to say, keep quiet.

Valery was good enough lat season and one before that to be picked

At least we are at home

JWP kept Sala quiet at LB vs Crystal Plalace

Thanks for your support Charlie

OR stepped up when the Dane went to Spurs and excelled and more than plugged the gap after playing second string for so long. I do not think he should be rewarded by being dropped again

Have people forgotten he scored a hat trick for England? Wasn't it against Germany?

Could play both at some stage and give JWP a rest for a game or two if we have good cup run, especially if Vest is back.

Why does Ralph keep bringing Long on. Does he enjoy seeing him suffer and being embarased? It is so unkind.

If we win the FA cup that means we will be in the Europa cup

A full strength team besides Romeo and Diallo is no slouch

This must contract issue be so unsettling for the rest of the squad. I would say more but I am slow at typing.

What level was he at playing for the club we bought Mane from

Watch this space but be careful what you wish for

I am sick of players being rescued from obscurity or having their careers revitalised by us only to use us a a stepping stone. Tear up his contract offer and let him sweat

The Telegraph sports page wrote a bigger piece about Ings wanting to go to a Champions League team than their report of the game. Might stop buying the paper. With a good tail wind we could be the very team Ings wants.

I enjoyed it too. Do these lads play in the B team or even lower. Whatever, I thought they did well in the circumstances

Good post. I thought the youngsters did well. I enjoyed the game. Everything went via JWP. His goal just shaved the post. What laser like pinpoint accuraccy Good post. I thought youngsters did well. All moves went through JWP. What a free kick - pinpoint laser lie accuracy shaving the post.

My point was how good I think our best team is. Could beat anyone on their day

people forget that the attacker who has the ball at his feet has the advantage over the defender who is attempting to get the ball of him. It is much easier for the attacker to dribble by the defender than it is for the def to get the ball off him.

What a memory you have!

If we had not got so many injuries we may have got into Europe. I feel devastated for poor Smallbone. I wish him a good recovery.

Stephens should play. He cannot tired - he has only just started playing again in first team agaain
