Damn... Now I'm *really* confused...

If I was MLG, I might be inclined to say: "a couple of times isn't anywhere near long enough to judge a player that definitively". But I'm not, so I won't...

Cheers for the update @stevegrant 👍

Come on Harrogate!

Away to WBA or Harrogate in round 3

Nice tie

Are people saying "Tella isn't good enough" as in: "I've seen enough of him to inform me that he'll never reach premier League standard" or are they saying it as in: "he's not good enough yet but still has potential to reach premier League standard" If the latter, then he's a decent enough 5th choice, if the former then why have Saints bothered listing him in this season's first team squad in the first place...?

Given there appeared to be an element of players not passing to JWP when that was the obvious pass (happened less as the game went on to be fair), the conspiracy theorist lurking in the back of my mind did wonder if the other players see JWP as a bit of a teacher's pet and don't think he's there on merit alone. Probably a load of unsubstantiated nonsense from me (just for a change) but stranger things have happened... Maybe...

Nice one Prowsey

Decent enough performance from JWP all things considered.

Funny old game

Ah, yes... So many memorable moments I completely forgot about that one...!

Has either team had a shot on goal yet...?

Come on Ingsy!

JWP needs to cut his fringe

Aye.... Seems to be a case of "let's not pass it to the Southampton fella" at times

JWP playing higher up the pitch than he has done for Saints lately. Not sure that's his best position. Think he's more effective when playing deeper

I think I might give the lottery a miss tonight... 😂

What's "intriguing" about Bednarek's contract? (apologies if I'm missing something obvious... it's been a long week!)

Chances of Ings starting the game tomorrow? I'm assuming that JWP is a cert for the bench but I reckon Ings might be in with a shout of starting. That said, more likely to be on the bench too. Good to be able to look forward to an England game again though.

Working a treat at the moment

The words 'false' and 'economy' spring to mind. Given £5/mth for most people is relatively peanuts (16 new pence per day) I'd venture there would have been enough people prepared to pay more to retain a quality level of service. (even if it was as much as a fiver a month I'd probably still pitch in....) Even if it has to be a "Cheaper/shared" solution, surely there is more than one option out there in that category? Appreciate its a PITA moving stuff from one provider to another, but if the first one is no cop, then just try more providers until we find one that isn't shite...?
