Bomb disposal unit on the scene at M3 closure apparently

...

'Major incident" on the M3. Sounds like it might be closed for a while....

...

Mourinho in his press conference saying that he hasn't seen a significant change in how Southampton play under Pochettino, Koeman, Puel and now under Pellegrino, and because of that consistency we are a very good club to be a manager at. Pah, what does he know compared to the SWF intelligentsia....?

Ter-riff-ick

Shurlock my good fellow... Do you want the honours of posting a 'whooooosh' or happy to leave it with me? I wouldn't want to take the limelight for such a splendid team effort without asking first

The Man Utd team this evening:

Free beer

We just beat Man City U18s 3-0, so maybe the future isn't looking quite as "gash" as the present... https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-09-20/match-report-southampton-under-18s-manchester-city-premier-league-cup

I'm still trying to work out if the "we'll" in the thread title should have been "well" or "we're"

If he's not careful the mods will cotton on too, and no-one wants to see that

Was in today's training video

Was just about to write the same. The more skillful a player is the more likely they are to frustrate the defence ergo the more likely a defender is to commit a foul.

VvD looks ready to start on Saturday IMO. Played the whole 90 mins tonight yet wasn't too strenuous.

I reckon the players he would most likely replace in the first team match squad are Davis/JWP/Hojbjerg, so would need an injury to two out of three of those chaps in order to stand a chance of a first team berth I would venture.

I believe we're cloning VvD in the laboratory as we speak

Totally agree with those observations. When one of our youngsters went down injured he was the 'father figure' going over to them to see that they were ok. As you say, hardly the demeanor of someone who is dwelling on recent history. Good to see. (I reserve the right to change my opinion if he starts to throw his toys out of the pram again in the January window!)

Good to see VvD play the full 90 mins. Thought he might have come off at 60.

Targett off injured. Didn't look as serious as Tella's injury though

Yep, sorry, it was Tella
