Has anyone worked out yet what the point is of splitting the teams into arbitrary groups ahead of the draw? I'm assuming its UEFA trying to make it appear more 'exciting' than it actually is but maybe there's a more scientific reason that I'm missing somewhere....

That's as comfortable as it gets. Excellent result over the two ties. An underwhelming yet professional performance tonight. Never any need for the players to get out of 2nd gear. WE MARCH ON!

I think we've been "dire" out of choice rather than because we are. No need to get out of second gear.

This. Could be the signing of the season

Just need a 'maybe' for the full set

Yes

Maris Piper and King Edward

He said in the interview earlier that Koeman wants him to play the same way that he was playing for Swansea and Spurs and that he's been 'forced' to play different tactics the last two season and as such it'll take him a few games to get back in the swing of playing 'properly'. I can't remember if Toby hit the ground running or whether he grew into the role.

Bring on the subs now Ronald... time to rest key players for Sunday

Game over!!

Yep. Best bet would be to have a quick look at the match build up thread I reckon

Looking more like a storm in a teacup then

I'm slightly surprised the local media haven't made more of it TBH.

So, this new stadium that "crippled" us.... Will that be the same stadium (aka infrastructure) that made us a viable proposition for serious investors thus ultimately being a key factor in turning around our fortunes? Maybe we should have taken a leave out of Pompey:s book and "crippled" the club by overspending on players we couldn't afford instead?

I've got a feeling the game is on BT Sport 2. Anyone confirm?

Probably because a significant number of them probably have an affinity with Saints given the Koeman/Pellets/Clasie connections

Minority of fans in revealing their Mensa credentials shocker

Could be done and dusted tomorrow I reckon
