Of the 13 teams above us, which should Hasenhuttl be disappointed not to be higher than? I'd say only Crystal Palace and possibly Leeds. So hardly a poor season when looked as a whole rather than just the last 4 months.

He wasn't 'tactically inept' in the 1st half. You overlooked the Spurs squad cost considerably more than ours and the difference in quality came through as the game progressed. You made comments regarding being out done by Ryan Mason a 29 year old, but the resources Mason had available to him were significantly better than what Hasenhuttl had. You decided to overlook this or couldn't grasp it.

Because our opponents Tottenham are in the League Cup final tomorrow. The game with them was played early.

Stop moving the goalposts! His post was in response to your comments regarding the last game.

4-2-2-2 as usual

Bizarre rather than radical. Where exactly is Walker-Peters playing in that formation? Who is in central midfield?

Funny for a number of reasons...

That doesn't help when the bank calls. "But sir... everyone else has the same problem"

It makes a difference to Saints ability to pay current contracts. Obligation to pay them even if our income drops significantly with small PL TV deals in the future.

Adding the ESL to FM is largely a database issue.

Still doesn't explain why you think the club you support being hit financially is amusing.

Why is it 'amusing' when the club you support is one of those 14? The 'big 6' leaving hits Saints financially as PL tv deals would shrink alot.

Leicester have only had 1 on target themselves. Key thing is they scored it!

I'd be surprised if it wasn't Forster. But McCarthy would also have huge gloves, he is hardly small at 6 foot 4.

Only the winner of the FA Cup gets a European place. If the winner has another path to Europe then it goes to a team on league placing, not the runner up of the FA Cup.

It would be significantly less. The reason the TV deals are so large is because of those clubs, them leaving has a huge negative financial impact on the remaining clubs.

Not easy to do at short notice when tied down to big long term contracts.

If it did happen, it would screw Saints financially. The Premier League TV deals would shrink significantly and result in a huge loss of income for Saints.

It isn't 'uncharted' when McCarthy, Bednarek, Romeu, Bertrand, Redmond, Ward-Prowse and Forster were all in the 2018 FA Cup semi final squad and were all at Staplewood this week in the build up to today's game.

Djenepo in central midfield is a disaster waiting to happen.

Why is it uncharted for us? It is our 13th FA Cup semi final and many of our squad were involved reaching this stage as recently as 2018.
