They are only 4 and 6 points above us. That really isn't much. They are above us due to playing well as a unit throughout the entire season, not individual quality. Squad for squad, Saints have the more talented footballers. If we had been playing 4-2-2-2 for the entire season I don't think it is unreasonable to think we'd be above both of them given the current small gap.

If they made Europe they'd probably slightly increase the squad size to deal with the extra games. You can't judge the squad in a non European campaign season for a European campaign season.

That is simply not true.

It is bizarre how much you twist words and don't realise you are doing it! Valery missing the last couple of games is not a problem that required a 3rd right back signed in January, as he is close to being ready to play.

No I didn't.

It doesn't really get him off the wagebill, as you'd have to pay him those contracted wages.

1) When did I say there was 'no problem'? 2) He did play in a game last week and thus is no longer ill, that was my point which you keep twisting. Do you know the difference between not being ill, being 'fit' and being 'fully match fit'?

You make this difficult! I said he wasn't injured and was building towards match fitness with the 60 mins for the u23s. It is not as black and white as you make out with fit or not fit. You build towards full match fitness, even when no longer ill or injured.

Fit enough to return to an under 23 game for 60 mins and be on the bench, is different to ready to start.

That is not a question.

Tom Barclay @TomBarclay_ · 3m Understand Southampton have begun to chat to Ralph Hasenhuttl about a new 3-yr deal. Formal talks won't begin til survival is ensured - but I'm led to believe RH is keen to commit as he's bought in massively to the project at #saintsfc

When did I say he was fully match fit? You are the king of taking things out of context, as you have again highlighted by picking out those quotes.

So we shouldn't qualify for Europe this season to give us a better chance of qualifying next season?

17th is not a relegation spot

Back training and playing an hour for the under 23s isn't fully match fit. That doesn't mean he is 3rd choice

Redmond's goal probably would have been booed at St Mary's by some for the backwards and sideways passing during it whilst trying to open up Chelsea's defence... [video=youtube_share;WBOanotjtDY]

2017/18 = 17th 2018/19 = 16th 2019/20 = 12th

They are! Have you not read this forum!

Celebrate when it happens, then celebrate if the goal is allowed. 2 celebrations >>> 1 celebration

What about incidents where the players aren't aware of an issue? The lack of this happening is a major issue. Would that help? May just wide up the crowd. What does that mean?

How is it making it dull? If anything there are now more talking points because the refs are **** using what would otherwise be a good system.
