3-1, bad weekend all round really.

Meanwhile Poch heading for 3 points and 6th due to the useless Magpies. Not sure Newcastle are safe from relegation.

I guess you didn't see the KD goal then. Clearly Kelvin misjudged it and should have pushed it over the bar. Steve Davis getting panned, but would have been given one of those assist thingies that certain people go on and on about if Morgan had not tapped in Fonte's goal. Clearly SD dropped a clanger that got Fonte booked earlier, but really he did not have as bad a game as some would have us believe. Pelle - awful as usual, cannot score, cannot hold the ball up, in some ways a pity he scored last week because some people believed it would make a difference, it hasn't and it won't. Tadic shooting woeful from 2 excellent chances made by....Steve Davis

Too right, least not round Southampton. 6 bed student house rent about £2000 per month. I don't think a 6 bed house can be had for anything like £120k. Daughter was student in Soton until last year, in a 6 room shared house.

Taken by Steven Davis I believe.

I think the record that David refers to is that Peachey became the highest scoring full back in the history of the Football League (not penalties) when he scored a pen against ManU in 1979. Not sure whether that record still stands, he scored a few more after that date for us, Swindon and Orient, What I had not realised was that the penalty against Palace was his first (of many) for us. We must have got a lot of pens in those days if he racked up 26 in 4 seasons.

On the other hand MLT 2 will be good.

Who said it isn't overpriced? I guess you completely miss the point.

Innovation. Good to see the Club trying new things (though it isn't). Have you bought your ticket in the Villa end yet like other Villa supporters do?

I think the phrase is "no s h i t Sherlock"

Would suggest that 2 successive seasons in Europa League will see us fall down the League before we have a non-European season and challenge for the title. Sounds good to me. Klopp will get a lot of plaudits for taking us to second place and a possible showdown with Barca boss Ronald Koeman in the 2019 Champions League.

As things stand you are a 6th place supporter. But if you don't do well between now and end of season you could be a 7th place supporter, so make sure you try bloody hard, who knows you may improve to be a 5th place supporter if you do.

Yep, hopefully we can find a gullible team to take him off our hands for next season if he is nearly fit again. Had high hopes for him beginning of season, but they were soon shattered once he actually got on the pitch.

What has watching Villa got to do with it? If you are a Saints fan, then you are paying £42 to watch Saints. Is that laughable? (The answer is probably yes, because it is a ridiculous amount to pay to watch a football match, but that's modern football for you). If you want to watch Villa why don't you buy a ticket from Villa then you can sit with your friends and fellow supporters.

It hasn't done them much good, 4 points off relegation, though they have improved over the last few weeks. Still only 10th this season though.

Glad I'm not the only one who can't remember much about it, like you I have very clear memories of the final, but apart from being there and a few vague recollections, the day was a complete haze.

We qualified for the UEFA Cup as runners-up. Winning the English Football League was still seen as the pinnacle, European competition was fun, but it wasn't the goal, it was simply a result of doing well in the domestic competition. You have to remember it was a proper competition then, home and away, 4 or 5 rounds at most (European Cup that is).

That's as may be but he is a top striker, probably the best in the world. Never seen him play in goal. Would have thought he was a bit on the short side.

Absolutely no clue, complete haze. All I can remember is where I was stood, looking at The Shed to my right. Don't know who I was with, how I got there, nothing. Guessing I msy have had the odd shandy.

I was there.

Well they are the second oldest professional football club, only that giant of a club Notts County can beat that.

Really? Apart from a couple of 4th places either side of the War, I can't conceive of how anyone could ever consider Stoke as one of the big clubs. Even when Sir Stan joined them they were in Div 2. They have struggled to attract more than mod 20k on average, usually much less.

Toby has -3cm more height than Yoshida. In other words Yoshida is taller.

Agree totally. Sometimes I would put SD as MOTM but yesterday he was not even a consideration. I think with hindsight I should have voted for Yoshida rather than Morgan.

He didn't struggle without Wanyama yesterday though. He was far better in the second half after Vic had been subbed. So the evidence of one game (Burnley) is not exactly convincing.
