It's what happens when you offer someone a contract and they turn it down. Reckon he has next season sorted already and has had for some time. To be honest up to the game where he got injured McCarthy was absolutely fine. Then he made a complete twat of himself. Wouldn't surprise me if we move Macca on as well as Forster and the other guy who's name escapes me, and go with Willy as a backup to a new no 1 next season.

Yes, because the Watford goal has been disallowed and then it wasn't, fuckin VAR

KWP and Perraud playing in their correct positions is good to see. Would have preferred to go stronger in CM with a 3, but it looks like Diallo is injured (not even on bench), highlighting our major weakness, options/backup in CM. To me it is the most important area to strengthen in the Summer, we can't continue relying on Oriol/JWP putting in superstar performances week in week out, we need strength in depth, 2 for every position to start and options to go 3 in the middle to avoid being overrun against some teams.

Because other teams have sussed us out by overloading us in central midfield. Our losing streak started with Villa out playing us with 3 in the middle including Coutinho and it has carried on since. To counteract being overloaded in CM we have to sacrifice one up front.

Think Eric Martin was the best 😀

About the only thing I can think in their defence is that the game is going to be played much later than would have been originally scheduled due to all of the postponements. Many grounds will be closed for summer refurbishments.But that's a feeble excuse. With due respect Stockport County are not even a full member club (haven't checked if they have a Ladies team), was supposed to be held at a Professional Stadium. Still, sure that Saints will win, whatever the venue.

Have never heard that said about Mane.

3-0 and no passes.

This is where things have been going wrong for me, starting with Villa. Teams have sussed us out and know that unless Romeu and JWP are absolutely at their best having 3 in midfield opens us up like a sardine can. Coutinho completely wiped us out, and Chelsea did the same in MF yesterday, and I think Everton did as well. Its not a case of our strikers being woeful (thought they are), or even our defenders (though the current Salisu and Bednarek are woeful), we lose matches in midfield. I said all season that we needed more midfield players, we have 2 in every position apart from CM where we really only have 3 players for the 2 places. Having that extra player would allow us to have 3 in the middle at times when it is needed, obviously Diallo could play in there but it leaves nothing on the bench to make changes. What did happen to Romeu yesterday, why was he subbed? Even at their best (and they can be very good) JWP and OR can be completely overrun by an effective 3, when one or both of them are having off days we have no hope.

League Table after today's matches, 3 wins from last 5 will clinch the title: Pos Team P W D L GD PTS 1 Southampton FC 21 18 2 1 68 56 2 Ipswich Town 23 17 4 2 54 55 3 Oxford United 22 16 2 4 51 50 4 Bridgwater United 23 14 4 5 29 46 5 Crawley Wasps 23 13 0 10 14 39 6 Gillingham 22 11 6 5 6 39 7 Portsmouth 23 11 4 8 21 37 8 London Bees 24 9 2 13 -2 29 9 Milton Keynes Dons 25 7 5 13 -12 26 10 Cardiff City 23 8 2 13 -13 24 * 11 Plymouth Argyle 22 8 0 14 -15 24 12 Chichester & Selsey 24 5 3 16 -33 18 13 Keynsham Town 23 6 0 17 -67 18 14 Hounslow 22 0 0 22 -101 0

Salisu started being shit before Ramadan started.

I missed why Romeu went off. Was he injured?

Walcott?

wrong Mike. That is Mike Reid. you'll probably say you knew that.

Main football presenter on Sky for several years, nowadays presents horse racing on ITV.

But not the same story as (K)GBNews.

No Schneiderlin, mad.

We wouldn't be blown out of the water if Bale wanted to come here. Of course he could go anywhere, but its still his decision, he has suggested in the past that Saints are a special place to him, as with Cardiff. There were rumours when we were taken over that he is mates with Dragan (or whatever his name is). He clearly wants to wind down his (club) career, it is not really that far fetched that he might do so at Saints. Whether we would actually want him is another matter.

Actually we could afford to lose to Oxford, and we would still win the league if we both win our other games. Technically we could lose one other as well, but it might then be goal difference to decide. All unlikely, I think we will win our remaining 6.

England - Mings, White Denmark - Hojbjerg Netherlands - Clasie Uruguay - Does Ramirez still play? No, last cap was in 2018

To be fair, even then its not guaranteed, still have to meet eligibility criteria, though I think Saints & Ipswich would have no problem. The women's game is still in a state of flux, promotions have tended to happen thus far with teams going out of business etc. That's why the FA made it an almost closed shop to ensure the clubs could develop without worrying about relegation too much.

Last time I was there we drew 2-2 in the League Cup semi (79). The open corner of the ground in a blizzard. Long bloody drive home in the snow. Stevie Williams scored a peach (Peach didn't score), Phil Boyer sent off. Ivan Golac.

Why not rest Tina as well then, after 2 games for u21s, especially as Ralph didn't want him to play.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Women won 2-0 at Gillingham. Up to 2nd place (because Oxford didn't play today).

George Best and Stanley Matthews definitely better.
