the saint in winchester

I'm with Uncle Albert. That equaliser means he can claim to have it under control, taken the point he wanted. We absolutely have to beat Stoke next week. 38 points is the minimum we need, and one point per game won't get us there. West Brom will fire Pardew within 24 hours, have Silva installed within 48 hours and mount a challenge to escape. Meanwhile, we will trickle to 'too little too late city'.

To me, that says it's definitely on Saturday and we'll get back to you on the start time.

Sounds like best option is to go up Thursday/Friday and come back Tue morning ... if you can do that. Plenty to see in the cotton towns.

Really? And he wants £150k a week? He wants to triple his wages? No wonder Spurs are prepared to let him go. ‘ALDERWEIRELD COULD BE SOLD’ Tottenham are considering cashing in on Toby Alderweireld this summer after talks stalled regarding a new contract for the defender, according to The Times. The Belgium international is reportedly asking for his wage to be increased to £150,000 per week but Tottenham are unwilling to play ball due to their strict wage structure.

Seems odd to have let Gardos go out on loan (aka release him) when 'we' (the management/owners) must have known Yoshi was out injured.

OK, Sunday 1.30 it is then (so y'all say). Off to the trainline now.

Hilarious. Shouldn't be watching it at work, having to stifle s******s now

And to bring in Marco Silva to replace him. If he does come in and energises them, we could be bottom soon. All supposition at this stage. If my auntie had .....

Seriously, let's introduce them into the senior team, one at a time, until they are all playing.

Is this a documentary about Elise Christie's Olympics 2018?

Cup win, all day long. This is our best chance in years. We have a good chance of promotion next season, if that is needed.

Yes, if Wigan can beat Citeh at home, do you think they will fear us??? Delighted for them tonight, they deserved to win. Will be a tough game for us. Would love to go if it's a Sat or Sun game. My mother's home town (and not a lotta people know that!)

One player total? I was hoping one player from each team? But only one? As our problem is creating goals, moving FORWARD from midfield to the striker, another vote for the king of assists, Kevin de Bruyne...

The FA have said both semis will be at Wembley, even if one involves Spurs. They get a "home" draw.

Hopefully, Man Citeh will play the youth side against Wigan, and lose ... If not, then play the youth side against us ....

Any personal issues - insomnia, gambling, alcohol or drug abuse are personal and should not be disclosed to the public. I don't want to hear him discussing it. You're the manager, help them with their problems.

Yes, I think that is the underlying reason he is still here. Non-Saints fans were perplexed that Saints sacked a manager who took them to 8th and almost won the cup. In the club management's eyes, to change manager ONCE was discerning, to change manager AGAIN may appear foolish and out of control. All brand image, how we look.

Right, let's have Callum Slattery in the starting line up on Saturday, please.

No guarantees, agreed. But likelihood, probability. Marco Silva has proved to be an impact manager, and I for one believe he would accrue more points in our final 11 games than Pellegrino, and those points may make the difference between relegation and staying up. No, he couldn't save Hull but they were a corpse when he went there. He won points under his management but were too far behind, he couldn't make up the difference. He went on to do so well at Watford that Everton started courting him. The warning is there that he can be flirted with, but we just need an immediate impact and short term return. I would terminate Pellegrino, or offer him "suitable alternative employment" (legal definition) to avoid the redundancy payment, then bring in Silva on a rolling 3 month contract.

That's the spirit ...not. Hopefully, West Broom will take that approach and we can get past them.

My predictor has Stoke on 34, Saints on 30 and West Brom on 26. Yikes

This is like the sign FREE BEER TOMORROW. Sadly tomorrow never comes.

He pops over from Papsweb every now and then to see whatsupp.

Adrian Durham raised it on Talksport last night, inviting Southampton fans to call in. As I was driving home, I left it to "Jamie" to speak for us. He explained how clueless Pellegrino was, referenced the performance and substitutions at the weekend, that almost all fans wanted him gone but clearly the Board are giving him all the time in the world in the hope he can somehow turn it around. Pellegrino is apparently 8/11 ON to be sacked next but it isn't happening.

Enjoy? I would enjoy a manager who didn't work me too hard! This is a results-based business.
