Incredible odds. Some serious money to be made there. We'll be quids in and get the enjoy the fun of a promotion campaign. Get this dreadful season out of the way then we can move on and concentrate on trying to reach the top 2 or playoffs next season.

Don't dismiss the claim. Tell him he's won and his money will be coming in the post. Send him 5 pence.

Good for them. Definitely Saints related as that should have been us!

He hasn't set the world alight (yet) but in comparison to JWP, Clasie is Paul Scholes on steriods. I think the more prevalent point being made in brianu's post was just get JWP as far away from the first team as physically possible, which is a given and didn't really need saying anyway. Just think how some of the top players in our side must feel when looking around the dressing room and seeing him there. Sadio, Van Dyke, Tadic, Pelle etc. Must be so demoralising and insulting too.

Oh, I don't think that can be denied by anyone. No one would seriously suggest anything otherwise given the way we're playing. When in free-fall it's impossible to get a result at places like Palace. 4-1 but we'll take the lead through Sadio Mane.

A point will be a much needed boost towards the magic 40 points. But we can only dream. If we can keep hold of Fonte, Yoshida, Long and S.Davis next season we should be able to mount a semi-serious push the playoffs.

He's just not a footballer. And that's not a criticism, I like the guy. But I'm not a footballer either, I'm not slagging myself off by saying that, just stating facts. He's a great talker, perhaps he could find a job in the media. Or to be fair he is a bright guy there are many things he could do. Football is not one of them. Looks good in avatars though, the handsome bugger.

Ward-Prowse needs a season in the Conference. If he can do something there, give him a chance at League 2 level for a season. He needs to earn his way up the leagues. How he continues to play in the Prem is outrageous, shocking and quite incredible.

You're a bit of a nutter. And coming from me that should hurt.

Reckon Stek has been pretty good overall, certainly not at fault for any of the dirty Scousers goals. But after thinking about it I also can't remember him making a save for us yet. Eishhh...

Despite the result, best night ever, one of the best games ever, best atmospheres, best celebrations. Hope to never forget it.

Thought we played bloody well in the most part to be honest. Just a couple of individual errors cost us

Boob.

We've clearly been told to stand off them and let them attack. Cracking.

No questions about JRod's fitness, except the 2 questions about JRod's fitness. Bloody journos.

What a bunch of absolute wet fannies we have on here, upset about the French national anthem being played. Not in my name son, faakin French anfem? faakin disgustin' innit.Morons. Go and enjoy the game and if you don't enjoy others showing respect that's up to you, but moaning about others showing respect is weird.

Not even Everton could prevent Stoke coming to St Mary's this weekend. That is decided when the fixtures are drawn and Mark Hughes has confirmed the game is on.

He doesn't need to say it, and neither do we. It's a given that everyone is GRATEFUL for the vocal minority who stopped that loon and joke of a football manager coming back to our club.

Until Bognor Regis and Walthamstowe Avenue FC are allowed to complete in the Welsh Leagues, Swansea and Cardiff shouldn't be allowed in the English leagues.

Appalling name but will give it a listen, cheers.

"Avoid the traffic" :lol: It's a football game. Around 30,000 in the stadium. There's gonna be a little traffic flower. Perhaps best you stay home and finish knitting that patchwork quilt you've been putting off for ages.

Just enjoy Graziano whilst you still can at Saints. We all know during next summers sale we've lost him, Mané, Wanyama, Virgil, Bertrand and Tadic. But you can rest assured the board will replace them with good enough players to ensure we can tread water and have another massive sale the following year. Gotta hand it to the board. Self-sustaining system.

Davis, Clasie and Ward-Prowse in midfield. Yoshida at right back. Cedric on the bench. We could win, but with that selection we're going all out for a loss.

Actually enjoyed watching this, fair play to him. Fair play especially for looking genuinely impressed with what Southampton has to offer! That takes some serious doing.

We could look to rest him for the remainder of the season as we're clearly not going to reach Europa League. Whilst we're at is let's also rest Pellé, Tadic and Mané too this season is a write-off.
