  1. If Chicharito did sign for Saints it would give Saints a lot of Mexican followers.

     

    Don't underestimate this following. Football/Soccer/Futbol is the religion in Mexico.

     

    Go into a Mexican restaurant with Chicharito on the back of a Saints shirt. 'Sure - I'd love a complementary beverage. Thank you'.

     

    We'll see. A bit of a long shot this one I reckon.

  2. One way or another I was able to watch all of Southampton's Premier League games. (I have only missed one full game and two half games so far for reasons unrelated to their availability--although I missed most of the second half of this year's Sunderland game due to a bug in the app.) However, it is $200 cheaper with NBC than it was with Fox and I can see every Southampton game live if wish.

     

    Hang on a min here. Take a step back. We are talking the 8-0? How many goals did you miss?

     

    Chicago Fire v Saints

    Indy Eleven v Saints

    Columbus Crew v Saints

     

    I think these should be the 3 games of the USA tour. Chicago definitely. How does it all work though - the MLS season runs from March to October. So are we looking at MLS teams who are on a bye week? There ain't that many byes during the English close-season (see schedule below). Sweden and Austria it is...

  3. Shame they've scrapped the live broadcasts from outside the grounds, the FHRITP interruptions and the infamous purple Dildo outside Everton's training ground made me laugh like an absolute drain.

     

    Boo. You may have had people slagging off all the 'childish idiots' behind the reporters but it was the main thing that kept a lot of us watching.

     

    'Live to the Britannia where Stoke have signed [some foreign mush that nobody has ever heard of] on a 2 week loan' ain't gonna be the same when reported from inside the ground.

     

    For anyone in the USA then NBCS has a Premier League Deadline Day show from 6pm ET. Not sure if it's the Sky feed or not. Prob not but whatever - something different to watch apart from College Basketball.

  4. gonna make for some pretty dull later legs. fa cup final of bradford v middlesborough - think ill miss that one.

     

    but you'd get excited if it was some combination of lpool/man utd/arsenal? Aren't you sick of media lovedogs like them? I hate teams like that in the FA Cup Final - give me something like Bradford v Mboro in the final any day. The day would have a proper old-school buzz about it for them.

     

    Mugs competition anyway. All the big, good teams made a point of losing at home today.

  5. We were shocking against a Sheffield United side in the cup. Just the way it goes. United will run out 4/5-0 winners at OT.

     

    Both teams are called 'United'. So are tons of others. This ain't a Man Utd forum. Just saying...

  6. Does anyone know if this is being shown live anywhere in the world... ie will there be a stream? Cheers

     

    It currently isn't being shown in the USA (either live or on delay). It's not an exact science but often this means it ain't on anywhere else.

     

    Hopefully the Radio Solent commentary will be available again (like it was for the Ipswich home game). Way better than nothing.

  7. Have you ever been close to winning a decent size bet only to see it snatched out of your hand by the fickle hand of fate?

     

    Who hasn't?

     

    My worst Saints one was:

    We were 20/1 to win at Arsenal a few years back ('only' 10/1 in places but you could get 20/1). A massive price. Couldn't resist. Put 50 quid on.

     

    Yep the game where by some miracle we went 2-1 up. Time is ticking down. The 3 mins of injury time are up. Ref is about to blow but lets Van Persie have one more hopeful whack towards goal...

     

    You know the rest.

  8. Since when have there been no Prem games for the weekend of the FA Cup quarters? (weekend before Sat 7 March). (or the 5th Rd).

     

    It was always no top flight games were scheduled for the 3rd & 4th rounds. Now the 5th & 6th as well?

     

    Put me down for 3pm Sat - a way better day out than 1.30pm on a Sunday. Full stop.

  9. Packers catastrophically cocked up on Sunday in game they should have to put to bed after half time. Quite devastating to watch my distraught Packers fan son witness it. Hopefully his second team, Saints, will do something nice in May!

     

    Must admit I wanted the Packers to lose so quite enjoyed the ending - unlike the Seahawks fans who left early when they were losing. No sympathy what so ever!

  10. In the USA the game is live on NBC (think BBC/ITV). Anyone with a TV will be able to watch it (won't even need a poxy license!). This is the first time Saints have been live on terrestrial TV over here. Nice one.

     

    Def need to win 4-0 now. I don't see why not. An early goal. Attack. Job done.

  11. Is anyone on here one of the hopefuls?

     

    Before the season 33 hopeful Saints fans backed Southampton to finish in the top four at 33/1 – they’re now just so they are certainly on the value. One of those punters staked £25 on Koeman’s men and is set to pocket £850 if Saints can finish in the Champions League spots. Another even more optimistic punter stuck £5 each-way on Southampton to win the league at 1000/1.
