Many, many moons ago I used to work as a passenger boat captain, and I was given a private job at Henley Management College. Easy job, pick up some people, drive them around a bit whilst they got drunk, and get them back to Henley Management College without killing them. Bobby was on board and asked to use the PA system, then proceeded to crack jokes for about ten minutes. He also encouraged the guests to put their hands in their pockets to sort me and my crew out with some tips, so I can't fault him.

Unless Stoke take up their option, although that's unlikely seeing as he's effectively been injured since he got there. But - if they DO take up their option, and we lose Peretz by not going up, it's probable we won't have a senior GK on the books come the summer. Alex Mc and Jones will be out of contract and I'd be surprised if we saw either still here next year, Baz and Peretz gone and Long will be end of loan. It'll be a clean slate for our GK department.

Not far off Skintsaint! It's interesting to look back at some old threads to see what we were feeling back in late October. This one was just after we lost to Blackburn. We lost the next game to Preston, Will Still was sacked and then came the Coming of Tonda and the excellent run he had before the Christmas lull. Who'd have thought that a 32 year old German with no experience managing in football would change things as much as he has. This club has made some punts before but the punts on Tonda, Peretz and Larin look like master strokes right now. More successful punts needed in the summer, whatever league we're in.

One that sticks out was Wayne Thomas vs Ipswich. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/video/classic-match-thomas-scores-st-marys-stunner

You know you're in trouble when fans, on the forums of Portsmouth and Spurs, are both suggesting bringing back Harry Redknapp as a saviour! West Ham fans on Kumb were saying the same back in January too. 😜

Yep. Laid it on a plate for Charles's tap in. 😝

8 points off Boro in second. Well if the media keep saying Norwich have a chance of getting to the play offs despite being 9 points behind us then surely we still have a shot at the autos! We seem to be grinding results out. Mark of a good team. Incidentally relegation battle now looks like a 3 horse race between Pompey, Leicester and Oxford. Hope Oxford stay up but anything could happen there.

Points are all that matters now. Nice break until the next game. Get the players rested, get Leo fit and we go again.

Balls. Control the controllables.

Get Bragg on.

Wake up Saints.

Could boost their goal difference here.

Hope Ross is fit enough to contribute. Need a sneaky third.

Balls. Come on Sheffield teams.

Against Wednesday they were always likely to win today. All we can do is keep winning.
