Whitey Grandad

It won’t be a total disaster for the club and it won’t be anything like a disaster for me.

Because we won’t be in the same league?

I’m sure you’ll be able to get tickets to Tottenham or Wolves. They just won’t be playing Saints though. Long shot but here’s always hope of a cup draw too.

Thanks. This situation needs to be watched.

Is that a bad thing?

Hmm. 'Violent Conduct and not 'Serious foul play'. That means that it was not considered to be in the normal run of play but was premeditated and deliberate.

I think the extra game ban is only for a frivolous appeal.

There is no justification for it. Dean should have sent him off at the time and will suffer in his bank balance for it. Have a look at his appointments ni the next couple of weeks.

Of course, but it’s not impossible.

Then don’t give any free tickets to local schools.

You said (or implied) that you have to be in the PL to get into Europe but winning the odd cup or two is possible for a team in any division. I we were to win the FA Cup this season wouldn’t that give us Europa League?

OK. My grandson, who I’m taking, goes to a local school. How about refunding the £80 for his ticket.

Give me a refund first.

Europe was pretty depressing as it turned out. How many away goals did we score? You don’t have to be in the PL to get into Europe.

That relegation ain’t so bad?

Really? Even under Wotte and Poortvliet we played some better football.

You'd need to find a buyer first.

Dean will suffer for missing it. They are paid for every game that they take plus a retainer so if/when he misses a couple it will hit him in the pocket. Doesn't help us tough.

Not just at corners. We retreated so far back that almost everybody was in the box and yet Hazard and Giroux foud space and time to score. The problem is that if too many players are there then nobody knows which player to mark and so nobody picks up anybody. If the midfielders push up more then it becomes obvious which attackers are loose and also puts pressure on the opposition players that are just outside the box. Otherwise we can't clear the ball upfield.

Home games, especially after the end of January? The decline had set in well before the end of the season and began with us throwing the home cup game against Arsenal.

One game at a time (I know, I know) Is it feasible for us to get a point at Leicester? - yes, of course, Then, having done well there is it feasible for us to beat Bournemouth? - yes, of course.

When I was at university there was a Leicester fan among us. They had just been relegated and he was explaining that he saw it as a chance to regroup, consolidate and then progress back up from there. This was in 1969 and sure enough they eventually won the league title!

No they're not. As long as you can hear them they are a pathetic embarrassment.

Which game was that? I must have missed it. (Cup Final excepted)

How long does it take FFS?
