Whitey Grandad

The main advantage of the premiership is the extra coverage that you get, both on the tele and in the papers. I can do without the ticket prices though.

Just seen the goals again on the FL show. How on earth does Fonte miss that clearance? He completely misreads the flight of the ball.

Not now, please.

I'm with Dune.

Exactly. It would make more sense to criticise Adam for missing that header.

I was absolutely frozen. How is Kevin Moore?

Now there I agree with you.

It's a bit early for this, just as it was early to talk about life in the Premiership.

I still have my two slide rules. They're a lot quicker than 'Napier's bones' and they don't need batteries. Some slide rules had a straight edge with measurement markings.

That's not 'the Southampton Way'.

Just a thought, but if the worst happens, would this be considered a good season?

Nah, Fonte's ball, surely.

The worst that can happen is that it's all down to the last day.

A play-off match. I think it's one game on neutral ground. We came very close to this a few seasons ago when it would have been Coventry.

We were both 16 when we met and married 4 years later whilst still at university. No formal proposal, it was just sort of taken for granted, a bit like I have been ever since.

There was nothing in it. It was only the reaction of the Reading players that helped him to get booked.

Not every week but there have been far too many of them lately, Blackpool, Portsmouth, Reading. Cut those out and we're laughing.

Thanks for your comments. I used the term 'mugging' but only because I couldn't think of a better one. I fell like we've been mugged, but there was nothing improper or unfair about the way that you played last night. Solid defending, no silly mistakes and razor-sharp finishing. Congratulations on your promotion, there's still a chance of the title for us and we hope to play you again next season.

There! You feel better already.

Yet somehow I think we were less effective once we had made the change.

I think most would agree with you but we have to get there first.

Very minor, if anything. The ball was hit down into the ground very hard.

The future's not ours to see.

That's about the sum of it.

You've created a new psychological condition: alpine complex.
