Mr Brightside

You’d hope as a Liverpool fan he couldn’t bring himself to play for them…but guess the chance to move back home may be the deciding factor (oh, and the cash of course!).

Former BBC journalist Fletcher wrote on his personal Twitter account on Friday afternoon (5 August): “Connor [sic] Coady has told Wolves he would like move to Everton.

Boom.

Should certainly start ahead of Djenepo.

Good point.

How a Premier League striker is unable to use both feet is beyond me.

Disappointed with the lineup is an understatement.

Agree, can’t remember seeing us completely dominate a top team away like that in the 1st half. Think we all were thinking we’d run out of steam and blow it in the 2nd. But what a comeback after a dreadful decision for the 2nd, looked like a foul, but regardless ref had to stop it for the head injury. Sharing that with my boys tonight will live long in the memory. Oh when the SAINTS go marching in….

Agree, has been decent this season. The Itchen corner make a great noise, if we could combine that with the Northam think we'd make a proper din.

Yep, was sung a fair bit, standard song that most away supporters sing surely? Equal number if not more OWTS (obviously), COYRs, Pompey get battered…., a proper witty ditty about the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy (my favourite) and loads of others. There may have also been some inappropriate language directed in the direction of a certain Mason Mount when he was warming up in front of us. Fair play to him, he seemed to enjoy it. Ultimately I thought the support was excellent, pretty much non-stop. Everything an away game should be. Class!

Apart from a couple of brief penalty moments, loved every minute last night. So good to be at a game again, especially away, everything about it was fantastic, the walk to the ground, the singing in the concourse, the non-stop support during the game. At half time we were praying for a goal down our end, and what a moment of sweet bedlam when it happened. We came away at the end and both my lads said (with very hoarse throats) although it was a shame we went out that way, they weren't disappointed, like me, they just enjoyed it.

Anyone know a good place to park? Was thinking maybe Hammersmith and walking from there?

Yes, candidate for miss of the century, but been in great form recently and apart from the miss had a good first half. Can’t see him going anywhere which is fine by me.

Yep, agree with this too, always baffles me why we, and most other teams, pull everyone back. Also, not a big McCarthy fan, but think he was a bit unlucky with the goal, clean strike and he probably saves it. Also thought the save he made early on from the Matic header was crucial. Ok, should save those, but they are easy to spill and I think if we conceded early could easily have folded.

Appreciate he's only got a year left, but £6M seems low. Obviously injury prone and hasn't been consistent, but he's young and has shown glimpses that he could be decent. I'd rather we kept him, extend his contract and loan him out to someone like Reading to get some regular game time and bang in some goals in the Championship.

Not a lot of use though unless he's worked out how to defend. Let's hope so...

I like it.

Being an ex grumpy left-back myself, always had a lot of time for Berty. I for one will miss him, been a great servant and don't begrudge him going for one last big contract, good luck to him.

Thought we did ok, if we had a decent striker on the pitch could have got something. But all a bit meh now, roll on some summer signings and next season.

Agree, decent first half. BUT can we turn up for the 2nd half for a change?
