Mr Brightside

Decent first half, look the better team. Please can we have a decent 2nd half for a change.

Good start.

Would have liked to have seen Ramsay given another chance. Not convinced Bednarek is a better option at RB.

Not overly surprised, Ings has looked a bit off the pace recently.

Sad to say I don’t know, something I wish I’d asked my Dad. Think it was around 1979.

Apologies, as expect this has already been discussed, but that article says we borrowed nearly £80M from MSD at over 9%, when other bank loans are at 1%. Now I clearly don’t understand the world of business very well, but why would we do that?

I’m available. But I’m a left back, and not interested if expected to cover other positions.

Ticks all the boxes then. When do we find out he’s not interested so we can move onto the next one?

This is my son's idea, so don't blame me, he thinks the Star Wars theme for Nlundulu. You know how it goes.

Nice! Black shorts for me.

Thanks. Fingers crossed mine is on its way soon.

Got an email on 25/11 saying shirts were ready for dispatch. No sign yet, when I check tracking number it just says “sorry unable to confirm status, try again tomorrow” and when I call it just rings. Anyone else in the same boat?

Great news.

Yay, wasn't a dream.

Absolutely bossed it. Thanks Saints, I remember 32 years ago, not sure I'll be around if I have to wait another 32 though, so will make the most of the next few hours. The confidence in the team is incredible considering the recent journey. Would have loved to have been there but I do wonder if the confidence to play it around in such tight spaces in our own half would be there with a nervous St Mary's crowd holding it's breath?

Totally bossed that, played them off the park in all departments. Really good to watch, some of the short passing in tight spaces was very impressive. Technically and tactically very good and confidence sky high, exciting times. Wouldn't have picked Redders as MOTM (lots of candidates but thought Romeu shaded it), but he had a good game and is an integral part of the system we play.

This.

I could get used to comfortable home wins.

Don't care if it was rubbish, away win at Burnley, what's not to like? Pretty comfortable too. Vest and Rom decent. Get a couple in and push on from here.

Classy. Hope he does well (but not against us obviously).

Shame, in great form for Fulham and looked like he could be the (free) replacement for PEH. Good luck to him.

Pretty standard, Redders regularly gets praise from other fans, journos, other managers, pundits and thankfully most of our fans. As always though get some that seem to have a go even when it's clear he's played well, they don't like him and seemingly never will. I don't think anyone on here thinks he's perfect, sure end product could be better sometimes. But imo his class is clear and he's enjoyed consistently good performances for 2 seasons now. Always one of the first on the team sheet for me.

Agree, admitted previously hadn’t really been following him, but watched the last few games and he’s been excellent. Amazing engine, absolutely everywhere, so many crucial tackles, can also pick a pass (not always sideways or backwards either!). You’d think he’d be Ralph’s sort of player. Appreciate he wasn’t deemed good enough before, but players improve and he clearly has, stands out in a decent Chapionship team and don’t see why he couldn’t do it in the Prem now. Think he’s 26(?) so just about to peak. With Hoj seemingly off we desperately need a replacement, seems like a no brainier to me.

So what are you saying, the “masses” think Redmond is decent, but they are wrong because they are stupid. However the minority, who I assume are not stupid, which includes you, think he’s terrible? Sorry if my my small stupid brain is failing to keep up.

Always liked Chris Sutton - “Southampton are a threat for anybody. They are a superbly capable outfit.”
