Ah right, so they probably think they can get a duffer to finish 16th and pay him a lot less. Never thought his heart was in it.

I thought similar over the weekend. The difference is momentum. In your hypothetical situation we'd be winning. Nonetheless performances are still generally good and we remain in a strong position. A win tomorrow night, any win, and with players returning for Everton, which is winnable fixture, things could look very different by this Saturday evening.

Better than Monday nights. Mondays are bast@rds.

Thought it was two actually but can't be arsed to check it.

If you're a class act but short of confidence, Koeman's your man and Southampton's your club...but not on those wages.

"I can’t split these two. One’s near the bottom and one’s near the top."

We left during time added and actually had to run most of the way to the station to catch the 10pm. A further tube and train ride later I got in about 1am.

"minimum deconstruction work" interesting, which I take for meaning not much cost!" It means less cost rather than not much cost. The cost per extra seat would be expensive.

Take a look. Many a PL player would have been proud to score one like that even in a warm up. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30026053

The Guardian. Have you seen the goal by Stephanie Roche?

I'm not one to criticise our support but it was quiet. I kid you not I was told by a women nearby that she would get a headache if I carried on shouting (at the ref). I mean, it's a football match, it's a ref, what did she expect.

Ok I stand corrected. A lot of artistic licence there.

A bit of artistic licence but also the club knew more then we did. There was a Solent interview with RK after the final match of last season in which he alluded to players leaving.

I knew this was coming if we didn't win. Nobody needs to wake up to Davis. His quality is obvious. His absence wasn't the reason we didn't play well and didn't win. Koeman could have put Cork in to replace Davis. He chose an extra forward to provide width to go round the inevitable banks of four. I'd have preferred Cork in for Davis and the fullbacks getting forward more. After all, it was they that got us the goal, whereas the wide players' crossing was poor.

He made a mistake. Big deal.

That's been the way to play against Saints for a few seasons now and sadly we still struggle with it.

Can't get a train back after the match.

By that logic you must be devilishly handsome.

You have a response to your comment but I won't dignify it with an answer.

"..they have at least one good player in each position and all appear to complement each other well." Seems to contradict "paper thin squad."

We don't need to play them but I certainly miss the derbies. They are the best atmoshperes by miles. In most seasons a derby would be the highlight.

"The football club is too nice, we treat the players too well. I don't know another club in League Two that has three physios that do massages left, right and centre. It'll stop." Massages left, right and centre - that's going too far. Strange club.

Enjoyed that more than the anodyne qualifiers. Always nice to beat Bonnie Scotland even if they are cr@p. Sensible change of tactics second half to press them high up the pitch. They play the right way but they're not grat on the ball and have no out ball nor anyone to hold it up, so fair play to Hodgson, or was it Neville. Still miss Lallana and Lambert from our side.

Wehey!

If AOC comes inside occasionally it will open up for Clyne to get down the wing.
