We'll probably eclipse the 8-0 spanking of Sunderland. Watch out Arsenal.

Claus was day dreaming too when Henry ran past him in the first minute that's for sure.

Our last two managers have 'got rid' of us. Not us getting rid of them.

Or we don't have the demand for our current squad that we've had in the past. Adam Blackmore has as good a knowledge of the inside of SFC as anyone and he has reported that on multiple occasions this season both Bertrand and Redmond have had fall outs with Puel.

That was beyond dire. Absolute dross.

Puel or J-Rod?

Coleman's going to be out for a while so I guess that's where the interest comes from. Poor Everton fans don't know what they might be getting.

PEH was having a scan at the Wessex Nuffield on Tuesday evening.

Fools Day?

Don't linesman (assistant referees) normally position themselves on the left-side of the team defending in the half they are officiating? In which case he will have been obscured by Bertrand etc on this occasion. Or of course I could be talking twaddle.

If he was carrying an injury I think we would know. He would have most likely dropped it.

Two lapses.

Saints were superb. Our CB's, when we're otherwise brilliant, gave a little bit too much space when it counted and we were penalised. Mr Magoo the linesman won't sleep well the tonight.

There's 3 or 4 white options here http://m.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=southampton+fc+white+shirt&_pgn=1

I think maybe you're the one who needs to read what was written more clearly. I said 'you believe it's quite conceivable...' that he could play (or be involved) whereas there was absolutely no way a non-match-fit goalie (who doesn't need to know much about his team, team mates or tactics - in relative terms) should be on the bench.

You had a very strong opinion that Mouez Hassan shouldn't be on the bench as he wasn't match fit. A goalie. Yet you believe it's quite conceivable that a player who hasn't set foot on a pitch in a competitive game for a year, in an extremely key position of CB, who hardly knows the names of his team mates, let alone have built any form of understanding with them should play his very first game in a cup final? That's certainly an interestingly drastic change in view I'll grant you that.

Let's hope he has a blinder in the final. If he doesn't play in that then it really is a strange one. We're not going down, we're not going to make any of the European spots via the league and we have Gardos and Bertrand to play at CB if needed.

Not unless you're Pass the Dutchie. This loan signing smacks of Les trying to save face with his commitment to replace Fonte. Completely against the grain of the fabled Southampton Way. Seemingly no one else wanted to sign him but we're shelling out £100k per week till the end of the season, most of which will be spent getting him match fit.

No one said it was easy but it's his job. He messed up. End of.

Poch is the Manager, like Puel. Not like Les Reed. You understand that don't you?

Close but no cigar. He said 5-0 in the build-up thread but hey, who's counting! COYR.

I wonder who picks his wages up for him.

That hasn't been the case all season. The same as a good performance has often seen that player benched the following game. What's your prediction for tomorrow Pamps? I know you go for an 'easy win' normally 5 or 6 nil to Saints. You going for the same this week? I want to beat the bookies and I know you're normally bang on the money! Thanks!

My thoughts after seeing him have another injury were exactly that. But then I did a quick look-see at his appearances over the last 3 or 4 years and he indeed plays a fair amount of games. Maybe he's just been a little unlucky whilst with us.
