Dark Munster

Maybe it's because he took over a team in a complete mess, flirting with relegation, massively adrift from the top, and took us to 4th (including that unbeaten run), comfortably into the playoffs, (and not far off the autos), as well as knocking two PL teams (including the champions) out of the FA cup, taking the billionaire eventual winners all the way in the semifinal at Wembley? Don't forget, we wouldn't have been kicked out of the playoffs if he wasn't the manager because we almost certainly wouldn't have been there in the first place.

The ruddy cheeked bastard knew that was total bullshit. He just spouted that crap to disguise the fact that he maliciously took us into administration days after the deadline for the -10 point penalty to carry over to the next season if we went down without it.

Sweltering 95F in Rome, only 82F in Southampton. Easy choice.

HITS?

Bazunu, Downs, and ... hmmm Can you give us a clue on the other one or two?

BBC Radio Solent Saints fans forum 7th August 6pm Looking forward to it. Anyone here going?

Flynn Downes: "Southampton will win the league!" FA: "Hold my beer."

Sounds like a splendid place, and a team I should follow too.

MLG mode on: I play blackjack and look at everyone else’s cards to keep count. Since I am trying to beat the dealer only, not them, it's not cheating.

If that happens he'll take us by surprise as well.

You get what you pay for. Just sayin’!

Or behind a tree.

Harsh, he made some good saves. TT is 100% to blame for this meek surrender.

Germany - Argentina 1990. The worst ever. Two crap teams, neither deserving to win it. The current Spanish team at least is top class.

Evening Major. Now on to the football match ....

You mean him getting sent off tomorrow? I doubt it, he has matured a lot from a few years ago, his yellow has been wiped out, and won't want do anything stupid that would make him miss the final (if we get there).

If I were you I wouldn't worry about tomorrow's match. If you can beat Spain I doubt you'll have much problem beating either the Argies or us in the final.

Maybe a message to the FA in their ongoing Tonda investigation, if he had been bullied why would sign a permanent contract with us?

Midwest and East outdoor stadia in the US, definitely. The AC ones are fine of course, as well as here on the West coast where June/July weather is usually fine.

I wouldn't say no if we could get Mbappe, but given the choice I'd prefer Haaland.

Yes, I was waiting for someone to bring that up. You don't mention how well we did in previous shootouts under his charge, in stark contrast the the pathetic ones prior to him. Also being 100% prepared doesn't guarantee 100% success, otherwise if you meet another well-prepared team it would go to 100 or more successful penalties each.
