The Southampton Way? Just a load of bland UEFA A licence tossers that look and dress the same trying to reinvent the wheel with buzzwords but actually not having any idea of how a playing identify manifests itself.

I genuinely resent the club. Can't stand the squad, the coaching staff, the foundation, the academy. It's rotten, we're just a company with a trade mark. Hasn't felt like a football club for years.

Worked the game today. Bolton fans in decent voice, couple renditions of OWTS. The famous atmosphere they lapped up after Tuesday was completely missing today.

My god I’m going to be a complete **** in work tomorrow.

Like the line up. Thought we would have gone for Vestergaard to deal with potential long ball to Hawkins (if he plays). Allegedly kicking off already near the station.

Building slowly down here. Weather has done a complete U turn as it stands. Rumours of Naylor being out but Harness may make the squad. No idea if Hawkins will play CB or ST. If he starts, expect them to line up 4-4-2 and play on the diag.

Currently right in the dragons den at the moment. Chomping at the bit this lot and a very weird vibe down here already. I'll be finishing the day early and watching the game at home. No way I could've sat in amongst them for this.

Transfer rumours just aren’t the same anymore, use to love picking up the News of the World and reading the gossip column or teletext page 338. Linked with Scott Dobbie and Matt Piper and never more than a £5 million fee. Which ‘nearly man’ would you have liked to see join Saints? For me I was gutted we never got Oliver Bierhoff.

Interesting reaction from their training ground this morning. Very excitable bunch.

If that lot want to pay my mortgage, crack on. Usually win, win for me. If they do well, so does my pay packet. If they don't, I have a good laugh.

All of their players tweeting about it. Pretty cute.

I’m ****ed. I work for them.

If that's a booking, football's gone.

Any other streams?

If anyone has any that they no longer want/need (or accused of hoarding by the missus) Would happily take them off your hands for a small project!

Would love to see what Valery's turn over rate is? When he first came on the scene I noticed he had a habit to play 'first time' in a number of occasions he didn't need to.

Pretty excitable post. Absolute ********. Gunn's decent.

Absolutely ****ing disgraceful.

To be fair postponing the game is the right decision, the city is gridlocked when it comes to Victorious. Interesting that some money has been spent on the stadium, brand new pitch, new roof on the stands (cladding) and lick of paint.

Beat me to it, the loannee from Sheffield United

Very highly respected coach amongst UK based Gk coaches. I’ve magpied a lot of his ideas and methods.

Andrew Sparkes leaving Orlando Pirates, might be something in this.

There's a reason The FA was very happy he left.

This! Contributed to Joe Harts demise too!

Much more to it than 'match winning saves'. Our ball retention and play rate figures have increased since Gunn was introduced and less goals conceded (granted a reduce number of games played). Macca is fantastic at blocking and defending the goal, very problematic with shots from in and around 18 yards.
