You must either be a new fan or have a bad memory then.

I personally think the word 'interference' in the thread title should be changed to 'abuse' or better still 'sexual abuse'. The (alleged) perpetrators of these crimes don't deserve the courtesy of euphemism. It needs to be discussed honestly, clearly and directly.

I wonder if Puel will persist with playing him as a 'striker' or might try him elsewhere soon. We have looked more like 4-3-3 recently so maybe he'll improve.

I actually think some of Bertrand's deliveries recently have been just as good, if not better than JWP's. It's good to have a left and right footer to take them from different sides.

Hope Jrod doesn't start tbh. Would rather see Sims up there. Hoping the fact that Boufal came off earlyish at Arsenal means he might start here too.

I love the behind angle video of that pass where you can see VVD applauding the pass!

Indeed. Given the fact that we ultimately want to introduce as many youngsters into the team as possible, Puel really is our ideal manager. Interestingly, I read earlier that we have used the most amount by of players of any team in the league cup this year- 25.

Ronald Koeman take note.

This seems to happen a lot unfortunately- you just need to watch the recent Louis Theroux documentary revisiting Jimmy Saville to see a couple of examples. Perhaps people make some subconscious attempt to distance themselves from guilt they feel about not seeing it at the time. Or perhaps they're just ignorant and heartless.

Obviously a true supporter. Guessing quite a few of us would have seen him at games even if we didn't know him. RIP, 47 is way too young.

I hope we're practicing our set pieces because I can't see us scoring from open play.

I'd go with ------------Forster------------ Cedric--Fonte--VVD--Bertrand ------------Romeu------------ ----Hojbjerg--------Davis---- Redmond---Austin------Tadic

+1. Don't understand why they haven't done it before now. Would easily be the best selling shirt for years.

Not only this, but I'd argue that as the money from sponsorship and TV grows, income from matchday revenue becomes increasingly irrelevant. Though I suppose indirectly more fans means more investment from sponsors.

Pretty much the whole of the Northam, a lot of Kingsland North and Itchen North stand up anyway. I don't remember the last time I sat down during a game (except at half time). As for the Hillsboroigh worries, it's really not comparable now is it? For starters the electronic turnstiles mean that you can only get into the section your ticket is for. I don't really understand why people are against it. No one is going to be forced to stand if they don't want to.

This.

Michael Fialka?

My mistake, I read the tweet about the U18s! It's actually 11550.

1-2 down at HT. An attendance of 2655.

Front three of Tadic, Boufal and Austin would be good. Jrod and Redmond to come off the bench.

For now maybe!

How long is Cedric out for? Martina is doing a decent job but think Cedric could really progress under Puel.

Was literally just about to type that! Think that Ipswich goal was his only goal for us? Other than JPT penalties.

Can't argue with that. Did what we had to.

Ermmm no he's not.
