Sour Mash

Anyone else seen these Bournemouth adverts around the tube. http://m.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/13903824._Bournemouth_sizzling_hot_right_now____the_new_posters_Londoners_are_seeing_on_their_commute/.

Correct. Or thought it'd work like a touchpad.

Loads of people were struggling to get them to work.

Well that's clearly not how many are put on sale every game.

It was a joke getting in the ground last night. The club do need to look at access/egress issues around the ground.

There's not that many seats available now for games.

The thing is, for the other category A games that we have there are usually a fair number of football tourists that may have an interest in Saints, but are attracted by watching Arsenal, man City etc. Bournemouth just doesn't have the same draw for these people.

I thought Villa's away support was very good all things considered.

Plenty of seats left in the Chapel, can't see this one selling out.

How much of a strong line up did they play last night?

But somehow, bizarrely, those songs have become our most popular, the only ones that got going last night, that's nothing to do with lots of kids in.

Just checked and you're right, just 10% for away allocation.

I didn't state you were offering your "expert opinion". Your point seems to be that we shouldn't question or disagree with any decisions made by people better qualified than us; which kills 90% of posts on here, a weird attitude to a football forum.

Unfortunately you're probably right. It'll be interesting to see how the club price this, I'd guess at around Cat C League game prices, so circa £30-35 a ticket.

I know what your point was, you posted the above before anyone asked for your "expert opinion" (they were taking the p**s by the way). 99% of all things that happen around a football club are done by people better qualified than those on here, why is the situation with Ward-Prowse any different to anything else?

What a weird view to have a football forum. Just to clarify, you're saying fans on here cannot be critical of a single player picked by Koeman?

St Mary's needs a few more big cup nights under the floodlights, hopefully this is one for the future history books, proper cup tie atmosphere.

Liverpool have Bordeaux on the Thursday and Swansea on the Sunday before, both at home unfortunately.

Good to see kids getting a chance to go.

Crap game, crap atmosphere, job done. Why play Wanyama and Romeu against Villa at home? And did Pellè and Wanyama really need to play the full 90?

Does it matter? He's not going to have a career going forward with us.

I'd agree with that, but I guess two things; 1) His wages are too high for us to pay for a bit part player. 2) He wants to play more than being chucked on with most the game gone and we're just chasing. Is a shame all round, as he has got talent and he's not got the most out of it for one reason or another.

I don't think anyone wrote him off, let alone 'everyone'.

I'd definitely rest Wanyama, play Romeu instead.

Mane had just gone to close their other player, could just as much have been Bertrand's fault.
