Sour Mash

How many league minutes has he played for them so far? Can't help that he's not first choice forward for them.

Don't think he's scored in Serie A this season. I don't watch that much of it, but thought he looked poor tonight (as did a lot of the Juve team to be fair).

That is his tweet from last week that you are quoting, it's not a new quote.

Why do we need to be the "only ones"? Red and white striped tops are Saints kit, hopefully we'll go back to that.

Just looks like a big spaceship from the outside like most of these modern, new ground mock ups and looks to be dominated by a big corporate middle tier inside. Italy, for a country so cool and so into it's football, it's got relatively few really good, iconic grounds.

Yes, it is possible, it will be possible for any team playing in the Premier League next season, but it is very, very unlikely and will hold little relevance to our season, unless we spend vast sums of money.

More sinister? Like what? Do any normal, sensible, grown up people genuinely get worked up and take things seriously that get shouted in football grounds? They're full of a load of old rubbish. What is this person supposed to have done? Started a rally of black shirts to march down to Stamford Hill after the game?

No, I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm saying I find it odd.

Not really, why?

I find it odd that someone would be offended by what someone shouts at a game of football, to the point where they feel the need to report him for arrest, yes.

But in reality, does anyone actually get offended by what some random bloke in the distance is shouting at a game of football?

Cheers, so a bit of a catch 22 at the moment, as we don't sell the tickets as fans are waiting for us to sell the tickets ha.

Did you speak to the ticket office? What did they say on it?

I thought Di Marizio was regarded as reasonably clued up? Can't see Chelsea going in for Lallana though, don't see that fitting at all.

Exactly. Assume he must be reasonably competent at what he needs to cover, the people that matter have had a chance to take a look at him.

No idea. Assume he may touch on a fair bit of Saints/MP related stuff as I think he knows him fairly well and I assume he's chosen Southampton for that reason.

Is anyone off here going to the Guillem Balague event in Southampton in a couple of weeks?

Looks to just be the upper tier on sale now?

Not winning once having gone one behind could raise question marks, but at the end of the day, points are points and are total isn't too bad at all.

What exactly was NC's "project"? What is the "project" at most clubs?

Each to their own, but I thought a 2-0 would have flattered us a bit, always felt Spurs were going to come back and was unfortunately proved right. Just one of those days, key injuries affected us a bit and Spurs seemed to actually perform how they should based on some of the players they have available.

Do you think we were in complete control in the first half? Really?

I thought they looked the better team throughout and their fans didn't turn on them at all, both a surprise. We really did miss Schneiderlin's presence.

Seems to lack focus at times. At least it might be less likely he'll get poached in the summer.
