Sour Mash

Not sure how true that is, considering we've not seen one mention of it previously anywhere.

Stoke aren't the best team in the world, but doubt they're bad enough to make a defender go insane.

Don't think anyone thinks it's an easy tie, just could have been a lot worse. I don't particularly rate your side, but you've developed the very handy knack of scraping out results, something we could learn a little from. Do you think you'll be resting many players for the cup game?

Chelsea result did me out of £40 from my acca. West Ham fans celebrating at the end like they'd won the FA Cup. Paul Lambert fancying his chances of catching us. Frustrating that we're so far off Spurs in terms of points, despite them being so average at times and having crap like Villa getting closer to us.

The only bad thing about this deal is he gets so well rewarded for being a c**t.

Not sure what difference free travel would make - half the people that do away games like Sunderland don't live near enough to Southampton to use it, and many will simply be put off my the early start and length of journey. Free match ticket would be nice though.

That was my over-riding impression of his game from last night - lost count of the number of times he jumped into our players while they were trying to head the ball, with no attempt himself to play the ball - don't think the ref once gave a freekick.

It is an interesting idea. I'm just saying there is nothing to sugest this is particularly likely to happen based on the reports so far.

I'm not sure what his sources are, but the author doesn't look particularly ITK?

None of them seem all that likely to me. In the past we've had pretty concrete speculation leading up to a deal being done, with the exception of Boruc and Lovren.

The Bricklayers is a quality pub, will get packed closer to kick off though.

The only thing I guess to bear in mind is that in theory these tickets won't let you break your journey for a beer anywhere other than Putney?

Is the deadline for loan deals the same as perms? We will need to get a move on to complete any deal at this rate.

Can only echo what most others have said, cracking game of football and excellent performance from us, particularly in the first half, great to see so many of the academy players stepping up for us. Bit frustrating we didn't get a win. Never thought you'd see so many buzzing Saints fans after a draw keeping us very much in midtable, but there is definitely very much a feel good factor about the club after tonight.

Can walk between the neutral and away end, so can just move from one to another to stand with mates.

Why not? What law says we can't? We'll probably be making it clear that if he didn't go along with any transfer the club agrees we'll hit him for every penny we can.

What? I've just got his name and number on the back of my home shirt

The 15.22 from Tottenham Hale gets to Stansted Airport at 15.55, or the 15.37 gets there at 16.12. What time is your flight?

You're kidding? If a game has to be moved, they're by far the best time possible.

Trying to read between the lines in the quotes from today's press conference, sounds like Osvaldo is most likely to go this month, but nothing is 100% decided yet.

Fair enough, I must have missed that, a good start if he's genuinely apologetic.

It is obviously not a fake account. And what picture of the Southampton background? And what apology note?

89/90 probably my favourite season of all time, brilliant matches week after week, always liked CN, he got a raw deal at the end of his time with us.

They don't do free booze at weekends I think.

You sure about the free booze?
