Sour Mash

Will the whole Liverpool squad wear t-shirts supporting him again? Got to be worth a minute's silence and a few more banners on the kop at least.

I've seen him play a couple of times now. Doesn't look an improvement on our current CBs at all.

Is that directed at Martin Hunter based on his comments? What level of performance would you expect from a 24 year old that cost several million £s?

He'll live. On a conspiracy theory basis, could this be a chance for our academy team to experiment with new training methods/approaches on this lot, rather than our first choice academy lot.

Exactly that. They've got away with it in my eyes.

You're right, there were never any mass "Redknapp OUt" protests. Branfoot always got far more stick than he deserved.

Looking on twitter yesterday, Saints official account was "retweeting" people who had been boasting about getting tickets for the Stoke game, I clicked on one of those people retweeted and his bio described himself as a "Kopite", sums up the modern Premier League experience really.

Didn't Lambert pretty much drop out of football at one point? DJ Campbell? Ian Wright? Having said that, I'd imagine academies are sharper than ever these days, can't see too many future stars coming from this. I actually think this is as much to do with creating a Southampton brand of doing things a bit differently, than actually be a realistic source of future Prem players.

Exactly that. Plus Bayern had lots of little 50/50 decisions go their way. Pity Messi didn't get in the game more, definitely not fully fit.

You're right it doesn't work, but it's not stopped them advertising how many points you get when buying each ticket. Why couldn't they have at least done what they do for big away games and make it you have to have been to 5 previous home games or whatever?

I'm not sure how many you've eaten to date, but they're not actually cakes.

I take it the points/priority system for tickets wasn't used for this. Bit unfair if that was the case.

At a guess, they'll go on sale late June, add about £50 to most adult season tickets.

Brilliant day out, plus one of those games that will go down in Saints history.

Is it just me or has Gayle really kicked on in the last couple of years and started these ridiculous knocks.? Know he's always been a good batsmen, but he seems to have stepped up a gear in the last few years.

It is not irrational or absurd at all? Are you proud of the football club you support and it's history? Are you proud of older members of your family and the things they have achieved?

Right, yeah know the seats you mean and also remember when we used to have that seats along the segregation.

Bit of an obvious question, but I take it that means Saints have got block 43 for this game?

So you don't think it is a great nation? And you think that any country that has such things in their history shouldn't be proud of their country?

That's what I thought - 2.5k is still good for that distance on a Monday night on sky.

What has that got to do with St George's Day?

Don't think there were many empty seats in the Everton section that night.

Think you're right actually. So two away games in ten years, still a weird way for it to pan out.

Charlton away in 2004 is the last time we had an away game as the last game of the season.

Burnley at home when we got relegated, Southend at home in Pardew's season.
