yep, but once he mentioned it that was it, no stopping them....although Watford's 8-0 at City got dragged into it as well just to even things up. If anyone had told me with six matches left we would be on 40 points and safe I would have phoned the men in white coats. Its one hell of a turnaround.

Walker Peters, Vestergaard and Smallbone all looked good but I thought Romeu was superb. If he’s going I wouldn’t bother anymore with PEH, look to next season now.

His ability to put OUR defence under pressure with pointless back passes

The thing now though is we have fairly quick forwards with Redmond, Ings, Long and Obafemi so instead of fannying about with it at the back we could actually put teams under pressure instead of giving them 5 minutes to regroup everytime we think about attacking. I’ve lost count of the number of times co-commentators/pundits/fans have said Southampton need to be quicker. It isn’t an issue away from home and it shouldn’t be rocket science to fix at home.

I thought there was for VVD at least. Doubtful for Mane, Lovren and Lallana.

Well Walker Peters has to stay in that team barring injuries now surely

Only Ings and possibly Armstrong looked any good. Valery is bloody shocking, surely KWP can’t be any worse

The capacity will be the interesting thing, even with a 1 metre social distancing that equates to every other seat and every other row or a V shaped pattern between people sitting in rows....however season ticket holders who live together or are in one of these bubble things would be able to sit together so that would add to the capacity. Nothing is straightforward with any of this and I would assume no away fans and very few if any non season ticket holders will be among those first in attendance when the red light for some spectators is finally given the go ahead.

Think Watford will be ok so with Norwich gone it’s any two from Villa, Bournemouth and West Ham for me.

😂😂 yes exactly

Yeah some teams have started off looking very ropey. For notoriously slow starters we were out the blocks very well.

It is indeed fair enough and I’m not sure by saying he’s not good enough to play for one of the big six is classified as turning on him. There is just the nagging feeling he will regret leaving when he spends most of the next few years sat on a rather expensive bench. But good luck to him.

The banner behind the goal states “Eddie Had A Dream” More like a nightmare so far

It’s not looking like Spuds will get away with using KWP as part of any deal for PEH if Valery is preferred unless it’s all a cunning plan 🤪

I saw somewhere....oh I think it was on Saints season ticket info......that there is a possibility of (greatly) reduced capacity in stadiums. If that happens I would think it will be like that until the New Year IF there is the concern of a second spike when we get into Autumn and early Winter.

I quite like that, at least we have finally lost that bloody ridiculous top/bra section

Yes, I think we will miss him, he’s found his level. He’s nowhere near top six signings.

Not that **** Jordan Ibe is it - hes been breaking lockdown rules allegedly.

What percentage does Kat still own ? Is it as much as 20% ? Never understood why she kept her involvement really, did she honestly believe this "next level" stuff and wanted to have a small part in that ?

On the wider scale, not just Saints, I was thinking the other day that any player who has a lucrative contract offer on the table should be agreeing to sign it straight away. They wont be getting anything like, or the vast majority wont, when this is all over given the financial hit every club has taken.

thats poor............even if ALL sales goes to the Foundation

yeah if true Mane wasn’t very bright, you would never want to rely on Wanyama to find you with a pass.

Have they mentioned what the knock on for next season will be? Presumably there is no way the new season would be able to start mid-August but, if things have settled down in 12 months they cant go on much more than mid May due to Euro 21.

Wow - good luck to him

I don’t see any reason for him to lie after the time that has passed to be honest
