with two of the more difficult games to come to keep that record going I think your timing of raising that is poor I just hope man City are still very much in with a shout for their second leg Champions League Semi and that a leicester win over Everton 7 May will totally deflate Spuds for our visit !

It never occurred to me at the time but yeah, **** em, that day at Highbury in '84 is one defeat I have never come to terms with, relegations, other semi final defeats, I have well and truly gotten over......but not that game. what goes around.......

This. Even in the glory years of the early 80"s when we were magnificent at The Dell it was a different story once they got on a coach and left Hampshire. if we win more than four or five away in a top flight season then it's a good record for Southampton. Having said that, yes Ron needs to drop Pelle and Tadic away from home and play players who can make us quick on the counter attack.

I suspect Saints are as fed up with the whole thing as the supporters ! So, 4.30, final answer or will it change to 4.37 just so Sky can fit in a bit more of Jamie Carragher talking horse **** ?

No it was 4.00, just checked, im sure those 15 mins will make the world of difference

it was going to be 4.00 wasnt it ? why the 15 minute time delay ? that is just plain bloody stupid !

That's hilarious, what a cock.

Good find, that's it then, if Man City are playing Tuesday 3 May in Champions League our game will be 5.30 Saturday evening. If they are playing Wednesday 4 May it will stay as Sunday at 4.00 !

Could be, we will know after Friday's draw. To be honest if Sky still want to show the game then because of the scheduling of other matches for TV it might not even be played that weekend, could end up a midweek game during the week of 8th May ? im pretty sure Sky and BT cannot show Prem matches at the same time and Sky have another game scheduled for Saturday 30th as do BT, one at lunchtime and one at 5.30.

yeah, who would have thought we would have an interest in the Champions League semi final draw

Produced by 442 Sports in Andover, do they use a skate printer then ? I thought the club had changed printers, hence the bigger magazine for the past couple of years.

Davis is injured

To answer your question seriously I dont believe he was our most overrated player ever. To me he looked quite useful, i know everyone talks about the goal against Derby as his finest moment but I remember his contribution against Barnsley the same season. Then he got injured, dropped out of favour and that was that. Who knows what might have happened but for that injury. Shame really.

thats right I forgot the anonymous letter and coin throwing act. Makes me shudder still to think of those days but my point is/was Lawrie showed how much during that period the club meant to him. Being of a certain age he will always be a hero to me.

It was the AGM after Lowe had come back to replace Wilde and co.and we had those two Dutch coaches in charge, for want of a better word. Crouch, McMenemy and many supporters all fired questions at Lowe that as per were just butted back with floaty non commital answers except for as many digs as he could get in at the Wilde regime. Incredibly some shareholders were still supportive of Lowe but it got to a point, and I can't remember now for the life of me what triggered it, but Crouch stood up, had a real go at Lowe, and walked out, followed by Lawrie, Mary Corbett and many others leaving just a few shareholders left. Cant remember what happened next exactly, I do recall many of the staff at the time coming up to Crouch and Lawrie almost pleading with them to do something to get Lowe out once and for all. Bad bad days, will be amazed if it's not in the book in some form. I have a feeling it was at the time Lowe replaced a picture of the cup winning team in the boardroom with a picture of a train, I know that ****ed off Lawrie big time.

Couldnt agree more. Can never understand people who slag him off, as you say comes across as a thoroughly decent man as well. Be be interesting if he says much about Lowe, I well remember Lowe's last ever AGM where Lawrie, Leon Crouch, Mary Corbett et al staged a walk out half way through in disgust. Those were the days, more drama and misery than in an episode of Eastenders!!

What questions are those then ? Prey tell......

Two words - Niall Quinn

So if this is to be believed Tadic isnt happy with treatment from the National team or his club then ? Umm, ok

Good result for Holland, well done Danny Blind......I'm thinking the bigger picture here with regard to Mr Koeman not being wanted if they start to do well again

Well you have answered your own argument there really, if ticket revenue is only 19% of total revenue - and that percentage will presumably be reduced further by the extra tv money - just knocking £50 off every season ticket wouldnt have hurt the club very much and made hardly any dent on their finances. I dont expect something for nothing, as has been said sod the beers and hot dogs, but in this climate of reducing costs for away support, which is excellent by the way, i think a clubs season ticket holders should also ALL be rewarded, not dependant on where they sit in the stadium. They must be confident Mane, Wanyama and co arent leaving cos when, or if, they do you can be sure the cry will go up "so we paid full price and STILL the players were sold" !

Mine hasn't been reduced just frozen, but disappointed at that to be honest, they should either reduce all or not at all !!

He may have been woeful but isnt his number of assists still the highest of any player at the club this season ?

I thought that when i saw him but to be fair he did shake the hand of just about every Saints player at the end, he didnt skulk off straight down the tunnel. Klopp did the same, waited for all our players to come off.

He ALWAYS looks miserable, from the day he joined the club, he just has one of those faces that doesnt do constant smiling. Think people are making too much out of it tbh, his expression rarely changes on the pitch.
