well yeah obviously, I sat through it all thanks very much.

It really annoys me that the National media and people like Fergie, Redcrapp etc are slagging off Blackburn fans for their protests against Steve Kean. Unless they actually physically attack him which would obviously be going too far they are entitiled to their views as they pay their money to watch that crap every week. The local paper has picked up on the tone of the supporters and they are not calling for him to be given another chance. This all reminds me very much of the Branfoot days with protests before, during and after games, sit down demonstrations in the car park etc etc. Only difference for me is that Branfoot looks like Bill Shankly compared to Steve Kean.

Yeah but lets not let facts get in the way......hey didnt Lallana miss quite a few games last season ? Get him out, just incase it happens again ;-)

Yeah lets ship him out, just in case he gets injured again......FFS

You didnt see the start of the show then when he said coming to Southampton as a 15 year old was the best thing he could have done and how he learnt his football education here then ?

Claridge was, as he has been all season, pretty fair about us, if anything a bit flattering towards us.

He's BBC's Formula 1 guy I think.....so I guess they are trying to find something else for the pillock to do. Not sure football is gonna be it......reminded me of someone who had been to Adrian Childs School of Presenting.

No Chappers tweeted that it was frustrating watching from home.

Whoever we sign I hope we get them at the start of January and not the 31st. We womt get away with being a bit threadbare in some postions for much longer.

As per J Sibley's tweet Connolly is very close (in other words back for Palace), Chaplow is training (ditto Palace) and Barnard is out for 2 months

Apart from the fact the main camera appeared to be in Southsea, the two commentators were clueless, the presenter was a class A cock and they showed replays when something was going on I thought they did quite well ;-)

West Ham, Middlesbro, Hull, Leeds, Birmingham, Brighton and Blackpool not withstanding of course. Not many teams are as **** at home as they were today, they wanted one point and they got one point. The celebrations from them at the end told you as much.

Totally agree, you can tell with Guly what he's going to play like in the first 15 minutes usually. Had NA more faith in De Ridder I'm pretty sure Guly wouldn't have been on the pitch to NOT defend that corner.

So if you apply that same logic to Saturday 3.00 kick off there isn't a problem, they would all be out of the city by 5.30 - 6.00.

So Friday 30th December would probably, being the eve before New Years Eve, fairly quiet around the city centre, certainly more so than the usual Friday nights I would think. So good old Hampshire Constabluary decide to change a football fixture that will bring an extra 20,000 plus into the city, therefore giving them two busy nights in a row ? Genius.

Oh the bloody Police again is it ? Perhaps we should all go to the game in a bubble Doesn't seem to be an issue for just about every other Police Force in the country !!

I would like to see us play at a higher tempo like we did at the start of the season when we were playing superbly. The last few weeks we have played at a slower tempo and I dont think its coincidence we have gone off the boil since doing so.

Its not that many years ago it was sung at the right speed - whats so difficult about it ? The slow version is like a funeral march, the fast is manic.......and yes it does annoy me that Spurs sing it. The only thing Lowe got right - North London yobbos !!

So do I.

If we come through our bad patch, which every team has, and we are still in the top two I shall be very very happy. Press the panic button, if you must, if we drop down to 7th or 8th not when we are 3 points clear at the top.

Lambert, Chaplow, Lallana and Connolly

Seriously ? Fox was awful today, as someone said in another thread there were too many Hollywood passes to the other side of the pitch, he wont pass to Lallana etc etc. If Fox must play then please dont play him when the opposition have a decent winger cos he never gets anywhere near them defensively. I have seen very little from him to suggest he is that much better than Harding. And all this talk about Lallana carrying his injury....i think the bottom line is the two players he plays with the best, Connolly and Harding are not playing for different reasons and I think its affecting Adam's performance.

I must have missed something, I didnt realise he had such a bad game on purpose........ffs

FWIW I think Lallana misses Connolly, they seem to be on the same wavelength.
