Lighthouse

I remember circa 2003 when we had Never Mind the Buzzcocks followed by Little Britain on BBC2. Back when both were still good (before Lamarr left and the first two series of LB). Same era as Phoenix Nights and the second series of I’m Alan Partridge. Probably half the reason I never did my homework.

Can’t claim any ITK insight into Corden but I saw a behind the scenes feature of a movie he was in (think it may have been Three Musketeers). Among a collection of attractive Hollywood A-listers he didn’t half try hard to play up to his loveable, cheery, fat-boy persona. As for Blackadder - 2, 4, 3, 1 IMO. Love Miranda Richardson’s portrayal of QE1 and Patsy Byrne’s Nursey. Also Rik Mayal just stole every scene he was in in 2 and 4 IMO.

If only we could be more ambitious like Leicester and hang on to our best players.

I’ve never really watched G&S but my sister was just sat next to me watching an episode on her laptop and as a comedy it completely passed me by. Even stuff I find appalling like Miranda, I can sort of see where the jokes are and why some people might enjoy it but G&S I just can’t see it. Maybe I’m looking at it the wrong way and it’s just supposed to be a light hearted romantic drama.

I feel a much better strategy would be to show some ‘genuine’ concern for Bournemouth and say you hope they don’t go down because they’re a nice local club.

At St Mary’s.

I know you like to see the best in our young players and I honestly find that admirable but up until literally the last two games Stephens has been consistently substandard. I wouldn’t say I’ve slated him but I’m a frequent critic and I don’t feel embarrassed. Fair play if he has a good game and long may it continue but it does nothing to change the last three years.

No, the plastics are the Arsenal fans who can’t stomach a season of being midtable.

FFS Saints, I’m actually starting to care again.

At 90+3 I started to believe we might hang on.

There are other mods? I thought I’d got rid of them all a coup d’état a few months ago. Oh well, merry Christmas soggy!

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!

Which is really just a way of saying he isn’t good enough. He’s a championship player.

There is no resurgence IMO, we've just played the only three teams in the League as bad as us in the last five games. We were terrible against West Ham when he started and managed to throw away a good result at Newcastle too. If he has a block, he has had it his whole career at this level. I'd sooner start Adams personally.

Give it a rest. In isolation I don’t care but you do nothing but b*tch and whine about other fans and posters. I’ve just clicked on your profile and even since you came back all your posts have just been a dig at someone. Come up with some actual opinions about actual football or log off.

Basically he was only really famous for something that happened 53 years ago and nobody younger than their mid sixties will really remember that World Cup.

We must be watching different players. They looked hopeless in our last game against West Ham.

No, we hate Liverpool because they have a massive sense of entitlement and delusions that the whole world likes them because of their amazing history and wants them to win the league. Tapping up Van Dijk didn’t really help and we don’t like him, Lallana or Lovren for basically going on strike to force a move. Mané, Clyne and AOC most people are indifferent to and Lambert people actively wanted to succeed. P.S. nobody gives a sh*t about the world club championship.

Well f**k me with a great big pole, we’re out of the bottom three at Christmas! Maybe there are three slightly more appalling teams (again) after all.

Just setting us up for a spectacular second half collapse. Not getting my hopes up yet I’ll go with snowboarding.

There's a chance to vote for this on the OS but well worth a thread for some of the absolute belters. Nominate your top three for 'best moment' and 'best quality Best Moment 1) Gabbi's equaliser at Wembley. Absolute limbs for a good minute. 2) Lambert at Fratton. 3) Long at Anfield (probably would be second if I'd been there) Best quality 1) Martina vs Arsenal 2) Osvaldo vs Man City. Utter helmet though he was, that goal was something else. 3) Pelle vs QPR OS Link https://www.southamptonfc.com/goal-of-the-decade

No. Nothing previous teams have achieved is any excuse for the hopeless garbage we’ve had this season.

No doubt. We won’t be getting it though.

The fans didn’t take to him because of what was on the pitch. He spent preseason trying a bizarre formation with Austin and Redmond as wide forwards and Tadic as a number 10, which didn’t work. The first game against Watford was uninspiring and we only scored once from a corner. The next was Man Utd where we just never looked like causing them a problem. Under Adkins we may have lost against Man Utd and City but we were ahead until late in both games and really gave them a problem. Every game against big teams under Puel was just sit back and defend, if we’re 1-0 or 2-0 down it’s okay, that’s a safe, non-embarrassing scoreline. I can only speak for myself, if other people were really upset by interviews then that’s their prerogative. I just didn’t like watching the football.

That doesn't mean they wanted him sacked because of it. Loads of people were slagging off Diane Abbott because she worse mismatched shoes and on the wrong feet, doesn't mean that's the reason Labour lost the election.
