Win this and we're second

Been back at the club since January as player transition coach. Had no idea https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/26652366.lallana-starting-coaching-journey-back-southampton-fc/?ref=rss

R u ok hun?

Ooh, new iPhone 👀

It's a bit sad that someone of your age and profession has a constant need to troll on these topics.

We did 👍 (I realise you're joking, but worth remembering this run before our unbeaten streak)

Is this three sub window still a thing? We had four on Wednesday.

JWP killed Baird's cat or something so he had an axe to grind.

Meghoma lost today

The opposing view: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/cw073gnez9gdt?post=asset%3A32a6d64a-d344-471d-bad5-a52d2a2c1082#post Nothing particularly revelatory – a boring and professional interview. He says they're the underdogs. They seem to have a ton of injuries to key players. No digs.

Was just about to post something similar. Hadn't seen the Peretz/Azaz/Manning angle referenced anywhere during the games, so I thought it was very insightful.

Sounded like Louise Taylor, the Guardian's North East Correspondent. Was critical of us in her articles at the time. Comes across as a peculiar character – like, just really odd. Saw lots of negative comments from Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesborough fans towards her reporting.

Just to be clear, Simon Jordan isn't a friend of ours (he's a professional contrarian who clearly hasn't read the full findings) but this is interesting regardless. Interesting bits about his mate Gibbo:

Don't worry. Our fearless leader's already on the case with more likes that Winter's tweet:

Yeah, sorry. I originally linked the live broadcast (6:07pm) but the programme changed. Thanks for correcting

I'm just really pleased for Tonda. He's in his early 30s – whole career ahead of him – and been through an unimaginably awful time. In public. With the outcome costing his employer £100M plus. During a time when he's just had a baby and is perceived as the worst villain in football. And, from reading the FA findings, all because of cultural ignorance. Nothing malicious. Cheers to Tonda 🍻

Thanks. I'll get back to my rock

Wow, that's a great find. I can't see how that's not factored in, given they reference his "previous good record" in that case.

Well that was a spectacular fail... Sorry all!

Injured* https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/26602181.southamptons-matsuki-miss-five-championship-games-asian-cup/?ref=rss *in the sense that he's not injured but may be unavailable next year

You say that as a joke (perhaps), but I think that is actually the situation.
