Has anyone received their tickets yet? Still waiting for ours. Bought them last Wednesday.

Same here, will travel from Nottingham for this one. Can't be as bad as the Koeman game can it?

These always make me laugh. "Sorry, I thought you were Phil Tufnell!" 😁

The times I've watched/seen live Lemina play, he has looked a cut above. Was at West Brom for his stunner in the 3-2 during the Pellegrino season. Always liked him and thought he would be a stunning signing for us. Such a shame it's not worked.

Needs to grow his hair long again. Our best players have had the longest hair: Glen Cotterill, Jannik when he joined joined and, of course, Alexander Ostlund. Jesus is our right back, Jesus is our right back!😁

Only watched the highlights, decent chances for us but lucky to only be 1 down at half time. Did think Mane was climbing over KWP for the goal though, holding him down.

Also, how the f*ck have the Prem messed up VAR so much. With so many examples that work out there and how easy it should be to make the right decisions, the 'officials' have still made it impossible for the right decisions to be made. The best time I've had at football in last 2 years is a 0-0 draw at Gainsborough Trinity. Well contested match and a shit load of beer. What a Saturday afternoon.

Just watched the 'highlights' and that was never...never a red card. Not even a yellow. Lost control but pushed the ball away to the keeper. If that is not recinded, we may as well let the Shit League... sorry...Super League take over and just move to supporting non-league teams, which is not unappealing to be honest.

Atrocious! Really poor. Our passing was abysmal and never really troubled them. Very disappointing.

P.S. Yes... slightly drunk. 😉

So, just watched the MoTD highlights. Very comfortable, more so than Adam and Dave made it sound live. Adams looked superb, what a player we've got there. Forster, you know what, I wish him the best and hope he becomes the next Shilton or Niemi for us because...I love him. He has been nothing but professional for us and deserves our respect and support. I truly think we have 2 of the 3 best English keepers in Alex & Fraser, we as Saints fans, are a privileged bunch with the players we get to support. Special mention to Bednerak who is the new M.Svensson, what a player! I want to highlight something that is important to me, and most of you, I'm proud of the way our club has behaved and conducted themselves throughout these difficult times. Straight talk, common sense and us, just being Saints...the greatest football club in the world!

Just before the first lock down, we travelled down for the Saints-Newc match we lost 0-1, with Djenpo being sent off. We had the BEST weekend down in Southampton (cheers Hobbit, Rockstone and Firehouse, great pubs!) and despite the loss, we felt positive. Now, we're over the moon. The Koeman years were great but this feels like something really special. Ralph is the right manager for a club like us. I hope he stays for many years because the fit is perfect and credit to the leadership for recognising this and sticking with him. Plus, whilst some people may have thought getting Theo back served no purpose, in actuality what it did was brought some emotion and feeling to a club who wanted to welcome him back, and he's a great footballer for a TEAM like us. There is room for sentiment in Football. It truly is a great feeling to be a Saints fan tonight. I only started supporting as a glory hunter in the 83/84 season. 😁

Bluegh and feeling sick, apologies folks.

Woy: Stick it to Wilfred, he'll do the rest! We've never heard of that sort of tactic before.

HOW ARE CRYSTAL PALACE DOING SO SHITTIN WELL WITH WOY! Shirley it is not THAT simple? I Love Saints but it is the same every new season. The last time I remember a good start to the season was under WGS, as we won a game.

Same here, love this blog!

So proud of this club! So proud to support the Saints. The best club in the world. They make me happy and I feel they are a true community club, which makes me even prouder. Long live King Ralph!

Jordy Clasie against West Brom in 2017. Scored a cracking winner, best game for Saints? Re-watching the highlights and it looks like Forster had a stunning game as well.

Thought today was one the the best team performances I've seen for a long while. So good, even Sharpie got involved to assist us. Great away day and really thought we looked a cut above for the majority of the game. Felt like we controlled the game very well. Even when they 'scored' I wasn't worried...maybe that was the beer! Feel like we're onto something with this Hassenhutl fella. :-)

Disagree about Vesti completely. Thought he played well and was directing a lot of our play. Won a lot of headers and made some decent clearances. Great team performance. Boufal and Djenepo were excellent.

Yes, I'm in Sheffield a few times a year for a few of the Hard Rock Hell weekends at the O2. Great selection of pubs and we always have an ace time. Was there a couple of weekends ago and visited our favourite haunts. Even got to Noodle Doodle for a lovely Malaysian lunch as well. Bonus! Shout out to The Dove and Rainbow that has managed to survive a threatened closure recently due to public pressure. Shame it's too far away from the ground to make it on Saturday otherwise I'd be popping in to support.

Last time we went to the Devonshire Cat (2018) is was less of a pub and more 'dine in' only really. Still a decent enough beer list but no where near as good as previous years. For me it's going to be The Sheffield Tap or The Rutland Arms.

Which pub? I'm attending the match on my own from Nottingham and would be good to meet up with a few Saints fans before the game!

Apologies folks, posted the link while at work and didn't have much time. Indeed it is the bloke in the Saints shirt behind the ball catcher. Our US invasion has finally begun!

Apologies for posting this here, didn't want to start a new thread on something so trivial. Someone just pointed me to this video on the BBC Sport website for a link to Saints: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/baseball/49084826
