What do you think his experience and presence contributes in the dressing room?

Stephen Davis is a great player if he could shoot better he would be an all time great.

I can only agree with you but that situation is amplified with the EU. Of course the UK gets less than they put into the EU and there are not 27 member states to make decision making slow and ineffective. Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland receive more than they put into the pot so that is one difference. Culturally we are more aligned - you support an English football team, you spend the same money, the war memorials in your villages bear the names of the same conflicts, you speak the same language. Ultimately if more people had voted to remain in Northern, Ireland and Scotland we would have remained in. In 2005 we had a labour government, made up of a lot of Scots who were put there by the votes of the Scots and the Welsh. The English voted Tory.

It is all rather unsettling but a Scottish referendum is not going to help. Most Scots don't want it because it was a very divisive and unpleasant process. The vast majority of Brexiters did not vote out because they are little Englanders; 44% of your compatriots voted out, nearly 40% of Scots and a majority of the Welsh. They voted out because the EU is dysfunctional, inefficient, financially unaccountable, undemocratic, dictatorial and because they were concerned that you can sign up for unlimited immigration. As regards supporting Saints, I think it is great but if I lived so far away I would probably follow a more glamorous team. My taxi driver in Belfast a few years ago told me that there were two types of supporters there, Manchester United and ABU's.

Wow! The most chilling response ever! GM's comment warranted a response but that?

Really?

When Pochettino went to Spurs and we lost all our players; we were a crisis club. Jose Fonte played a large part in keeping the remaining team together. The reason I suspect why Osvaldo lamped him was because it was him that gave him stick for not having the right attitude. He was a talisman and came up through the divisions with us. I think he was verging on becoming a legend.

I find it very sad that such a Saints legend is being ridiculed by our supporters. I also think it every bit as sad that he opted to push for a move. Once again naively I thought he was different and loved Saints enough to stay. Should the club have been so hard nosed? They probably didn't like they way he manoeuvred the situation in the summer with his agent. Otherwise they might have said here is the generous deal and we would like you to stay on and get involved in the coaching at the end of his career.

I think it was Cassells and Hebberd went the other way

I would rather have the choice!

He is a good goalkeeper. Probably if he was as useful as you would hope he would end up leaving. I would think he is also a good influence in the dressing room. Back him don't undermine his confidence.

We expect far too much. We can finish in the top 6 and have our best players and manager poached or we can settle for mid-table. Hopefully Puel can stay for a long time and we can create a competitive club with a good atmosphere and stability. As today has demonstrated, a good cup run is and always used to be our aspiration. People calling for the managers head when we are mid table in the most competitive league in the world and have been to a cup final is barmy!

I am not sure it has been particularly helpful for Juncker who has decreed that no negotiations can be held until Article 50 has been triggered to be mouthing off like this. I think it increasingly suggests that the EU is going to use the Brexit bill as a deterrent to others having recognised that nobody will gain from a hard Brexit. What do I know though, I thought we would get another vote after another renegotiation! I think we all acknowledge that we will have to pay for the Kinnock family for another thirty or forty years but apart from that most of our commitments should be offset by the £158billion in assets that we should have a share of.

I think that ultimately the Brexit bill will be the key tool used by negotiators to discourage others from leaving the EU. A sizeable sum will be quite a deterrent for others to leave and that will give more flexibility to ensure that existing trade is not disrupted. Nobody will win a trade war and if they are pragmatic the EU will know that.

Should have played Fabrice and ignored the 6-1 defeat at Highbury!

We could sell out three times over I would think. I would probably know of 50 people who want tickets but cannot get them.

I remember black market tickets for cup final were £300 in the Arsenal end and a £1000 for the Saints end in 2003. I think you have to consider the fact that if everyone bought tickets in the first week the system could not cope

I was not good on Brendan Rogers but I like Klopp. I cannot get the image of Liverpool fans clapping Matt when he scored a good goal in the 90's out of my head. I respected them for that.

Did Craig Maskell score another one after Liverpool in February 1994? Franny only scored one goal for us.

He seems to have a lot of affection for Saints from what I read about Sam. I would suspect that it is agents trying to get a better deal on the table.

Loved it. Referee in fairness had a nightmare!

I think that hinges on just how much of a stake she maintains. I like her and really hope that she keeps a controlling interest and not the 15% that has been touted.

I would be disappointed if he didn't if only to support the team

Thanks Marc. I suppose it is a Wednesday night.

How many have we sold?
