Agree with most you say but Jack was a better player for us than Matt Oakley IMO.

There was a portly lad, Kevin Gibbons I think his name was, who played right back and came up from the academy. I have seen him at SMS playing for the first team not long after the Stadium opened. I belive somebody on TSW saw him cycling on a bike dressed white painters overalls in Verwood or somewhere not long afterwards.

I had to watch this at my daughters as we do not have BT Sport. It was poor and I left after the third goal went in for Italy. Greatly enjoyed the womens match on Monday though--they never gave up.

Fantastic.

What are Hodgsons reasons for picking Gibbs ahead of Bertrand too? The former does not even get a regular game for his club.

Their Tory MP's will not be happy about this either.

He is a skilful player too -much like Rickie was but more mobile. Would be good signing for us.

Socks and Knicks look ok on home kit. Pity socks were not white with red rings at top though.

The Cats Protection League are always looking for Homes for Cats and Kittens. They will worm, de-flea and newter them too before they come to you.

Mane and Long were so quick today it was breathtaking.

Why oh why do our fullbacks not get to the by-line and cross anymore.?Those high balls in just go nowhere. Trevor Francis was commenting on this with the match commentator.

Martin Cranie released by Barnsley. The move to the Skates did not do him much good a few years ago.

Perhaps the Charities are now making donations to the Skates from their hardship fund.

Well done to an important part of the whole Team at St.Mary's.

He has not played to full capacity in his last few games and does not seem to go around his man to get to the by-line to cross anymore. I think you are probably correct in that he is distracted by all the talk/negotiations.

Stachan used to enjoy thoses stupid journo questions at the press conference.

The DT today comments that Liverpool will ship out Lambert and Ballotelli with a few others at the end of the season. The move seems to have been a tradgedy for Rickie.

Mike Williamson has played a few games for Newcastle too. I think he came into the Academy from Torquay. I also seem to remember when the PA Announcer tried to intruduce him to the fans at the Dell, he forgot his name. He was later released by us and went on to Wycombe I believe.

Would agree although, from watching it on TV, I thought it would be a blimp. The drone was very smooth whilst broadcasting.

Glad this Board was represented. There some good names there Fitzhugh.

Rednapp and Merson agree with Lawro too as do the bookies.

Jose Fonte has been superb all saeson, not only in his all round play but his leadership on and off the field.

The idiots in the press still cannot get it out of their heads that we are not " li'll ole Sotn" any more. Hopefully by the end of the season they will,at last,wake up.

Really enjoyed that. Well done to all the lads who played so well for us.
