Saint Billy

Block 250. Not sure if thats good or bad but at least I'll see the game.

Couldn't get tickets for seating within saints allocation but luckily my son and me got a pair of tickets for Club Wembley. Anyone done this?, is there a dress code, etc. Gutted not to be in the saints end but at least my son and me are going.

Any groups drinking near St Pancras before heading to wembley?

If he is on a 100K a week I suspect it will only be temporary, otherwise there will be a lot of players knocking on Reeds door in the summer.

A lot of negativity on here. We desperately needed a replacement for VVD for the rest of the season, we now have it. Yes it should of been sorted before letting Fonte go, but its done now, lets move on!.

Agree with you.

God how we needed that result. What a little gem we have in Gabby.

We were one injury away from disaster when Fonte was allowed to go without a replacement in place. We have over relied on Vvd staying fit and have now paid for it. Fingers crossed that discretion will not be worsened by employing a CB with a terrible injury record. This is fingers crossed management at the moment which is contrary to the supposed Southampton way.

I don't fancy a tube up me botty!

Do we put him into the Injury Watch sticky straight away?

Blanks?

Ffs, I missed this, for once in a very long time I partly agree with you. All credit to you for being the eternal optimist but Puel is part of the big blunder, not all of it, that sits with Reed. Puels approach is too negative, coupled with the fact that he was ok with handing over many usual manager responsibilities to Reed, this tells me he is not up to the job. Also probably the reason why other managers with better pedigrees did'nt.

Les had to search hard to find a yes man, I don't think he will give up on Puel yet.

I really don't have a clue what you are banging on about.

Wish we had a player like that!

Unfortunately I can't see Les sacking Puel or indeed anyone doing something about Les.

Regardless, do you like the way we play?

Ahh, the old caital letters ploy!

I doubt if they have got xray vision.

I'd resign as DOF!

So we've signed a foward but failed to get a CB, I presume we are going with the tactic of trying to score more than we let in. That'll work

If we lose tonight that makes the Arsenal rotation a bigger joke than it already was.

God this is grim reading, no CB yet!!! with 4 and half hours left.

We have one of the tallest in goal atm, need I say anymore.

My elation is somewhat dented after that result. Today could have been a great day, a final and further progress in the FA cup, what an opportunity!. No better preparation for a big final than a string of good results. On Talk Sport after the win at Liverpool the pundits were saying that saints are going to be really up for the Arsenal game and brimming with confidence, like me little did they know that Puel was planning on putting out a extremely weak side with no chance of winning. What makes me angry is that if that team selection was made due to our injuries and the amount of games we have, why have we not strengthened the squad in this transfer window?, and as someone else has said on here, the squad put together this season was meant to cope with the extra games the Europa cup gave us but to most it is abundantly obvious that we do not have a strong enough squad to rotate.
