Pilchards

It never last month so I’m not worried.

I spent a few hours cutting a few up for the final we had in Wales. Security refused to let me bring it in as they did not fancy the clean up afterwards.

5.15pm kick off on the Saturday.

Leo as he puts the fear in any opposition team. Plus he’s a super human being.

The Ipswich forum is raving about us and are pretty worried that we could catch them. Got 3 threads about us from this evening alone.

Plenty of tickets spare for this one. No way even the loyal fans will want to do two or even three potential Wembley trips. With fuel going crazy on top of that.

I reckon the hold up could be us sorting out the rearranged fixture with Ipswich to be moved to a Wednesday and they are not happy. They have a midday game on the Saturday.

I just wished Tonda changed it to a back 4 straight away as everyone could see it was not working. Pretty sure it was someone upstairs insisting he played the Southampton way for around 7 matches.

Just a thought, if we did employ O’Neill as our new manager back then and we were flying like we are right now. Would he be the bees knees? 😀🤣😀

Pompey down to 10 men in their tie with Oxford. Never in a billion years is that a red card, no idea what the officials saw in that. The game has lost it.

Thought Tom Fellows was good tonight. Get him firing again stretches teams especially having Leo and Edozie smashing it on the left.

Got the subs spot on to keep the pressure on a weak Arsenal defence. The guy is becoming a genius in tactics.

I was in line with that and I even ducked. Proper limbs that night.

Took a piss on the Shea goal, gutted!! However my bet builder came in. Saints score first, Larin to score, Saints win, Saints 2 nil and Azaz shot on target and under 2.5 goals. Made up for it.

That guy used to fall down like a robot.

Something he does which is clever. On a point blank shot or header he goes behind the goal line which gives him a fraction of a second longer to try and stop the shot. You don’t see any keepers do that which surprises me.

What is sad for me is our guys had two extra games rest compared to Charlton and yet we couldn’t beat them at home. QPR will be tough while Sheffield Wednesday will be a doddle. Please start with your strongest team Tonda.

How come around 3k left on 90 minutes? Itchen almost totally disappeared in numbers!

Hope we sing ‘Let’s all laugh at Leicester.’ or ’3 nil and you fucked it up.’

I’m gutted. Was fuming at half time and I went out for a jog. Came back and the wife was laughing her head off. I feel like a jerk missing the fun.

No hold up player on the pitch and that’s why the midfielders are always back peddling. Archer and Jander have been fucking awful too!!

Thought it was 89! Yeah it must be bollocks.

Okay I stand corrected but I did check on what I thought was an official source. (Meta AI) How many penalties did Adam Armstrong score for Southampton Adam Armstrong has scored 21 penalties out of 26 taken for Southampton, with a penalty conversion rate of 80.77%.

When you think about Armstrongs scoring record then it’s 174 appearance with a return of 43 goals. 21 of those were penalties. With him in the team you have to play a different system because of his size. Now look how the team have been in the last few games (ignore Pompey as that was horrific) The target man is the one who brings the rest of the midfield into the game. it’s those midfielders who are the ones we are backing to get the goals. Fellows, Sceinza, Azaz, Jander and Ross himself. Ross we know can’t play the full 90 so this new striker is a like for like to allow us to carry on playing the same way. I think it’s a gamble but so was our new keeper and bloody hell hasn’t he proved many of us wrong after we saw his highlight reel from his previous clubs.

Yes it has been toxic and those leaving have been the main contributors. Fraser, Archer, Armstrong & Aribo to name a few. Believe it or not I found out that Flynn Downes is not one, he’s actually been good in the camp.
