Been following the Ladies team for a while now and my biggest disappointment is we have entered too many cups. Prority should of been the league and these two matches against Oxford and Ipswich are massive. Not playing to the high standards of the start of the season but we are trudging along and gaining the 3 points.

Ralph is playing it all down by saying he’s picking a squad team. This way he’s hoping City do the same before he names all our big guns to start the match.

Every time I think City are going to hammer us I get a surprise. Nothing changes here…. 4-1 City for me.

What a load of shit. This is why we don’t have well paid players because they can’t win anything great. Opportunity to push on for Europe but we suffer three pathetic performances because they are heading for the beach already.

Down down - Status Quo for starters.

Not in a million years, Walcott’s best years are yet to come.

Which means if we beat City and get Chelsea our allocation should be 70k. Dont think we could shift those? PS I reckon many Chelsea supporters would somehow get hold of many of those.

Indeed as they’ve put themselves in too many cups which achieves nothing at the end of the day considering the top league is going from strength to strength. They can afford to draw both games vs Ipswich and Oxford to win the league if they win the rest of the games which should be possible as they are a class above the rest.

Maybe Valery might be a better option as he was class vs West Ham.

They packed the midfield to shut down the quick passing game of ours plus they took the risk to play more attacking football to hit us on the break and keep us pegged back. I could see it was never going to be our day after 20 minutes and I just hope other teams don’t follow the same pattern. PS Broja is a better option off the bench against tired legs.

Southgate was seen at the Red Lion at 8.00pm……!! However it was his double I heard, or was it?

What’s in it for Utd if they are going to give him back to us for two years?

‘He used to be shit but he’s alright now Adams, Adams!’

Maybe it’s time to make a song about it? ’We love, we love gel time.’ ’It is time, it is time to get gel time.’

Puzzling why Semmens said if Liverpool wanted to buy a young talent we wouldn’t stop them. Then he said Livermento to Liverpool, then he mentions Liverpool again. f**king obsessed with Liverpool arent we? Is this part of the Les Reed legacy or something?

Great thread. Always remembered Mike and naughty boys. Mike Osman, Big Dave plus 2 others who hardly said much. Can’t remember who they were but it was a good warm up show for the game.

The big clubs know we will sell them on. Not for peanuts I hope!

Team of the week. Gareth ‘Knob’ Crooks is f**king obsessed with Liverpool. Maybe it’s time the club needs to let him know he’s overstepping the mark. Tottenham in midweek, producing two excellent assists. I've been singing the praises of this gifted midfielder for some time now, and his performances for Southampton only seem to get better. I don't know what Liverpool are waiting for - he's made for them.

Thoughts are with Minsk and his family. Always sad to lose a Saints fan especially one that was heavily involved on this forum.

f**king hate them and I expect to read somewhere that Richarlison has not scored for 10 games. He’s another one like Son who always scores against us.

Last two games we’ve had two obvious free kicks in the JWP area but the official has waved on. Surely for us it’s a benefit to have the choice of a free kick. Whats the solution as you could see Broja never wanted to play on.

And if it was 4-1 you wouldn’t see one comment in the press about how good we were but more how poor United played.

Plans for an extension plus a fans village. Also starting to get a few promising players in for this season. Looking good Hampshire.

Ross Wilson used to be with us if I remember rightly. Does anyone know who we have as his replacement, is it Semmens? This is Ramsey talking about joining Rangers. ‘I have had some fantastic conversations with the manager and Ross Wilson, and I’m really looking forward to working with both of them, and to meeting the supporters.’

You just know Woods, Howe and Burn will be flogged off next season when Newcastle survive. Really starting to dislike them!
