My local team where I live! Have been to a few home league games this season, exciting times for them. Think I am right in saying they have never been this high before. 

My niece lives there and couldn't get a ticket so she paid for a live stream! She's also a U's fan (Cambridge..) so hoping for them too and keeps an eye out for Saints' results to say the right things to me. 🙂

Poor from the commentator. I was expecting him to work this into it: “ Lisa Stansfield, Gracie Fields, Cyril Smith , we’ve given your boys a beating ..” 

They probably don't need the reminder about Cyril Smith beating boys.

Chelsea v Leeds a bit boring after saturday ! Chelsea players put a bit of effort in for a change ( bet Liam is fuming) too many Chelsea players arguing the toss when penalised Neto one of the worst offenders , perhaps a few yellows would have sorted them out ? Leeds had the chances but not a reliable striker , Calvert-Lewin just not converting chances as at Everton . Overall a bit boring to watch Chelsea tippy tappy , can't see them beating City .

Leeds did Leeds things and chose not to win at Wembley, again 😅

Too much dramatics from the Chelsea players for my liking. Dropping to the pitch and thrashing about as if they had been shot. Pathetic. Refs want to dish out a few more yellow cards for the drama queens. Wasn't there some mention of a sin bin being introduced into football for the divers? I would hate to see too much of anything US based infiltrating our football but it might be what's needed. City will find beating Chelsea a sight easier than beating us.

Lad just did his ACL - unless there was a prior incident during the match, the Wolves fans calling him a wanker and a shit cunt seems needless and rather unpleasant

 

[Gloucester Saint]

Then again, based on other Wolves fan behaviours, probably not surprising. AA would be advised not to miss any sitters from 5 yards up there

Jeez. What happened to applauding off an injured player, indicating a hope for a quick recovery?

I believe Sholing are Division 7 and Winchester City Division 8.

Thanks.

Good luck to Winchester in their playoffs.

This presumably is the same Winchester club that Saints signed Terry Paine from.

I had a read about the club on Wikipedia. Interesting to see they were formed in 1884. Seems strange that Winchester had a football club before Southampton.

The thing with that is he's being take off (properly) so clearly he's injured. Hope he recovers.

 

Do bear in mind we see quite a lot of rolling around at SMS where people then miraculously recover, and they get a load of shit so (apart from the fact the lad's being carted away) there may be some people who equate a) with b).

 

This is not meant to exonerate anyone from Wolverhampton, btw.

Their fans up there with the bestest. Nathan publicly identified and criticised them for it.
