Give him a break, he won player of the month today so he's on a guarantee tonight. Will be a dad again in 9 months 🤣

Fans of the HT relay, it's Christmas themed penalties tomorrow for some reason.

Fans do need to be up for it tomorrow though, big home game with 3000 full away end who will have had plenty of cans of cider on the train over, make a decent noise. Last home game for a month , surprised there are still quite a few tickets left particularly in Chapel stand , hopefully lots of late sales this evening and on match day. 

Disappointed by ticket sales again. Thought we’d sell this one out, good form, Saturday, etc etc.  

 

Hopefully over 30k

Bristol fans seem pretty pleased Sam Allison will be today's referee.

We'll be playing against 12 men from the sound of it, expect some early challenges on Scienza that will go unpunished

How on earth have we got a referee that used to play for the opposition? I'm pretty sure any affiliation with one of the clubs used to be against the rules?

It's bad enough when we have a northern ref when we play a northern team.

🎶 He's one of your own, the ref's one of your own
Sam Allison - he's one of your own. 🎶

Sing that loudly and clearly within the first five minutes and that ought to even things up a bit...

Blowing a gale and pouring with rain, I will be stood on the Galabank terrace today for the love of Southampton FC. Hoping for another double win! Surely it cannot happen 3 games in a row? All it will take is an away game when Saints are at home and that will end it! Maybe… 🤔

He's from Chippenham which every SaintsWeb forum contributor should understand is slap bang in the middle of the Southampton FC catchment area.

He's a red and white Saint to his fucking bones.
