That didn't go down well here in south Wales, we'd just moved here then and some ridicule down the local pub was endured.

I don't disagree, watching his presser yesterday was comedy gold, but like you very glad he's not out manager.

I’m glad he’s not our manager, but I think Jones is great in this regard, the more characters in football the better.

This is more than once now I’ve seen slander like this about Fernandes supposedly not performing as well in the PL this season. Appreciate it’s not so obvious for us now we’re not seeing him each week but he’s been superb for West Ham.

The criticism of Jones is about him being a twitchy mentalist. You can't go around making claims about being the fittest man in the world and the best manager statistically and say bizarre things about staying in Wales with a girl from the valley and not expect a bit of criticism. The man is a walking box of frogs.

Yep, clearly states 'full allocation' so suggests that's it. If we sell that quickly it's hard to believe Fulham wouldn't offer us more as seems a bit daft to potentially leave another 1,700 seats unsold unless they're willing to just hold them back to see if there's demand from the home support. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/fulham-vs-southampton-fa-cup-2526?dm_i=7KYR,2JGEZ,16SG1Q,5J227,1,0,0,0

Just had email 4211 tickets full allocation on sale to the usual crowd next week

Of course, the US does not implement wny form of protectionism in support of it's domestic industries.

My respect for Tonda will rise if he plays Jelert at LB instead of Manning. Who is going to partner THB if Stephen’s is out? I don’t rate Wood; Quarshie?

Various conspiracy theories doing the rounds. Apart from being murdered rather than suicide it has also been rumoured that he was sprung from jail and is now living in Tel Aviv. Apart from that it is now being rumoured that Ghislaine Maxwell has been replaced with a body double.

Theme

Yes agree - we have had better than our current best in recent times. And for me that includes Scienza, who has been great but I doubt would cut it in the Prem (he's not better in his position than Fernandes or JWP or KWP were in theirs). Jander maybe the best bet to go higher.

Interesting that Tonda mentioned that Jelert can play at left back unprompted in his press conference. Wonder if we’ll see him there today.

So basically Trump is saying to the EU you have to stand on your own two feet, but you still have to buy our weapons. https://militarnyi.com/en/news/usa-warns-eu-consequences-rejecting-weapons/

Yeah, Ipswich have two games in hand too. No way we finish above them. Millwall won't lose enough games either. I'm a bit torn on the Pompey thing. Had we have beaten them this season I'd love for them to get relegated but part of me wants them in the league again next season so we can (hopefully) beat them.

Hmm... Over the last few seasons we've had a few players who've really stood out in the Championship and at the bottom of the Premiership and have moved on - JWP, KWP, Ramsdale and Fernandes. None of them have convinced since returning to the Premier League. Three of them are likely to finish the season at clubs that will be relegated and Ramsdale has been number 2 at Newcastle. I don't think the players you mention are any better than those who have moved on from us, in fact, with the possible exception of Scienza, I think they stand out less in the Championship.

Yeah probably 29k. Charlton have sold roughly 2,750 so not a bad following from them , they'll have to navigate the bus replacement services from Eastleigh as well

Completely agree, Jones was headhunted by Saints and we paid Luton a fortune to get him, he was the wrong appointment but the criticism for that is with Rasmus not Nathan Jones himself

Watch us draw with Charlton now, 1-1

£30 adults, £10 kids still seems steep compared to our £10 / £2.50 in the last round, I noticed it says Putney End may become available to home fans depending on sales so expect they'll give us 4200 initially, perhaps more if we manage to sell that, for those driving park at Richmond and train from there best option I think

Looks like it's pre match pints of orange juice and lemonade all round then.

Subject

Agreed, hard to see that sort of shortfall being made up. However, I've said since the start of the season, Saints running into form will give other teams the shits. They all know Saints have the players, and squad depth to be competitive, if they can get their act together. I think Saints will continue the good form, but other teams will start playing a deep block and draws will creep in. A lot depends on Stewart's fitness and Larin's form.

I don't think we catch Millwall, I think Ipswich will probably have too much too. I think there are 2 play-off spots up for grabs, Hull's (I still think they'll stutter despite being 8 points ahead of us) and, currently, Derby's. I want a Millwall win tomorrow to keep that lot down the road in the relegation battle. However, if I were to predict a result, I think it's possible it could be a draw.
