I think that’s just being Saints. It can only be good for too long before you think it’ll come crumbling down. I’m quietly optimistic, we look too good for everyone recently even when in 2nd gear, Swansea are fairly average but with 1 big threat to deal with. New ground for me today so hoping for the best, no reason not to be confident other than thinking we’re going to lose just because we’re unlikely to win 7 in a row

How much do you actually save? Im getting quotes around the £10k mark but most things I see say saving is around £400-£500 per year. If I get an EV then save on fuel as well but £500 a year doesn’t really seem with it.

Excuse the bump, but last chance this season to watch the everso mighty Sholing at home. Sun is shining too! Up the Saints & Sholing

How many clubs of similar size to Saints have achieved so much more than we did when he was here?

Compilation of our ten best goals away at Swansea: 10 of the Best: Special strikes at Swansea | Southampton FC Official Site Flynn's is the pick of the bunch there IMO.

Or we win 6-0 and rub out Ipswich's goal difference advantage.

I know what you mean, just feels like one of those games. Although had a few good wins at Swansea over the years, need the spirit of 2018

Reed managed to somehow get ingratiated with Liverpool and their ability to take influential players off us for very reasonable fees. He was the catalyst to our eventual decline IMO - had he not sold us out at the point we needed to push on, we might have achieved so much more.

Said nobody ever !

Larin for me. He totally changed the Derby game when he came on. I like Stewart but he hasn't got that aggressive edge that a lot of defenders hate playing against.

Recall Baz, now!

I wonder if Lampard will turn out like another Scott Parker. Decent Championship manager but totally out of his depth at a higher level

Another tricky game. They realistically are going to finish possibly top ten at best, so possibly will have half an eye on next season. Be good if we can be a couple of goals up at half time to make it straight forward.

Thing is, it’s not necessarily about the result. Imagine how it will feel for the players to step out at Wembley to play against arguably the most successful club in modern UK football, where they have the opportunity to show off their talent in front of an audience of millions. Then afterwards they’ll need to pick themselves up for a massive 6 pointer game against Ipswich who will likely just need to draw to get auto promotion. I don’t think it can be underestimated how much of a challenge that specific switch will be. If he pulls it off Eckhert will be lauded Internationally and rightly so.

Ah,but we were being coached by ' one of the best managers in Europe' at the time ! 😇😉

Agreed, I’m pleased for them. As similar a club to Saints as you can get very badly mismanaged over the last 20 years. Good for them

Definitely a weird feeling in the air for this game, not sure what it is. Something silly like we will win but Peretz will get injured or something

Only because we won...no guarantee it'll be the same again...

I guess there's a train of thought that says it could be better to play a team that's still under pressure to get a result as they'll be taking more risks which could open things up more for us...?

Tonda’s “close the book” is the new “draw a blue line under it and move on” from Adkins days. Both seem tremendous communicators and motivators.

Well, not quite. It's not mathematically impossible for any of them to still make the playoffs. But one more win for Hull will put that to bed, and they are at home to Brum today so hopefully by the time we play Brizzle on Tuesday it will be out of reach for them.

Yes the unsold Man City blocks in upper tier would be a continuation of our section so they have allowed for that, knowing the FA they'll leave it to the last minute though . We've sold up to block 528 i think. Blocks 527- 522 haven't been put on sale yet (to City) so in theory whole upper tier down to corner flag is available

But wasn't the extra saints that day because club wembley was on general sale because none of their members wanted it?

Congrats to Coventry. Hope we will be joining them.
