Don't all stats?

Very much so. Not sure where MLG gets his stats from but according to the below, this season for saves (18th), Punches (16th) and High Claims (17th) he is on average 17th best in the PL. Never been Forster's biggest fan (have always thought he's overrated), however if he is up to his usual standard I'd say he's about our level other than the freak game has once a season. https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/total_keeper_sweeper?po=GOALKEEPER

I'd probably just peel it off. It's a bit of fun, no one hurt or anything damaged.

I'll have it if he cannot attend? But take the lad! A day off school is nothing for the experience he'll get on a day out!

Which is arguably equivalent to championship level.

Mate it's a sticker..... get a grip

IMO would be sensible, just to keep the teams legs ticking over and maintain match fitness. Anyone know where in Spain the squad have gone? Glad they've not gone Dubai or New York as others have tbh!

Yes and no. It'll flag but you should be okay

This. Really dissapointed with the ticketing process for this.

Bournemouth will have something to say about this.... Or so they told us a couple of months ago. Seems to have gone quiet on that front now :lol:

Out of interest do you have to have any qualifications to be a 'FM scout' or is it all based on opinions of regular fans? i.e do you have anything to suggest / Prove you judge a player better than anyone else on this forum.... Assuming not (generally don't know) who's to say that you are right and anyone who has a different opinion to you is wrong? IMO Joe Hart is a better goalkeeper than Bravo (stats this year back this up) does this make me better at judging players than Pep? Agree that some on here are very rash and right players off before they've been given a chance to settle (thinking back to Mane).

Which is utter bullsh*t. Are they saying that people who go to away games only don't have memberships? I know for a fact that this isn't the case. IMO very poorly handled by the club.

This, honestly can't believe the club have treated away fans like this tbh. I hope those with 3+aways but limited home can get a ticket. Why didn't they just say members with x amount of games (home and away)? It makes me feel sick that someone who only brought a couple of europa tickets (and lives within a couple of miles from St Mary's) could get one for the final and someone who lives out of Southampton (cannot get down every other Saturday) and has numerous away's will miss out.

The people I know that are on staff tickets are in lower tier (block 136 I think). Not sure if they specifically chose these seats or if they had a block.. I suspect they got the choice. I do know that they had 3 windows of opportunity to buy them, 2 of which were whilst it was still on sale to ST holders who'd attended x amount of LC games.

Arguably you need to stop selling your best assets as well, but we all know how that ends.... I too like his thinking, however the realist in me says that it won't happen, especially not without a big sell like VVD to balance the books.

I got one on that day.. you just weren't quick enough But not sure there's anything the club can do if there is a change in allocation. Just the luck of the draw unfortunately!

Ours or Barca's

And that would be the best transfer window we've ever had. Think we'll possibly get 1 or 2 from that list, probably the 2 cb's

I think Gray is what everyone expected Redmond to be. Quick, direct and causes problems for fullbacks. Redmond has shown glimpses, however from the little I've seen of Gray, it seems he does this on more of a regular basis.

Agree... wouldn't be too dissapointed I have to say.

Think they should have given everyone one of these free with ticket.. would help make the end stand out.

Gabbiadini is on somthing around £40k I believe (I was shocked when I heard this). VVD will be are highest earner.

The only thing that I think would put him off a move to either Liverpool or City would be how far from London it is. However, as with any footballer, most of the time money talks and I wouldn't be surprised if he was off in the summer. Personally i'm surprised that he wasn't made VC... For me, he is more of a permanent fixture in the starting 11 than Davis (not taking anything away from Davis as he is clearly Captain material, just thinking from a squad selection perspective)...

Never understood the hatred for United and to me has always come across as fairly bitter and jealous. Their away support (generally the true support) is bay far the best in the country. I generally feel sorry for the non local / non affiliated united 'supporters' as they don't get to experience football as you or I do.. The passion and how the weekends result can affect your week/weekend. Personally, I've never understood how anyone can support a team in which they have no affiliation to (i.e family links to the city / club ect...), but perhaps that just comes from being born and bread in Southampton and attending games since I was 2. As for clubs I hate, I generally only hate Pompey (everything about them, their fans and their city. I probably hate Portsmouth (as a whole) as much as I love saints, sad I know), Liverpool and Everton (don't like the city Liverpool or the people from there). I have a strong dislike for West Ham, Bmouth (only recently), Tottenham and Brighton.

Slight amendments made - rather keep Wembley out as only applicable for 1 game potentially. Personally think this is a winner, easy to remember, sounds decent when everyone is going for it and doesn't mention Pompey.
