Bernard Cribbins look a like competition he has to go to in Bursledon and he won't make it back in time for KO

20 seems generous

I didn't watch post match last night, but I noticed this after the Brentford game. It felt like he wanted out in his post match interview.

Ralph Out now. What are we losing by getting rid of him? Grass is not always greener but this is dross. We were better under Puel (we did have VVD though).

Assuming you mean Dibling? Or are Rimmer and Lister getting a run out as well?

As per title

Looking for 1 ticket here

I'm not overtly Ralph out, but I don't think I'd be upset to see him go now. Would be interested to see if someone else could do a bit better with this squad.

Are any of those players you've mentioned really good enough to be playing at their respective clubs though? Outside Fred?

I don't think this is a very good illustration of his creativity. Take out the set pieces which we know he is great at then there is 23 chances created in 2,677 minutes, or a chance from open play every 116 minutes. People saying his is City quality, but De Bruyne has a chance from open play every 37 minutes. A bit of apples v oranges there, but it's not the same league.

This might seem like blasphemy to some, but is JWP top 6 quality? Obviously he is elite at direct Free Kicks, very good at corners and indirect free kicks. His work rate is outstanding, but aside from that? He is not a great tackler, he isn't particularly strong, he isn't creative at all...

Niemi Clyne - Van Dijk - Fonte - Shaw Schneiderlein - JWP Tadic - Le Tissier - Mane Pelle Surprising lack of Shaw in these teams, especially as Bale only had one season for us and it was in the championship. Shaw had one of the best games i've ever seen any footballer have, let alone a Saints player, at Stamford Bridge when we drew 2-2 in 2013.

I feel like he always been a bit of unit. He is dead short though so I think it amplifies the effect some what.

Away at the champions, 2-0 loss, still missing Ings and Romeu, not the end of the world. A bit of composure in and around their penalty area and it could've been a different story. Was expecting the second goal for a while, the back 4 look knackered.

3 wins, 1 draw, 11 losses in 2021. But apparently yesterday was just a "bad day at the office".

Never got to go unfortunately. My first Saints game was the first year at St Mary's I think. Saints 4 - Fulham 2. Remember us being 2 down and a Beattie hattrick turning it around.

I think we should be putting out our strongest team for the cup, as it's our only shot now at winning something. I'll be a bit disappointed if he starts to be honest, having not played a game of football in 7-8 months. Bring him on if we're 2-3 up for some minutes, fine.

How long until Salisu becomes a Dia or a Forren?

I agree with Walcott being best out wide. I wonder if Redmond (if fit) could do a job up top. Used to play there a bit in his Norwich days IIRC.

If I was a Chelsea fan i'd be licking my lips at the thought of Werner & Ings up top together in Ralph's high press.

If he doesn't want to be here, let him go. Can't be arsed going through all this again. Will be a massive shame as he is a local boy but no-one should be bigger than the club.

That's what I took from it as well. Would love to see some evidence of the academy being "Destroyed".

Do people really want us to be taken over by this DeGrossa? Have they learnt nothing in the last 20 years?

Lallanas first game back at St Marys will live long in my memory, even though we got battered. Never heard an atmosphere like it down there.

Anyone know if the LD shirts are available in the West Quay shop, or is it just online?
