Football Special

Taking today's game in isolation I thought it was a decent performance, Archer and Tall Paul should have done better with good chances, Armstrong also should have drilled his chance low. Awful defending for the goal , keeper should have done better.

Didn't watch the game then

Seriously , following Saints in games like this is tough enough without cunts like you popping up with drivel

Fuck off. It's Man City's closest home game to remembrance day , they always do it just happens to be not at home for next few weeks

What I can tell you is Stephens will give 100% effort and genuinely cares, if he's not good enough that's on the manager for selecting him but he doesn't deserve a lot of the stick he gets from our own fans

I reckon that, Taylor isn't much younger than Russ and probably has more experience than him playing in a proper organised defence, he probably tried giving Martin some guidance on where he's going wrong and found himself training with the kids as punishment

Definitely feels like a punishment, dropped from first team squad completely is making a point

Martin Out

Assume Taylor, Woods and Edwards will play against Stoke on Tuesday , they must all be disappointed with the moves they made in the summer

To be fair they do have Spurs away a few days after us in the Carabao, would make sense for City to play some youngsters against us as Pep is always moaning about the number of games. Will THB be the only ex-City player in our side? With Baz injured, Edozie on loan and Larios still recovering it's a shame they won't get to show Pep he was wrong to sell them.

He'll even try to dress like Pep won't he.

Might as well be 2800/1

I remember Pep marching on to the pitch to shake Nathan Redmonds hand, who could it be this time?

He's not getting the sack is he, there seems little point in a Martin out campaign unless the ownership changes so for now I say remember the vow we took: When we get promotion This is what we'll sing We are southampton we are southampton Martin is our king

I'd love to hear an update on Kat and Nelly's close relationship. I can picture them going for bottomless brunch after a spot of shopping , lovely stuff

I guarantee the Premier League will be watching this closely keen to get in on the plan, hopefully FIFA don't allow it , AMF https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c98y89dwrxro

Same for me mate, 9 years old and football just seemed magical then , shame to see what it's become , have a watch of this video as well, marvellous

I can see Palace changing manager soon, bit of panic starting to kick in amongst their fan base

Agree with this, particularly noticed on Saturday how hard working he is moving off the ball, needs faster service as we're so slow going forward to benefit from it

This doesn't get said enough, same as when fans were foaming at the mouth shouting abuse at Nathan Jones - it was never his fault that Sport Republic had persued him paying up his contract with Luton so they'd release him

Agree with that , absolutely hate VAR. Also looking forward to getting some songs back like EIEIEIO up the football league we go, and 25 25 undefeated playing football the Southampton way.

A season of no wins where each time fans say "I think they'll give him the next game" and before we know it we're in May. I'd still take that with a Carabao cup win though.

QPR away the week before was also a great one, Norwich at home that season one of the best hat tricks you'll ever see

One of my favourite games in one of my favourite seasons, good old Chris Nicholl and his 4-2-4 tactics, the club never did acknowledge his death did they ?

That's a good point and would be an interesting legal case, unfair that only goals scored are rewarded with points and not some of the other great brave things that happen elsewhere on the pitch , football needs a re-think
