Football Special

I log on to this forum far more than I should do, but don't once recall reading a post by you and thinking "this person knows what they're talking about "

I thought Palace were excellent on Saturday and think they set up the right way to give Man City a good game, have lost interest in the Cup final last few years but think I'll make the effort to watch this one

I think other teams would approach it much more pragmatically than we did, Luton would be a better example, still go down but gain more points than us.

Unfortunately Villa had the momentum and have leapfrogged us with game in hand still, we won’t catch them now

I've heard Dragan wants a quick sale due to change of circumstances and is going to list the club on Facebook marketplace later today

Takeaway from that is don't bother getting a Premier league season ticket

We love gifting late goals don't we. Is it fitness? Lack of attention? Ipswich Leicester Brentford Palace Fulham I'm sure there have been more scoring in stoppage time at St Mary’s this season, we've seen it time and time again

Focus starting to turn to next season and some interesting games to look forward to , - South Coast Derby, seems such a long time since we were in the same division - another localish game, A34 derby with Oxford United, last time we were in the same division late 80s ? - Wrexham, aka Hollywood FC, we've hardly ever played them in our history, last time in same league 1959/60 , played then in league Cup 1979 , can't be many Saints fans who were at that. Who knows what will happen at Leicester financially, also Sheffield Wednesday (have they paid players yet?) few places still to be decided in relegation battle and league one play offs, some good potential trips with one of Wycombe, Stockport, Charlton, Orient or Reading to come up. Promoted Birmingham and Wrexham are expected to invest in playing squad, will be strong I think. No obvious clear favourites, I'd probably say Ipswich if they keep players and manager.

Is that our back 4?

Lap of honour first

9 goals in 31 appearances, bet Torino are happy with that for a free transfer

I watched the Burnley v Sheff Utd game, just couple of observations - reminder that standard is really not that high, lots of scrappy play - BBD looks like he's not having much impact - watching Burnley fans celebrating, i can't imagine myself getting excited like that for promotion again, suppose got to enjoy the moment of joy whilst you can despite knowing what is to come

Yeah or might not actually do full 1000, seems like a warning to put off those tempted to make a quick £££ by buying just to sell on. If I need to collect will definitely aim to get there before the coaches arrive

I remember the last game at The Dell, we had those bus pass style season ticket cards that just needed to be shown , nothing scanned or ripped out, some in the Archers were able to chuck their season ticket back over the wall or push under exit gate for a mate to then use same ticket again, modern tech probably stops that but no doubt the scallies will have a few tricks up their sleeves

I wonder if they are doing it as a deterant as logistically collecting that many tickets before a midday ko will be tricky, those travelling up on the day won't have loads of time pre match. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/25106588.southampton-aim-bust-ticket-touting-historic-everton-match/?ref=socialflow#

I think staying up now need big slice of luck with signings clicking, also need a couple of existing Premier league steams to start imploding at the right time, are points deductions a thing of the past now as Man City are still avoiding them ?

I think Leeds will give it a much better go than any of the three this season

It's a fixture to sharpen the minds of everyone at the club, need to make sure they understand failure is not an option

1000% Jamie Vardy drilling it into bottom corner

I'd love to see them given a points deduction next season

Can see the players were buzzing not to lose as well, they'll want to experience that again, good performance Good to see Lallana has taught Les how to pat the badge after scoring

It's unlikely Saints will sell out, assuming you are all Saints fans with active accounts / purchase history you should be able to get tickets for the game

West Ham to win and JWP to score any time , how are the odds looking for that?

You could gamble on Saints having a brilliant season and selling out therefore allowing you to sell back your ticket on the exchange for games you can't get to Season ticket is essential for me for access to away tickets, particularly some of the smaller allocations although regional supporters clubs like London Saints might be able to help you with those
