Totton Saint

What level was he at playing for the club we bought Mane from

Watch this space but be careful what you wish for

I am sick of players being rescued from obscurity or having their careers revitalised by us only to use us a a stepping stone. Tear up his contract offer and let him sweat

The Telegraph sports page wrote a bigger piece about Ings wanting to go to a Champions League team than their report of the game. Might stop buying the paper. With a good tail wind we could be the very team Ings wants.

I enjoyed it too. Do these lads play in the B team or even lower. Whatever, I thought they did well in the circumstances

Good post. I thought the youngsters did well. I enjoyed the game. Everything went via JWP. His goal just shaved the post. What laser like pinpoint accuraccy Good post. I thought youngsters did well. All moves went through JWP. What a free kick - pinpoint laser lie accuracy shaving the post.

My point was how good I think our best team is. Could beat anyone on their day

people forget that the attacker who has the ball at his feet has the advantage over the defender who is attempting to get the ball of him. It is much easier for the attacker to dribble by the defender than it is for the def to get the ball off him.

What a memory you have!

If we had not got so many injuries we may have got into Europe. I feel devastated for poor Smallbone. I wish him a good recovery.

Stephens should play. He cannot tired - he has only just started playing again in first team agaain

No Long ***

Just what I think. We were passing back to goalie in injury time!

He should be banned from the forum

Why is there so much intolerance, not to say hatred, in the world today. Stephens did not make Maddison do such an excellent strike. He had almost shepherded him out of play.

I noticed that most, if not all our corner kicks were headed out by the opposition. How we miss Vest

Yes - it did result from Walcott loosing the ball

could well do

Who is Jeff? May I ask why is your nom de plume Whelk? No obvious football connotations.

Sorry my previous post to you triggered the ensuing posts - all off topic I guess. I suppose should not use the forum as social media. Just that I worked off and on in a number of Muslim countries, including Saudi would you believe. Remember I said I had a good feeling about the Liverpool match and we won. Well I have the same feeling for today's game.

sorry to hear that. How did you become a Saints fan. Quite a devoted one going by your many posts .

Whelk Am I right in assuming you are female?

Time Boris intervened

This really sums up the whole fiasco. What is there to mull over - as you say make a decision. The way Covid is going we'll be lucky to finish the Premier league, never mind the cup.

Re Covid ,I saw a player from the ManU V Burnley spit before the the match had even started. So the theory that chemicals released from heavy exercise prompts spitting is spurious. I doubt spitting is socially acceptable in gyms. By the way does any older posters from Totton remember the setting up of Testwood YC football club with my class mates from Totton Grammar and us playing in the New Forest League against grown men Our first match was v Marchwood Power Station. We played with a ball donated to us by Sir Walter Winterbottom, the England manager at the time. We played in a strip donated to us by the Navy at Portsmouth. I later moved with my parents to Bedford
