Gabbiadini has made all the difference to Tadic, somebody who wants to get on the end of through balls played in behind. With Austin up front Tadic is wasted.

No chance 25k knew. Nobody anywhere near me had the slightest idea, lots joined in anyway.

I had no idea what it was about but just caught somebody singing one Markus Liebherr and assumed it was for him as I knew 62/63 was roughly his age. No way United fans could be expected to know, it looked good and was a nice tribute but was a little cheesy so of course they're going to take the ****. We know why we did it and as long as we're comfortable with that who gives a **** what anybody outside of Southampton thinks of it.

Rumour has it he was seen openly eating a pie. If so you've got to say he left them no choice.

That would clearly reflect very much away from anything they achieved.

Brilliant quote... "The team were magnificent against Arsenal, but to think someone's openly eating a pie behind them reflects very much away from what they did. " http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39046962

I'm gonna guess he's already making more money from this than whatever Sutton were paying him.

We could still go down, it makes complete sense.

Bloody hell they're going fast though, every time I chose a seat it couldn't add to basket, I assume because somebody else had beaten me to it. Got one in the end but that seating plan is turning grey very quickly!

This. i just waited and had a 6 minute queue.

And then you would've moaned that the website was slow or kept crashing.

If they do a membership free for all they really should freeze membership sales otherwise it's a complete **** take. I've got my ticket so doesn't bother me but I can see why folks would be upset with that. Here's hoping the club have more sense.

He certainly seemed to be enjoying Gabbiadini's movement. For an attacking midfielder the difference between appearing to have a good game and a **** one can be the movement of the bloke you're trying to link up with.

Why is it **** poor? I'm pretty sure there aren't loads of people sitting around not bothering to buy one. It's just reflective of how many fans we have and the drip feed way the club are selling the tickets.

If you don't refresh the page (as I think it advises) you get put in the queue automatically when they open the site. So you ended up in a queue with all the people who didn't refresh because their page automatically refreshed when the site went online.

Yes, you're right. He definitely doesn't have anything else to do, his job is just player recruitment. Amazing

Just so I can be sure, we are talking about the same Les Reed who oversaw the last 6/7 years of continual progress whilst keeping the club in the black, right? We want that guy out after 6 months of patchy form for the first team?

I'd say it has a slight impact. The one year I was struggling to renew and thinking about just doing games as a non st holder if definitely entered my mind that the year I didn't get a season ticket was bound to be the year we get to a cup final.

I am getting tickets for a big group tomorrow, some have been to two, some to one. I've just noticed that the window for tomorrow isn't described as being for people with "at least one" ticket. Am I safe to assume it is? I don't want to be told I've missed the window for those of us with two!

Is that your evidence? Gardos' first fans in how long? And how many games has Stephens played. They would clearly get a lot better very quickly. It amazes me that people still don't understand form.

We'd be fine.

Lol. Yes, both of those things depend entirely on a centre back signing.

Am I missing something on the seating plan? Why is the middle tier greyed out?

For me it's simple really. I've been aligned with the clubs goals for many many years, through relegation battles, cup runs, promotion campaigns, I knew what the club were trying to achieve and it matched what I wanted the club to achieve as a fan. It's easy to get passionate about that, you feel at one with the club and players targets. Having established ourselves as a very good prem team, I was aligned with the clubs goals as it fought to make Europe. Then it's diverged. The club weren't that bothered about Europe, I REALLY was. I wanted us to prioritise it, the club gave it second billing behind trying to finish "top of our mini league" in the prem. I understand why they're doing that, it's where the money is, but I just feel like there's little point in finishing 6th, 7th, 8th if we then aren't going to really try in Europe. So success for the club now is finishing 7th, and I don't really care about that, but we're good enough to stay out of trouble, so the consequence of the club failing is we finish 13th or something. I just don't really care. In the past it felt as though every match mattered, whether it was a relegation battle, cup run, promotion attempt or push for Europe. This season feels like the games don't really matter at all, because even if we have a great season and get into Europe, the club will **** it away again. I don't even feel confident that we will play our best 11 for the second leg Liverpool game, which is a mad situation to be in.

I am enjoying singing along theatrically to annoy everybody around me. But yes, it's ****ing awful
