I was there today and found nothing to excite me for 60 minutes. I concentrated on Schneiderlin but found he trotted into position at snail pace once he had lost the ball. The French manager needs to look at him critically if he hopes to use him in the future. In summary we found the bottom team hard to beat until Papa Waigo came on. On the plus side Fonte looked the best central defender we have had for ages.

At start of season I forecast on here 59 points ie 69 - 10. Don't see any reason to change that. Glad to see a realistic thread.

Nostalgia is not what it used to be.

Bah. Humbug. Seriously, though, thanks for covering the most interesting (?) year in Saints history so well. Merry Christmas from an occasional poster.

Far far better than BBC. Wonder how much the ball swerved from the free kick. MLT was once timed at 90mph (though not running,of course).

As a man who has run the line and was immediately opposite the last outfield defender when Waigo was flagged offside in my view he was definitely onside twice if not three times.

Agree 2 or 3 times he was definitely onside in the second half. My seat is also dead in line.

According to teletext on ITV Lallana scored with a header past......Bialkowski!

Nice work, Tim!

Noticed that after Murty came on he never stopped talking and organising everyone around him including Jaidi who is a very experienced international. He was also loudly in the face of their winger. We've needed that as James wouldn't say boo to a goose.

Thanks Glen. Please keep posting.

Thomas at RB. James in MF with Hammond. Connolly for second half. But what do I know!

Sporting Director, Director of Football, Technical Wizard. Step forward Sir Clive Woodward, only man brilliant enough to fulfil all the criteria. Could probably handle the catering and accounts too in a quiet moment.

Who was their goal down to? It was impossible to see from the other end of the ground.

If it is next summer WGS will be thoroughly rested by then. Oh dear another red herring.

It would be nice to think we could be the men and them the boys instead of the other way round as last season.

Now need to exceed 1.5 points per game to get close to safety. Tough task.

The purpose is to tell you Jaidi has signed!

Serious problems for Real Madrid then. Doubt if it will happen.

Wrote to Mike Wilde before and during last season making all the points about Portvliet's lack of knowledge, use of youth team etc. Wilde replied that eveyone was working hard to solve the finances. Clueless the lot of them.

Truly hilarious. Which one is Wilde? Or was he missing, as usual.

Any guesses how much income we have received from sales of players and sts (in full). Could be as much as £6m. If so we are serious players in this league.

Be interesting to know how many times in last, say, 30 years we have exceeded 1.5 points a game. At 1.5 we would end up with 69 -10 = 59 points. Sounds about it to me.

And how many STs would TA sell. None in my view. Still remember him winning a dodgy penalty against us at the old Arse nal ground in the 80s.

Happy with Wotte working with the Academy but not the First Team. Much higher profile manager needed to sell STs and bring back 10000 lost supporters.
