Blessing in disguise… I expected nothing up here today anyway and I hope this pushes us even more to go and find a keeper. However we won’t get a better opportunity ever they’ll have been down to 10 men for more than an hour so if it stays 1-0 it will sting. Russball needs to be sacked off after the 44th minute everyone knows the importance of getting to half time with a cleansheet or without conceding.

Looks like we can bring these chants back then! ”He’s magic you know… Lesley Ugo-chuk-woahh!” ”Follow follow follow, we’re the best team on the south coast… we play in red and white, we’re fucking dynamite and we got Ugo-chuk-woahhh!

What was probably more controversial was all the Watford fans getting riled up because kitsman Forbe and a few others were sat in the home end next to the dugout cos there was so space for them on the touchline. When Aribo was stretching his legs, and whilst Stu was taking forever to come off, loads of Watford fans were starting to get up from their seats and shouting “Russell you’re a ****ing cheating **nt” and a load of stewards had to stand by the dug out. Russell was giving it back to some of em too, so it hurt even more to see those Watford fans vindicated when they scored by saying “Southampton would have won had they not been managed by a shithouse”.

So couldn’t get a ticket in the away end…but right next to the Saints dug out instead Russell Martin, Carl Martin, Andreas Georgensen, Colin and Mat Gill all sat in the dug out They were playing a game of “would you rather” it seems! Can’t really hear anymore though.

I can take. Will pay a bit more as a goodwill email deleted

I hate Bazunu’s goalkeeping ability, one of the biggest reasons for our downfall. However, I hate whoever sanctioned Bazunu’s purchase even more. Bunch of ****s from top to bottom. Happy we are losing. I hope we don’t get another point this season.

Aribo is the just the latest deckchair to be reshuffled from the storage cupboard on the Titanic.

Could just be because he is participating in Ramadan? Maybe not performing as well due to it?

Every game will go on general sale so the only real reason to get a season ticket is for: a) away games b) the convenience of not having to manually buy tickets for every game for yourself and your mates Whilst there'll be more Saturday 3pms, there'll also be a rise in midweek games too I think so whether an ST does work out cheaper on a match-by-match basis depends on your schedule.

More money for Sports Republic to squander.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles - looking at Walcott and signals with his fingers “4-2-3-1” Do you want to make it more obvious 😂 Awful match so far, no penetration but anyone who is rational knew we were down a long time ago. Also think Fabianski would have saved their goal but equally the centre-halves letting him get that header away also easy to blame.

Confident? We literally lost to their B team last season towards the end at home. City have the players to make Liverpool look like they did today, we don’t.

largely see those for home games tbf

Canada goose coats over the saints tops is also on the up mate

I'll say yes as I think no club has ever survived with 3 managers in a season in the PL, I'd say Selles counts as he was given a contract to end of season.

This is terrible for us. Willian and Mitrovic are banned for 3 games now at least, and Fulham's next three are... Bournemouth, West Ham and Everton. Watch all 3 of those win.

Going to predict West Ham 3-0 Saints. I think it will go exactly as it did under Mark Hughes, we played them after an international break that season. They’ll come out of the traps flying, we’ll probably forget how to play football for 2 weeks. Despite the comeback yesterday, I found it really hard to celebrate given we’re 20th and rooted to the bottom.

I’d say giving man on the front post all that space to head it into the danger area equally at fault. Brentford deserve it though no doubt about it, work it far better than us.

Brentford raise their hands for every throw-in, every corner even when they know it came off them but our players look away just expecting the referee to give it or for gamesmanship. No big names in this Brentford team but so well oiled, everyone knows their roles inside out.

Agreed. We can look back on all those 1-0 games we lost too and say what if Adams scored against Wolves away, what if Lyanco didn't mess up for Forest at home or play a stupid pass for Palace away... could go on... Are fans of those clubs saying they got away with one? Let's celebrate every bit of luck we get and be more confident - if we do win 1-0 it's fully merited unless it's due to a referee blunder or similar.

I really enjoyed the light show thank you very much.

I can’t make out how Utd will line up - 5 attacking players in Bruno, Rashford, Sancho, Antony and Weghorst. I’d guess Bruno dropping deep and matching us but they only have 1 true CM/CDM. Let’s come out the races like we did against City in league cup, though I suspect they’ll be trying to do the same, race to a 3/4-0 and then rest their players.

Please tell me that is sarcasm Worst home record in the league, 90th out of 92nd and all that…

We won 1-0 at OT twice in 14/15 and 15/16

Not sure if I’ve missed an obvious one but I feel like Championship strikers that make it in the Prem, like Vardy, Toney, Mitrovic etc etc are those that come up promoted with their teams. The ones that don’t (cough, Che, Adam A, cough) have struggled to adapt…
