Presumably to be broadcast on Saints Player or live on Radio Solent?

Ryan is playing as though he has been there all season. Great.

When I played a 100 years ago, the coaches, dressed in overcoat, trilby and customary fag, used to tell the keepers to stay on their line until the oposition player came into the penalty box with the ball. This still holds good imo as Skek was a yard off his line for that free kick. Kelv suffers from the same problem In saying that, Steks kicking is very good.

I cannot remember seeing any player with such a burst of pace from more or less a standing start. Magnificient.

I watched Sky News in the mornings whilst in Portugal recently as I could not get BBC1 on the TV in the Villa. Holmes just thinks he is so good and treats many of his guests without respect in my opinion. Certainly would not bother to watch him on TV in UK.

Why members wish to increase the capacity of the stadium when we cannot fill the one we have,is beyond comprehension.

Now that is a surprise

That Shot Shane Long took for the last goal at MK was superb. You would never see Lallana strike a ball that hard.

"Have you ever seen the sun" would not come amiss though.

What a nice guy. Very emotional to watch too. Thanks Nigel and good luck for the future.

You are so right.unfortunately he does not have the pace for a pl player.

Perhaps he should speak to Kenwyn Jones.

Interesting to see pelle and tadic tapping their badges today in a show of commitment to vwy perhaps!

He is an intelligent and articulate young man and that is why he fronts the TV interviews more than most. Possibly the reason why Clyne and Puncheon were not put out too many times when they were here.

Mom for me

No booing please. The players wanted to win just as we did. Long balls are not our game so hope we change v Norwich. Get behind the team from the outset, let us get a win and we all will be happy again.

No, simply a mis-spell on the bracelet given by Del.

He needs to improve his passing before anyone really comes calling methinks.

Manchester City had a big fan base, but they were not much of it before the Sheiks came in and it did not seem long ago that "potato head" took them down. As somebody said previously, if you throw enough money at it and play all foreign players, you may get some success but not sure the majority would want it that way.

Now then!

He looked very nervous in the tunnel before the teams came out and seemed a little terrified of Benteke with a result that many passes went astray. He is in the England under 21 squad though, so he must be doing something right. Otherwise Gareth will not play him just as Wroy would not play Clyne perhaps!!

RK said before the game that we had to play a different game and we did. Although, I felt despondent afterwards, we did have 60% of the possession and 23 shots at goal coupled with more corners than the Danish Champions. We need to be better in putting opportunities away. We looked disjointed and RK's comment at the pre game press conference about 5 defenders changing from last season and we need time to settle in and get used to everybody's game, is very relevant.

Mane is the quickest off the mark when facing a player with the ball at his feet, that I have ever seen at Saints. His pace is very important to us and he will improve as a player this season without doubt. I do not think he will go to Man U or any other of the top 4..yet. However, like them all eventually the Sirens will come calling and he will be under their spell at some stage in the future just as that Greek fella was. By then though we may have another "Mane" in our sights.

You could also paint the walls red.
