Great performance by Arsenal tonight. Really special.

When did Rice become JWP?*

[HarvSFC]

Coventry's goalkeeper is from Southampton, too.

I want us to face a second string on Sat. 

No chance, there are gunning for a top 4 finish to play CL football again next season.

Have that you skate filth 💪

[Gingeletiss]

Did I just see a link, that Steven Gerrard is coming to help his mate,Adam at Saints. Can’t find it again, so maybe an age thing 😅

You weren't having a nightmare. There's a few stories out there of him believed to be high up on our list.

Oh **** no!

I should just add that I did just type in asterisks so that you could all fill in a word that you deem appropriate..

Mine was 'drat'.;-)

Rangers shafted by VAR giving a red card for that. No way was it an "obvious" goalscoring opportunity. 

[Lighthouse]

Looks like the Blades have blown it. Losing to Plymouth puts them five points behind Leeds/Burnley with a far worse GD. Four games left.

[Doctoroncall]

Leicester drawing against Brighton, now they have found their scoring boots, don’t know where the points will come from to beat Derby’s record. 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Burnley have to be the dullest team ever.

The end to the Championship season is going to look wild at the top and bottom, not many point separating teams.

Which, if you look at it, is quite common in that league.

Just what I was thinking.

I have come to accept the realisation that we are nowhere near good enough to beat Derby’s record. We are not worthy and it would be an insult to them if we did. We deserve nothing more.

Another one taken from us by Chelsea.

[whelk]

Think both Spurs and Chelsea will be looking at Bournemouth manager. Both must sack current managers v soon and today isn’t helping either 

[East Kent Saint]

Ipswich putting on a late spurt unlike Saints !

Indeed - there are ways to go down that aren’t pathetic 

[AlexLaw76]

Chelsea falling with another robotic possession obsessed manager

[Lighthouse]

Oh dear Virgil.

Bruno Fernandez says of Man Utd " This club has never suffered like this".

I think the Munich air crash might have been slightly worse than being in the lower half of the division.

…and they were fookin’ relegated with us in ‘74.

The fella is an obnoxious prick.

You seem to forget that football didn’t exist before the Premier League.

Really like how Peterborough play,not great at the back [ yesterdays final apart,when they were terrific], but really exciting going forward, like the look of their two 19 year old full backs. Good signings for the long term maybe.

They often bring through good players, either through their own scouting or development. Their attackers are often their prize area, Tony, Mackail-Smith, McLean, Gayle, Asombologa.

I think they're a lot weaker this year than they have been for many years though, their sales have caught up with them a bit and their backline has suffered. They sold their best player last year (their LB, Burrows) to Sheffield United in the summer.

But there are much worse places to look for players than Peterborough, as we see with our own Edwards.

I remember when Spurs bought Matthew Etherington and Simon Davies from them. Etherington now with us as under 21 assistant.

[skintsaint]

Was a cracking freekick for their first goal.
