The Official Southampton FC Thread

[joshleb]

Spurs, Leicester and Liverpool are our next 3 league games.

I’m guessing it’s optimistic to hope for 3/9 points from these.

Don’t want to be going into the last 3 games against Fulham, Leeds and West Ham looking over our shoulder needing more points!

[SaintsPaul]

On the radio today they are banging on about us trying to get to our 1st cup final since 2003 . Leicester haven't been there since 1969 !!!!
Don't get me wrong I think we have little or no chance but let's get things in perspective.

[tobinen]

I will be pleasantly surprised if they win it to meet Chelsea but I shall have a wager on Leicester. I'll have to find a hooky stream as it's on BT

[Paul_B]

Created absolutely nothing...yet again. Too much tippy tappy, pretty, sideways and backwards st...yet again. It's a fking semi-final guys, and we fking bottled it! Sums us up, nothing about us at all!

The best we can look forward to now is trying to stay up.

[TyrannosauRoss Lex]

Yet another defeat imminent (and after a winning position). We're really st.

[SaintsPaul]

About time this team showed some kahunas . If tackles like that are going to be red cards then football is finished.

[The jiffle king]

A good point and some good defending . Some players need to continue that form if they want new contracts

[DocJock]

An awful decision, compounded by the referee's reasoning. Vardy never was going to touch that ball never mind score.

Good shift by all involved.

Makes an absolute mockery of VAR that the decision could have been so wrong. The ref was blindsided (and a fair way back) so it should never have been his shout.

It will be pleasing and frustrating in equal measure if the red card is overturned on appeal.

Pompey fan here in peace. Just wanted to mark the passing today of Alan "Macca" McLoughlin, who played for both Pompey and Saints. Died today from cancer at the tender age of 54. Tragic.
Such a lovely man, wonderful footballer and forever remembered for the goal that took Ireland to the World Cup in 1994. RIP Macca.

Thankyou for posting and sharing this sad news. Wonderful player and wish his family well.

Not given the love at ours as much as yours but still a sad day and taken far to early.

Alan is, was a mate of mine. I hadn't seen him for a while but we exchanged a few messages last year when he told me he was unwell. I last "spoke" with him in late March and he gave me an update on his condition. I only realise now what he was telling me and I regret that.

He was such a lovely guy and to be honest the many tributes on twitter yesterday was the very least he deserved.

Vestergaard's red has been overturned - quite right, too.

Robert Jones (the ref) and Jon Moss (the VAR) should now be the ones facing multi-match suspensions for crimes against refereeing.

Not this calendar year there isn't. From January we're bottom of the league with the fewest points and most goals conceded.

I reckon we'll go down next year unless things change!

[The jiffle king]

We have really missed Romeu and we could do with a couple of defenders with pace
Confidence has been eroded massively and whilst I still have faith in Ralph, I am questioning some of the quality in certain positions on the pitch

[Shnozz]

If it wasn't for the fact I am in quarantine with nowt better to do I don't think I would have bothered tuning in to tonight's match. Watched the Fulham match last night and breathed a sigh of relief.

My "other" team Elche also look set for relegation Whole season in the top flight where we were unable to go to see the big teams playing and now back in Segunda for when the terraces open again.

Yeah. This. We don't have the players to execute the system Ralph wants to play.
