FC Midtjylland vs Southampton FC (buildup/match/tears/recriminations)

FFP is NOT an issue this year. Platini had to back down due to complaints from EU based sides without our TV riches (where even Saints will earn more than PSG this year)

Why on earth people still bring that up - how the hell does everyone imagine Manure can bid for Neymar/Bale etc or how Citeh who were fined a year ago suddenly can spend 100’s of millions this summer?

FFP is frozen, it is gone. It is now just an Operational Template, OR it is applicable ONLY to Football League Clubs - who, like QPR get no sanctions anyway when they breach them.

We CHOSE not to over spend this summer. THIS summer was t he one year where this gap existed and we COULD have done it.

We took the money out.

I did know about FFP but I mentioned it because I didn’t want to prolong a conversation I knew could only end badly as she was already in a bad mood. I think you’ll understand that. :confused:

Yay Saturday matches again… After this weekend!

Just just trying to put a positive light on things!

Actually for us a REALLY good thing. Once we get past Summer Vacation time we usually get our “family” of between 10 & 20 Saints fans watching the games together in the pub. May not seem much to you lot but it is a great feeling of fellowship.

The issue we had is that Sunday is a working day here so a Noon KO meant a 3 (or when clocks go back 4pm) KO time on a work afternoon)’

Which means nobody can get there!

So yeah an upside.

Downside I needed one more EU trip for my annual airmiles stauts Goddammit now I have to find a reason to travel for work!

Our UEFA slayers are presently playing Man Utd.

United lost De Gea in the warm up. Could be interesting.

Its 1-1 at half time and Midgetland have had chances to be infront.

2-1 to Midgetland.

Much like drawing with Leicester at home, going out to this lot isn’t looking quite so silly now, is it?

Great to have two clubs with Zombie Managers above us in the race for the final UCL place this season…

Great to have 5th place contenders Liverpool and Man United pissing about in the Europa League for as long as possible.

Sisto scores against the run of play for Midtjyland at Old Trafford to put them 3-1 up on aggregate.

OG equalizer.

1-1 (2-3) aggregate.

lol. Mata has a penalty saved.

Rashford scores on debut for United to even it up at 3-3 on aggregate.

Rashford scores again. 4-3. :lou_sad:

Herrera pen. All over.

And long may United, Liverpool and Spurs be distracted from the league.

Playing right into Leicester hands!

Excellent - Liverpool now have a HUGE crunch game against Man United on the Thursday before coming to us.

I really want them to get a nasty surprise when they roll up thinking they’ll bang six past us again…
