Saints v Inter Milan - Build Up And Matchday Thread

This is the thing, I have no fucking luck, I am down in the moring but we’re at Hull on Sunday away! I couldn’t have come down yesterday due to work, its only going to get harder when the baby arrives in a month, very difficult indeed.

Actually I have always been a fan of Yoshida. WHEN HE PLAYS CB.

He simply is not a RB and I don’t like to see him wasted there. Maya is probably a beter Squad CB than any Squad Cover defender at say Man Utd.

Some thoughts

There was a guy behind me last night who was ultra negative on anything a Saints player did wrong.

He was castiagting Yosh and Martina for most of the first half, the abuse Austin got in the second half when he came on was amazing as well.

Why does this sort of “fan” go to a football match.

I feel sorry for J-Rod, he just seems to have lost it. He was static last night and didn’t really add anything to the team. Austin replacing him made a world of difference as he was pulling players all over the place making gaps and the suchlike.

We were too static at points last night and, as mentioned earlier, were too often the architects of our own doom. Misplace passes, underhit passes from no real pressure.

McQueen just keeps growing in stature, expect him to be sold to Liverpool/Chelsea/Man United/Tottenham in the Summer

Martina needs a rest.

As I have said repeatedly over the years Yoshi is a more than competent Centre Back.

van Dijk is a monster! Did he sign a new 5 year contract recently, I hope he honours it. I hope we can give him the reasons to be able to honour it.

Romeu is easily getting better than Wanyama (who?).

Couldn’t agree more. Does my head in. This is one of the upsides of sitting in the family bit in the Chapel, there are far fewer who jump on the players backs than in, say, the Itchen South from where I had the misfortune to watch the Sunderland Milk Cup match. That said, for evening games it does tend to be a bit different in there for obvious reasons.

Support your bloody team!

We beat Inter Milan , and if there was any sense it would have been twice.

In the shitstorm of crap going on in the world this is a shining and glorious thing. So so proud.

The fans last night were phenominal - watching the stream with 15 to go OWTSGMI was probably the loudest I’ve ever heard it.

Probably the thing I’m most proud of is the way we’ve done it, chuffed to bits for Sam McQueen and JWP, both had great games.

I hope moments like this will keep our players focussed on our potential when Liverpool inevitably come sniffin’ around

If we go through is it draw to see who we play next, or is it already decided like world cup where winner of group A players runner up group D or whatever?

Feels unnatural somehow to be Southampton fan taking interest in european competition regulations, ain’t it.

I quite like that, it is catchiness. Do they play it at Stadium?

I can’t help thinking though, that they’ve seen me dance, and are mocking me somehow.

Surely you only dance like that when you pull the chip fryer out too quickly and drop hot oil on yourself!!

my favourite tweet last night was

‘This is my expecto patronum moment’

Geeky but spot on

Caught up on some of the highlights Steve so only saw the good bits.

That’s always an odd experience not seeing the bits where someone does something really really stupid or the ref is a cunt

That ref could have had his own spin-off series.

I don’t get this, there is no way anyone was getting near me as I was so nervous, let alone sexual contact, not a chance! All about the football.

After the final,whistle, well anything goes… as we won! (When I say anything, there are still some limits).

I was on the plane to Milan and the lad next to me wouldn’t stop singing this ha ha, nice fellow from Winchester I think, he was hammered on the coach into Milan ha ha! Tadic in the hole Tadic in the hole!
