Sotonians' Southampton FC Player of the Season:

Feck that Jack Schitt for saying everything that I would have said were I as eloquent as him!

Maybe we should have a “Moments of the season” poll, one shoe in would be Cuco’s goal against the Arse.

Cuco scored our goal of the season!

I remember when he hit it thinking that is nearly going out for a throw, but the bend on it was ludicrous!

An incredible strike.

VVD. He’s been immense.

Look at all the fuckin Virgil-ista’s.

Clearly naively blinded by a nice touch, or recovery tackle ignoring the trouble he gets himself into by being so casual/constantly being out of position. But he waves his arms a lot and blames others when we concede, so it’s OK. :lou_eyes_to_sky:

All about Shlong for me.

…and I guess Long would be my PoS.

VVD has been pretty cool and Forster’s return was astonishing, but I might lean towards Long - he has given Pelle and Mane some lessons in where the goal is on occasions.

And it’s always more glamorous at that end of the park.

Yep. I was mid ‘FFS’ when it started bending in. I think he was more shocked than me.

Like Fowllyd, I’ve got a lot of respect for Forster, and can only wonder at what might have been if he’d been available from the start. That said, Stek did a lot better than Davis did. Still think Fraser is vulnerable to certain types of shot. Doesn’t get into the bottom corners quickly enough for me, but a very good season which might have been even better.

Indeed. Frase has been (mostly) immense since his return, and had he not had anything to return from in the first place – and been in this kind of form all season – I’m sure he’d have been right up in most top three’s.

Though after a brilliant initial return – those clean sheets have dried up a bit of late. Not all Frase’s fault by any means, but that ‘invincibility factor’ he seemed to have on return from injury has not glimmered quite as brightly of late.

Though THAT save against Leicester – wow! Dipping at the most awkward of angles into the top right corner, not only did he somehow manage to reach it – but also had the strength to beat it out with his palm. Wait. That didn’t sound quite right.

Why thank you squire. I’ll consider myself well and truly ‘fecked’. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Tis a good idea. Start it.

You sure you’re not confusing him with Pelle mate? :lou_wink_2:

As I have since discovered in another topic, I am unable to add a poll to an existing topic for some strange reason.

Firstly, is it possible that this feature can be added for us please?

I see no reason why us serfs should not be able/trusted with adding a simple poll to our own topics, and it would certainly save us having to ask Pap or Bletch to add one on our behalf, when I am sure they both have much more important things to be doing with their busy lives.*

Secondly, could Pap or Bletch please add a Poll to this topic with the names of:

Shane Long

Virgil Van Dijk

Steven Davis

Jose Fonte

Ryan Bertrand

and let us know when it is ready for voting?

Much appreciated.

* I am not at all sure of this. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Been thinking about it but still VVD shading it

Long has been amazing in the run in

Forster Changed the solidity of the whole squad

Tadic has been an assist machine

What is very obvious is that we have a very decent squad in depth with some really very good players ( Romeou looks so good at times I don’t really care if VW goes). Spoilt for choice, which can only be a good thing.

So chuffed VVD signed a 6 year deal. RK looked happy with it and hopefully means he is happy here as well

I remember chatting with frbl on here pre-season, and his predictions were: “Chelsea to finish 9th, Leicester to win the league, and Shane Long to score double figures.”

I was like, fuck off! Shane Long dbl figures!!! You’ve gone too far!

Made me look a right mug tho, didn’t he? Fkn frbl RIP

My player of season is James Ward-Prowe. he has underrated hair. Add him to poll pls.

Indeed. Shlong has been absolutely fantastic.

Virgil has been immense all season too.

Steven Davis has been his Mr. Reliable self, but the last few weeks has been properly in his ‘zone’ and contributed some awesome displays.

Jose Fonte has deserved an inclusion in the poll for his classy efforts, although there are at least three who’ll likely share the votes before him.

And Ryan has just been consistently good all season. So whilst Shane and Virgil will likely fight it out for the ‘title’, Ryan’s efforts deserve to be recognised in the poll too.

Tadic and Mane have been superb in recent weeks, but inconsistency over the course of the season denies them a place on the final shortlist.

Frase would have made it if he’d been playing all season, and Romeu too if he’d been given sufficient playing time to stake a claim.

But I feel the names offered up in my last post are those who over the course of the whole season, have stood out as the mainstays of everything we’ve been doing so well.

Nope, it appears to be beyond my almost omnipotent powers.

I tried to add the poll but was told that I didn’t have permissions.

Me?

Insufficient permissions?

I hardly think so.

papster?

That’s what I get too Bletch. There is a distinct lack of permission sufficiencies around here.

Over to you then papster.

Please tell us that as Master of the Sotonians Universe – you at least are ‘sufficient’ to complete this task?

Or must I start a new topic?

Yes Jack, it appears that I am omniimpotent in this regard.

You should be able to edit that now as well, JS.

It was a tough one this season…Shane or Virgil.

I went for Shane in the end as he plied his trade like a solitary Attila the Hun…running amok causing panic and alarm …what a fuckin nightmare he is for the opposition.
