Never saw one minute live (though did re-run the goal). Did what I always do....displacement activity...gardening this time.
Made hard work of it against a really really poor side but a million times better than last week and it's another start. Reasons to be hugely more optimistic. Pleased to say I think I was wrong on Hoedt - he looks pretty class. Lemina was legendary. League looking lovely for a couple of hours.
Debatable. It's not a statistic that we particularly want, but it might still be us to have made the worst start. The five defeats we started 1998/99 with were 1-2, 0-5, 1-2, 0-3, 0-4. That's a GD of -14. Whereas Palace's is -8. The difference is that we scored a couple of goals during those five, whereas Palace haven't. But I'm not sure how that means their start was worse than ours. Despite SKY doing their best.
They should never have sacked pardew to be fair. Good manager. They haven't spoken about us much have they?
Coming up next (essentially Redknapp will be saying "big clubs will be looking at this lad Lemina, how long can Southampton hold on to him" - put your house on it).
