Match Day Thread Southampton v Arsenal Thursday 25th June 18:00

There are fewer things more satisfying in football than smashing Arsenal. I don't think it is quite the same since Wenger left but it is still enjoyable to put one over on the Gooners.

 

Going for a 2-0 Saints win....but then I have had two gins too quickly

 

So arsenal have signed cedric permanently despite not playing a single game.

 

It might have already been asked (sorry if it has but I can’t be arsed to go back and look) - can we stream this on Saints website? As it’s not on “ordinary” tv and I refuse to pay Murdoch any more money ......

 

No. ST holders can get a Now TV pass for free so they can watch the match.

 

Didn't know that. Haven't used Now TV since Swansea away on my birthday, when it froze just as Gabbi was pouncing in the box.

Do we have to access it via Saints Live, to get the free pass?

 

Hmmm - thanks, Tom. I share a ST with my friend’s son, so I’ll have to see if he’s using it to watch .....

 

I didn't read the email in great detail (as I have no need to use them), but I think it said all ST holders can claim vouchers from the club for two free passes. So even if your friend's son is using it, there's then the second one.

Of course if we're ever on non-free Sky again - and away to Bmouth must be a strong shout - that would leave you both without any more passes.

 

Is that a match pass for one game or for the remaining games? I read it as you can watch 2 games for free.

 

So has anyone else got the pass or do we get it tomorrow?
Mrs S is fretting

 

If the worst comes to the worst a Now TV Day Pass for Sky Sports costs £9.99.

(Or you could subscribe to IPTV.)

 

You can never have two gins too quickly, just think of it as one large gin that quenched your thirst!

Looks like you can email the club tomorrow.

 

I see there are 3 ex Liverpool players as pundits for the Liverpool v Palace game, which got me wondering.
Which 3 ex Saints players will be pundits for our game tomorrow?

 

Le Tissier isn't allowed to comment on saints games on SSN because of potential bias ... it's ok for Carragher and co though.

 

Redknapp and Souness are regulars tbf.

 

The day has come again. New avatar for the special occasion.

 

Match Day and I'm buzzing. Well not really. I'm not even moderately excited. This isn't real football and is not at all pleasing our exciting to watch.

I fell quite ambivalent about the match. Arsenal have always been my second team except when the very lovely Mrs Godders is about when I have to say it is Swansea.

My first visit to the Dell was to see Arsenal a game I enjoyed watching and decided to continue attending the Dell and so gradually Saints replaced Arsenal as my team. However you know what they say about your first love.

 

Matchday.
