Match Day Thread Southampton v QPR,26/08/23,15:00 KO

Yeah I personally think Bazunu and McCarthy are a similar level, both are not PL quality. Maybe one will be slightly better than the other in the championship.

 

Brilliant work

All my socks are black too but the have tiny coloured flashes, so could end up with a pair of odd black socks. Fashion crisis at 73. Don’t have a dishwasher so rely on traditional crossed fingers and lots Oh, God please…….

 

I believe hitchhiking is due a comeback.

 

Fantastic

 

Cant be blaming the home fans for poor form anymore! (various posters over the years).

This is a huge endorsement of lower pricing and what it can do.

 

Why are we assuming Che isn't playing? I thought RM said he would be involved today.

 

And how people are willing to attend if there is a chance of a win or at least a valiant effort.

 

See you all there. I’ll be the one in the red and white stripes

 

I think he will be on the bench.

RM has suggested he will be involved, but also acknowledged he hasn't trained with the group we would expect.

 

Do we know what the two groups referred to are exactly? Couldn't it just be separating defenders and attackers?

 

No, he said he trains two groups. The starting team and those not directly expected to play.

 

30,000 people booing might put some people off

 

I'm also 73, a '49er, no dishwasher so don the same red threadbare underwear, black shorts and black Saints polo I've had for years. Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst. COYRs

 

As my mum always told me, should never wear old underwear in case you have an accident

 

Excited to see Downes in action. Hopefully Che plays a part otherwise our goal threat is greatly diminished.

 

Apparently Che didn't get of the team bus today to greet fans.

 

Traffic or toilet?

 

Players don't arrive at the ground 3 hours before kick off do they? It's normally a couple of hours or 90 mins before.
