As some of you may know I am stuck with my leg up for 14 days after surgery. This has led me to a lot of YouTubing. Just watched the extended highlights of the Leicester game again. I still went mental with Mannings equaliser and shouted the house down with Charles's winner. Dog thinks I am mental.
Dog's initial diagnosis of mental confirmed I'd say.

Just had a chance to watch this fully. Has to be said, I completely agree with everything he says in this. He was really unfortunate in how things didn’t click & use’s the right examples of Liverpool in league cup & Swansea at home. Win those 2, confidence is up and it could’ve been very different for him. He had such a bloated squad and is clear he had decision fatigue and just couldn’t quite work out the jigsaw puzzle. I can only imagine it must be very difficult when you’re a new person, in a new country / footballing culture and trying to please so many people and build a chemistry in such a large squad. Everyone has their own egos & such too, so must been hard.

All that said, the time he lost his job was so necessary for our progression to where we are now & that’s where SR got it right, the most this season for me. Having a new manager bounce at the time we did and Tonda making the changes he did were massive.

I really do think Will Still will go on to do well in another job. Feel as though maybe he would do better in a project that needs a total rebuild with a squad of not enough players rather than too many. Maybe Sheff Wed would be a good place to restart? Gets to harness their young players, build from absolute scratch, new ownership, excitement for future without the pressure as no one expects anything & without the bloated squad and prima donna attitude that some of our lot had from being Prem players before. Could raid the loan market to hand pick the types of players he really needs, maybe even have his pick a few of the younger talented players from Saints that he knows from his time here that need minutes at senior level?

Genuinely wish him all the best, a lot more than I could ever say about Martin who I’m happy to see has fell flat on his charlatan face!
There's a manager's job going at Watford.

I hope you've spent the time watching our episode with Andy Wilman (on repeat).

If you were a top gear/ grand tour fan…….then it’s definitely worth a watch.

I quite like driving programmes even though I don't really like driving fast. This is probably in no small way related to every course I've been on me nearly ****ing it up spectacularly. Slow and steady wins the race....

I as a fan of car shows found this fascinating, Jodie Kidd comes across very well, and I found the bit about about Daniel Craig fascinating as well.
 
Got my tickets through for the second leg. Going to be an interesting day of travels, as I'm due to land back in London from Philadelphia at about 8am on matchday, all being well. Will get the matchsticks at the ready. Thankfully managed to get the matchday and day after the game off work, so my plan is to head to Southampton asap and try and get some kip pre-game, otherwise I'm not sure I'll be much fun <laugh>

Hope it doesn’t go to extra time and pens then. :emoticon-0113-sleep:emoticon-0113-sleep
