An interesting piece on the Saints this morning at about 5.45 on Radio 5's Friday Night Social. Use this link and it starts at 45.30 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0833w1z#play
Bad enough I couldn't get the day off to go today, but now I am stranded at work with a Bulgarian Liverpool fan who keeps telling me we are going to get overrun from all angles. Please Saints, don't let that happen. With Coutinho, Firminho and Lallana all apparently doubtful, they don't sound so scary anyway. We can win this one. Those going to the game, don't forget to give Lovren absolute pelters. And Lallana if he plays.
I wonder what sort of reception Mane will get. For me, the only one that should get a bad reception is Lovren.
Have never agreed with giving Lallana stick. Sure he didn't handle his departure from Saints well but he gave us many years of service, getting us to the Premier League in the process.
Mane shouldn't receive a poor reception. He did extremely well for us and did nothing wrong when he left. Amazing player who I'm desperately hoping goes missing today.
My first home game for many years, having just moved back to Hampshire after 40 years away. Will get the bus from Chandler's Ford. Which pubs are worth a pre game pint?
Sorted. 11:40 taxi to Bournemouth Station, 12:06 train, Southampton Central 12:33. Taxi to pub, there by 12:45. Hopefully wine in hand by 12:50, food in stomach by 1:30. I don't like eating in front of FLT since he's lost weight
We were all pissed off at the time, but both us and the player have moved on since then. I have only so much dislike....I'm saving it for Koeman this season. Next season, who knows.
No reason not to give him stick though. For most of the season I'm happy to wish him well. For 90 minutes (well 65) I want him to have an absolute nightmare, if he plays.
Good luck for the rest of the season guys, even for today! Hope it's a good game with plenty of goals! (Providing we score them of course! )
He hasn't travelled so he won't play mate. Expect Mane, Clyne and Lovren to play though, and fully expect Lovren to get stick. Not sure the other two will deserve stick should they get it
Yep, Louvren I dislike - he was a prick. The others I am more annoyed that they still don't play for us - except maybe Clyne. Damn! Just jinxed it. Going to put a tenner on Clyne to score.....
If Jose scores today, will that mean Liverpool will be in for him next summer, thus sparking a bidding war with Man U? Wouldn't mind that so much.
We'll all be in the Old Farmhouse,Mount Pleasant Road - short walk to St Mary's. Come and say hello - we're usually in the garden out the back if it's not raining. Just holler "not 606" and we'll grab you!
