He's honestly so good the impact of the reassurance he gives the defence can't be understated. So often he punches or claims the ball from crosses

A lot of the romance is gone from football but it's so refreshing to see a team playing who look like they genuinely genuinely care. What a difference Mark Hughes has made!

Lol I suppose you've reffed loads of games and know how easy it is? I haven't, but it looks pretty hard and high pressured so I prefer not to go round slinging mud. You have to make hundreds of decisions in a game (and only make 1 mistake to get criticised), posistion yourself on the pitch and...

You're way way less likely to remember bad decisions which favour you though, we remember the bad ones because the sense of injustice is strong and that emotion gets tied to the memory. They might not have been so obvious but I'm sure there have been little fouls which could have been given in...

We played well Redmond made a huge difference. Mathematically it doesn't help us but we probably needed to beat Swansea anyway. It's a cup final now and although they have home advantage I think were good enough

The amount of goals which come from players keeping the ball in in those situations. Compared to from throws it should be row z every bloody time. It baffles me all the analysts haven't worked this out yet? Because the players clearly aren't told to put the ball out.

I really really hate having to read business speak bulls**t. Synergies? Pass me the flipping bucket. Good news about VVD if for no other reason than it's funny seeing a footballer not have it all their own way!

I don't think that's how football or at least saints work any more though. You can't really decide halfway through the window 'oh we need a new cb.' These deals are really long and complicated it seems so I reckon if we do have targets we'll already be working on them. Although of course I don't...

I get where people are coming from and obviously not nice for Puel. But this is top level pro sport and he's getting paid top dollar. That's the way these industries work unfortunately, not ideal but I'm sure Puel was aware this may happen.

Fair enough but assuming it's over 50 miller that's a hefty profit should be a good chunk more aswell. Obviously if we sell for 20 mil not so much haha

Yeh I mean I thought it was pretty obvious when he signed a new contract he would have been told he could leave if a decent offer came in. Why would he commit to such a long contract otherwise, would have been career suicide for him. This was clearly in both his and the club's plans and it's...

Anyone local what does the weather look like? BBC weather suggesting by 1 it will be raining rest of day, be such a shame to be denied victory by the rain, been such a good performance.

Great to see two homegrown spinners bowl out a team in the second inning! Great win

As a caveat though booing and hurling abuse at players/managers is infantile. While I can deal with saints loosing, I'll sing and shout and encourage while at the game, just all part of the fun. People getting so angry is just a bit pathetic really, it's only a bloomin game afterall!

I've gotten to a point in my life where most of my enjoyment from football is from the craft, beauty, skill, drama and entertainment it affords. When I was a couple of years younger literally all I cared about was that saints won but that's changed for me. I still love the club and love the...
