Match Day Thread Europa League Special: Inter Milan vs Southampton 20/10/16 KO 6pm

Lots of tweets about a fan in the Camp Nou in the green away muvi strip, he apparently is from the USA? and is on his way to the game tomorrow! Named as Blaise Bourgeois.

 

What a great name!

 

Thats a big help as i did not know it was being shown. Nice one

 

That Steve Claridge has entertained me on many a Monday evening during The Monday Night Club on Radio 5. Where he has said excellent things about Saints, and also got other pundits to acknowledge us, when really they want to talk about top 4 clubs; and generally has been a bloody nice and informed bloke, which helps to make him a pretty decent co-commentator. Also, he's one bloke who Chris Sutton doesn't seem to want to face off, so he gets positives for that too.

 

Every UK European fixture is televised each year now

 

OK, it's time to ask that $64K question. Why the **** do footballers drink from the side of their mouths? What happened during the years when they drank from the centre of their mouths to these days? Just before Extra Time in the 1966 World Cup Final, the players drank from the centre of the mouths, So what is the big deal.? They even put the bottle upto their mouths centrally and then pull it to one side. I wouldn't care but you see do-bat kids following their example!

 

City down to 10 men. That's going to be a tiring 2nd half for the City players.

 

Tadic more alert than usual...he usually looks like he has just come out of a coma.

 

Quite right too. You have what you want and nothing else. The internet and your computer are your servants. Not the other way around.

 

Gosh! It's so comforting to know that we don't give a ****.

 

Should do. We've got to play them less than 72 hours after our victory in Milan

I meant in terms of them doing well in the Champions League. Good point you make though. BTW, I like you style.

 

Well,you learn something new everyday

 

And the internet means that practically every one of them is streamed. I love the internet. It's a great leveller.

 

Charlie Nicholas says 0-0. Hasn't anyone told him we're going to win this one?

 

The two Croats Brozovic and Perisic are the two that worry me and it will be a real test defensively for our full-backs if they get going. It is a game you feel suited to the likes of Long, if he can stay onside! Hopefully we are not too defensive like against Hapoel.

Eitherway, looking forward to it.

 

On a fantastic side-note, Dirk De Ridder, father of Steeeeeeeeeeeeve is one of the many Saints going to the game! Love that!

 

About to head out to the coach station to get the 12:40 from Bournemouth. Gets me to Heathrow for 3am...flight at 6:45am. Hope a bar is open

No doubt all you narcoleptics will hear from me on the way
