    How many players can you think of that have played for both Saints and Eastleigh ? Now I do not know the exact number but i know of quite a few so I may learn a few more . This is just for fun. Former Saints players who have also managed or assistant managed Eastleigh may also count. I will start with Two Obvious ones

    Matt le Tissier and Francis Benali

    I have a weird idea that Ronnie Ekelund played a game or two as well.

    Pretty sure Psycho Mark Dennis was there back in the 80s or 90s too.

    Spits are a bit like Southampton, can't hold on to a lead!

    Have they changed the format of the NL play offs?

    On another note it's good to see Orient heading back into the football league.

    I have no idea how the play offs work . Guessing 4th play 6th and 5th play 7th then winners play off against 2nd and 3rd until two remain for the play off final or something like that.

    4v7, 5v6, 1 leg at the 4th/5th placed club. Then the winners play 2nd/3rd at their home, then Wembley.
