Good to see Frannie, Le Tiss and Ralph Krueger running the Southampton half marathon today. Benali still looks fit enough to be playing; Matty slightly less so, but fair play to him as I doubt he did any training. And its great that Ralph is doing his bit and being part of the community. They were all running for the Saints Foundation.

Interesting interview with McMenemy about his career and cup win. Sorry to hear that he feels badly done by at Saints. :(

Lawrie was brilliant back in the day although there is still a widely held view that Bates was the one working out tactics and so on in 1976. Later on, of course, it was he who left us to join Sunderland and I seem to remember some pretty disparaging words about the supporters and the lack of passion and how the North East was a proper footballing area.

Was he hard done by? Maybe, but he partly brought it on himself. He also has his own version of history. Would Terry Paine describe events in the same way for example!?

Indeed. Been recently watching some of the games he featured in last season, especially the Away games against ManU and Newcastle, and he was pretty damn good in both. Also had a little tinge of what if, during the Newcastle game, as Gardos was filling in for the Belgian bloke, plus we had an entire first select midfield out with injury, and still we beat them 2-1 at St James Park. And Newcastle were playing OK, too. Elia scored his two Premier League goals on that night.

The commentator was saying... Can The Saints do it.? If they can we've got to start believing in them [we were a solid 3rd in the PL at the time going into February]. When Elia scored, he shouted ...and they are at it again!

Doesn't half put a smile on your face hearing that kind of stuff. Blimey, some of the football we were playing too. Better than most of this season. Gardos was and is a good player and he was a part of all that. Have no qualms about him coming in if either VVD or Jose get injured. Perhaps even Jose's worthy successor [sorry Fran].

In the very early days Gardos was ahead of Toby. I remember being very impressed by him. If he can get back to that form then he will definitely feature for us in the future, especially should we make Europe (or when they turn VVD into a world class centre forward!)..

I'd forgotten this but there was a moment yesterday when (not from a corner, from a normal attack) VVD ended up on the edge of their six-yard box. I suspect there may have been a bet involved, he was so desperate to get forward.

I don't ever recall Gardos being ahead of Toby. Toby signed on deadline day and maybe didn't play the first game but certainly went in from then on.

I think I remember Toby playing in some kind of defensive midfield role occasionally. I also remember it not working.

Yes, definitely. First few games. He looked good too. I remember thinking it wrong that Toby got in. Soon changed ny mind though!

In other news, former Saints winger Eljero Elia scored the winner for Feyenoord in the Dutch Cup final.

That's Feyenoord's first trophy win since 2008.

Ronald was quick to congratulate on Twitter.
