Match Day Thread Spurs v Saints Sunday 19/3 at 02.15 pm

Manolo hat trick. Heard it here first.

 

Mmm you may not have been first

 

He got dragged off for scoring it, may not have been according to the script?

 

Am I right in saying this is bt sports not sky?

 

Don't ask Fran!

I think it is on Sky Sports 1

 

Afraid not - check page 9, post #178

 

Has Cedric taken over from the other Portuguese fella, who used to post positive stuff on Twitter?

 

Think he has! But the other person has stressed it wasn't his fault. Many many times.

 

Crazy that we are still 10th.

Pochettino praises Gabbiadini....well, you'd have to be blind and deaf not to, but article goes on to suggest that perhaps Spurs will make a bid for him in the summer. He's not on loan, moron, he's our player and will not be sold after a few months.

 

And the relegation zone has moved 2 points closer in 2 games, so if we lose all of the last 12 games we will stay up on GD (probably).

 

Don't think he's been here long enough to accumulate the sufficient amount of Saints dust needed to avoid being wrecked by Spurs or Liverpool.

 

Perhaps the article should be focused on who will be the manager of Spurs next season

 

Just come from looking at the PL table and thought similar to that too. At least one of the bottom three have to pick up and I don't think any of them have got it in them. All Swansea have to do is chug along, getting the odd few points here and there and I'm sure they'll be safe too.

 

I'd have to disagree with that. I personally think ours is the best in the division, and have for a long time.

Been meaning to post this for a long time now, but I saw an Instagram post by Alice Rawsthorn OBE - ex-Director of the Design Museum, trustee of the Whitechapel Gallery, and judge sitting on Turner Prize and Stirling Prize panels amongst others - a while back. She said to her 35k followers, below an image of the Saints emblem:

'Dearly though I love the feisty Red Devil on Manchester United's crest, the most engaging Premiership emblem is Southampton's. The legacy of a 1970s design competition for the club's supporters, it sports water for the city's docks, a tree from the nearby New Forest, the civic symbol of a white rose and Southampton's red and white-striped scarf tied around a football topped off with a golden halo alluding to the club's nickname "the saints"'.

 

That's actually incorrect. The scarf represents our once thriving scarf industry at the turn of the century, on which much of the city's wealth was based. And we were known at the time as the 'ball, scarf, see, trees'. This was later shortened to 'saints' due to the difficulty in chanting this at matches.

 

Match day - buzzing ( and snoozing)

 

It's a crap badge, let's face it.
