The Round Ball Game

[Alison]

Studying the table the loser at St Marys Stadium today is in a fair amount of trouble.

Feeling a bit edgy!

you're not wrong, although the Foxes are surely way too good to go down.

And we really need at least a back up centre half to boot. At the moment we have only an almost untried youngster and Gardos who has been injured for 2 years.

Lets hope it's a good game.

Perhaps, but I think that there are clubs below them already in more serious trouble and likely to remain so.

Bit of a shocker from the Foxes. Oh dear.

Bad luck Alison, but bit of a shocker is right. No doubt you saw the game, but the Foxes were poor, I'm afraid. Most of the problems seem to stem from midfield, where we had an iron grip. City did look very bright on the break, and Gray was sharp, but with the amount of possession we had,and the fact that we had our shooting boots on for once,the Leicester defence was always going to struggle.
A good day for me to have use of our shared season tickets today.

A Classy effort from Saints today , and a great morale boost before the semi on Wednesday. Hope VVD isn't too badly injured though.

Thanks to ER for the weekend round ups, and sorry about Stockport's own shocker yesterday.

What a shambles the Owls made of that. All made worse by 2 totally unnecessary red cards. Decent game, but more for drama than quality.

Both my teams done well! Sorry TS! The Toon whitewash as well against Rotherham

Well done Saints ......

Just left teamsaint at Waterloo after gig. I think we can safely say he's happy!

[Alison]

Congratulations to Southampton and Sainty. Well deserved over the two legs not to mention earlier rounds. Will our friend get to Wembley?

Thanks Alison.
The concert more or less kept my mind off events at Anfield.
After losing two semis to Liverpool in the 80's, ( and an even more painful one against Everton), it was finally our turn, and with our talisman centre half missing.

Don't know if I'll get a ticket yet, should have a fighting chance. I was at the cup final with my two lads in 2003, and the League cup final in '79, so not the end of the world if I miss out.

Bad luck Jayne. Hopefully we can do the decent thing and win against( presumably) united.

Oh, and Beefy, sorry if I was a bit distracted.

were you saying something about Bruckner ?

[johncorrigan]

Congrats Sainty...terrific stuff.

[Beef Oven!]

Oh, and Beefy, sorry if I was a bit distracted.

were you saying something about Bruckner ?

I also said that it will be a boring final with Manchester United trouncing you.
