Racist racist or the fairly standard songs about the Welsh?

Willock misses a penalty to make it five. Tee hee.

Mbengue tends to be less of a disaster at home than away.

Apart from that just whoever fancies a game.

You assume there’s a logic to it. There doesn’t seem to be. Sky must move a few seemingly at random.

They seem to have as many injuries as we do, assuming those who missed the weekend aren’t back. Agyemang and Cashin particularly important. Still too good a side to be where they are with the manager they have IMO so pressure on them.

Plus another reunion with lovely Dion, hopefully doing Dion things.

Kemper got booked for having a shot from that Smyth knockdown that was about a millimetre out of play. Like he’s trying to delay their goalkeeper taking a goal kick he has to go and grab the ball for half an hour into the game.

If he hadn’t (correctly) sent off Bragg I’m sure Azaz walks.

Does my head in that referees aren’t wise to it.

Azaz very fortunate to only get a yellow just now. Hope Cirkin isn’t watching.

Decent game in the much overhyped South coast derby.

1-0 Saints but just down to ten men. Ref has already been conned by Manning into one Pompey booking.

I think he should be a good old-fashioned utility man given half our squad at any one time is unavailable, as much as I’m sure he sees himself in a particular position and wants to play there. They don’t really exist any more but it suits a guy who is ok at everything and not great at anything. Still think there’s something in there and he’s perhaps not helped by the move away from 4-4-2 and being an option on the right of that.

There rarely is and I’m sure there wasn’t today. Especially if Saracens are playing or there’s a village fete on.

It’s given as a foul 99/100 times. Bowen had lost his head a bit and dived in in that way referees are generally hot on. If Vale doesn’t turn to make it a tackle from behind then fair enough but he’s not giving that the other way in a million years.

Feel this country would avert 1% of its decline if anyone taking a selfie video during a football match was shot. I’d vote for it anyway.

You can’t be giving fouls against the great Jarrod Bowen doing everyone a favour to get £4m a year to play against pleb teams like us.

He was frustrated, dives in for what is probably an aggressive but clean tackle if Vale doesn’t move his body to make it a very obvious foul. Young ref, probably the biggest game of his life and certainly knew he’d made a howler in the first half then did his utmost to even it up for the entire second. The one where Kone was holding the ball up for about three days as the defender fouled him was laughable.

Bit surprised tbh. It’s a dump and we’ve played there a billion times before and people may be making the financial decision to skip it between West ‘am and Southampton. Got fairly reasonable trains a while ago including the South coast to London legs of the journey. The LSA are doing a coach too.

In theory it could mean a five day ban from club football I believe. The wording isn’t very consistent though- either the club forced him to return early, seemingly unlike the various other players we have around the world right now, or didn’t.

Much easier of course to just tell your national team manager you don’t fancy it and get a few weeks with your feet up á la Palmer and Rice.
