Watched the celebration and yes he should be in trouble. Can’t run into the pitch like that. Along the sideline no worries


Absolutely. other things I didn't like about it:

1. It's the players moment, let them have it
2. If you want to celebrate with the players there's plenty of them sitting right behind you on the bench

Like I said, love the bloke, but think he could have handled that better.

Saints have sacked Mark Hughes. It's been a disastrous 18 months .... about to appoint their 4th manager and the recruiting has been poor. Also, the Footbal Director was sacked earlier this season. Whoever takes over will have a toigh job as they have just an average squad.

Should’ve gone weeks ago. I said at the end of last season they shouldn’t appoint him, look at his record...
This seasons biggest problem has been giving up leads.
Led Leicester at home, lost in the 92nd, led Brighton at home 2-0, they pinch a draw in the 90th, led Watford at home, they level in the 82nd, led Fulham away but lost, 2-0 up v Man Utd on the weekend, another draw.
Add to this a terrible final 10 mins at Wolves which looked like a draw only to concede 2 and the playing Bournemouth & Newcastle off the park only to get a point.
I think the squad is a bit better than average, with the right manager they should’ve been vying for a top 10 finish. There are plenty of teams in the league who are far worse than Saints IMO.

Remains a mystery to me how this bloke keeps getting a gig. He’s one of those revolving door types of managers. That said, as alluded to above, unfortunately the Saints problems don’t appear all down to him. Hope they stay up and and bring a few decent players in before next season.

I didn’t have a problem with what Klopp did. He wasn’t in the face of the opposition sideline, players or inciting the Everton supporters. He ran up to his own keeper & hugged him. He got caught up in the moment, it’s a Merseyside derby FFS won in the sixth minute of injury time.
We’ve gone PC mad if we can’t appreciate this for what it is. Unfortunately the FA will feel the need to look to be doing something to appease those who are “offended”...

Watched a bit of Man U v Arsenal as Spurs killing Southampton was so boring, Arsenal looked the better side and deserved better than a draw from what I saw.
A good week for Spurs, moved from 4th to 3rd ! :D

2-2 was probably fair. Both sides gave as good as they got although I did think our first goal was just offside. Both sides had periods of dominance but Arsenal tired a bit towards the end

It was a nice moment when a couple of minutes after Jose kicked the wall in anger that he gave a high five to a young fan sitting the other side of the wall realising he hadn't set the best example for the youngster.

Started work early today due to heat so couldn’t watch the game. From what I’ve heard it was quite a chaotic match. Most fans disappointed we didn’t get the win but 4 points from 6 against spurs and UTD in the same week I’d take that any day of the week.

Was a fair result, disappointed with how we conceded both goals, especially the 2nd but would have probably taken a point at the start of the game tbh as I thought there may have been a let down after Sunday night. I left for work at the 85th min mark & thought we may concede as it was noticeable we had hit a brick wall by then. Onto Huddersfield this week, just need to get the 3 pts & then can have a week off with all the kids to play Europa next Friday. Again as MH said, would have taken 4 pts out of 6 in these two matches before sunday night so going well & still on track to hopefully finish top 4

Welcome Ralph .... go well. Looks like we will attempt to return to a high energy pressing game that brought us success under Poch and Koeman. Hope the players are ready for the challenge.
