Morning, folks. Today sees us enter into the majesty of the FA Cup. Nostalgia. Sunday afternoons in front of Match Of The Day as a child. Jumpers for goalposts. Not having to pay f*cking bills and mortgages on items you own, yet somehow invariably end up owning you. Ahhh, to…
Morning folks. Before I get into my review of the game, I feel it’s best to start by complimenting our opponents. Arsenal were undeniably poor last night, but that shouldn’t be used as a way of describing the result when Southampton acquitted themselves admirably. From the kick-off, they hassled and…
Morning, folks. At my gainful employment, I have the fortune to work with a father and son duo of Southampton fans. Unlike the Liverpool contingent there, both tend not to be rabid enthusiasts and blinded by their own allegiance. However, I always seem to find myself a touch more concerned…
