To be fair, McCarthy only played last night because they couldn't source a goalie's shirt with 'STEPHENS' on the back at such short notice.
That one was for Nick. |

Fantastic. I seem to get stuck at each of the one million traffic lights every time I drive into Soton. Maybe we should employ Dan to think up a few songs for us. |

I've been in the Northam for the cup games this season and I thought it was fine. The nippers at the back reminded me a bit of the Milton Muppets at The Dell. I'd get a ST in there but at my age I'm a bit concerned about whether I can stand up for the whole game if my back gives up on me. That said, being a tight old git, if they keep the price low I'm definitely up for it. |

Nick's dislike for Jack Stephens goes right back to the League Cup final when he blames him for losing the match (I personally tended to blame Jamie Vardy for stamping on VVD's ankle, but hey-ho). Since then there has not been a wasted opportunity to have a dig. Just lately the dislike has really been cranked up. If we lose, Stephens is to blame. If we draw, Stephens is to blame. And now, most bizarrely, even when we win, Stephens is to blame. Apparently the Cov goal last night was down to Stephens not being able to organise the defence (and not down to Bree/Arma failing to track their man). Stephens was even described in one post as being 'cumbersome' in the second half. I can't say I noticed that personally, but I do like the word 'cumbersome'. However, I do recall Nick being irrationally critical of SRL on occasions (although I think that may have been down to some Scouse turf war), so if I was Jack Stephens I wouldn't be too upset by all the stick. |

They don't charge all their own fans £47. Behind the goals it's £41 or £34 (depending on the opposition). They get away with it because they shove the away fans in a corner of their main stand where their own supporters are thick enough to pay 47 quid. Horrible club. |

I guess it's because he's very good with his feet. The same reason why most of the team are selected. They all fit in perfectly with the tippy tappy style. Which is absolutely fine if you score five goals every week. But not so fine if you don't and you end up needing to defend for your lives. It's a dilemma. Some of our play last night was a joy to watch, like a throwback to the Keegan era, but then some of the defending was like watching us last season. Ultimately, if Russell Martin wants to succeed here long term he'll either have to adapt his playing style, or bankrupt the club by bringing in some new players who can fit in with it.
Still, it's now essentially a three game season. And maybe with so much at stake in the play-offs they won't all stand around in the 97th minute staring at the ball while a bloke lying on the ground toe pokes it into the net. We shouldn't give up hope just yet. |

Saw Chala play for the reserves at Staplewood a few times. Mystifying how he could look so totally out of his depth even in our reserve team when he played 86 times for his country. I read somewhere yesterday that Sergei has sadly been diagnosed with Parkinsons recently. |

I've got a slight groin strain and a fungal nail infection, but I should be fit for the Middlesbrough game. |

To be fair to the club, they were probably too busy trying to think of hilarious fire related songs for their half time playlist. |

yep, I remember going to the replay. Cruising at 3-0 but nearly ended up throwing it away. I think Simon Charlton did a fantastic match-saving header in the dying seconds. Got a lift there and back with a chap who saw speed limits as a challenge rather than a warning. If Wigan was the scariest journey weatherwise, Crewe was undoubtedly the scariest from a psychopathic driver point of view. |

Didn't we once have a cup tie at The Dell postponed not because of a frozen pitch but because of frozen pipes in the bogs? When the match was replayed I'm sure I recall the away fans singing "Where's your plumber gone?" [Post edited 7 Mar 7:28]

Would that be 17 goal, second highest scorer in the Championship Adam Armstrong, or a different Adam Armstrong? |

'Small-brain'? Absolutely hilarious. How long did it take you to think that one up? Were you the one who sent that tweet? |

Fortunately we know from your bizarre and slightly alarming obsession with JWP that your views on any subject are about as pointless and insignificant as your tiny little brain. |
