Southampton (H) League Cup Post-Match Thread

Wikipedia has him 5-8, and there is no way I'm taller than him, and I'm 5-9.

I think wiki has him 178cm which is 5-10 in old money.
He looks a bit bigger than that but he’s not 6 foot.

Well the sports briefing on the BBC this morning completely ignored any British football results from Tuesday night , managed to tell me that the scum and dippers are playing tonight though!

that’s a decent turnout for them on a Tuesday night after a 9-0 thrashing.

It's almost as though they bought tickets and booked time off work before Leicester hammered them.

Radio commentator on GMR Minay mentions empty seats at least 300 times

Nicky Weaver must not ever be used again, "Er sniff yeah sniff sniff, " as a reporter/celebrity he is a glottal disaster, paired with the extremely unwitty anchor who found his many ways of slagging the attendance to be "funny" . " Dire" is being kind to the twat.....

That pic alone plus a comment abòut his other granddad would have been a good football/human interest snippet on the City-less BBC briefing mentioned above and the Breakfast sports news. The Haka and Xhaka seem more important plus the 'news' Liverpool play tonight.

True, but still a far better turnout than I expected

GMR is dire, I've had no options recently whilst working/driving, but to listen to it's horrendous commentary.

Tuned in mid match and they talked about everything else for up to 8 minutes before mentioning what was happening on the pitch. How hard can it be to talk about the match.

Frustrating and dire, GMR has died since cheesy left, used to religiously listen to the pre match, but rarely switch it on due to its poor content.

City need their own match day radio channel with stats and in depth commentary of what's happening ON the pitch.

GMR is a Luke warm attempt, it's a complete waste of time. It doesnt immerse you in the match, I often start swapping channels in the hope of finding out what's going on ON the pitch.

I was working for the first half so had it on in the background, I didn't know we'd scored till about 10 mins later when he updated us.
Flatter than a witch's tit!
Wheres Andy Buckley gone?

 

[hello]

turned it training session which was a shame because we could easily had 6 youth team player on at end

what to expect from Southampton at weekend even more time wasting

We had 6 in the squad
Angelino
Garica
Doyle
Foden
Bernabe

All played, and I am not sure Poveda is much to much covering LB, so not sure that should have been tried.
