@UnderTheEast76 @ScummerLovin @liamtribb @jamie_grape @SFC_Chants Could well have been yes. I seem to remember MLT enjoying pinging it just over their heads on quite a regular basis too

@Eylesy78 @ScummerLovin @liamtribb @jamie_grape @SFC_Chants Was it vinny jones who hit one of them with the ball and then had to make an apology later?

Sing along with the band before the game. It genuinely sounds decent when it gets going like before the Arsenal match #SaintsFC

@UnderTheEast76 @ScummerLovin @liamtribb @jamie_grape @SFC_Chants As a kid at the Dell I used to quite enjoy the peril they were often in during the warm up….

@liamtribb @jamie_grape @SFC_Chants @ScummerLovin #saintsfc have had a brass band since the club was formed, the church used to provide the band, then in the 70's/80's it was the albion band, small break when we first moved to st mary's and now it's back. So as much a tradition as red/white shirts

@madaffc £30m in transfer fees and £140k a week. Bargain.

If you have a midfield of Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp, you deserve to be relegated.

@AlfieHouseEcho Won as many games against PL teams in 2 FA Cup games this season as 38 league games last season Alfie…. 🤷‍♂️

There’s a lot of credit to be dished out to just about everyone tonight. Club smashed pre-match build, staff set up cleverly, players gave everything required and fans stuck with it after equaliser. Not a very analytical post, but it’s hard to think past the emotion. #SaintsFC

@secondtierpod Won as many games against Premier League opposition in 2 FA Cup Games this season as we did in the whole of last season in 38 league games….

Tonda Eckert. That's it. That's the tweet.

One for you @ntv_so19 😉

@Cabbage_Face @TheSaintCentre Looking very confused as to why there is a bloke is waving a flag at him

@TheSaintCentre I bet he is offside, wherever he is

Happy 42nd birthday to Papa Waigo 🎉 The Senegalese striker scored five goals for Southampton during his loan spell from Fiorentina, including this strike in the club’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy victory #saintsfc

@willis_macp @Tom_Morgs Never mind staying in the job, has anyone ever asked how Key managed to go from being a TV commentator to Englands MD in the first place?

Increasingly looks like Rob Key's position as England MD is safe, as the Ashes review continues. Lingering uncertainty around whether Brendon McCullum will stay beyond WC. With @Tom_Morgs in Colombo telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2026/0…

@SouthamptonFC A small transfer fee for a player probably not on massive wages. One of the few defenders we have with the potential to improve. Seems like a strange decision which I think we will end up regretting. Time will tell.

We can confirm that Ronnie Edwards has completed a permanent transfer to QPR. All the best for the future, Ronnie 🤝

@AdamBlackmore Weve got no pace in the team as it is Adam come on

Well let’s have him back at #SaintsFc for the 2nd half of the season then - might get some much needed leadership on the pitch ….and the odd set-piece success

@AlfieHouseEcho I think this will turn out to be a mistake. Ok he hasnt been brilliant (who has?!?!?) but he still has the potential to improve - unlike some of the others.

Told this is likely. It’s a bit of a strange one, can understand why all parties would go for it but I’d probably rather keep him for another season in the Championship. No doubt he’ll hit the ground running at QPR, which he hasn’t done at Saints. At least it’s profit. #SaintsFC

@L1minus10 Also birmingham got the ball anyway - they just chose to then give it back to us

Don’t quote me on this but I think the game only stops if the ball hits the referee. If a player runs into him then it’s tough shit. #saintsfc

@AlfieHouseEcho Surely thats enough for Bazunu now? A blind man can see he isnt good enough

Goal. Birmingham ahead in comic fashion. 1-0 #SaintsFC

@liamtribb I dont expect one that saves everything. I just think we need a better one. A much better one. If we had one then the defence would be a lot less jittery

@Eylesy78 Nope - keepers can’t save everything

Need 2/3 new centre backs in January if we actually want to go up

@SteveGrant1983 @willis_macp Ive still never really understood how Key went from talking shite in “the pod” watching kent vs essex in the T20 to suddenly being in charge of the england team? How and why did that happen?

@willis_macp A reflection of Blob Key's accountability-free reign. Get him and "Baz" gone.

The individual doing post-play press duties is normally a decent tell as to how a team is going. This week, for England, David Saker spoke on day 1, and Marcus Trescothick on day 2.

@FroggattSimon @CricketopiaCom For a nation that likes to call us whingers, they certainly do like whinging…

@CricketopiaCom From a nation that still whines about a tailender not walking 10 years ago

The boos continue as Steve Smith walks out to bat. But is this still justified? How long will it go on? It feels like only the English crowd persists with this kind of reception, while most other cricket fans around the world moved on long ago.

@AlfieHouseEcho We want 10 Alfie….

HT: Saints 3-0 Leicester City. Ridiculous stuff again tonight. Some of the most enjoyable football I've ever watched, Saints or otherwise. Harwood-Bellis brace, Azaz on fire and Manning a real asset. Against 10 men for a whole half still to come, we want some more. #SaintsFC

@rees_julian If SR are being blinded by the 2 wins hes had then they are even more clueless than I thought. QPR not great at all and my dog could have managed us to a win over sheff weds ffs Hes the Cheap option / Spors’ mate thats all it is

That’s not to say he won’t land the role permanently. I personally think he will get the gig, (unless someone really stands out) especially if he remain in charge and then beats Charlton after the break.

We are told nothing has changed with Tonda Eckert. He is still the interim manager for now. #SaintsFC

@AlfieHouseEcho You can only have an interim boss for so long before the players can use it as an excuse for bad performances. Also, dont overlook the standard of opposition in the 2 wins - QPR very up and down and sheff weds in a right mess. Get on with it and dont waste time we dont have

Probably agree with George here. It’s a tricky one because you don’t want to under-sell Tonda Eckert’s potential but we’ve seen the risks of appointing interims before. No need to rush, happy to let it run for a bit longer if there’s no standout candidate elsewhere. #SaintsFC
