Bazunu's injury serious for Southampton?

Yep, 12.30pm and 5.30pm are regular this season already, more so the 12.30 slot to sometimes rival TNT's PL showing. I wonder if they'll end up splitting some midweek fixtures - perhaps 6pm and 8pm? Or 7.15pm and 8. 15pm like they do with some PL games. There's gonna be too much football on at any given time. Overkill is approaching!

A potential giant-killing at home and then a replay away at the bigger side (potentially) is better, no? I'm not sure how scrapping replays is a positive thing for lower league clubs. All this does is just cater to the bigger sides (top 6)?

I think if they're going to lose replays, they should incorporate automatically having the lower league club play at home home (if 2 or more divisions below the opponent). So if a non-league side makes it to the 2nd or 3rd round, they're not facing a bigger club away, and can play them at home. Or League Two would by default play the tie at home if initially drawn as the away club against Championship/PL side.

Shit for lower league clubs. Find it quite telling that 'changes come as part of a new 6-year agreement between FA and Premier League'. No doubt managers like Klopp, Pep, Arteta had a big say in persuading PL to voice for these changes...

They're just your run of the mill ex-pro's who feel like they have a elevated status of knowledge just because of that. But if they do, they don't show it. I know Merson has/had his problems away from football but I genuinely feel like Sky have kept him on out of pity. He's actually a really bad pundit - doesn't care for players names, thinks it's funny when he gets them wrong, terrible on Soccer Saturday when it comes to actually explaining what's happened. Sherwood is worse. Comes across as an arrogant piece of shit that thinks he knows better than everyone else. Similar traits to Merson in just writing off any club or player that isn't English, and again thinks he's funny for it.

My turn!

Was really hoping Rudiger would miss.

Extra time and pens. No away goals.

Deserved for Man City.

Proper bullet header!

Foden's being marked out the game so far. He's everywhere. Such a class player.

Great save from Ederson but can't keep out the rebound.

Literally no one needed or cared for that 'reminder'

Superb. Well done. Perhaps it's more fitting it's the final day? Bet it's a big relief to have it approved nonetheless!

One game to go in National League. 5 teams trying to avoid that final relegation spot. Boreham Wood play Ebbsfleet...

Just heard on SSN that Southampton play 3 times before Ipswich do again. Southampton come about from nowhere and could be above Ipswich by the time they play again. Hopefully we can put a stop to that next Tuesday...

Thought the Wigan loss would break them but beating Oxford away to hang on to a playoff chance is superb. Winnable fixtures remaining too. Oxford vs Stevenage on Friday too.

Delighted for Dortmund.

Fleetwood pretty much need to win to stay in with a chance of surviving and they've missed two penalties away at Peterborough.

Frightening to think Southampton could overtake us next Tuesday. Not saying it will, but it's possible.

Lose. Break their momentum.

Badly phrased by me - meant the training kit as well as King Power doing main tops.

They should get their act together then!

Be nice if we had better sponsors than FBS. Even going back to King Power looked better on the shirts. Any chance of Walkers making a comeback...?! I'm guessing we're still with Adidas too for a couple more seasons?
