Just tough it through this season and we'll be back to normal. The players need to be professional and do their part as well but I agree empty seats are a killer
I've got no respect for people who buy a ST and don't go. It was obvious that this would happen. Half of them aren't supporters, they're day trippers - picking and choosing depending on the opposition.
Nah - not for me.
Strange day - draw...... When Kame dosnt score it seems he gets in the way . Son ,you forget he was there. Concede, our defence is all over the place and our FBs are slow. Sissoko is shite and we need to buy players and question marks over Pochs ability to game plane and so on. Playing exactly the same and win- all's well?
We are a team that relies on being match sharp and having confidence . Poch does make some poor calls but gets it spot on most times.
We need to pull together, get energy from all the doubters and become strong. I feel we will struggle in the PL but do well in the CL.

Thought Wood looked dangerous when he came on. Would have been a better backup option than Janssen
His first 5 attempts to run in behind were all offside - I don't think he looked dangerous at all until we went headless chicken - he looked like a championship forward until the goal.
We bottled it and didn't keep hold of the ball in the last 10 minutes. Still surprised he took Eriksen off as he's one of the main calming influences in moments like that
Yes empty seats all around, any figures on official attendance? I would guess around 50000?
67,862
It said 67000+ on MOTD
Maybe, but my point is that so many ST holders were absent. The members and casual general sale buyers bailed us out, and it's going to fuck with attendance at the new ground.
We'll have 90,000 for Real Madrid - glory hunting twats.
Too many theatre goers ruin it for the ones who would give a nut for the club. A shame
This is probably what Rose was pissed off about when he said some players have no competition and are guaranteed starters no matter what happens. Many Southampton fans said that Poch had favourites who he would never drop - Dele and Eriksen seem to fall into both those categories. Undropable, not due to form, but due to a lack of competition and a managers liking. Lamela getting injured didn't help either.
Poch did speak about needing people who genuinely think they will challenge the likes of Dele and Kane earlier in the summer. Maybe the penny has dropped with him but the club are slightly behind on being in sync with him. Maybe the start to our season has woke them up. It'll be a big 4 days for our club now regardless
Also I noticed how deflated the whole team looked at the final whistle. Hands on hips, dragging themselves off the pitch type thing. Much better than swapping shirts etc as it shows some do care
Well when half of your ST holders live in America and the Outer Hebrides it is a shame. Think about someone who went for the first time today? What did they see? Yes, empty seats in the top tier - that's to be expected, but so many empty seats in the lower tier that are hogged by ST holders who couldn't be arsed. People blame Wembley, but they're wrong - it's our own fans that are causing this problem. Still never mind, you'll all be guaranteed a ticket in the new ground where you'll still pick and choose and hope to make a modest profit on the TX scheme when you choose to go bowling because we're playing Stoke.

Well that was an interesting day.
Felt ill halfway through the first half (don't know if it was the sun or something I ate), but went and spewed in the bogs at about 40 minutes. Did the same again around 60 minutes then had to leave as I felt like shite.
Got back to where my car was parked but felt awful, so checked myself in to a premier inn in Ruislip, and slept for a few hours. Finally felt well enough to get back in the car at 1115 and just got home.
Day to forget all round, I think.
