    The great scribes of Southampton have been at work.

    He's the Ken-yan
    The migh-ty Kenyan
    Victor Wan-Yamaaa

    Repeat

    Then it's
    A-Wan-Yama, A-Wan-Yama etc

    You get Lad points for doing the high noted "Ooooooooooo..." Over the top of the chorus

    For my little dig at the lyrics, I think it's good to sing to a tune you don't hear at other grounds all the time.

    I think we should be able to have a better song for Mané too

    I didn't hear that the other night. I like it. I'm in and will work on the block 35 boys and girls.

    Sadio Mane still needs Radio Gaga to get going properly. It will be disappointing if that opportunity is missed. Even the clapping sections are perfect for football fans. Maybe we should ask Vitesse to help us out :)

    I think it needs "The Victor Wan-yamaa" Or even "The Lion Wan-yamaa"

    I fear the song West End Girls might be referring to escort ladies. ;)

    Talking of which, there were 2-3 hanging around where I parked my car on Thursday night when we got back to it. Not very pleasant. This was off empress road and by an alley way that linked empress road and mount pleasant. The other end of the alley is about 100 yards from the North end of Derby road, so I assume Derby road is still the centre of that type of activity?

    AIK lost 3-1 at home, so Jos probably won't get his wish to play at SMS. I'm sorry too.

    Will we still be a seeded team for the next round? or are we likely to get someone half decent?

    Excellent question that I will happily sink 20 minutes into. Let's take a look.

    There's 22 ties in the play-off round, so we need to be in the top 22 UEFA coefficients out of the 44 teams. There will be 29 winners from the Europa League 3rd round, and 15 losers from the Champions League 3rd round. We're the 16th highest* in the current Europa League round, so we need teams above us in the EL to get knocked out, and teams below us in the CL to lose. If the total number of teams doing either of those is at least 9, we're seeded. So, what's our chances of that.

    Champions League teams below us getting knocked down first.

    Certainties:
    Milsami Orhei v Skënderbeu Korçë (0-2)
    HJK v Astana (0-0)

    Pretty likely:
    Qarabag (1-0 down v Celtic)
    Mydtjylland (2-1 down v APOEL)
    Malmo (2-0 down v Red Bull Salzberg)

    Reasonable chance:
    Partizan (1-1 v Steaua)
    Molde (1-1 v Dynamo Zagreb)
    Videoton (1-1 v BATE)
    Rapid Wien (2-2 v Ajax)

    Europa League teams above us getting knocked out.

    Almost certain:
    Sampdoria (0-4 v Vojvodina)

    Reasonable chance:
    Zurich (0-1 v Dinamo Minsk)
    Vitoria de Guimaraes (1-2 v Reindorf Altach)
    Trabzonspor (0-1 v Rabotnicki)

    ???
    Legia Warsaw (Abandoned)

    Unlikely/no hope:
    Borussia Dortmund
    Rubin Kazan
    Athletic Bilbao
    AZ
    Standard Liege
    Bordeaux
    Slovan Liberic
    St Etienne
    Copenhagen
    PAOK


    *to make matters even more complicated, we have exactly the same coefficient as West Ham. What happens if they get through and we are the 22nd and 23rd highest coefficients? Presumably a draw to decide who is seeded...or they could go by disciplinary record.


    **remember, full credit should be given for working even if the final solution is wrong. :)

    I sort of get concerned about the Saints crowd's opinion of Sadio Mane. I know he does himself no favours.

    Plays brilliantly - :emoticon-0148-yes:
    Makes dangerous situations happen in attack -

    Gets plenty of assists - :1980_boogie_down:
    Scores timely goals, and the fastest hat-trick in PL history -

    Runs away to the opposition fans and wonders why it's all gone quiet -
