    Read on the BBC website that six leading League Oñe clubs wanted to "finish" the season. I interpreted that as they wanted the season to end as of now. So I read a little more beyond the headline and in this context, finish means complete.

    Sooo I'm gonna be a RB Leipzig fan from tomorrow, I don't care that they are the German MK Dons because our Ralph is associated with them and my first choice, Hamburg ( Seaport, The Beatles, King Kev + I went there with Saints in '84) are not in the Bundesliga.

    Sounds like they originally proposed for a home and away average to be applied, but ultimately it will be a basic average.

    I know the PL are a different organisation to the FL. But one would expect that whatever system is adopted by L2 would also then be adopted by L1 (if required), and then by the Championship (if required). And at that point, if becomes difficult for the PL to then adopt a different system (if required) - especially if relegation and promotion between the PL and Championship continues.

    As I'm sure most people know, under a home and away average, West Ham get relegated. Under a basic average, Bmouth get relegated. If relegation remains on the table, of course.

    The correct response should have been… Norwich have their Delia but Saints had their Melia!!!!

    Prior to Dortmund's goal, I hadn't really noticed the lack of crowd noise. The odd clap or shout from the bench was about it.

    But since the goal, the shouting from the bench has been constant. Getting very annoying.

    Callum Hudson-Odoi arrested for rape at the weekend.

    Really don't think the media should report these things at this stage.

    Agree, trial by media/social media starts immediately the arrest I is announced

    Exactly and he's not even been charged yet. Mud very much sticks with this sort of thing and in this era of social media.
