Exactly this. Lallana cared about this club and helped raise the standards on the training ground. His family are nearer Southampton and his son plays for their Academy I believe. Was probably always going to end his days there.

We really should be beating teams like Southampton.

Yes, it's very prevalent among BHAFC to hate personnel that leave the club. I, on the other hand, recognise that churn is built into the model and am usually grateful for the contributions while at the club of the likes of those that have listed AND the fact that they've made us tens of millions of pahnds through their leaving. So, I don't tend to boo them on here, but it's worth a bit of pantomine in the stadium.
I'm sure you'd have been LOVING IT for the 4-1 spanking we gave Chelsea and the rancorous atmosphere at The Amex if you'd been there.

So, so excited
To be fair, you'd struggle to find a manager who isn't a bit prickly when their team is bottom of the league.

I'm really looking forward to this one. The prospect of going second is really a special one and how can you not get excited by that.
Obvious the caveat is we have blown this opportunities before, but I get the feeling there is a different mindset with this squad and Fab is pushing this team week in week out, learning lessons and gaining confidence with each game.
I do expect Southampton to cause us trouble, they gave Liverpool a good game so they can clearly play. The Saints do however have a habit of making mistakes at the back, and even if they do score I think we can outscore them.

We need to maintain our push for promotion. A play-off place for now is fine but we should aim for an automatic place to the promised land

Looks quite a decent team until you realise what massive upgrades JP, Rutter and Bart are.

Most probably will talk about other clubs not playing well v the Albion, hence why we won.Do you think they will say well run club? Personally have my doubts

They gave Liverpool quite a scare last time out. Shouldn't be underestimated.
Having said that, I'd love to see us hand down a sound thrashing today. But I'd settle for 3 points either way.

On Lallana being a snake; total nonsense. As I remember it there was talk that he'd fallen out with Roberto. So, I can only assume the OP was either trolling, is a RDZ mega fan, or is actually RDZ.
I fully expect to see Lallana coaching in the near future. He seems like a real leader.

Let's hope the second half is better. March's hat trick aside, we've been woeful.

Right, I'm off to bed.
Please surprise me Brighton and win so I wake up to us SECOND in the premier league.

Even if we beat them comfortably with more mesmerising team goals or edge it 5-4 in a seesaw thriller, I bet Match Of The Day tomorrow will still have us on last. #UnderTheRadar #OrJustPlayingOnFridayNight

What time is everyone setting off for The Dell tomorrow? I’ve got a feeling about this one, comfortably through to the next round lads, no excuses.
3-0 - March hat-trick and Mitoma with the other.
