  1. Nope, but he’s just popped up on my twitter feed claiming it’s fallen through. Be perfect if they announce the signing right about now.
  2. Full second half here: https://www.fullmatchesandshows.com/2019/03/09/southampton-vs-tottenham-hotspur-highlights-full-match-video/#2
  3. Well that was utter toss. Long and Mo off, Redmond and Gallagher on pls.
  4. I’m guessing this unknown Odion Ighalo must be a different player than the one that scored 15 goals in the Premier League the season Watford got promoted? Because for a while that Odion Ighalo was getting a fair bit of press.
  5. Don't get me wrong, fair play to Hughes for keeping us up, but he's yet to prove to me that this season he has a plan. Tonight's formation baffles me and when things don't go our way his changes are just odd. On Saturday we were crying out for someone else in midfield in the second half, maybe a bit of guile (Armstrong) to produce a better quality final ball, but instead we got Austin up top.
  6. If it’s a loan deal I don’t have an issue with this. His injury record makes it a huge risk otherwise. I will say that this deal does kinda put the myth of the black box out to pasture once and for all.

  8. The amount of times we’ve been carved open by one long ball down the middle is bloody frightening.
  9. Very poor performance overall. Lemina has looked a like a headless chicken so disagree with you there. We keep dithering about with it at the back when playing out and look very nervy as a result. Poor passing and a distinct lack of a game plan or shape. Austin pressing on his own and most of the players looking like they’re running in treacle. I know we’ve struggled for goals but I think the two up top leaves us outnumbered in midfield. All in all the signs aren’t good for the season ahead.
  10. Personally I think her father bought the club as something fun to do in his retirement with all the money he'd made. I do think given the free reign NC was given, that he was prepared to fund an attempt on making us more than just a mid table prem team. Would we ever have been top four/six? In all likelihood no, but it was great to have an owner that seemed willing to try and it was nothing if not exciting, something us Saints fans hadn't had much of over the last two or three decades. Markus' untimely death put paid to all that. Kat never asked for a football club as part of her inheritance and I'd imagine she's wanted rid ever since so that she can spend her money as she see's fit. I don't blame her for that and I don't think she's been maliciously asset stripping, I can't see that she would have wanted to tarnish her father's name like that. However I do think that she's probably been frustrated in finding a buyer that was willing to pay what she wants, hence who we've ended up with. So yes I do hold her partly to blame, but I don't think she set out to ruin us
  11. Rest assured that your post isn't the reason I won't be renewing my subscription on here, anyone who can be bothered can check how my post number has dwindled over the last year or so. That's down to a general dislike of the way modern football is going, the dire state of Saints style of football and the number of posters on here who act like ****s. I didn't feel you were being aggressive but excuse me if I don't like being told I'm not a fan by some bloke who knows nothing about me. As someone else pointed out while you haven't come out and said Hughes is guaranteed to keep us up, you've come pretty close to it. But while we're on the subject of our ill fated conversation, have a look back and see if you once see me say I'd take relegation over Hughes. Before I sign off I'll try to clarify my take on this. If Hughes is the best the club can get (and given the situation I find that highly likely) and they have an agreement that no matter what it's until the end of the season, after which we will review things, I don't have a problem. My issue is that I can't see why anyone, apart from someone in semi-retirement, would agree to this. So assuming that Hughes is offered a deal where he gets to stay if he keeps us up, I'd rather just plan for the future and get someone else at the end of the season. Wipe the slate clean and get decent foundations in place. Otherwise I can see us being in the same situation again within another couple of seasons.
  12. Hughes isn’t guaranteed to keep us up if you don’t understand that you’re a pillock. And fans like me will continue to support the club come relegation or not. I’d just rather the club didn’t tie us to a manager that I don’t believe is a good fit for the way we are supposed to play moving forwards. If he gets the job I’ll get behind him and wish him my best and if he keeps us up and has a successful Saints managerial career I’ll happily admit I was wrong. People like you are the reason I rarely post on here any more so you’ll be happy to note that I’ll **** off again and leave you and the proper fans to it.
  13. ‘So called fans’? All fans have different opinions, doesn’t make us any less fans. Of course I’d be gutted if we got relegated but there is football outside the Premier League.
  14. I’m saying that if Hughes takes the job it’ll be until be with the proviso that if he keeps us up he gets the job. Obviously I’d be over the moon that we’d survived but also feel that Hughes is a sticking plaster, that we would be unlikely to improve next season with him in charge and as a result would rather we planned for the future. Anything else is ****ing Groundhog Day and I for one am ****ing fed up with it.
