Interesting to see what Swansea fans had to say just over a year ago: "Martin is broken, players broken and fans broken." "He may have the support of the owners but with very little support from the fanbase it's creating a toxic atmosphere & it'll only get worse. I'll be renewing my season ticket but in the hope of seeing a different manager in charge next season. This shambles has to end."

Russell doesn't do defence. His teams always ship loads of goals.

Alex McCarthy is a fine example to them all. No matter how useless you are, Southampton Football Club will take care of you and pay you much more than any other club would. If Carlos Kaiser were starting out today, this would have been the ideal club for him.

Ross Stewart was bought very much for the Championship. He'll be 28 this summer and he's spent most of his career in lower leagues in Scotland and League One so it's unlikely he'll be good enough to score goals in the Premier League. If we do get promoted, we're going to need new strikers and, of course, goalkeepers, or we'll be coming straight back down again. Ross Stewart - Player profile 23/24 | Transfermarkt

You do talk some rubbish. You've already made it clear in more than a thousand posts that you don't like the idea of us having a proper home end again. It's getting tedious now.

In the 60s and early 70s, our home end was unequivocally the Milton. Unfortunately, neither end had a roof over it, so the acoustics were not great. At most other grounds, the home end was the covered end and the uncovered end was the away end. In those days we dreamed of having a big covered end such as we now have in the Northam. That was the reason for the initial move of some of our singers under the West Stand, which because it had a roof, had much better acoustics. So, by the late 70s, there were some singers left in the Milton and another group under the West Stand. But, as you can see from the pictures of the Channon Testimonial, in 1976 the Milton was still very much our home end.

He'll have his Europa League medal to collect long before that.

Some people just need their imaginary problems so they have something to moan about. Imagine the whingefest the nimbies must have had when we moved from the Dell to St Mary's and everyone had to change their seats and their routes to the ground. How did we ever manage to get through that?

They are.

Have you ever walked to and from the station? Home and away fans mingle all the way. The new setup will be easier to police.

It's only a few nimbies. The improvement in home support this new setup will bring is bound to upset them. They won't be able to whinge about how poor the home atmosphere is any more. One of them has posted about a thousand times on here because he wants to gawk at the away fans but doesn't want any vocal Saints fans near him. Maybe he can get a special needs seat in the away section as he loves the away fans and hates Saints fans so much.

Even though we've got the 3 worst goalkeepers in the Championship, we keep hoping that one of the other two isn't quite as bad as the one currently playing but it's probably just wishful thinking.

The move from the Dell to St Mary's meant that everyone changed seats. We got over it, no problem. So have other clubs' fans, more recently, like Spurs. Plenty of clubs have moved their away section to a different part of the stadium, too, like Leeds. They're happy now that they did. If we get promoted, the demand for seats and standing places at St Mary's will be greater than ever. Even if we don't get promoted, there will be no problem filling the stadium next season, in spite of some fans having to move. Let's support the Club on this. This new setup is the one we should have had in the first place.

Most of the players look unfit, even by Championship standards, which is why we struggle to survive the last 20 minutes of games.

Because it was deflected off Adams' arm and the officials have to pretend that didn't happen or the goal should have been disallowed for handball.
