  1. I think the 90 in 90 on the official site is gonna need an extension
  2. still hunting for a stream....anyone help?
  3. I agree. Stephens had his arm up above his head and the ref was entitled to say it was in an unnatural position and thereby stopped the header becoming a danger. Gutted but a point’s a point.
  4. I think you are underestimating the fact that we have a Chinese owner, and it is perhaps reasonable that he wants to show off his new acquisition to his Countryfolk. If you look at the Charlie Austin "behind the scenes" video you will see Mr Gao hugging and bantering with a couple of the players like a besotted fan. Whatever we think of the takeover, it has happened, so for me if this trip helps to solidify his interest and investment in Saints as a football team, rather than a simple investment project, I will be happy.
  5. At the end of the day, you must be over the moon to point this out.
  6. Fair comment, but how do we get him to go if he refuses to leave? Tommy Forecast?
  7. Evidently this is a Paul Mitchell spot. "It's no secret that they've been following me for a long time. They have followed since I scored my first hat trick for Sarpsborg in 2012. In the Adeccoliga. Then I was 17 years old. They know me almost better than I know myself. - I told them (the club's scouts) that it was a little creepy. You've "stalked" me for six years now, joked the 23-year-old.
  8. Oh that's great. A guaranteed broken metatarsal on the Kosovo foot then.
  9. Karma about to hit Daniel Levy? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/31/real-madrid-mauricio-pochettino-tottenham

    Vicenza

    Sadly it looks as if the sorpressa, wine and mooching will have to be around a different architect's villa. If this translation is correct then Mr Gao did not lodge his bid for Vicenza by the deadline of 11.30 today. Just the Diesel clothing owner "Update of 13:40. Confirmation arrives, the reality linked to Renzo Rosso is the only one to have presented the offer for Vicenza Calcio." http://www.biancorossi.net/2018/05/28/ore-12-scaduto-il-termine-per-la-presentazione-delle-buste-51555/

    Well Vicenza drew their second leg relegation playoff game to win the tie on aggregate. That means they stay in Serie C next season and if mr GAO wants to buy the club he will have to fork out an extra half a million.

    Vicenza

    Haha nice bit of football trivia! The history goes back hundreds of years to when the city was starving and the population had to eat their cats. But it is indeed the nickname used by Vicenza Calcio fans. In fact my good frien has a cat and a knife and fork tattooed on his arm. Vicenza is a great city to visit, halfway between Verona and Venice, so if this comes off we can look forward to a great pre season friendly each year.

    I have a friend who is a Vicenza Ultra and he says that the other main potential bidder is the Rosso family who own the Diesel clothing brand. It may be an interesting opportunity to see what financial clout Mr Gao has got . If it come off some people may like to know a bit more about our new partners. I have watched them a few times as I go on holiday to Vicenza a couple of times a year. There are various similarities between where we were when Marcus bought the club and where Vicenza are now. A sleeping giant is probably too generous to them but they were a long established Serie B team who dabbled with the top flight occasionally. Guidolin managed them at one time. They get around 12,000 at most home games and the fans have a the same fatalistic attitude as many Saints fans. Last season a fan from a visiting club was badly beaten by police after a game and the Vicenza Ultras arranged for his wife to stay in an apartment near the hospital and generally helped the family until he was discharged. The stadium is run down, reminds me of the Dell, but at least the club own if which is quite rare in Italy where often the local council owns the stadium.

    Vicenza

    A report here that GAO and Lander Holdings are going to buy Vicenza Calcio. Vicenza has had a fall from grace in the last few years, they slipped form Serie B straight through Serie C and are in a play off game to prevent relegation to the 4th tier for the first time in their history. They have a delapidated but large stadium and a passionate fan base. The6 also play in red and white. http://www.biancorossi.net/2018/05/25/una-societa-legata-al-southampton-lalternativa-a-rosso-51439/
  15. I would be happy with Hughes. In his interview after the City game, when asked if he would sign I believe he said "ask me on Wednesday". It is now Thursday evening, Hughes goes on holiday at the weekend, when do we start worrying that we are messing him about and he will, or has, rejected us? There seems to be an assumption amongst many supporters that he will come here if Saints snap their fingers but he has to consider his family, and his assistants, who all presumably live up in the North West. He knows will get a job somewhere, his stock will be high after saving us, so I hope we are not trying to screw him with a lousy deal.
