We've got 10 and 11 aways...

http://billetsalg.fcm.dk/Stadium?eventId=311 "SOUTHAMPTON FANS: Tickets for the awayteam section can only by purchased through Southampton FC (Capacity: 600). Updated information will be posted here http://www.saintsfc.co.uk - Online Tickets cannot be purchased with foreign credit cards " With the situation in Arnhem and the limited ticket availability, I'm pretty sure Saints aren't going to be letting anyone buy in the home ends going forward and will convey that to all future Europa opponents (if there are any).

Heh, within my Saints-supporting life, I can confirm Lambert was a better signing. There is of course the question of context - I'm pretty sure almost all our signings between 1980 and 2006 would have looked good in League One. I've drawn the line at Burley's appointment for a reason.

FWIW I think we're still a CB (might be Caulker, might be someone we haven't signed yet) and a DM (might be Clasie, might be someone we haven't signed yet, might even be Reed) short of the level we were at last season. That doesn't change the fact that Schneiderlin and Alderweireld are massive gaps, and the teams we're putting out now are on a par with those conceding 2 a match at the end of last season, not the fixed defensive beast we put out for most of the season before the last month or so. We've clearly done very well with Stekelenburg and Cedric, and Martina is now starting to look up to the task too - they look, at worst, decent already. The other two haven't yet had any kind of chance to make a positive impact, but it's unrealistic to expect every signing to be a success and we can't afford too many transfer mistakes if we're replacing 1:1 and selling established players, which is the reality of our sustainable financial position.

Surely if someone wants CL football and they believe the club is lacking ambition in meeting that, their position isn't contradictory?

Lambert would be a great player for a Championship side at the moment, but he's too restricted in what he can do to be an asset any more anywhere they don't build the team around him. As for "best signing ever", he's up there, but Schneiderlin for £1m, 6 years of service, selling him for more than 20 times what we paid, his utterly stellar contribution to our record Prem points total and making his career, makes him a better signing for us just in the same timeframe. Outside that "post 2008 period" there's Keegan and a host of others I'm not qualified to talk about...

I like this one (not sure if you can embed FB videos any more). https://video-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hvideo-xpf1/v/t42.1790-2/11854199_10153015697711931_1529308219_n.mp4?efg=eyJybHIiOjEwMTEsInJsYSI6NTEyfQ%3D%3D&rl=1011&vabr=562&oh=322110e6d0bb33d18e44cdc08832e112&oe=55C9DF61

They had just under 17k and there is no way it was sold out.

The big red dragon shaped aardvark?

It's fine, they're practically all matches against other European competing teams which means we'll either lose them as we probably would have done anyway, or if we lose to Midtjylland we'll be fresher than them.

At least one of them was on our flight back, they were the last to get on the plane and the wife heard him tell his mate he'd been released that morning. Another bloke on the flight had clearly been in a discussion with a much bigger bloke's fist too from the look of his swollen face.

Just for the record, the keeper's gloves are almost certainly leaks for the next Adidas Ace boot colourways too.

So, just to confirm the validity of the designs above... Here's the physical leak of the actual German away for Euro 2016 as leaked in design form above.

Just for a millisecond I thought Rodney Parade might be on there too. If it ain't happening this season I'm pretty sure it ain't happening at all, cos they're never doing the grounds for the National League. On the bright side, we can all play as Saints at a proper Fratton and stuff them many times instead of having to pick one of the other ramshackle tinpot lower league pretend sheds.

Tbf, 3 of those group matches are also at home...

Thursday morning at 9am is general sale. I assume they thought all ST holders would wait to get theirs until after the members had piled into the site, but plenty of people have given reasons that wouldn't be the case.

It's not me!

Or you can be a taxi driver who drives the players around and didn't go to Vitesse and know you're getting one already.

Tangible b011ocks.

Ah, you've edited it then?

I'm on 53 pages of this thread, I'm not going back to find it.

Yup, apparently so. And yup, also explains the queue. Hadn't even noticed that!

That's because people are daft. Anyone buying now could also log on at any point before Thursday at 8am and buy the exact same tickets for the exact same price with much less of a wait. Everyone's ST seats are reserved til Thursday, there's no rush at all until they go on general.

Yikes. Could be a lot travelling without tickets again.

Actually you said we were practically certain to be seeded, which as we saw, was anything but the case. You're probably right about Pot 3 though.
