Saint Keef

Nice to win on a Friday.....at Wednesday. A word to the fans who travelled up there. Well done!!! You came through loud and clear and did us proud. Safe journey home all.

Yeh, KWP for me.....just, with JWP. We must do everything to keep KWP now that Tino is off. He looked like he's found his mojo again. I see there are 2 votes for Aribo 🤣.......presumably for nearly breaking into a trot.

Yes I agree. Some posts on that Liverpool site are refreshingly good, and (although I didn't read many) are largely in agreement with us. I think now, maybe they will walk away from it....I hope so. As I see it, if they cave in now and pay us what we have valued him at from the start, they will be seen to have lost a major battle of wills, which will be a green light to other clubs to treat them the same way. And in so doing their fans and their media will see it as having wasted a big chunk of pre-season fannying about over a few million. On the other hand, If they walk away now, I think it would look better for them in the "bigger picture" with them saying something to the effect of "We wanted the player but in our opinion he was over valued by Southampton and we weren't prepared to pay what they wanted". In other words, they weren't prepared to back down to our demands. In either scenario they will still be seen as having wasted valuable pre-season time by not getting it sorted quicker. This seems appropriate....

They will just have to walk away then. They won't be on their own though, because I've heard it said they never walk alone. We should send out a message that it's £55m now for anyone who is interested, just to piss the Scousers off.

Assuming Nathan Tella stays here, and I sincerely hope he does, can someone (cleverer than me) "doctor" the Burnley poster, and replace Nathan Tella's picture with this. "FREE NUTELLA. IT'S ALL WE CAN AFFORD" or words to that effect.

Lavia has looked absolute class, even with Mad Nate and Reuben Selles coaching him. Just imagine how frighteningly good he could become with some decent coaching and world class team mates around him. Regrettably, he's obviously going to leave us soon, but I sincerely hope we stick it out for "top dollar" with sell on clauses for him, and then watch him rise to the absolute top, to become a £100m + player - and good luck to him.

Ah, that'll be the same West Ham that just pulled Arsenal's pants down for £110m for Declan Rice. Yeah....Right! Assuming JWP is only half as good as Rice (which I would dispute), I make that £55m.

Damn! I never thought of that. A cunning plan for next time. Cheers for your advice.

I was in Liverpool recently. My first time there. I went into a pub and there was a pub quiz just starting. I wasn't that bothered but joined in anyway, just for something to do really. There were 40 questions in total. For a laugh, I answered all 40 questions alternately, with "The Beatles" and "Stevie Gerrard". Answer 1 - The Beatles Answer 2 - Stevie Gerrard Answer 3 - The Beatles Answer 4 - Stevie Gerrard...........and so on for all 40 questions.................. I came second!!!! BOOM BOOM.

Sorry, my mistake, I did mean Bayern Munich which would also have been a lot easier to spell.

Not Saints related but maybe of interest to some. I have it on pretty good authority (someone with some serious inside knowledge at Tottenham) that Harry Kane to Borussia Monchengladbach is as good as done. Daniel Levy apparently even willing to accept a lesser fee from the German side, to prevent him going to a Premiership rival club. Just passing on what I was told.

Where did it all go wrong for OR? From playing in the Adrenalin fueled cauldron and electric atmosphere of St. Mary's, to ending up at the dead beat wilderness of the Nou Camp..........Oh! Good luck to him. Great Saints servant, a proper player and by all accounts a good guy!!!

Halle fucking luja. Waited for Saints to be relegated and then probably said "My work here is done". An utter wank stain.

My sincere apologies. I honestly didn't realise this was traditional Mali attire. No offence intended and respect to Djenepo and his culture..

What on earth was Djenepo wearing in that video? Looks like he slept in a four-man tent, and then decided to wear it to work. Pull a cord and it becomes an emergency dinghy. Obviously been shopping in the Lewis Hamilton Catalogue of Ridiculous Attire. Don't let Davis or Calvert-Lewin at Everton see it. They'll want one.

Well. if West Ham do come calling for JWP, they apparently have over £100m sloshing around. Just like when we sold Van Dijk etc, other clubs know you have the money and the price for your target invariably goes up. (Phone call to Saints)...."Hello, West Ham here. We're interested in your Ward-Prowse chappy" (Reply) "Is that the same West Ham that just sold your Rice chappy for, let me see, one hundred and five million pounds?" (Reply) "Yes, that's right" (Reply) "Fine. Shall we start negotiating at £80m. That would still leave you a very tidy £25m in the bank"....... I jest of course, but please feel free to complete the conversation.

Lyanco is Marmite. Some people like him, some hate him and I guess we have to agree to disagree on this. My own feeling is, I think we should keep him. I think The Championship which has less finesse than the Prem, and is generally a more robust, direct league might be more to his liking. Players tend not to roll around feigning injury and conning the ref after every strong tackle. Having watched a fair bit of Championship football, there seems to be more "full blooded" tackles going in and I just have a hunch that it will suit Lyanco's game. Add to that, his obvious enthusiasm and attitude and I happen to think he will be an asset in this league. I may be wrong of course and there are no doubt those here that will tell me so. I'm not going to argue anyone else's considered opinion, but that's as I see it. Assuming he stays, time will no doubt tell who was right and who was wrong.

Thanks Viking. I went for a lay down after that.

There once was a team known as Leicester Backed by a wealthy investor You'd think "bullet dodgers" Wouldn't sack Brendan Rodgers And end up with the unknown Maresca. Meanwhile down on the South Coast There was a vacancy for the same post With three managers parting They chose Russell Martin Because I guess he was cheaper than most. So Mr Wankerson if you ever read this We're tired of you taking the piss You fucked up before And if you do it once more My arse you are welcome to kiss!

Yep. Got mine. The first question was "How old are you?" Apparently "Fuck Off" isn't a "valid number", so gave up.

Hope we keep him. Before he went out on loan I saw glimpses from him which suggested he would make it, but he seemed to lack confidence. I think sending him out on loan to Burnley has proved to be a brilliant move for all concerned. He certainly helped Burnley get promoted, proved to himself he can score goals regularly and as a result, we hopefully get the finished product back. When I see the name Nathan mentioned in relation to Saints I still have a nasty nervous twitch, but that's down to Nathan Jones. With a bit of luck, next season when we see or hear the name Nathan mentioned it with bring a warm glowing feeling and that will be down to Nathan Tella,

So, apparently the rumour is, we're getting one of the Manchester City Coaches...... 52 seats, Very comfortable. low mileage. Toilet on board. TV. Long MOT......Nice!

POSSESSIO........is 9/10ths of the word!

In a sad sort of way, I am kind of relieved we have already been relegated. Imagine the forlorn hope that we would all have had on here, that this bunch could get us a season saving result against Liverpool on the final day. We are where we are because we deserve to be, thanks mainly due to the appalling decisions made by the club. Maybe it's better that way than to have Van Dijk score a last minute winner to break our hearts and send us down.

Having just celebrated another Birthday (1st May) there will never be another Birthday present quite like the one I received from "the lads" that day in '76. I was in my teens and it still gives me a warm tingle (thankfully!) when I see that goal replayed and Peter Rodriguez lifting the Cup. No one can ever take that day away.
