The last league match at the Dell vs Arsenal. It wasn't the best match, Saints were fairly fortunate to be drawing and then boom, Matt Le Tiss. That is the one game that stands out for me - amazing, never heard anything like that when it went in.

Yes ... their signings were so much better than Saints' ... we missed out on some gems, like Shawcross.

Very depressing if that is the case and of course you're 100% right, football is irrelevant, let alone "finishing" a season.

Best wishes pal, I hope she pulls through!

I don't care who orchestrated this, but bloody well done Saints - you make me proud to be a Southampton boy, despite the Premier League being sh*t. Well done indeed.

Absolutely. I won't give the premier league another £.

Because there are >20 types of influenza virus every year, all slightly different and mutated. The flu vaccine covers the most "popular" 3-6 influenza viruses that the health professionals think we'll be subjected to that winter. The last 2 years I've had exactly the same vaccine as this hasn't changed, but the year before was different. I've got completely f**ked lungs and have the jab every year - as soon as a coronavirus vaccine becomes available I'll jump on it. In fact I'd like to volunteer to trial it but don't know how. But anyway, that is why we still have 'flu', as there are so many strains of it. Also, bizarrely, many people opt not to get vaccinated and there are those that CAN'T be vaccinated as the vaccine is grown on egg cultures and people with egg allergies can't have it. Last autumn was the first time a different vaccine has been available to egg allergy sufferers.

That's the whole point you penis. This country does NOT have the cash to continue this spending long term, it is a "war time spending" pattern which we, as a country, will take a while to recover from. Long term we'd be bankrupt. It is not rocket science.

I've now unfollowed him, which is a shame

Exactly! Whilst many of us don't care right now, in a month or two time, when we're sick of re-runs of everything, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE will be crying out and welcoming behind closed doors, competitive football. It will help us stay in and help this pass by.

Charlie Austin in being a tw*t shocker.

This. Sick of videos of them dancing around in massive houses. Have some f**king respect, applies to the thicko footballers and the media - there are plenty of self employed who are struggling and plenty of supermarket and NHS staff who are working extra hard. Just makes these c*nts even less likeable if that were possible. I haven't missed football either, just shows I'm done with it and the stupid money these thickos earn.

It's really not rocket science is it? Generic influenza has a vaccine every year that anyone of us can take up. I have it every year as I have sh*t lungs and am in the 'at risk' group. Anyone that doesn't have the vaccine that should have it is a moron. This strain of Coronavirus has a) no vaccine yet and b) a ridiculous period where people can spread it around without showing symptoms. The NHS will be f**ked if everyone like me (and the elderly) get it. This is sudden and unprecedented, certain people need to wake up and realise that for the next 6 months, life is a little different. I'll happily volunteer to be a vaccine guinea pig, but until the point that is available, I'm hiding.

As "SOUTHAMPTON FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED" is owned mostly by "ST MARY'S FOOTBALL GROUP LIMITED", which is turn is owned mostly by "LANDER SPORTS (UK) INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT CO., LTD" and Lander has one sole owner (Gao) and just two Directors (Gao and Tim Greenweel - who?), then you're probably right as the directors of the first two companies wouldn't need to be informed if Lander was for sale. Why is it so stupidly convoluted though, all looks like a bloody fiddle - I'm sure there are tax efficiency reasons and so on ... but.

I honestly don't know why the club don't write a couple of these players off as losses now. I don't mean end their contracts, I mean let them go for 'free'. So there is no charge to buy the player, but the buying club will use the transfer money saved to supplement the player's loss in Saints wages. It's a win win surely? Saints get rid of these useless, idiotic signings that are harming the club, the players move on and the buying club gets a player more cheaply. Looking to make ANY sort of transfer fee for this lot (Carillo, Lemina, Ely-can't be bothered to spell him name, etc) is ludicrous. The latter admittedly is the player most likely to see some sort of small fee.

Why are there 2 matches today? I thought it was the "winter break"? Am I missing something?

Yes we do have the worst home record; https://www.soccerstats.com/homeaway.asp?league=england

Agree with all of this! This team need to be more clinical, full stop.

I can't take what ANY Spurs fan says seriously, they're mostly all complete bellends.

Yep - Son and Alli. C**ts.

It's quite obvious; the club need a quality right back and Bertrand has a gob and needs replacing. 1x centre back of obvious quality and the team will be fine.

Ralph still has the backing, we know that and it's justified - no other manager could get more from this bunch of c**ts. A few players are excused, i.e. Ings

But the black box has 5 players for every position that have been monitored for years to asses skill and temperament, right??

I bumped into an ex-manager of ours on the morning of a play off match, in the Grand Harbour, bloke stunk of booze.

Plus points; - Saints were by far the better team - I don't think we'll go down - Ings is quality as are most (more on that in the negatives) of the others - 2 winnable games coming up and Saints will never win 5 in a row (I'll take 2 wins, a loss and 2 wins) - It was Newcastle away, a proper bogey ground, hate it - When the team break, they do look dangerous Negatives; - Cedric is utter sh*t, must get rid and get a quality right back in Jan - Need a centre back as well - Should've scored 3 in the first half when on top to make sure Newcastle didn't come out rejuvenated as they did - Subs were weird - As much as I like Long, I'm not sure the team can carry someone up front with no end product - Coaching team still needs some help / overhaul - The goalkeeping ...
