Worth £1 I can't justify any more on something that won't happen!

Just don't do it. They won't get the message until more people stop going. Sit back, sink a beer or two watching Sky Sports, then enjoy a nice Bordeaux in the evening, as I did yesterday. Much more pleasurable (unfortunately) than going to St Marys right now.

I can't stand any of them, massive bunch of w*nkers, putting in no effort, trained by w*nkers and owned by w*nkers.

I hope he got a good scumming!

Absolutely. Top flight football is sterile, for TV and the overseas fans. It is sh*t. I haven't been to a Saints match this season and I don't even find that sad. I love my city and I love my club, but I hate top flight football.

Football at the 'top' can do one. I wish more people would start abandoning top flight matches for lower leagues or non-leagues.

No, this team would be 0-0 most of the match, then allow Sunderland to regain composure in the second half, get it together and score. The difference then is that the team didn't allow teams (i.e. like Sunderland here) time to regain composure and get more of a grip on their mistakes.

Absolutely!

Jesus, I can't believe he died, he wasn't that old. The 'interest' in Saints was completely made up by certain board members, but FFS, cancer is sh*t.

Agree on the well done Southgate thing! I've gone from despising England and the morons who played for the team (definitely "club before country") to admiring this new England team and style and enjoying it more than Saints. Having said that, I didn't even realise England were playing Croatia the other night ... one might assume that due to no crowd, the media played it down.

You hideous bellend.

I know he is. Read what I wrote. The original post was about signing players over 30, we have those (i.e. Davis, Long), but what we don't have is a leader - Cahill was an example that fits in the Venn diagram for both brackets; a proper leader who is only 27 probably wouldn't be affordable for Saints.

So you would have said no to Jimmy Case, Alan Ball and various 'lesser' old pros like Venison and Beresford who helped keep the club up? There are loads of examples of older pros who Saints have signed to come in as leaders and help the younger players, it was the old "Southampton way" and the club should probably look to do that. The team is crying out for leadership. Again, someone like Cahill would be ideal. Who cares if he's after a last decent contract? The club can still build up other players to sell.

I don't think it's necessarily players over 30 the team needs, it's players with leadership experience; a Cahill for example would add a huge amount of skill and presence to the team and is someone the other players would look up to

He's not even a cracking left back any more ... he's been going through the motions for th past 2-3 years now.

I turned it off. Fed up with the Sky/BBC/general media love in. F**king tedious.

Impressive centre backs. Who wrote this? Some tool that's listened to Sky Sports News and played Championship Manager?

Who cares about these little w*nkers. Reference to the excellent Roy Keane, who speaks sense yet again; https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/11517299/roy-keane-blasts-manchester-united-cry-babies

The only thing consistent with him is that every season, Liverpool win his league. Liverpool's immediate opponents happen to be Chelsea at the moment, so they'll lose 5-0 away to Saints, ensuring his league, in his weird head, has Liverpool clear ...

Amended

I don't think Vestergaard is awful, I think he needs a MUCH better pairing.

We'll probably see Bednarek, Yoshida and Gabbiadini play in the cup ... and win.

Benitez (fallen out with Newcastle now) or Rodgers (getting more fed up at Celtic) will do.
