can't see any of those three, although perhaps we can best hope that Watford just had a good day yesterday. Personally think we need Ralph gone and sell JWP to reinvest the money in the squad with a decent keeper and CB (and midfielder..)

we should try that with Redmond's head

Seriously, is there something contractual with Walcott? Must play when fit or costs us more if he doesn’t play a certain amount of games? That kind of thing?

We need to sell JWP to fund a high quality centre back, keeper and pay off Walcott’s contract to just let him coach or something

at flippin last

Ralph brilliant at picking shit players

Are we shit again yet?

ffs

Not sure how Walcott gets in ahead of Stuart Armstrong in any universe

Can Chelsea get 9 please

It would be good if our manager rewarded the win with a settled team selection but fear he will tinker to show what a tactical genius he is. Suspect they will be hard to break down and 1-1 or 0-0 not a disaster, but obvs will be hoping for a win aided by me avoiding the score again (worked last week) (ish)

Has that figure been quoted? If so I'd bite their arm off for it. Just like they do apparently.

Well done Saints. Will watch Match of the Day for once. Hooray.

Watching Watford and slightly cheered that there is a team worse than us.

I think I'd have Armstrong instead of Redmond and Tella instead of Djenepo. Would hope there's space for Stuart Armstrong too somewhere as he's the key

Ball retention is an issue in that side. And goalscoring.

True, but if we lose the fans' morale will plummet. Win and everything looks rosier. Obvious, but it's a big swing. Would be less so if we had, say, 3 more points under our belts already. I think it will be a draw

once again explains why we haven't sacked Ralph. Can't afford to.

Southampton will ‘soon’ announce a number of newly signed contracts at the club, with the hope being that goalkeeper Alex McCarthy will be one of them #saintsfc [hampshire live] oh god oh god

Mario Lemina in the Athletic interview, with no hint of irony: “When I first came to Southampton, I could say I came from Juventus and I could be arrogant about it,” he says. “But I worked my ass off every day to try and be the best Mario Lemina. I have never been arrogant

1-1

Finally, action on the goalkeeper front.

Because he's not very good, and Livramento is already twice the player Redmond is

This. Newcastle will be fine now. They just will. If only we could get such investment (on the face of it)

Didn’t know where to post this but it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen for ages. Tino Livramento on Nathan Redmond: “After the Newcastle game, he came up to me & said: 'I want to help different parts of your game, you're going to be a good player & I really want to help you with this.' He has been helping me a lot with improving my game.” #saintsfc [standard]
