Didn't he sign early & go on loan to Goztepe in the end? Juan?

I quote ABK "he wanted to stick with the promotion guys" ... so rather than knuckle down, train hard and force his way back in to the side, he spouts off to the press instead.

Nah, ABK can't just expect to walk straight back into a promoted side after wanting out the year before. The fact he hasn't knuckled down and force his way back in is down to him.

Doubt it, he's going back to Chelsea.

But But But, Ankersen isn't involved at Saints. That's what we keep being told isn't it? Fucking wankstain on the club he is. Utter clown.

No; that's a myth (seems to have become fact) made up by fans to beat Ralph with. After Rohl left, we still had the covid period and topping the PL to come. We were streaky, but we certainly didn't get worse as soon as he left.

The club are probably wanking each other off about those ticket prices, and what a good decsion it's been. Fuck whose actually sat in them seats, and who they support. Probably partly explains why Swansea prices are higher as well. They get away with it..

I wouldn't trust SR with the £1 coin I found today, let alone any additional millions they might want to spend.

Yay, more corporate guff to go alongside such highlights as the new cocktail bar, the new pub, fan zones and improved hospitality. Most football fans couldn't give a shit about all this, and just want to see the club performing on the pitch.

2026 with an option of a further year, assume we take up that option (why wouldn't we?), its technically a 2027 contract end.

Not sure what people are expecting to be honest; it's obvious he's not going anywhere.

There's a difference between criticising Jack Stephens for his stupid hair pull, which is valid, and messaging him abuse, telling him hes a cunt, get out of our club etc, that's where it draws the line. On Martin, let's be honest, he's not going anywhere is he?

McCarthy, Stephens, Bednarek, Smallbone are all still kicking around from that early Ralph era.

An attention seeker.

We won the possession stats though, Martin will be proud and we'll continue as we are. Well done RM, keep it going

His original was a hamstring i think, but no idea on the latest few.

Anyone remember this guy? Last played for us over 2 years ago. Picked up another injury and won't be back till sometime next year.

Out till the new year injured.

Don't forget the time when Kraft publically said there wasn't much talent in the academy and they were having to supplement that with players from other clubs ... sure that was a real kick in the teeth to those lads in the academy as well.

SR slashed the academy wage budget and created a new structure; its' supposedly one of the reasons we lost Alejandro Gomes in the summer, as he was being offered far less than what those in the scholarship year above were. SR can go get to fuck; we've lost Doyle, JJM, Dibling (initially) and Gomes on their watch. Ballard I suspect will go the same way, as his development hasn't been managed particularly well either (i know he's had injuries which haven't helped).

It's the last thing the opposition will expect, doing the same failed thing over and over again

Not quite. I do belive there's a club option for a further year, so effectively he's got a 2027 expiry.

So many questions; Why Fraser? Why Tall Paul randomly? Why no CB on the bench? Why not play a natural LB at LB? Where is Taylor? Cornet? EDWARDS? Wood? Summer window showing more and more as a shite window. If you have to move KWP back to RB, why not play Manning (on the bench) at LB?

Fraser vs Salah. Mmmmmmm ...

In which they'll only tonk us by four ...
