I am sure there are thousands upon thousands at these games, given the demand for parity in pay with Premier League players.

LoL at Sheff United. What on earth Selles does at interviews must be the stuff of legends. He has not business in that job

absolutely woeful attendances, with JCLs up for the big games on special days at a very small number of high profile clubs.

Oh, he does

What else?

Will Still prezzer...... We have a good squad we have now, it is big A good injection of quality and good people as we could not have anyone just walking through the door lots of competition for places at a big club This will help us be hyper-competitive We will be demanding, this is a big club and we must use the full strength to win as many games as we can I did not want another striker. Damion is adapting, and we have proven good players for this league with him There are a lot of good players that with the quality we brought in will turn the xG into goals The club are not putting pressure on Damion, it is difficult to adapt. Just because we bought in this quality does not mean we will roll over most teams, we have to work, and work hard There has been a big turnover in personnel, which was needed We must put a shift in to make this work, and all know this. We must give Damion, Casper and Leo time to adapt Only Wellington inured, Damion still not back, should be tomorrow Everyone else has been here or drip fed back into training Their manager has done an incredibly good job. He is an interesting manager They are hyper-efficient, structured and organised. They will be aggressive, but they are a good team With the help of the club and the people around. The players understand what this games means Ex players have been here to paint the picture. The new comers know what this game means Let's be honest, this game means more to the city and supporters. But we have to win We have got to stop conceding these poor, rubbish goals, but this game the players are fully aware It is vital that the players remain focused, no use getting sent off, and they know that We have to play as we want to play. We want this game, this is what is all about. We are favourites for this, that is part of being at Southampton in this league being at a big club and dealing with it. Then cuts for the usual ridiculous watershed

Forensic detail by the adults in the room

Nope. Forgot to add the word Cunts to my original post - that's how it works, right? Ta

Same thought process for George Floyd I guess.

Far left are dangerous people

100% agree. Bellingham clearly thinks he carry’s the team and we should all be grateful.

You have to admire Stamer’s public commitment to those who are obviously going to resign remember, this lot are the grown ups in the room.

I bet their lot are watching ID on repeat, whilst whacking off in a blue and white sock

England (again) have a chance to do well, if the media and manager lose the mindset that certain players HAVE to start, regardless. Does Saka HAVE to start ahead of an in-form Madueke? Does Bellingham HAVE to start? Does Stones, when fit, HAVE to start?

The club brought it up recently didn't they? Something looking into etc? No use if we are not in the premier league, or sat bottom of it. So I assume this is well and truly parked right now.

when was there in recent times, really? Been plain to see for decades.

Seen that before, makes me chuckle. Daft, but brilliant.

If we largely stick with 3 at the back 6th-9th If we shut up shop (433/4231) more and bully sides 1st

if tonight is a peek at what sort of football we will try an play, I have to say it is better and more like 'English football'

Fair point Yes, Anderson looks brilliant

Madueke looks a threat, Anderson is good. Kane, obviously an elite finisher, but fucking hell, he is so slow and offers almost nothing in the build up

Agree with that. he could have played here and been a standout, opposed to just training. He will probably get the Cup games, and will get a look in if Pope is injured, but a shame for him. I get it that his massive wages are off the books, etc

That Lambert goal, I was right down at the Northam/Itchen corner was fucking carnage when it went in. We were just better for an hour, just ran out of gas and the quality players took over.

We should have not scienza, fellows and Azaz, and funnelled the money to the saints women’s team to fill the gap
