July 4, 2022 - Saints make Font Swap. Southampton FC are proud to annouce that their website will now be in times new roman font. Elsewhere, still no news about a new goalkeeper, after the departures of Forster, McCarthy, Cabellero, Lewis and Kelvin Davis refusing to go back onto the playing squad.

Surprised. I htought the news was going to be that he'd signed a pre contract with one of the top 6 clubs. 🙂

I think there was a second or two of it on the 04/05 Premier League Years video.

Contract or not, I hope he makes as speedy recovery from whatever the issue is.

I recall the following year's Rothmans cramming in the names of all his signings on every available space on the pages for us.

I knew someone would do that one 😊

Did I mention I was actually Pelé? 😊

I much prefer him over McCarthy. However, with the latter signed beyond this season, it would seem very likely that it will be McCarthy battling it out with a new 'keeper for next season. I'd prefer to strengthen elsewhere. So, I'd not mind Fraser not able to get as good a deal elsewhere, and signing an extension with us for next season. I think Ralph recedtnly prasied the tradtional aspects of Forster's game, indicating that he has someone else in mind. Guess I have to have some faith in the scouting.

Beaten by one of the best teams on the planet. While the scoreline could have been more at the end, we were in it for two thirds of the game. We did have some decent spells. Undone by not being clinical when we did get a sniff on goal, and some less than stellar defending, against a team looking and very able to capitalise on any error. I can see why Ralph went with Broja and Adams on the bench. But you want your best strikers to be on the end of your chances, while the team are still in it. In the spell where it was end to end, City were making as many errors as we were. Better outlets might have given us more. KWP, Stu and Romeu were my stand outs for us, pretty much as they always are.

Still time for a Smallbone hat trick. Just get him up there. 🙂

Hope he doesn't take it off for that 4th. He'll have to book himself.

Bah!

Something different from that corner. Gets a shot in.

I think Stephens mentioned to Dean what he thought of the decision. Couldn't have been that honest about Dean, as he'd have been sent off. 🙂

We were giving as good as we got in some end to end exchanges. It was soft, but that's what's given. Tghe 2 who were waiting to come on, have a goal to get just to stay in it.

well. Sod.

oooh, I was really hoping that was going to be a JWP belter. Good work form Long with his run and pass back across.

Stu did well against Sterling a minute back.

whew. A couple of nearlies from them.

We did enough in the last 10-15mins there, to earn a bit of fortune with the equaliser. Good stuff from Stu and Mo.

YAAAAAAAAAAAS!
