I am now at the stage that I couldn’t care less. Moved to Southampton because I supported them, had a season ticket for many years but don’t get to go anymore. Living in the West Country, I’m now more of a Chief than a Saint. Better game, better fans, better atmosphere. Sad but football is no longer the game I grew up loving. It’s now just money and mercenaries, and a bit of racism too.

And what about all the other transfer news he has got right? He got this one right and you moan. Don’t let jealousy eat you up.

He has got a lot of things right prior to it being on sky or other sites. He is not a Saints specialist ITK, mentions a lot of clubs from across the leagues. If folk don’t believe him, it’s up to them, don’t see the need to slate him though. Just look away and dont read his tweets. It really is that simple.

He clearly doesn’t fit into the style of Ralph’s team plan which will be based on pace, pace and more pace. Something Charlie is sadly lacking. Scored some good goals and wish him well.

Not too bad really. No runs of really tough games where you think where is the next point coming from!

As thread title. No great surprises after the recent form particularly at home.

The best half of Saints football for several seasons. The pressing, the passion, the commitment, it’s all there to see. Let’s not forget that we are playing this his style of football based on a Hughes team level of fitness so it may drop towards the end. Just great to see a manager who seems to care as much as the fans. Whatever happens, things are looking brighter.

Always thought Andrei Pereplyotkin “Shevvy” could have achieved more if he had got a work permit while in the academy.

Our midfield is picking up their strikers and our forwards at dropping to pick up their midfield. At the back we have our three CB marking Giroud! No offensive ambition whatsoever.

Pretty uninspiring stuff. Hughes is a dinosaur.

Very poor second half. We are gonna be in trouble in a few months. Not convinced by Hughes still and anything he is trying to do. Poor substitutions, poor game management, poor manager in charge of average squad. Highlight was Hojberg, the player we’ve been waiting for him to become is now here.

If you bought a tatty old Datsun for over the odds, while someone is taking it for a test drive you don’t tell the world it’s rubbish!

I’m not convinced that he is any great loss really. I feel he has always flattered to deceive and not achieved what he could have. To get anything around £15 million for him is good business in my book.

I didn’t think that was too bad considering the enormity of the match. My main concern is Hoedt has got a mistake in him but backing Carillonto come on and grab a last minute goal to either win or equalise.

He had a Champions league winner medal before joining us!

Forget about the manager and tactics, etc. The simple problem is that we don’t take our chances. Since Lambert and Pellegrino we have had nobody who can find the back of the net. If we had a decent striker we would be top half!

In my younger and more immature days I used to ttake great pleasure in arguing with rugby friends about how rubbish rugby was. However, now I am a convert and love the game. Given a choice between watching England rugby match or an England football match, I’d pick rugby every time. Saints still just edge it over Exerter Chiefs though.

We must have got a new manager lined up, maybe Tuchel will be tempted with money to spend. Surely they can’t trust MP with the cash. They wouldn’t at the start of the season so they can’t let him have it now.

I've not watched a game live for a while due to work commitments but if this is an improvement I shudder at want went before. Admittedly only one team are trying to score through open play but even so, a little urgency and creativity would be nice.

Maybe the penny has dropped for him, the lure of playing in a Dutch national CB pairing every week, who knows?

I would always support a player Ina saints shirt unless they were a convicted criminal. Personally I couldn't cheer on McCormack at Plymouth, or historically Collymore, Deeney, etc. Most folk deserve a second chance but no third chance.

True ITK folk can't win. Posters cry out for a Guan or some other update. Tom28 appears with fruitful insights and folks start moaning. Personally, I appreciate what he shares with supporters.
