Season tickets now on sale: https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/2026-27-mens-season-tickets - As with many clubs and businesses, we continue to face rapidly rising operating costs across a number of areas. In the year ahead, increases in the National Minimum Wage, supplier pricing, energy costs, policing and the ongoing maintenance required at St Mary’s are expected to add around £1m to the club’s cost base, with further uncertainty expected. We have worked hard to absorb these increases as much as possible to protect supporters and will continue to do so wherever we can. However, to ensure we can maintain standards across the club and continue investing in the team and supporter experience, a modest increase in Season Ticket prices is unfortunately unavoidable this year. Renewal prices will increase on average by £1.23 per game for adults and 81p per game for Under 18s. Even with this adjustment, Season Tickets continue to offer strong value, with adult prices starting from £478, working out at just over £20 per match, while Under 14 prices start from £75 and Parent & Child packages from £624, or just over £27 per match. We remain committed to taking a measured and responsible approach to pricing. In recent seasons, we have taken steps to support supporters wherever possible with price freezes and reductions in three of the last four years.

Last night Messi (38, 39 next Wednesday) also took the record of oldest hat-trick scorer at a World Cup off of Cristiano Ronaldo (33 when he did it)

Tunisia manager Sabri Lamouchi sacked after losing 5-1 to Sweden in the opening group game. Apparently had a big row with the players and then a fight at the team hotel when they arrived back from the game

Yeah, he was one of the starting CBs for Monaco right the way up to January, when he did his ACL

Cyle Larin now replaces Mohammed Salisu (Ghana, 2022) as the most recent Saints player to score at a World Cup 🇨🇦

Yeah, I just saw the teaser video from the club because I have notifications on

Basically the only good thing that came of Mad Nate's mini-era. Probably the only signing he actually chose, as well...

We also could've triggered his option sooner if we wanted to be loyal with him, even if we were a PL club and didn't really have much use for him in 2026/27. We were hedging our bets and our safety net fell through Good post, it is what it is and it's fine for things to not be right for either party to sign something

Official: Signed a new deal that keeps him at the club until 2029

What would Plymouth be looking for in return for Laurent Tolaj? 24 years old, 6ft, can hold the ball up and run in behind, got 21 goals in L1 last season. Feels like the sort of profile worth looking at

True, but he has none of those things if he isn't on the pitch. Availability is the best ability, or whatever it is they say. I would've been pretty nervous about trying to get through a 46-game season with just Ross and Larin. Soon as Ross went down (which he would've at some point) Larin would've been getting absolutely flogged

That's a shame, but I am not too gutted Ross has gone. He's a good Champ striker on his day but there's just too many ?s with him. I wouldn't want to be trying to get through an entire 46-game season with him and Larin praying for no injuries...

We also got the sell-on clause in there, which means that eventually what we sold for will be approx £50m

Back in football as the new Auxerre boss, finished 15th in Ligue 1 last season

SSN's correspondent for Newcastle is backing it up

Would seem odd to play a German third division side a week or so before the season, that's typically when we - and other similar clubs - ramp up and test ourselves against top division sides from abroad

Transfer window isn't open and Newcastle contract doesn't expire until June 30, so presumably nothing with Wolves is anything more than a pre-agreement until July 1, when he would actually be under a binding contract
