That is absolutely sweet. Taking it further, why not quarters? Just like the commemorative shirt worn in the last game at the dell.

Highly irritating. But to play so well int the first half. We were the professionals, Everton needed the help. When we win at Goodison there will be wild celebrations, they are now on ice.

Like them a lot, nice nods to our history and without the usual over complication UA seem to indulge in. The sponsor logo doesn't look too bad on the home shirt, it's still atrocious but at least is not absolutely dominating. Using gold on the away sponsor/UA logos looks a little cheap, but it seems like a bit of an effort to fade them out so not to ruin the classic look of the traditional kit.

Oh. My. F*cking. Days. KWP man of the match for me. But that could fall for Stephens, Ingsy, McCarthy, Jan...... Not known us defend like that since Elland Road in 2011, and not known organisation in our team like that for an eternity. Ché showed his intelligence and class with that goal, clearly set up by Ralph understanding how Citeh operate, just so shrewd. So unlike us! An absolute treat, in front of the nation. We are Southampton.......... We've finally won at home.

I worry for Obafemi's professionalism. Clearly able and at times looks very sharp, others he doesn't seem at the races. Couple this with public calls from Ralph for him to increase his workload.... Concerning, however Ralph keeps sticking by him and he does keep getting opportunities. He is also so very young. There has been nothing of that sort with Ché, just a lot of frustration that he hasn't yet hit full, or in terms of goalscoring, any stride. I am inclined to pick Ché given the choice.... But there is clear potential in them both.

It was my understanding with James Maddison that we had agreed terms for him, had offered a contract and he was considering us. Leicester however, recent Premier League Champions and a move closer to his Coventry home made the decision a no-brainer for him.

I hold Bournemouth no ill will...... But the myth that they havn't spent much is a little daft. They have wasted a lot of money on players that have not improved them (like us over the last few years) and are now paying for it. The wages they paid on their rise up the leagues was also a massive gamble.

Up: Leeds, West Brom and Forest. Down: Wet Sham, Villa and Brighton.

Of all the talismanesque players we have, he is the most likely to stay of any. Burned at a bigger power, now established as a hero at his boyhood club with international recognition beckoning. The money it would take to prise him away..... With his injury history. Would it be desirable? - For either party? That said, watch Man Utd bid 50mil and Ingsy loving the pay rise.

Was going to post. You've saved me the bother. Cheers.

Time to zone out. Dodge the nausea. Despise them.

To McDonalds?

The answer is therefore clear given our resources and how it will never simply be a case of buying players of certain class. Play to our strengths.... And without a home crowd on our player's backs we may be more likely to do that.

Tried it, but that takes it to an annual, rather then monthly, payment. £36 for a one off payment for a year isn't bad. But broken down to £2.99 a month I'll hardly notice it.

Where is this deal? At that price i'm happy to have it.

I'm calling it:

I somehow doubt we are the only club in a position like this, but our ownership situation can only exasperate things further. The game is never going to be the same again.

Watching so many kids act as though they were drunk on that stuff was hillarious. Just so pleased we had the opportunity to go.

Really busy, but significantly better then the current home shirt.

The firm who did the Villa kit a year or two ago is also worth mention. They seemed to do an excellent job.

Oh fingers crossed.

Fonte's words sound to me like those of someone who regrets leaving and wishes to ensure a good impression of himself. The truth will naturally be between Reed's/Fonte's words.

Depends who you hit, surely.

Weirdly, just had this advertised to me on social media. Someone is taking 10 pound Umbro off the peg team shirts, stitching on a retro Saints badge and then bumping up the price to £35. https://www.sloganite.com/collections/southampton-football-merchandise/products/southampton-retro-football-shirt

Exactly. Since 2011 we have proven time and again that simple, classic and decent design just isn't us.
