Agree on ABK, probably on Ings but doubt anyone would be hugely shocked if he scores more than our strikers this season

That's a truly horrendous away day really, I can't see getting tickets for Pompey away being a problem if we're doing the same. Looks like travel price has been reduced. Surely they will all need to arrive in one go so coaches will be a convoy, Fratton to Lakeside then on to Winchester then all travel together from there? Could make it a two hour journey from Fratton then , if I was them I'd get the train to Winchester to limit time stuck on a bus

About 500 left, either side of away fans. I think the ticket office should use the police football intelligence database to ring around every Saints fan considered a risk and offer them half price seats next to the away section, need to up our game here.

There's not a chance on earth theyd pay 7M, and also we're not extending that contract. Nice to have him off the books

Feels like we always draw 1-1 at Vicarage Road, so probably correct prediction that

Nice to get a 3-0 away win,been a while since we had a result like that. McCarthy kept us in the game, or certainly felt like that at times, Norwich certainly had a lot of chances. Good finishing by Archer, definitely needs someone to create space for him, no point playing him or Armstrong as loan striker 3rd round draw tonight where we enter the fix stage of this competition, 8 European teams in Champions league or Europa league kept apart, pretty much ensuring all the big names get through which no doubt pleases the sponsors and tv companies assured of viewing figures and advertising revenue, farcical competition Hopefully we get Lincoln, Wycombe or Port Vale

I might have dream it, was it hinted Ankerson / data analysis had shown that was best approach?

Don't know much about their side

It's been mentioned before hasn't it? Under previous managers

The only explanation I think can be he has such little faith in his goalkeepers he has to sacrifice midfield to stick another defender in the way. Also once again can't see where the goals will come from

Imagine losing 1-0 away at Charlton BBD scored the winner then gives Nath a shoulder ride on their lap of honour at the final whistle I honestly wouldn't be surprised

I think you have summed that up well, also possible we're playing 5 at the back to provide more cover due to weakness in goalkeeper position

It's on sky+ so should be available, not sure how you find that on NowTV

Deluded. Answer is either a) don't let Ramsdale go on loan if we can't replace him with a decent loan in return or b) keep Ramsdale c) sell Ramsdale and replace him with a proper perm replacement

Sounds like you have a few anecdotes you could entertain us with Mr Codger 😉

He wasn't that bad......at BASKETBALL! never known a player love a handball as much as him

It will almost certainly be on the profit, that's fairly standard on sell on % deals

They wouldn't I agree. I meant keep and play Ramsdale under contract unless offered £20M, get money back on him and recruit proper replacement

Some golden posts on there, how teams must love it when Sports Republic come calling , I remember Torino fans rejoicing when we bought Lyanco for example "Thank you Southampton you beautiful clueless bastards!"

Don't loan out your first pick then, unless you have a good enough replacement available, which we clearly didn't

Think there's a few trolls who know that but are enjoying winding up Saints fans on this thread, he's one of them

He's fucking shit , you know it, I know it. Will Still knows it, unfortunately I think Baz knows it as well

Don't loan out Ramsdale then. He stays until someone puts a proper bid in for him.

If we can loan out a number one why couldn't we loan in a number one?

Think Ipswich might be ahead even with the Dibling deal, surely there's a website out there tracking such things ?
