Give The Painted Wagon a try

Perfect, can I get a re re rewind back to the Premier League

Tempting, I actually think both games will be a draw

Agreed. I'll be there, get behind the team etc , need full positive support, but really not impressed with that side at all and tempted to do the old insurance bet on a Wrexham win with generous odds

It seems they are the players that we have received firm offers for and in negotiation phase

Thought he'd be a bit more upbeat and positive, sounded like I do at work on a Monday morning

Agree, zero enthusiasm, it's worn him down already

Thought Still sounded a bit down in that conference, don't know what his personal issues were yesterday but maybe he's a bit stressed. Great to hear Fernandes is in the squad, we seem a bit short in midfield

If they do this will be me

Definition of quality I guess is down to opinion, but factually Onuacho scored more goals in the Premier league than any of our other forwards, so what does it say about them? I'd say Sulemana and Bednarek moving to Atalanta and Porto shows they have qualities deemed attractive to clubs at a higher level than us and those clubs were prepared to pay reasonable transfer fees for them, as will Dibling and Fernandes. The lack of interest in the rest of our squad is a good indication of how poor most of them are, my point being I don't see how others are now predicting them to get automatic promotion

I'm still struggling to get onboard with the opinion that we have a strong squad even after losing our 'best' players. Remember we've already lost key first team players RAMSDALE, WALKER-PETERS (both contenders for player of the season) and our league top scorer ONUACHO. We have also cashed in on KAMALDEEN SULEMANA and BEDNAREK to champions league Atalanta & Porto , if we then lose Dibling and Fernandes that really is taking one of the worst top flight squads of all time, removing any quality that was in it, what remains hardly fills me with confidence.

He's done a great job at Wrexham really, three successive promotions , I remember hearing him talk before about his days at Saints as part of the youth set up , around the time Benali, Shearer, Le Tiss were there so he does have Saints connections

Unfortunately with the change of stadium configuration a "sell out" at St Mary’s is usually just under 31k Club released a few more tickets today in blocks 9 and 3 if anyone still after a ticket

I liked Paul Trollope, proper football man, clearly respects the club and wants us to make it as hostile as possible when we play the Skates so he gets the thumbs up from me

Feels so long ago I can hardly remember it, actually incredible how bad that is and considered most of our starting XI was at the club last year entirely possible that losing mentality is still ingrained, would be a real boost for the whole club to get a win again

I heard he missed going down to Mayflower park and watching the cruise ships come and go

When did we last win a competitive game of football? Can anyone remember what it feels like? Especially in front of a home St Mary’s crowd

Can't wait to see St Mary’s rocking to this again

Any news on if the Hollywood boys will be there in the directors box? We'll need to pull out our own A listers , Rishi Sunak? Is Pinder still a Saints fan after the Martin sacking?

It does sound like this is selling quite slowly, high prices and Sunday midday ko with no trains going into Central will be putting some off as well. They are changing criteria from tomorrow https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/portsmouth-h-ticket-update

Jeez Grandad we're going to keep going round in circles on this one aren't we

Genuinely did you go regularly in the last championship season? Baz was not fine then, if we persist with him it just highlights the complacency within the club

Can someone please ask if we'll continue with huge tifo banner over Northam wall before games and if the same goal celebration music will be played when we score?

Obviously could get some loans and free agents but as things stand they must be likely for a record low points tally? Tiny squad with players who aren't being paid , unless takeover happens soon Feel for their fans, stupidly high ticket prices as well
