Football Special

Everyone I go with is resigned to relegation, there's no goals in this team, could be record low points , such a shame we couldn't stay in the championship

At least we should be able to put out a strong side at Everton on Tuesday night Turkish window closes tomorrow? Surely Onuacho goes by then

Think you're probably right unfortunately, unless Ross Stewart comes in so fired up with a point to prove and scores a screamer and we somehow battle out for a 1-0 win, Russ turns into Ralph sobbing on the touchline at the end.

Were there many left?

I've seen quite a few people sharing on social media and echo also featuring it so you've all done a good job of raising awareness, good work chaps https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/24573296.southampton-fc-pay-tribute-young-referee-elijah-khaira/?ref=rss

Will be sad to see him go, hope they invite him back to play for Saints Legends v Russell Martin XI next month. End of an era.

You can buy tickets now directly from the club on the exchange assuming you have a booking history

Anyone back late from international duty might miss out, Sugawara had long trips, u19s have 3 matches so Dibling won't start , are Aribo and Tall Paul away with Nigeria? The latter could have used this as a last opportunity to impress Martin on the training pitch

You can buy them from Saints? Despite the game being sold out tickets keep becoming available on the exchange , can see quite a few on there now as people list when cannot go, not sure if link works https://exchange.southamptonfc.com/selection/event/date?productId=10228644234694

We must be due another grey kit 3-1 or a 6-3, come on Russ give us another day like these..

Was a decent game overall I thought, Bristol City started brighter and looked to have the edge in terms of quality. Saints looked good once settled, missing a bit of quality upfront so following mens team in that regard. Hard to know if we were missing any players etc, they announced it was the keepers debut so not sure if an understudy or going to be perm, looked assured no silly mistakes passing out from the back. Nice touch at the end players come over and chat to fans, went down well with the kids. Finished 1-1. Not a big crowd 1622 I think, they must be disappointed with that.

First game of the season tomorrow, home to Bristol City, I've been given some tickets so going to see a ladies game for the first time, sounds like a lot of new signings and a new manager so not sure what to expect, any particular names to look out for?

I don't think so. Tickets sold for half that price would be bought by Villa season ticket holders who would go to the game.

Still is a joke though, sad for Villa fans priced out, especially the youngsters, makes you wonder if its all worth it, I'd rather see my team in JPT and afford to go than Champions league and sit outside the ground. They've made a good point that other clubs like Liverpool manage to keep some prices down with the spread of prices low to high whereas Villa just gone for all top price.

Football is becoming a game for accountants isn't it, whole thing just descends into farce might as well just allow a spending free for all https://x.com/JamesOlley/status/1831344095014388201?t=emkWt4IV2V0TPy6bnGJfzQ&s=19

Yeah so a waste of a transfer fee ? My criticism is more for the people making these signings rather than the players themselves.

I know every transfer is a risk but when you look at our lack of goal threat and then consider the combined transfer fees and wages for Ross Stewart and Tall Paul who contribute absolutely nothing between them it's such a shame, waste of resources

Think we're down regardless but this has pissed me off, Leicester always seem to wriggle out of it.

I agree there are some good players there and we should be able to give several teams in this league a good game, but I still can't see where goals will come from so will still make us easy to beat. We need far too many chances per goal and won't get them.

Getting crazy with these numbers but can see demand dropping now we've had small allocations at Brentford and Bournemouth not such an incentive to up the numbers. Anyone keen to do an away game come to Everton in the Cup will be plenty to go around.

Saints would prefer the 2nd week with blank weekend following but I think we'll be first week (17th or 18th) Liverpool will need to be home week 2 as they play champions league in week 1 and they won't have Liverpool and Everton at home same week.

Will he be the one to be dropped for Cornet?

What's our record? Premier league record? Although doesn't really count when over different seasons with manager and players changes.

Leicester home March 2023 isn't it
