Ings is not leaving, he's a local lad that supports Saints, he hates the skates, he is grateful that we took a chance on him and he owes us for that and he is not greedy.

Martin's 'how to slash all debt costs' January masterclass Can't afford to clear your debt? You can't afford not to try to move it to 0% - save £1,000s Cards, mortgages, overdrafts, loans, store cards, BNPL and more

Couldn’t they tart a credit card, like Martin Lewis suggests on moneysavingexpert.com? they really should talk to him, he’d have a wank fest over that loan interest and I was under the impression we had a rich Chinese owner, so we’ll be fine.

I think he has a bit more about him because he is clearly more intelligent than the average footballer. So I guess that subconsciously makes us think that he would think about a move for career purposes rather than the money. But I don’t think there is evidence to support that. his dad is a lawyer, maybe even a QC in Portsmouth by the way and JWP used to go to FP occasionally, not an avid supporter but one all the same. im not sure what makes people like us believe that players have good intentions about playing football. We all go to work for a wage and of course it is much better if we enjoy the day to day existence in the workplace. But even if we did and let’s put it in our terms, say you work for an insurance firm in Southampton and your on 55K a year. Not bad. You are well thought of, everyone likes you there, Carol gives you a sneaky hand job every Friday and Jonno buys you lunch on a Wednesday. The firm is doing well and you can afford a decent mortgage and drive a nice M3. Then you get offered a job in a London, 90K a year plus other perks (Dianne is offering a blowie every Friday 😂) but you get to go around all of this firms offices in Europe every two or three weeks, Geneva, Munich, Paris, Madrid etc. You’d be staying in great hotels, flying business and you can drive an Aston Martin. What you going to do? Stay in Southampton ? Really?

Lucky Sir Les has gone, otherwise he could have been on the same radar that bought in Boufal, Forren, Lemina, Hoedt and of course Carrilo.

cause no one has really come in for him I guess, which may change now. Don't think he was doing us a favour.

Good article, didn’t know a lot of that. Okay, so if it was was an outpouring of genuine emotion over a culmination of these things (and to be fair, this article can only speculate on that), maybe Ralph should have said, instead of saying it wa the wind. That, to be fair, would be the strongest message in respect of mental health etc. But by trying to cover it up, arguably sends the wrong message.

I see Capello has questioned why Ralph was crying at the end. Said it was well over the top and I have to agree, a bit embarrassing. Unless there is a real reason behind it that we are not aware of, beating Liverpool FFS is hardly beating the Barca or Real. We beaten them plenty before and will beat them again. I know Ralph hasn’t taken any points off that twat but to show him that much respect, bit much and a bit cringy.

Are we in 1994 now ?😀

Thank you, YouTube I guess? Didn't look. Will have to mirror to the tv.

Anyone know where I can get a rerun of the 76 final to watch on tv with me lad? He ain’t seen it. Would like to watch the 2003 as well, have it on video but no VCR anymore. cheers

refresh and hit the X (same as refresh button)

that actually worked after three or four near misses

All subjective but Walcott's challenge, i mean, thats what i do not get with VAR, they can rule offside based on a toe, but like the WH player booting Che the other day, i mean, that was a penalty, all day long. They could not have looked at Walcott's challenge really but is it because the ref did not blow up? Does the referee need to blow for a foul and then they look at it and say 'you might want to look at your card choice?' like Bertrand v Leicester and Dnejpo in Newcastle? So, if the referee doesn't give anything, VAR does not intervene unless its offside or handball?

I agree, there seems to be no clear definition anymore and clearly no consistency. The rule makers are ruining the game, it was fine before. I think anything that is fact or not, such as goal line tech or offside VAR is fine by me, mistaken identity too and even in or out of the box (even that is difficult as was the Brighton one, but that is a rare occurrence), but fouls and handballs, leave it to the ref and his/her assistants please. I don't believe they make any more mistakes than VAR.

It is funny because it is probably a handball, Theo should have gone, Armstrong went down at the slightest touch, but don't they all (Mo Salah), thought the JWP foul was outside the box anyway, the one by the line was not a pen. But surely all we have to do is post the challenge on Ings last season at their's, not given, they go up the end and score their first. And the back pass that was so obvious everyone saw it except the ref.

Agreed. There seems to be an unpleasant, almost racial (I know, but it is similar) element to the hate for the club. I can't stand them myself, because of the players they have had from us and because of their air of entitlement, but that is evident in a lot of Big Six clubs (and Everton). Clearly there have been disasters that have affected attitudes such as Hillsborough, which of course was not the fault of the fans, but the police. Heysel was different because that was disorder that led to innocent lives lost, however it is claimed that there was a significant far right element from other clubs inciting the violence. I would say that Liverpool could have taken more responsibility for the tragedy and they seem to reflect on it like they do Hillsborough, i think the two were very different. However, every time i go to Liverpool, i generally find their 'proper' supporters decent enough, fair in criticism or praise. So whilst i will be the first to stand up and banter with their fans (when we can again), i won't be singing 'always the victim..." etc.

Great Nigel Adkins article link below this too.

Yeah, must have been watching something different to everyone else. Thought Ince was okay actually and JC not too biased, how shit Liverpool are is a bigger story than how good we were. Just the laws of the media game unfortunately

It’s okay done it, made a big difference except found out my passwords has been compromised.

How do you do that on an iPad steve?

Chelsea

what a load of crap. its great to win but if anything, Walcott could have been sent off, Stephens handball in the first few weeks would have been given and never saw Mane dive in this game, not penalties but contact. Thiago's further fouls didn't warrant a second yellow. Don't be Garth Crooks, be objective.

which bit did he say that?

Southampton have won 10 league games against reigning Premier League champions, beating all six different teams to win the trophy when defending their crown (Man Utd, Blackburn, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Leicester). They could become the first team to beat all seven Premier League champions in the season following a title win.
