Nope, because I have been at work. Fact is two or three of our players who have been here before this season (Cork, Morgan and Shaw) are as good as anyone at our level. It's no surprise that some of our players aren't playing every week.

I don't think he is the kind of person to build a stadium when there is no guarenteed return...

Would you rather we played in a stadium half full every week apart from very occasionally, or play in a smaller stadium which is packed every week? I know which I'd rather.

Agree. I just wasn't going to waste my time with him.

Although I agree I think it is sad seeing all these stadiums half empty. Middlesbrough went and got a big stadium and they more often than not, have it half full with no atmosphere.

Indeed - look at Wolves !

Would you expect anything else ?!

Even if Cortese has got plans for it and expects it to happen, I can't see it happening until we've stayed up in the prem for 5 years.

They're just mock ups done by one company. I'm sure lots of designs have been made but the company are probably using it for publicity more than anything. I don't doubt that Cortese has his ambitions set pretty high and he has definitely looked into an expansion, but that is some way off just yet. Anyone remember this???

Odd thing is if he'd come 10th English player or something id be proud, but you can't help but think it's been voted by morons. Adam is a talented footballer and has played a huge part in our return to the prem, but 2nd best "young" player in the prem?! No chance.

It's a joke that. Ridiculous decision by the ref in such a massive game, what kind of reaction was he expecting?! And those that said it never happened under Adkins, it definitely did!

But of respect chaps, they won the World Cup or so I hear

Wow. That is ridiculous. I'm guessing the writer is about 15

That was highlighted on purpose..There wouldn't be many who wouldn't take Gaston, Clyne, Yoshi and J-Rod either. Your opinion seems to state that we should have spent no money on players who are much much better than what we have?! I don't think we could have got much better in the transfer market apart from the odd exceptional bit of business like Michu. Plus, I'd much rather us sign someone who is arguably good enough and going to improve at 21, than someone that is definitely good enough for 1 season but after that they probably won't be.

But we shouldn't have the EXPECTATION that they will be. It takes time. Maya was woeful at Arsenal, Gaston has been in and out and away generally been awful. Clyne and Boruc are first choice because they have little competition, and J-Rod has improved shed loads under MP.

I hate the fact some people say the players we have brought in haven't done enough. Some of the players we have got are fantastic. Players like Boruc, Shaw, Cork, Morgan, Punch, would probably get in the majority of teams in the bottom half of the league. Just because other players haven't pushed them out the side doesn't mean they are pointless signings but maybe just give some credit to the ones who have grown with the club.

Yer but you have to be a clown if you think that the players we bought were instantly going to become our best players. Especially those who have come from abroad. Ok I thought Gaston would have more of an impact but not really surprised he's taking time to adjust. J-Rod has been arguably our best player since MP took over. Yoshida has probably been our best CB this year, and Clyne our first choice RB. Only ones who are questionable really are Mayuka and Forren.

Link to the architects are here... http://www.infinite3d.co.uk/3d-visualisations/sport/southampton-training-ground.html Seems to be a few others very similar...

Don't think we'd change formation, and don't think we'd play Gaston out wide because he is poor there. Same players but 4231 and swap Punch for Lallana though...

Shame that Reina looks like he'll be fit for it !

How? And how does he count as 'young'?!

Empty seats !

Looks more like it should be the home of McClaren F1 team!

Weather looks nice

Do we?! Christ. Personally I think no game of football should be 40 quid or more.
