Saint Garrett

This is golden. I look forward to the next instalment.

I have never met such a grouply deluded set of fans. Ok you meet the occasional fan from a club who is deluded, but these lot are on another level. I got a text from a WHU mate the other day, saying: 'We're going places this season, playing some great football and winning games, it doesn't get much better than this'. Quite incredible seeing as they cant put 3 passes together without playing the long ball. Not sure why they care about us either. Get the impression it's because we play good football. Jealous maybe ? They need to get that chip off their shoulder. It's like Brighton mkII. Who would have thought massive old West Ham would be bothered by little old Southampton.

He got booked for diving at their place last season I believe. But then Noble dived for their penalty as Sharp didn't touch him but they seem to forget that bit.

Would have thought he'll play in the Leeds game, rather than chucking him in then.

Also good that we paid no agents fee or anything to sign him. Good on Cortese.

Very much looking forward to seeing him when he's fit again. Looked very lively when he came on vs Villa and caused them lots of problems, also very different to what we have.

Why the negativity....there is still 93 points on offer this season. I think we'll finish with 97 and come the standard 2nd.

Same as last season then!

Been to QPR. ****hole of a ground with a crap view. They can shove that one if they think I'm paying 50 quid for the privilege!

West Ham £39. Not a baaarrrrrgaaiinn!!

The only place we don't have PL quality is left back.

£38k.

Sounds horrible tbf.

But Fulham took an initial 1500 I think, then they requested another 700 or something.

Aren't we entitled to 10% or 3000 whichever is fewer ? There is no mention of it being an 'initial allocation'.

Yep. and now a lot of other media outlets are also reporting it, probably based on that article. How can they be sure it's that long? Can imagine they cant gather a prediction until the swelling has reduced.

This problem may have added to the fact there are always gaps at the bottom of the stands. When I first used it, I didn't even realise you could scroll down, I just thought that was the front of the stand and didnt think anything of it.

We have received an allocation of 1,488 tickets for the trip to the Hawthorns on Monday 5th November. Saints kick-off their November schedule in the Barclays Premier League with a fixture that has proved to be a tricky one in recent meetings, with three draws recorded in each of our last three visits to the Albion. The Monday evening match at the Hawthorns is an 8pm kick-off with tickets priced as follows: £15 per Adult £10 per Over 60yrs, Students and Under 21yrs £5 per Under 17yrs We have also received 7x wheelchair & attendant tickets, and 7 x Ambulant Disabled & Attendant tickets priced at:- £5 per Supporter & Attendant Tickets will go on sale in the following criteria:- - Wed 17th October - to Season Ticket Holders who purchased at least 2 games from Man City, Arsenal, Everton & West Ham - Fri 19th October - to Season Ticket Holders who purchased at least 1 game from Man City, Arsenal, Everton & West Ham - Mon 22nd October - to any Season Ticket Holders - Wed 24th October - to any supporter who purchased at least 1 game from Man City, Arsenal, Everton & West Ham - Friday 26th October – General sale All sales dates are subject to remaining ticket availability.

Might drive up after work for this one.

Interesting that our only win was with the most long balls. The thing with those stats is that it doesn't tell you what a 'long ball' is. We're probably playing narrower away so therefore our players are closer together. Also I would guess we've made more passes when we're at home, therefore there will be more log balls, a better stat would be a percentage of our passes that are 'long balls'

Supposedly for a while (Christmas has been rumoured). Might mean a start for that SKATE Taylor and we can get him sent off again

Homeland is quality, first episode of second series was on last night. Entourage and Californication are such easy watching and so many attractive women in them! Is there still talk of an Entourage film being released ? Prison Break is awesome, watched all of them twice through now. And Band of Brothers and the Pacific are epic viewing. Never seen the Wire, and Dexter I started watching but just couldnt get into it for some reason.

Can't see us getting anything out of this one tbh. They're nothing special, but they're very physical and will use those tactics to bully us out the game. Need to stop supply from Jarvis and have to keep Carroll away from the ball as much as possible. But I expect he's thinking that if he could choose anyone to play next to score against, it would be us as we're dodgy in defence.

What about away from home? Can we afford him and Gaston in the same side ?

No, I don't rate players who just run around a lot. I just think there is a lot of abuse thrown Fox's way, because of the lack of cover Lallana provides. I'm not saying he's a bad player at all.
