What is Walcott's present fitness/injury status?

^ dudes or duds?

Screw Liverpool and VVD.

Certainly Romeu’s decline is perhaps the most telling Bell weather. Changing manager will not be enough, squad needs major surgery to cut out the cancer of sedition and debride the goal-less forwards.

3-3 at Boscombe

United equalising in Fergie time

mmm...wouldn't surprise me.

So we have it confirmed that there are problems in the dressing room. And that is with VVD to all intents and purposes out of the picture. We had hints of it in Puel's reign. Toxic situation that will likely result in relegation unless the trouble-maker(s) are shipped out.

"That's no problem..."

Utterly vapid performance. A new low.

2-0 training match stuff

Almost 2

Tottenham are only in second gear.

The first of many one fears.

Very good refereeing

Alli “natural reaction” to elbow opponent in the face....

Singing our song.

Looking ominous

Sleepy half empty atmosphere

Chelsea.

Lets hope we don't blow the proceeds on a bunch of no-marks like we did the Mane £££.

Spot on. We replaced Mane with a whole clutch of crocks and journeymen.

Relegation zone beckoning.

I am reminded of how Spurs blew the Bale money on over-priced mediocrity. We sit here at Christmas, sat a perilous 3 points above the relegation zone, and our only player capable of scoring is out with a hamstring for the next number of weeks. The forthcoming transfer window is perhaps the most important ever in Saint's history.

The canker of complacency that was gnawing away, unseen, during Koeman's era, infected and rotted the first team under both Puel and Pellegrino. Yes, Puel had to go, and so now does Pellegrino. But there needs to be far-reaching change higher up, and a return to the electrifying club we had only a few seasons back. Southampton needs corporate operational leadership that will rejuvenate the moribund academy as well as the first team.
