Alderweireld? That chap who decided he wanted to play for Spurs regardless of when, what or how Saints bid for him?

In before MLG..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect [h=2][/h]

I think the 'dislike' comes more from his timing, rather than the content, of his articles per se. He seems to always pop up with a 'cage rattler' just before the end of a transfer window, or just after a run of disappointing results, or just after a clutch of player leaving rumours. Maybe it's just coincidence. Or maybe its completely connected. Or maybe he's just doing his job of laying down click-bait. Who knows.... Either way, I suspect we wouldn't have seen an Ashton article, accurate or otherwise, about Koeman shaking his head at an U21 game if we'd had a better start to the season and no agitated player rumours. But that's what he's paid to do and he does it well.

Pragmatism? On the Saintsweb forum? I hope your hatch is well and truly battened down....

Last night on here reminded me of the day that Adkins was sacked. As such, I'm not losing sleep quite yet....

I'd prefer to discuss the colour of Fonte"s shoelaces, but whatever floats your boat...

As my learned friend CB Fry would concur, we now appear to be entering a period of normality for clubs the size of Southampton. Some years we'll do better than 'normal' and some years we'll do worse than 'normal'. Normality. Move along. Nothing to see here...

Indeed. If booing your own players is good enough for Pompey fans then its damn well good enough for us. Who wants to come across more intellectually superior to them anyway I say....?

That would require posters to use some of their logic coupons and, as we know, there's a perpetual shortage of those on ye old SWF.

Subtle hint noted

Meltdown

At least you spelled his name right....

I've missed these kind of match threads the last 5 years.

He used to work for Square 1..... isn't that the PR company that Cortese used to use when at Saints....?

Why not?

PUP! We're the bestest biggest non-cheating fan owned club in the whole wide world!

Quite an elaborate smokescreen then....

Hmmm....

If Wanyama is genuinely ill then I'm a Pompey fan
