Yes it would. We'd be level on points and GD, but behind Everton on goals scored.

You are jumping to conclusions.

Did you feel the same about changing badges away from the traditional one of the previous 89 years in 1974?

No it is not like that... because at no point did I say the current badge is not part of our history. It has been part of the history for the last 46 years, but not the first 89 years of the club. We had many more years without it than with it! Having the current badge since 1974 is not a good enough reason for it to remain the club badge for ever more. Pretty much every single English league club has had multiple changes to their badges. Problem is people get attached to the one they grew up with and disregard that there were changes before they grew up and will probably be changes in the future.

Saints didn't have that badge for the first 89 years the club existed! 'History' would have been keeping the city crest as the badge. Would have rejected the change of badge in 1974 after 89 years with a different one?

A role model to all young Pompey fans...

Hasenhuttl won't be on anything remotely like £20k per week. He'll be on far more than that. The Telegraph claimed Saints in 2016 offered Koemam over £80k per week to stay, Everton just offered more.

If you were a teenager at a struggling Championship club and Arsenal offered you a wage increase and quick route to Premier League football would you turn it down?

Match results aren't what Horseman should be judged on. It should be how well he develops players to be ready to move into the first team. They could lose every game 3-0, but if he is improving some of the players so Hasenhuttl can use them then he is doing his job well.

He is still only 18 years old. It doesn't have to be this season for a breakthrough.

Lots of problems with that. The window is closed and Stokes other keepers will be back by the time it does open. Stoke couldn't get remotely close to Forster's wages.

Denis Irwin

How does he prevent him going if an elite European club comes in for him?

I think you'd struggle to name many clubs in the UK who haven't changed their crest multiple times.

Using that 'logic' being 3 points above the relegation zone at the end of the season is not being in a relegation battle.

It is still competing for a place if you end the season only 3 points away from it.

We did as recently as 4 years ago! In 2016 Saints were only 3 points away from 4th at the end of the season.

You wouldn't be insinuating Ralph told him to do it... would you...!? 😃

Stuart Armstrong will miss Wednesday's game vs Israel due to getting booked today vs Slovakia. Helps keep him fresh for Monday vs Wolves. 👍

It has the Southampton club crest, kits and player faces, which are not available in the standard edition of Football Manager 2021.

I'll be improving Ward-Prowse further for the winter update, including a higher rating for free kicks. Not going to happen before then though.

Interviews he did during his time in Spain were in fluent English 🙄

Vardy has been a top Premier League player for 5 years, Ings only for 12-18 months. He is closing in on Vardy's CA with more and more evidence building.
