and yet he isn't going to the World Cup!

Yes, on day one...

2 yellow cards in a match = 1 match ban so yes Yoshida is available

When did you see him play last? He isn't remotely close to the quality he once had.

The same we used vs Bournemouth probably... 3-4-2-1 McCarthy Bednarek Stephens Hoedt Cedric Hojbjerg Romeu Bertrand Tadic Redmond Austin

No and there is no reason why it should.

Trip Advisor clearly can see it as suspicious as it is so soon after the nationally reported incident. If Saints fans all through the next few months give 1 star reviews without making it obvious it is connected with recent events then Trip Advisor will probably leave them up.

We were talking about the youngsters in a 3rd tier side, not a Premier League team like where both of your examples were from. When Kane and Beckham were 19 years old they would already be at a level where they could play 3rd tier football, they wouldn't have needed an under 23 team to get games. If Kane and Beckham were 19 and at Pompey, they'd be star players in the first team. Why does that mean businesses in the top flight should subsidise those in the 3rd tier. As I asked before... in what other industries does that happen? Pompey should fund themselves, I'm sure they could reallocate money from elsewhere if they were really concerned with youth development. They choose not to! Also if Pompey had a high quality 19 or 20 year old that might one day be good enough for the PL and England national team then he would already be in Pompey's first team squad in the 3rd tier. He would not need under 23 football.

Or a virus...

But is a lesser achievement, with a weaker Saints team against weaker opponents. It isn't much of an achievement. We've shown as recently as 2016 it is possible for us to win 18, draw 9 and only lose 11 out of 38 PL games.

It is nonsense, it is far better for the club and fans to return to its path of the previous four seasons. Finishing 8th in the Premier League is far more enjoyable than 1st in the Championship. Of course winning a league is nice, but you aren't playing some of the top teams in the world with a squad packed with internationals at Saints.

Why is relegation needed for that to happen? Players can be sold if we stay up, a far better situation.

A muscle that pumps blood isn't the place for answers!

Like this...

If you are trying to visit them all over many seasons then who exactly are "the 92"? Because it changes every year with relegation and promotion into the Football League.

Lemina pulled his hamstring in the Everton game, attempted to play on until halftime and then be subbed at halftime? Hard to see it as anything other than a genuine injury. Mark Hughes has stated Boufal was training with the under 23 and for a few days he was ill. That doesn't require a cover up, the club have confirmed Boufal is involved in a discipline issue.

Well Sky love their stats... they could at least get them correct!

Sky Sports can't do maths. They say a Saints victory would mean Swansea need at least an 8 goal swing. It is currently 7 goals difference but as the teams play each, any 1 goal margin victory changes the difference to 9 not 8 http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11363644/premier-league-permutations-what-huddersfield-southampton-swansea-west-brom-need-to-survive

Would they lose a lot of business? Championship teams and Championship away fans still need places to stay. 23 Championship games vs 19 Premier League games in Swansea for the 2018/19 season. If anything they'd have more business if Swansea went down with 4 extra league fixtures!

No computer algorithm required for this, it is just common sense. Can you outline how losing £100m+ from your revenue allows you to rebuild and turf out deadwood easier than if the revenue remains at current levels?

As I said earlier... Why do you have an issue with that? Would you prefer Saints to only sign players Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool and Tottenham will never want to sign? Because that is the only way Saints won't sell their best players to them. It is better to have the likes of van Dijk, Wanyama, Mane etc for 2 years than not at all.

Until the selling of van Dijk it had been. We spent more on players incoming than sales until very recently. And that money could yet still be spent... we just don't know yet.
