At no point did I say that. If the like of Greaves or Best been born in for example 1995 and had better diets, no smoking or alcohol and been trained in a modern academy from the age of 8 then I think they'd have been better than they were. They were still very good players, but would have been even better in the modern footballers environment.

Footballers of today are getting thousands of hours of professional technical coaching from the age of 8 (sometimes younger) upwards. In the 1970's and 1980's they were joining professional clubs at 16 after school and the coaching they received wasn't close to the level they now get. They also had a drinking and smoking culture, had poorer diets, played on terrible pitches and didn't have the high level of competition for places from international players from all round the world in their squads. You are looking back with rose tinted glasses, the footballers of today are technically more gifted. Southampton's 2nd place team of 1983/84 had only a handful of home British Isles internationals, Saints now have circa 20 current/recent internationals/under 21 internationals in their squad. I think if the two sides met on a modern pitch with a modern football the team of 2014/15 would win.

One of the keeper kits and shorts & socks for home kit...

Adam Leitch ‏@adamleitchsport 7h7 hours ago @JayRodriguez9 will not play for the under-21s tonight. He is fine but #saintsfc just taking a little extra caution

A player that couldn't get into a team relegated to League One, might be an "ok stop gap" for a team looking to compete at the top of the Premier League?

Its Blackburn that deal in chickens, not Burnley.

Its not really "free", in the same way Clyne wasn't really "free". A compensation package would need to be worked out with Burnley.

Would you give up a years worth of a Premier League players salary? Who would he coach? In terms of keeper coaches Saints already have... David Watson - 1st team Vince Bartram - Under 21's Ryan Flood - Under 18's and others for younger age groups

Would you give up a years worth of salary on your contract? Green is on £50,000 per week at QPR, I doubt Saints will pay any where near that for someone that will end up second fiddle to Forster. "4 or 5" what?

The last time Saints finished 7th or higher in top flight was 1989/90. A common factor with 1989/90 squad & Saints of 2014/15...

Nothing about that is hypocritical.

Benteke's hands are around Fonte's neck, it doesn't matter if its a split second of time in a photo or not... they shouldn't be there... ever.

It is a foul, you can't use an opponent for leverage and certainly can't do so with your hands around his neck.

Having your hands around an opponent's neck & using him for leverage to score a header is a foul...

"If" (and its a big if) Southampton beat Man City, then Liverpool have to beat Stoke City away or Southampton would finish above Liverpool for the 1st time ever.

Rodriguez has been training with the first team since late April. He is going to probably going to play for the under 21's in midweek and could possibly be on the bench vs Man City next weekend.

The director of the videos... James Kibbey @blacksharkbytes · 36m36 minutes ago Barry is almost ready... #ShowYourStripes #saintsfc James Kibbey @blacksharkbytes · 17m17 minutes ago Barry's been in that changing room with Jose Fonte for a mighty long time. Should we call for help? #ShowYourStripes #saintsfc James Kibbey @blacksharkbytes · 8m8 minutes ago It's quarter past four thirty. Barry's still in there. Hope he hasn't lost the kit. #ShowYourStripes #saintsfc

Or a mix up of Francis Benali and Neil Maddison. Barry Gale already has shown his liking for 1990's football with the Bryan Roy reference.

They put out a video at exactly 12pm and 2pm today... possibly another at 4pm and the kit reveal at 6pm?

Its the current kit.

Yep.
