Amazing how many BBC local radio presenters all over the country don't do even the most basic of research into the opposition. They'll never oust Mark Lawrenson...

For those out of the UK, you can use your Saint Player log-in and listen to it on Seagulls Player... http://www.player.seagulls.co.uk/latest-news/article/4045697/date/20140731191600/page/0/name/albion-v-southampton-live-commentary

No video streams, but there is radio commentary from BBC Radio Sussex... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football-28583892

Again you are misunderstanding what I said. I said it would improve the quality of today's bench which is... Subs: K. Davis (GK), Flannigan, Stephens, McQueen, Cork, Mayuka, Hooiveld, Reed, Targett If Pelle gets injured today, without Gallagher there is no like-for-like replacement even if you think Gallagher isn't ready.

All I said was that it would make the squad better than it is today. Why don't you think that is the case?

Add Gallagher, Ramirez and Schneiderlin to the squad and it looks better. But yes, we still need some attacking additions.

Then the deal wouldn't happen, they can't hold a gun to his head (well... Abramovich might hire someone perhaps). In any case I'd imagine Bertrand would have been informed during negotiations such a clause was included and he's happy with it as things stand today.

Twitter does contain millions of randoms spouting rubbish, but it also contains the actual people in question and journalists with good contacts. If you filter it correctly its far better than a "block down the pub told me... XYZ".

How hard have you been looking? http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jul/30/southampton-ryan-bertrand-chelsea-season-loan http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11700/9400969/transfer-news-southampton-sign-chelsea-defender-ryan-bertrand-on-loan http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28576393 BBC Solent Sport @solentsport · 21h Chelsea left-back Ryan Bertrand joins Southampton on a season-long loan #saintsfc #cfc. We understand deal could be permanent next summer

Where did you get that from exactly?

If we signed all of them, we'd be looking to do a lot better than merely "stay up".

That article is wrong. Ryan Bertrand signed a 5 year contract in 2012, so his Chelsea contract ends on 30th June 2017... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19489662

Efe Ambrose was sent off, not Virgil van Dijk.

Jordan Sibley ‏@jordansibley 1m Number three is three minutes away . . . #saintsfc

Possibly related... Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Wohay, some good #SaintsFC news is imminent

Probably, but he played in deeper central midfield role under Koeman already, he has done at international level and even in brief spells for Saints in the previous two seasons.

Schneiderlin Taider Ramirez Davis Cork Wanyama Ward-Prowse Reed Even if Schneiderlin leaves, thats a lot of central midfielders for a 4-3-3 system. Its the area of our squad we have the most depth, by far.

Is that actually based on anything or have you made the leap in those "20 mins" in your head?

No it doesn't, Surman has been playing for Norwich City in pre-season games. Loans don't run to the end of July.

The more players we sell, the less work there is for me to do for FM15. #everycloud

Thats from FM13 and the 2012/13 season. Keep up, Tokyo-Saint!

To be fair, he can take a degree of credit, but it was more than just him. Shaw/Chambers/Reed etc joined the club in roughly 2004 when Rupert Lowe was still at Saints and benefitted from the systems at the academy he was ultimately responsible for.

MLG's doing a joke, MLG's doing a joke, everybody quiet, cos MLG's doing a joke.

Post #4 was the answer. Oh, sorry you meant Lowe.
