Why have you included these players? They aren't being used this season and Saints are already in mid table without them in the squad. You could also add Seaborne, Hammond, Forecast, De Ridder and Forte to your list. They are deadwood this season and will all be moved out of the club asap.

No I haven't.

And your evidence for this is...?

West Brom are only 4 points off the top 7 with 7 games to go, are they really that much better than Saints? Would we need to improve that much to get to their level?

Every sellout is turning away potential customers, money and an opportunity to expand the fanbase in future years. A 32k capacity has limited Saints for 12 games in a relegation battle. A better Saints team with higher quality international players and the team higher up the table would attract even more fans.

Yet another game has sold out 2 weeks before kickoff... (I thought people said things like this wouldn't happen?) http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/only-hospitality-left-for-west-ham-749445.aspx The last 5 home games in a row sold out. Only two left after the West Ham game, Stoke on the last day of the season will sell out, the West Brom game perhaps won't, but you never know. So that is 11 sellouts (possibly 12) from the 19 Premier League home games in a season of relegation battling. Imagine if we actually had a good season...?! 32k capacity is simply too small. Hence Cortese commissioning AFL for stadium development and expansion designs.

No it wouldn't. Would be better if they get relegated outright and then -10 applied next season in League Two.

Do you have even the slightest shred of evidence he ever has? Thread ends.

Every player that came in was them an international of note apart from Bertrand. It was still a good very Chelsea team.

Probably the first of many stories like this... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/reading-transfer-news-nigel-adkins-1795631?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

17th Wigan 31 points - 8 games to play ....................................... 18th Aston Villa 30 points - 7 games to play Last game of the season sees Wigan vs Villa, so points will be lost somewhere from that game. It won't need 40 points to stay up this season, even if Villa and Wigan go on amazing runs all the other sides below 12th place Saints won't as they will be taking points off each other.

That "FACT" was about teams in the bottom 3 at the time of the sacking. Sunderland are not currently in the bottom 3. Although given their dreadful form, upcoming fixture list and season ending injuries to their captain and top scorer they could well be soon!

The sooner it happens, the more likely the -10 will be applied next season.

Read the last line of my last post.

Well that doesn't always happen in fact I've never seen that happen before. So hardly my fault. In any case I've edited the original post and all the pictures should now show.

What are you talking about? All the images show for me.

1) Before Christmas all the category academies were in 3 leagues. 2) After Christmas, the top 3rd from each league from before Christmas all went into the top league, the middle 3rd into a league and the bottom 3rd into a league. The top 3 teams in the post Christmas top league all go into the semi finals, the top team in the middle league and the top team in the bottom league have a playoff for the last semi final spot againt the winner of the elite league. Hope that makes sense! Southampton and Man Utd were the only clubs to reach the elite stage group of both the category one under 18's and under 21's.

The QPR performance wasn't awful, Saints dominated the game and had over 3x as many chances as QPR (17 to 5). Poor finishing let us down, like it also did in the Norwich game.

Not that again! I love being "itk"

Someone employed by Plymouth Argyle told me. Plus, I was the one that broke the "news" he was going to sign for us 5 months before it happened... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?34280-Sam-Gallagher-Plymouth-Argyle-youth-player-to-sign-for-Saints

Yes he did, admittedly not a lot... £75,000 up front £50,000 on 17th birthday £15,000 after first game £50,000 after 10 games £50,000 after 20 games £50,000 after 30 games £50,000 if he appears for England £25,000 if he appears for Scotland 15% of profit sell on clause

19 days ago he signed a new 3-year deal at Saints.

We should all want Saints to do as well as possible. Not restrain our success because it would "change the club and fan-base completely". We had daft people saying they'd prefer not to be promoted and stay in the Championship, I find it bizarre people wishing Saints not to win games and succeeding. So what? Yes, it would bring alot more "plastics", but I and every other Saints fan should want to see Saints do the best they possibly can.
