Now that's interesting. Do you have a source for that?

- In the first 10 games of the season whilst Saints were adapting to a new league Saints average 0.4 points per game, over the course of a 38 game season that would be 15 points and obviously would result in 20th place. - In the 28 Premier League games since the beginning of November when Shaw and Cork started playing Saints have averaged 1.32 points per game, over the course of a 38 game season that will be 50 points and would have been enough for 8th place. Next season we won't need to adapt to the Premier League in the opening 10 games, that has already happened.

Umm... I disproved your point. You said Saints didn't score many goals in the opening 6 games, I showed they did. In any case although Saints scored 10 goals in those games, Adkins had us far too open and we conceded 18 goals.

Saints scored 10 goals in their first 6 league games this season.

As I said, it may well be a bug so report it and help get it fixed for FM14.

Referee mistakes happen in real football, shouldn't they also happen in a simulation of real football? I'm not sure if that is the case here without seeing it myself, it could well be a bug but just offering an alternative viewpoint. If it does still concern you, report the bug here and put the examples on the FTP... http://community.sigames.com/forumdisplay.php/296-Match-Engine-3D-and-Team-Talks

I don't know, tell me... how did you guess I sit in the centre of the Kingsland? Could it be because I've mentioned it before? Or could it be that it has the best views of the pitch without paying to be in the Itchen hospitality seats and that is where any sensible person wanting to watch football would choose to buy a season ticket?

That quite an exaggeration.

Wolves knocked down an entire stand in May and had people watching games in the new stand in September of the same year.

Converting existing Kingsland centre seats into hospitality? I won't be happy if they force me to move!

Quite a leap you've taken there.

Signing a contract until June 2016 would suggest otherwise...

Are you confident this mate of yours owns a house that a Premier League footballer would be looking to buy?

No need, Steve Grant did a good job.

For what ticket? Mine cost £675 to renew this season.

A Pompey fan gloating... A Saints fan's responce...

I didn't use a search engine, I went straight to the Premier League website.

They say Stephens is playing right back and Chambers is a defensive midfielder. That is not where they've been playing for Saints. Stephens is a centre back for Saints normally and Chambers is playing at right back for both England and Saints.

Found on page page 92 and 93 of the Premier League 2012/13 rulebook... http://www.premierleague.com/content/dam/premierleague/site-content/News/publications/handbooks/premier-league-handbook-2012-2013.pdf

Southampton earnt more in prize money today than the Pompey fans trust raised to buy the club...

It makes no sense to do that. Either way he'd be playing for Saints and gaining value. By selling him and loaning him back he is gaining value for Chelsea and not Saints. So why not keep him, not as if we need the money with the Liebherr trust backing Cortese's ambitions. He will be signing a long term deal for Southampton Football Club on his 18th birthday (12th July 2013) like James Ward-Prowse did with a 5 year deal...

Next season we won't have to adapt to the Premier League in the opening 10 games, that has already happened.

In the 27 league games from the start of November 2012, Saints have averaged 1.33 points per game. Over a 38 games season that is 50 points and is top 8 form.
