http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2398201,00.html Good news Lallana, Lambert, Adkins, Martin and Barnard all in the last 6 months tied themselves to longer contracts. If only Chamberlain would do the same...

What counts as "different" in your eyes for a red and white Saints shirt? What exactly did you expect? There is only so much you can do. Is it not different in that it has white sleeves and a white shoulder panel on the back, which have never been seen on a Saints kit before?

The latest Mirror article... http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Saouthampton-prepared-sell-Arsenal-target-Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain-for-12million-plus-in-cash-article773372.html The quote from the "Saints insider" is a little strange... Sounds made up to me. Journalist seems unaware the club is run by Cortese completely and owned by the Liebherr estate. The article also says "Cortese, who wants £12m-£15m". Which again makes no sense, how do they know this? I very much doubt Cortese makes this info available to anyone. If a bid of £12m is enough for them to accept, why the £15m figure? Just looks to me like the Chamberlains' are getting the Mirror to help a deal happen with an article every day because Cortese refuses to play ball.

Or more likely, a way for people to buy the kit when it goes on sale for the first time tomorrow in the knowledge of which player has which number beforehand.

Dickson from 5 to 23 Chamberlain from 26 to 11 Forte from 8 to 17 Guly from 11 to 10 Puncheon 10 to N/A Mills from 18 to N/A Ward-Prowse from N/A to 30 Stephens from N/A to 32 Forecast from 23 to 31 Chaplow from 30 to 18 Holmes from 21 to 24 Seaborne 19 to 25 Martin 17 to 16

He is in the list with number 12. Like last season.

Footballers are a suspicious lot, many avoid 13. Some sub keepers seem to like having a the traditional keeper number "1" in the number, hence Bialkowski with 21 and Forecast with 31.

What were you expecting it to look like? Now, this is a cheap looking kit for 2011/12! Imagine the reaction on here if Umbro dished up that (along with the sponsor)!

I would never normally complain about anything I see on TV, but this annoyed me! The contact info for anyone that wants it... http://www.channel4.com/4viewers/contact-us

What I actually said was, it is hard to believe Darren Lewis because he has been wrong before about Chamberlain.

February 2011 against Italy.

You won't get 10 to 15 minute long highlights like you would with Saints Player will you?

Is that the same Grant Holt that Rickie Lambert outscored in 2009/10?

So not 100% then, as I said.

Do we know 100% it was Liverpool? I don't think it has ever been revealed.

By people that have been showed to be wrong and make things up. They don't have a clue what Cortese is planning/doing.

What makes you think the Mirror story is true? I have already shown you that the same journalist made up a story about Chamberlain. Why believe him this time?

It is still there. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/companydetails/0,,10280,00.html

A Championship game costs £30. This event on Saturday is going on for 6 hours and involves two large European teams, who possibly will be getting an appearance fee to turn up to this tournament. That has to be paid for. Also outside the stadium are a number of other activities to attract young fans, and kids tickets are very cheap. £16 for an adult is not expensive for 135 minutes of friendly football against very good opposition. Look at what a lot of other clubs are charging in preseason and you will see it is value for money in terms of football entertainment.

Why have you leaped to that conclusion? Some people complain when the club doesn't advertise things. Now you are complaining when they do. Pretty much every club advertises friendlies right up until the game, as often they are a last minute purchase for the fanbase. Perhaps something the club want to avoid on Saturday. It does not mean it is or isn't selling well. We just don't know. £16 for 4 hours of entertainment with three 45 minute games involving two large European clubs, and you think it is too much?

As I said earlier, the journalist of this article has lied before, he can lie again... Red top journalists lie. Watch the news or read the Guardian.

Schneiderlin is a holding midfielder. He sits just in front of the centre backs, wins the ball or collects from the defence and creates moves early on with a range of passing. Cork is a box to box midfielder. He is good on the ball, good passer and likes to break forward. What type of players do you think they are?

I was referring to them saying that the owner was dead and implying there might be something shady going on. Which is wrong, the former owner is dead, the "estate of Markus Liebherr" and whoever that involves (wife, daughter etc or an inanimate entity like a trust-fund) is not dead.

Both from the same "journalist". I use the term in its loosest possible sense. 1) June 9th http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Arsenal-transfer-news-Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain-Southampton-starlet-will-sign-July-1st-despite-Manchester-United-Liverpool-interest-article746002.html Article says he "jetted off on holiday in the knowledge that he will be confirmed as an Arsenal player on July 1st". 2) July 19th http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Arsenal-Liverpool-Manchester-City-target-Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain-tells-Southampton-wants-move-to-Premier-League-article772518.html Article says he "has pleaded with Southampton not to wreck his dream of playing in the Premier League next season". 1) proved to be completely wrong. Why believe 2)? Boy who cried wolf!

All it would take is one Channel Four researcher to look at this... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/companydetails/0,,10280,00.html Or companies house, in order to see that what the program said tonight was nonsense.
