SW5 SAINT

Nice profit for the Liebherrs there........

I hadn't realised we paid £25M for him?

I can't imagine that a half fit out of contract CB of whatever previous quality would be able to demand 100k per week. Nobody else has exactly been battering on his door to sign him.

and the FA Cup winners automatic qualification for Champions League group stages.......

I can't believe any true Southampton fan wouldn't happily take relegation, after the sheer joy of winning the league. Winning the league is a joy that lasts for ever( as any poopey fan will tell you, even though none actually remember it!) Just treading water in the Premier League isn't all its cracked up to be.

I'd rather it was done and dusted before the play offs. Agonisingly just missing out on a play off spot!

and yet Watford and Burnley same number of points as Southampton, are 33/1 and 22/1 respectively with https://m.oddschecker.com/m/football/english/premier-league/relegation........

With the Barcelona defence caving in at PSG, he could well end up there!

This, though distinct possibility Leicester could gatecrash the party.......

You weren't banned for very long?

Probably the dam is just like all the rest of their dilapidated infrastructure, left to decay!

Watching Gillette Soccer Saturday, I new Saints had scored because Matty's arm could be seen frantically waving to the side of Jeff Stelling....

Is it worth bothering with the wait to get a work permit clearance, followed by months of getting him match fit?

It's definitely a mustn't lose game at the very least.............

and another million if we stay up!

with us......

or London.........?

Fonte gives away a penalty on his wham debut.....Oh dear.......

Lolz........

Kevin Keegan in 1980 Peter Osgood in 1974 equaling the British record of a £270,000 fee and Charlie George for £400,000 in about 1978 was also considered a major coup at the time. These were deals we were out muscling all the other leading European sides. Nothing in recent years ha come anywhere remotely close.

When was the last time Liverpool lost three consecutive home games, all inside a week?

They really do seem seem bitter about our EFL cup success. Iv'e been fielding taunts about their successes of long long ago for the last couple of days from my blue few acquaintances. The can't quite get it, that it is the present that counts.....

I wonder what the significance is that Lander are a construction company specialising is sporting stadia construction. Do they plan to rebuild St Mary's?

Surely the value of contracts i.e the television money guaranteed from Sky, must be part of the equation in determining the value of a football club. Going forward with parachute payments, that must be worth about £200m on it's own. Lets face it with a privately owned company like Southampton, the owner can in theory just pocket that money.
