SW5 SAINT

I seem to remember we signed Evans from Oxford, and they threw in Mark Wright into the deal as well.

I can't help wondering if VVD's injury is career threatening?

You make some very good points. But to to be honest in a professional game it was never representative of being Hampshires finest against Lancashires best. The best footballers are always going to be drawn to the richest football clubs in the world, wherever they are. Fans have always been another matter entirely, although sadly it would now seem even those who are wealthiest are drawn to the richest and most famous clubs.

I think as its Southampton, it should be a Ocean Liner leaving Southampton docks.......

We should be looking to extend his contract now, just ward of the predators.........

I think its somehow worse because it was such a good goal, with Cedric being quicker and disposessing there man beating the next followed by an excellent cross etc etc

Look at the positives, we appear to have unearthed an absolute gem in Gabbiadini. Lets just hope the management grow a pair when Liverpool and ManU come calling in the summer!

I wonder what things would be like if he was still in charge?

Just got on a tube at Piccadilly and got talking to a load of Southampton fans, a Cup final or something is on tomorrow. Should have asked them if they were on here! Why can SSN only talk about Manure?

Not quite sure why it is such big news. It is after all the second season running that the manager of the reigning champions was sacked.

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.............
