SW5 SAINT

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.

I think last night was all the sweeter, coming as it did over Liverpool at Anfield............

That's what I was thinking...........

On a then I 'think" record 36 points going down.......

Brilliant news.......

I suppose it all depends what the injury actually is, hopefully its just bad bruising.......

and Arsenal after that........

Brilliant news that Marseille won't be blackmailed by wham into paying over the odds for Payet.......

I think it was Sky that paid the wages to be honest..........

and F...k off at the first opportunity.....

This........

Surely you meant to say naturally a "Prem top four club" I have actually heard this said by a number of people...................

Not really sure why anyone thinks this is news. When we get an offer we can't refuse we sell, just like anyone else........

Hear Hear, and I imagine once the Chinese Super league has sucked in all the star players, the tv money will follow. I'm also wondering if the collapse in the value of Sterling against all the other major currencies is having it's effect on players wages now? Players who negotiated contracts when the pound was trading 20% higher!

Indeed, it wasn't for nothing that English teams were banned from Europe for 7 years, with an extra year on top for Liverpool. You hear little mention these days of this disgraceful episode in English football.

Do Saints get any money from the Schneiderlin move to Everton?

West Ham have now upped bid to £5m for Snodgrass, would seem to be a bargain for 29 yr old midfielder who can actually score goals......

and this is Saints related how?

I just keep wondering why they don't manage to make their huge crowd advantage, count financially down in that division. I see Hereford with average crowds of between 3,500 and on occasions over 4,500 are blowing away all competition in the ninth and eighth tiers of English football. It must take a special ineptitude with that advantage to remain rooted in the fourth tier of English football.

Don't forget Wham who've already lost.......

One thing someone might know, do the Chinese not have to abide by FFP rules, or is it only European clubs that are ham strung by that?

I just hope we play our strongest team possible, the only way to keep the season alive. Liverpool will surely beat us over the two leg semi final - sorry......
