SW5 SAINT

is this his first ever final?

thru to the final, feels like a Saints win.

Agree with that. At least Lallana's strop was in the close season, and he always gave 100% IMHO.

We are leaving the EU, I think most have have accepted that. However I very much expect we will stay in the single market(which is not the same as the EU) At the same time paying a very much increased contribution to be in it , with no say what so ever on how it is run. In all probability we will also have to accept some form of freedom of movement. Nothing about freedom of movement on that referendum ballot paper!

None of the many crocks we have signed over many years ever came good,,,,,,,,

Well, it is now just a multi million pound business for buying, developing and selling on players. Those of us who were brought up on football clubs striving to win honours, will struggle to maintain an interest. It used to be sport in those days, rather than a business.

According to SSN both Classie and Rodrigues are on the bench.........

I wonder how the "supporters" of ManU, Chelsea, Arsenal etc would get used to life of no longer winning everything going?

Please let it happen.........

About 10, won't start until mid October, gets injured again quickly etc etc

Agreed, but Southampton would get an excellent return on their investment........

He's obviously highly rated by the club, so it's very good news.

We've got previous for spending loads on crocks who never ever then seem to play - Delgado, Charlie George, Perry Groves, Hirst and Osvaldo, just off the top of my head. And why shouldn't Alpine be allowed to express an opinion with out all the bullying he then comes in for? It is after all a forum.......

i thought that was Dave Merrington. i know, annoying whoever............

Did it really cost £200m to lay that tacky green plastic over the running track at the "London Stadium"?

and Everton.......

100% record I think - of not winning.

Don't forget Cardiff City..........

I think most our player exits pestered to go, just didn't hand in a transfer request. It's extremely unlikely (Osvaldo apart) any of them got their contracts paid up.

Sounds like Wanyama's first touch for Spurs resulted in a free kick from which Everton scored..........:-)

Much as i hate to say it, I think our defensive record over the last few seasons does owe something to the managers who have been in place during that period.

Unless you count Koeman!

Strange draw for the 2nd round of the EPL Cup with no Southampton or poopey involved...........

In retrospect not quite sure why Lambert is up there now. Ok, he scored a lot of goals in our five season journey from League 1 to the EPL, but in years to come he will be regarded just another journeyman. Bobby Stokes or Ron Davies might be more appropriate.
