Whoosh. Sense of humour failure hey Old Nick.

Pity the Southampton Page twitter couldn't be arsed to provide the link. Think that twitter account will definitely go on my blocked list. They didn't post any of the other stuff on there. Quite honestly the bit on the Sky page sounds complete made up to me. Nothing in Lyall Thomas' "article" to suggest there is any source for this, which seems to be a throwaway at the end of the Southampton section which is full of insights such as "Oriol Romeu: Questions over his future, especially if Southampton bring in James Garner.", not heard the Girona stories then Lyall? I'll treat this story with the contempt it deserves.

"Southampton Page" state that they always source the information they tweet. But there is no real source for this tweet, they say "Sky Sports", but there is nothing on any Sky Sports platform (that I can find) that supports this. Just putting "Sky Sports" in a tweet is not sourcing a news item. I have to say this sounds like bollocks to me (I certainly hope it is) or something made up by Alex Crook (maybe that's the same thing).

Might suggest this was not the most appropriate thread for this sad news. Best wishes to the lad.

More like the new Dyson, looks good, but expensive and breaks down frequently.

I think 'periods' is a bit of a stretch. Occasional good game, usually against lower league teams.

Does he get an assist for his goal?

Long way to go yet. There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lips. But I wish him all the best.

How about if we loan them so that they get promotion, if our so called deadwood players are too good for that League then it should be a doddle.

I read earlier that Chelsea are looking at potentially a further 8 exits before the window slams shut (admittedly this came from the Express so it is probably bollox). With Aubemyang being lined up I can see Broja being one of those 8, he isn't going to get much game time this season.

I don't get Moi over Stu, but otherwise that's probably not too bad. Not been a good day for Saints so far, with the u18s and Women both losing but I think we have a chance here against United. 😉

1-0 , Will Merry.

3-0 winners at Stoke tonight, Sam Bellis scored twice.

The point is that you didn't have to say anything at all.

Sort of depends who else is there, otherwise you've really answered your own question. He was an Academy product (he was at the Bath Satellite initially, like Bale) and spent 8 years with the Club. Hails from nearby (to me) Chippenham, and his Dad, Ade was on the coaching staff for a while. Rupert Lowe and his buget axe were responsible for Mings being released, and he went about getting back into football the hard way, initially at Millfield School and then through non-league Yate and Chippenham before being picked up by Ipswich. He's actually a really level headed, down to earth guy, despite what Souness might have you believe, and well liked among his contempories around here. I think that Lowe probably finished Mings with Southampton, left a bitter taste.

Why Redmond, he wasn't even in the squad yesterday? and why only 4 subs? We should start with Stu and Joe, Adam A is a better impact sub. If Perraud starts (which would be harsh on Djenepo) then Djenepo def needs to be a sub, Adam, Mara, Moi, you're right its difficult to see another impact sub, unless we have a new striker by then.

Didn't see that or any mention of it on MOTD re-run this morning. Heard it on the commentary yesterday (Jo Tessem).

At last, some good news

There are a good many on here who seem to be experts in the field.

Think you're probably talking bollocks but there you go, seems to be a lot of it about at the moment.

Not true, Valery got in the Birmingham team straightaway, played 7 times for them, but they brought in Lee Bowyer and he was never included again, possibly because he criticised his new teammates, possibly just Bowyer not wanting him, anyway he was frozen out, not because he wasn't good enough.

Kane and Son didn't score, we obviously nullified that threat. 😉

Didn't realise that there are 3 less teams in PL2 this season, meaning Div 2 now only has 11 teams. Means 6 less league matches for the B team, which is not good for development. Important for the B team to get back to Div 1 playing against the best teams and playing more regularly. Burnley, Birmingham and Reading have all left.

Mings is clearly looking out at Villa, but I'm pretty sure that he would not consider Saints again, we fucked him off royally when Lowe released him.

Don't think we can bring on Lyanco.
