BBC Report: "Like his team, Elyounoussi - a £17m winger on loan from Southampton - began impressively then lost his way"
-
Decent result again the PL2 league leaders. Good reaction after the Everton drubbing.
-
Very sad news. Leon was a true supporter in every sense. Its doubtful that we would have a club in its current form were it not for him. His efforts for Ted's statue were top drawer.

Transfer window deadline - At a disadvantage with European clubs
VectisSaint replied to stevy777_x's topic in The Saints
The Premier League (and Championship) brought their Transfer window date forward exactly to ensure transfers would be completed before the end of the season, this was on the expectation that the other European FAs would follow suit, at least in closing the window before the start of their season (even if it was a week or so after us). But they didn't. So yes PL/Championship is at a disadvantage. As a result Pl?Championship are looking to move it back again next season. Shame, because it was the right thing to do, but it needs to be agreed across all (European) leagues to work. -
Part time clubs still train. Probably has some sessions back at Saints to supplement, but it's hardly a problem commuting between Southampton and Woking.

Alfie Jones scored for the Gills today.

Mings wasn't released be ause he was too small, that is just myth and nonsense. He was released following our Relegation from the Championship, the whole youth budget was reduced, some say axed, at the time of the takeover. Tyrone's father, Adie was a youth coach and he was let go as well, and it wasn't done in a particularly nice way, which soured the relationship with Saints, and means there was never any chance of us getting him back, even if we had wanted. Don't know all the ins and outs so can't say whether the blame lay with Lowe or Cortese but that's what happened. Mings came through the Bath satellite academy, he is a Chippenham lad (Adie was manager and DoF of the Bluebirds, and was Scout for Chelsea after he left Saints).

What are the odds on Paddy Power? Hope he really checks them out, they do have the ability to become the next basket case club. Really do hope he can get a decent job, he deserves it for being one of the most decent blokes out there, sadly these days that doesn't count for much.
-
The OP only asked us to rank the 8 LBs he listed. Whether or not others are better or worse than these 8 is completely immaterial. The only argument I would have with his list is for Danny Fox to be anywhere but last.
-
He really isn't. Well respected young fella, very level headed and has worked hard to overcome some difficulties in his young life. Round here you won't hear much said against him.
-
About 2 million times better than Savage or Lawro. Savage in particular is about as bad as it is possible to be, Lawro is just dull and crap.

Cedric Soares - Official: Loaned to Arsenal
VectisSaint replied to Saint Garrett's topic in The Saints
He didn't. He was left trying to defend against two by his fellow defenders who were hopelessly out of position (Bednarek I think). -
Jones and O'Connor both played full game for the Gills today, won 5-0 though it was against Bolton-12
-
Assume it was a 2nd yellow not a straight red.
-
Seems that Moi is having a medical somewhere in Europe (German?) (even though he was training yesterday).

Spurs Away - Train Ticket Trick using Basingstoke...?

Moi and Hoedt are definitely still traiing, they show up frequently in the training pics. No sign of Carillo or Lemina though as far as I can see.

Sparing a thought for Bury FC and its fans
VectisSaint replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Saints
Its not that simple at all. Of course they could have done it, but the problem with Bury has been corruption and mismanagement. Giving money to a corrupt/incompetent owner doesn't solve a problem. The problem has come about because the EFL allows any tom, **** or harry to take ownership of a club, its tests for ownership competency are a nonsense (the PL is no better of course). Giving handouts to the Bury FC Club under its current ownership would be crass stupidity. The EFL could perhaps have taken temporary ownership, maybe that was a way out, but they won't do that. In the end much of the problem that has arisen here comes back to the incompetence of the EFL. -

VectisSaint replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Saints
Bury's fixtures were suspended by the EFL. -
It's not back, they look very ordinary, very poor at the back, hit and miss up front. The team is made up of very average (for Man U) players with a small sprinkling of stars, Pogba is blowing hot and cold. Defence slow and leaky. Outside of Liverpool and Citeh, all the others are there for the taking at the moment.

Played 90 mins for last 4 games incl tonight. Playing LW, 2 assists, no goals, 1 yellow.

Adam's what? ?

Saints u23 v Scouse U23. Live tonight on OS, YouTube etc. @7pm
VectisSaint replied to Charlie Wayman's topic in The Saints
Do they? Man U not even in the top division, Man City and Scousers were bottom 2 before tonight. Admittedly they may do well in the International competition. Spurs, Chelsea and Arse I'll give you, but who are top 4 these days anyway? -
Hesketh and Flannigan join Burton Albion on loan
VectisSaint replied to SuperSAINT's topic in The Saints
Meant to add maybe he will appear at Forest Green next week.
