Spun!

Koeman starts tomorrow. Not a moment too soon.

This is actually my betting technique. -
And hopefully refit the whole shop. Its a Point of Sale nightmare. Too much room given over to car stickers and postcards, no flow to the place. How can we take our club seriously when the Megastore is anything less than Mega!? That Fulham kit is nice. But are they literally playing 'in black and white' next season? Is that an austerity thing or just a nod to the Victorian charm of Craven Cottage?

I have to disagree. It's a fabulous haircut. Matched by an equally fabulous eighties style top lip gangster tache. The lad has style.

Rats leaving a sinking ship? Five Year Plan, or 'The Project', ended. All the main players are now gone: Pardew; Marcus; Adkins; Cortese; Pochettino; Lambert; Guly and soon Lallana. I guess, in any job, when it becomes clear an era is over a lot of people move on. In the real world it happens over several months and years until eventually the staff has completely turned over. In football, with its attachment to 'success' (tsk!) and limited transfer windows this process is accelerated. Now there is a new plan. It involves a steadying of the ship before plotting a new course. Let's see who's still on deck come Sept. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

And along with Koeman. Also highly regarded. Credit must surely go to the combination of Krueger and Reed for securing such high profile and respected senior staff? It remains to be seen if its echoed with player acquisitions and development, of course. But it looks positive to me.

I'm not saying the Witsel thing is true. But possible reasons for wanting out include the bad blood between higher paid foreigners and Russian players, racism from fans (home too), it's cold. No, really cold. I suspect he will leave Russia after the world cup, and probably to the prem (he issued a 'come and get me plea' late last year) but I very much doubt for us! I suspect Hulk will also leave Zenit. Both for 'cut price fees: too I would think (ie still stupid money but less than Zenit paid). Wages always gonna be the issue with teams outside the top four/CL now. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

Booo! Knew it was too good to be true, Mainly as it would also mean spending the bulk of the 37-55m (whatever it is) on one player! Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

Alex Witsel?! Seriously ? I would call that a marquee signing and statement of intent. By then again (like a lot of us that fancy ourselves as being 'really into the game, rara'), I have had an indecent love-in for the Belgium squad for a while now. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

We are five years into a five year plan. The primary goal of which was to leave saints in the top half of the top division and able to survive 'within our means' as dictated by the rules governing the game. That has been, to all our joy, amazement and gratitude, achieved. We do have to sell (players, tickets, shirts) in order to fulfil the goals of that plan. Part of the plan was to have our own way of generating cash from player sales by the development of decent young players. This was never hidden and was always part of the plan. Or 'Project'. I am failing to see where anyone really has a problem with this and also failing to see any point to all these insider rumours and gossip. Was Lovren really sold a longer term plan by NC and MP? Hmmm. When everyone else knew we already ahead of the plan and it had just a year left to run? Hey maybe, I dunno. Just seems the club did absolutely everything it promised. With the failure to 'get into Europe' of course. Next plan next. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

'Titanic leaves Southampton' 'Saints interested in Carpathia'

However, we must remember it was later rediscovered and became a legend. Earning it's new employers hundreds of millions of dollars along the way. If only there were a sell-on clause, James Cameron would owe Southampton big time.

A very good question. Although I wonder how Arsenal feel about not exercising such a clause and letting Febregas go to Chelsea?

aha! But I fondly remember the extra revenue in shirt sales. Happy days. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

Great word that. Although surely it should be Americanizing? ;-)

Can you utter fools stop using the word 'rape' to talk about football transfers. It makes my skin crawl to read it and makes you look stupid and heartless. I know it is technically correct but really. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

This WOULD be a dagger. Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

Having only ever met the man briefly*, I'd say 'muddled' is as apt a description as any. Not the most flattering description, but hey, lets be honest. Quite sweet and a very nice guy, a decent bro, but a little shy and, yeah, muddled. *This was before the England call up, of course. After which, I understand, he turned into a Machiavellian mastermind! ;-) Aha. still sent from my effing nexus 4, but I have found the setting now dammit.

[Daily Mail] Saints make formal enquiry to sign Danny Ings
Polaroid Saint replied to Matthew Le God's topic in The Saints
Sounds like the perfect fit in every respect. Quite keen to see if Oswaldo is invited back into the squad or not too FF. You never know; after all he was bought as Lambert replacement in the first place! Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk -
To compliment the Southampton Way I hear we are opening a new training facility in northern Iraq, near the Turkish boarder; The Southampton Kurds.

Always wanted a dash cam, as I feel sure I am missing loads of meteorites exploding in the sky and elk bouncing off truck bonnets and the like. Doing lots of traveling this summer up and down the country... ...if you still need a tester.
