And you mentioning it #triggered

You’re right actually. I saw the Everton game on his debut and he looked a handful, took his goal well. But bes really regressed I’m sure in part down to our strikers being stoppers rather than attackers. I’m not sure if he’ll get back to his Blackburn form, how many players are out of form for a couple of years and then suddenly burst back. Be interesting for sure

Why are we paying McCarthy £80k a week to sit on his arse for all but the last 3 games? Why do we keep picking Elyanoussi? Club is a basket case, dont rule any madness out.

he'd struggle to score less.

Adam Armstrong has committed his future to us

that's worth £400k to us in prize money.

The 2nd reply was at White Hart Lane wasn't it? My dad always used to talk about that, Southampton emptied for the day, loads of buses going up form the city, companies, factories and so on putting on coaches for their staff. White Hart Lane was about 80% saints fans. How different from todays nonsense.

I think you’re underestimating what a mess we are in. Although I’m no fan of Semmens and some of the current lot we are losing or have lost pretty much everyone in a leadership role in the club. The scouting team are useless and needs a complete overhaul, we will have a huge turnover of players and we need to bring in a manager capable of rebuilding the team who have been used to losing every week. No club goes into a season hoping not to be promoted I’m sure it is a priority but there is a huge amount of work to be done this summer therefore promotion next season is going to be a huge bonus rather than an expectation, I’m seeing next season as a rebuild before making a big push the year after

Certainly ticks the young and upcoming box

im not sure it is. IMO promotion will be a bonus. The club is a mess. We'll be left with a handful of half decent players then a load of kids or ones that are crap. No manager, everyone behind the scenes leaving, a scouting system that needs ripping up and starting again, a losing mentality where players and fans expect us to lose every week now. Whoever comes in has got to turn all that around first before evening thinking about promotion. As things stand we are more likely to do a Stoke than a Burnley, there is a huge overhaul needed from top to bottom, then we might be able to start planning for promotion.

that was 8 years ago today.

Shit HGV drivers though, they'd be turning the steering wheel so fast they wouldnt be able to keep up on the brakes and pedals and flip the lorry.

It'd be worth getting Scott Parker for the obvious "Parker Pens Saints Deal" headline when he joins.

Why were you wearing a saints shirt to do a tour of the Nou Camp?

Well we've certainly got plenty of them, on and off the pitch

He clearly had talent though. Remember that villa game

Probably won’t make a lot of peoples top memories but this was a great performance IMO. 3 great goals especially the third, we played some great stuff that day, excellent support in the away end and was probably the moment I thought we were going places in the premier league. We had arrived as a force.

he was the hipsters favourite a few years ago, took Hull down, mugged off Watford, got given the boot at Everton. He's had 7 jobs and only lasted more than a 18 months in two of them which includes this one.

my thoughts

Says the bloke that believes there is currently a war going on in the Ukraine

Good call that, unemployed as well so would have been well up on Les Reeds secret file of managers we've been tracking for a while that always seem to be unemployed at the time we need one.

Agreed. A tough run of fixtures plus a lot of injuries put them on their bad run. He attracted some good players there as well. Would be as good as we can hope for IMO.

Surprised no one has mentioned Emma Hayes. 5 WSLs and 5 FA Cups, FIFA coach of the year in 2021. Might be a bit out of our reach but a winner with a proven track record and experience. Now she’s over her hysterectomy she might be up for a new challenge

Did they come out with some shite about Jones teams were one of the best statistically at defending the line from dead balls and that was an area we struggled with. Also building a spirit in the dressing room. so yeah metrics

Quite fitting that he’ll spend his last few months out with a mystery injury as he spent his first few months out with one as well…..
