exactly. Much like a league one player that can occasionally raise his game for a big cup tie, when Stephens comes back into the side he generally does okay for the first couple of games but then quickly reverts to type, he's done this over and over again throughout his career.

Bella-Kotchap might turn out to be the new Ferdinand but more chance he won’t so as things stand how many of those 7 get in another premier league team? Salisu so some of the bottom half ones probably that’s it. Shocking really

Months? Years mate. We’ve been in the worst 4 defences in the premier league for the last 3 season. Weve for 7 centre halves in the first team squad and one decent one who hasn’t had a good game since March. What a shambles.

Course he’s happy here he’s earning way above his ability level and has just signed another deal to set him up for life.

We should rename ourselves Serbia Leisure Holdings and the club emblem changed from a halo stickman to a bloke with slick back hair in slim fit shirt with rolled up sleeves

It’s not saints related but a good watch.

Ralphs legacy

Probably sees himself as a Patrick Swayze character in Roadhouse.

And everyone blamed Puel for being negative 🤦

According to Illingworth on TUi he’s the former commander in the MET and stadium manager at Millwall. I guess that’s how bad things are

What about the threats to remove/refuse entry to fans if they don’t bring ID with them? I don’t think it’s even a legal requirement to carry ID. I know ad a private entry they can request this but what grounds do they have for demanding it and refusing entry if they don’t have it? Club is run by a bunch of wankers. Most of the issues are caused away fans in the corporate boxes, anyone going to challenge that?

Just watch 3000 Leeds fans stand for the entire game and they wade in and eject a few saints doing it. I remember when they tried this in the early days of St Marys and all it did was cause more problems than it would have solved. Half of the problems in the Itchen north are due to away fans in the corporate boxes, get rid of that and the problem goes away, but they wont because that would cost them money, which we all know is all they care about.

Southampton FC could build wall to separate fans at St Mary's | Daily Echo they are.....

Rachel Daly joins Villa, great signing for them

Attack being the best form of defence is alright as well as long as we have defenders who can defend when they need to do their jobs.

You should have made that clear, you quoted both posts but were only actually replying to one, this makes no sense.

and you quoted someone else who said Ball and Le Tissier never played in the same team, so how could Ballball be to give it to Le Tissier? Your post is deeply flawed.

Matthew Le Tisser nave played a first team game when Ball was a saints player.

He just needs to make us hard to beat FFS. We've conceded 67, 68 & 60 goals in his 3 full season. Consistently in the worst 3-4 defences in the league, It's much easier and cheaper to make us more solid with a good pair good centre back and concede 15-20 goals less a season than trying to find a 15-20 a season goalscorer who we can afford and would come here.

SOmeone should ask why they have made it a requirement for fans in block 1 and 2 to carry id. They should also ask given that they have written to home fans to remain seated during games, even ejecting saints fans at the friendlies, presumably they will be applying the same rules to away fans given they have warned fans that standing will result in ejection, a ban and further action from the police.

for those of you interested in youth/B teams One Shot - The football factory documentry on Sky is a very good watch. Not Saints related but it follow a group of South London lads trying to make it in pro football. Not Saints related but a good watch.

Terrible really isnt it. 7 centre backs and the only decent one hasn't had a good game in 5 months. Are they all shite or is it how they are coached and set up?

a 27 year old with 35 caps for a top nation, champions league and premier league experience available for nothing. Nah you're alright, give me £10m for a kid and lets hope they come good.

Yep, going to struggle for goals until Calvert Lewin comes back unless they bring someone. Looks like Gueyne is going back there and Onana coming in from Lille so that's a really decent spine, they'll be tough to beat.

Please explain.
