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.

Takowski and Cody that's a really strong pair at the back, how we could do with just one of those.

It’s not 10 bad games though is it. We’ve been hammered in 6 out of the last 14 by 3 or more goals, we’ve conceded two or more in all but two of those games. It’s not just a run where we’ve been a bit unlucky we’ve been abysmal. We were crap at the end of the season before last as well. The truth is he’s had two very good spells in 4 years and the rest of the time we’ve been average or utter crap. Most concerning of all is the same issues over and over again. Weird line ups, weird tactics, so easy to play against, weak mentality, crap defending, throwing away points from winning positions. We’ve needed a leader at the back for years and he’s not addressed it. Same things over and over again. I’ve been a supporter of Ralph but I think his time is coming to an end

Don’t worry all there is a fans forum in two days where we can expect all the secrets to be revealed

i can believe the 6 games thing but i cant believe that his number 2 is waiting in the background to jump into his grave. Surely if that's the agreement then its just delaying the inevitable.

and we paid a similar fee for Armstrong off the back of a 28 goal season and he's done worse, like I said no guarentees. Adams scored 9 the season before last and 7 last season, 6-10 goals is about what you'd expect for a £15m striker, there will be some who do better and plenty that do worse. If you seriously think we're going to spend £15m and find the next Alan Shearer then i'm afraid your highly likely to be disappointed.

maybe he has but there are no guarentees. As for Everton being linked, you do know they finished below us last season.

Or maybe we'd get someone who scores less? Like Patson Daka, Eduard, Ineancho, Werner or even Armando Broja........

Any back 5 with a crap right footed winger at left wing back and Valery at centre back is a recipe for disaster.

a right footed winger at left back, a crap right back at centre back, a non scoring striker as out only forward when that doesn't work play two midfielders up front, they wont score either.

Eon - got to be the worst customer service i've ever come across. Moved into a new build 4 months ago, they are the supplier to the estate we have moved too been trying to get a bill out of them or make contact with the right department for months and keep being passed around to various people and departments none of which is the right one. Useless.

Amongst those players were Djenepo and Bednarek both of which started on saturday. A Armstrong also linked with a move away and he started as well. Walcott has a mysterious injury which our players seem to get from time to time. Strange situation.
