Turkish

No win for the government for anything. Whatever they do someone somewhere is criticising them or trying to score cheap political points. I see Piers Morgan was at it again this morning trying to twist the words of a minister who said part of the reason the UK has been hit so badly is we have an aging and obese population.

Who was it he outpaced on saturday to win the ball back in the left back position? It was one of Arsenals quicker players, Pepe maybe? didnt realise he had that in his locker. What a find he's been for that money, just goes to show they are out there. Personally i'm happy with returned to the model of buying players, developing them and selling them to big clubs for a profit. Some of our more special fans need to realise that this is how it needs to be for us to have any chance of relative success. Obviously this relies on scouting being spot on and getting a few through the academy too and we still need to have that balance of a few more senior players who have been here a while and get saints even if they're not the best but i think with Romeu, Long, Bertrand, Stephens, JWP we've got that right now.

Tuchel been manager of Dortmund and PSG, soo to be Chelsea and to think Les once thought he was going to come to Saints. 🤣

Hassennhuttl is all wrong for them. Surely top contenders have to be.... Chris Houghton Paul Ince Darren Moore Nuno Espirito Santo Ledley King Sol Campbell and if they want a guy called Hassel then Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank is ex chelsea and great pedigree as a manager in this country

Not really. Either it’s “deeply flawed” or it isn’t. You said that, no one else. By saying it does go on, but you think it’s daft, it appears that you’ve changed your mind about it being “deeply flawed” and that agents do put articles in the media and it does influence things As you said it goes on but you think it’s daft. it’s okay to change your mind about things Matthew.

Definitely not mate. I’ve posted on here as Turkish for years. Going way back I was Paul Allen. Wasn’t it saint Stevo that used to go on about American all the time which led to some very funny pictures of him on the b-anter forum?

So when you said “it was deeply flawed, why would semmens let an evening standard article influence a business decision” what you meant was CEOs do let evening standard articles influence business decisions, but in your opinion it’s daft to do that, so not actually deeply flawed then, yes?

Were you last in Bean bag race or the egg and spoon pal?

You have to remember a lot of people who post on here these days will be from a generation who get medals for coming last at sports day. When they get into the workplace rather than starting at the bottom and having to work their way up, so shut up and get on with your job they get told they are the leaders of the future and flowers that need to be watered. So anything other then telling him great they are, how they can be anything they want to be is an alien concept to them.

Sometimes a bit of tough love is needed my friend.

There isn’t any possibly about it. Stop and think about what you’ve just said. A club Has a legal agreement with a player to sell him for a fixed preagreed fee, they have to accept a fee of let’s say £20m. So why would there be a bidding war when every bid for £20m has to be accepted? Saints still have to accept the £20m bid even if other clubs bid £100m.

To the tune of I am the music man i am Southampton man, I come from over seas and I can play, where do you play? I play midfield dia dia Diallo, diallo, dia dia diallo, diallo, diallo

A Kasabian tribute act?

Deserved win. In hindsight although they were on top for last 30 mins they never really gave Forster much to do. Hard earned but good win. Wolves won’t be easy but beatable. Hopefully we’ll have a few back by then.

This still haughts me

Cedrics crossing hasn’t improved then

This offside rule does my head in, just out the flag up when they’re off ffs.

What we don’t want to do now is concede a goal

Nearly did what we did to Liverpool

Lots of ITK I can’t say much but..... posts from self appointed leaders of fans groups. Power struggles between the various high profile wannabe fan on the boarders, Super fans desperate to out do each other. It’s been like this Since about 2002 when the old saints forever got overrun with excitable morons with their seating plans, endless threads about what songs they were going to sing, what name they were going to get in their shirt and whose got a ticket for *insert name of upcoming opponent*. Probably the highlight for me was getting a threatening PM from one of Steve grants geeky female mates Who looked like a librarian threatening to make my life hell if I didn’t stop bullying him.

That’s the bit I find odd too. He was fit enough to be on the bench half a dozen time but no b game time at all and now injured again is very strange

I think that's a tactic, he never did it that much under Hughes and Theo does it, they both do it a lot. Get the ball and drive forward up the pitch, if it comes off great if not it draws free kicks or we press high up the pitch to win the ball back early.

People seemed to become bitter when WIlde adopted him as a kind of unofficial voice of the fans. Before the 2003 cup final when it became overrun with bellends that forum was good. Although Saintsfun/b-anter reigns supreme on that score. He is a good guy, think he does quite a lot with a local football team now.

First poster to ever do this? Covid has achieved something.

Surprised Stu Romsey Saint hasn't come up yet, he used to really get under a lot of peoples skin on here.
