We had a few shots - some on target! (Green ones)

“Carabao” is an energy drink that was inspired by the fighting spirit of an individual. It is more than a global energy drink, it is the empowerment to accomplish personal goals. Carabao symbolizes the spirit of individuals who fight for the cause they believe in. Not by force, but with determination, hence the slogan: “ The Fighting Spirit of Carabao”

"Southampton may have won the transfer window, with their imaginative way of announcing Stuart Taylor's new one-year deal with the club." BBC website gossip column.

Failed one at Trabzonspor according to this: http://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/breaking-free-agent-defender-snubs-ac-milan-transfer-considers-m-39844

Pretty good feed - thanks for that!

You can see why!

But it's true - Saints were good but Chelsea were better. Money talks!

Who did Redmond bother the most yesterday, the Leicester defence or forum posters? Hmm...

Honest from Ranieri: "I'm very happy because Southampton deserved to win. They played better. We conceded too many chances to score a goal. "I recognise they played better than us. Fortunately we finished with a draw from the match."

There is wisdom beyond the norm for this board here. I have some Cardiff City ST holders as relatives and they are will tell of the potential dangers of having disconnected foreign investors as owners.

Perhaps we are going to rely on coaching the youngsters and bringing them on.

Indeed, this does not show a great commitment to our upcoming European campaign.

Whatever turns you on :-)

Heisenberg, you are still uncertain?

Yep, not Sterling's or City's best season - perhaps because Pellegrini knew he was off?

Nathan Redmond is young, has loads of potential and might be just the sort of player that Pellegrini would bring the best out of.

Oh, and he scored 118 goals for Spurs in six years.

Chivers - jam!

I wonder if he had total freedom at City in the last couple of seasons. His style previously seems to tick all the boxes of the Southampton Way - I would be chuffed to see him in charge at SMS.

Martin Chivers was quite jammy when he left

Shrewd purchase, great asset - glad he is going to be around for awhile.

Probably - I expect he's on most radar now he's put on a bit of weight.

"...the average tenure for a manager has now fallen to 1.31 years" (Guardian) So RK has been with us for longer than average. The Plan is in place, we get a big wedge in compensation, The Black Box replaces RK, we march on.

"The Saints are facing an exodus of players with midfielder Victor Wanyama and strikers Shane Long and Graziano Pelle set to follow Ronald Koeman out of St Mary's. (Sun)" And I thought these guys were here for the long haul.

"Ronald Koeman has a demanding style which is said to have rubbed some players up the wrong way" Good and tough titty (if true, of course).
