Reading this forum you come across a lot of animosity between posters and their different views on Southampton. This makes me wonder if you’ve ever been in a pub before a game; or maybe even at a game itself and fallen out badly with another Saints fan? Sitting in The Chapel I don’t really see much agro between fans, and in pubs beforehand I always seem to get on with fellow Saints fans. I’m interested if this is just an internet problem or if people do get annoyed by other fans opinions in “real life”.

At least we don't have to worry about Sharp being sharp anymore.

At the end of last year Townsend was the saviour of English football after a good game for England. I'm not sure why there is so much negativity on here regarding him? He seems to have more obvious attributes than Long for example.

No he won't.

No he won't.

Townsend would offer more than Ward-Prowse does to the team. Just saying....loving the look of Tadic.

I really hope you're right but think this season will be a struggle. A couple of injuries up front or even worse, in defence and we could be in trouble. Please keep up the optimism though to balance out miserable sods like me!

That will sound great when we're 3 down!

Are we saying that the squad we have now (minus Morgan, Callum and Jay) is good enough to keep us up? I think it might be just about. Don't think we can rely on new signings however much we spend on them (see Danni and Gaston). Please reassure me!

I love reading all the positive replies but...we are in trouble. Replacing all these players and gelling a team ready for August will be tough. Signing players with no Premiership experience is a gamble. I'm not sure even 50% can be counted successful? We will do well to stay up.

Think I'm going to cancel Sky Sports. I don't really want to watch our ex-players running around in another kit; hoping that they fail. That's not healthy is it? Also agree that all the money they pump in makes the game very unhealthy on England. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looked ok. Will be extremely worried if he's our first choice left back next season though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The board are having a nightmare. No sense in this one what so ever. Are we allowing every player who wants to leave to go? I'm going to bed now and hoping that when I wake up someone would have grown a pair of balls and learnt to say "NO!" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any chance of a signing today? It's two weeks since our last signing but nothing seems close at the moment. I think I'm a football junkie and a new player sorts me out for a week or so before I demand the next one! I should be enjoying the sun I suppose..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Forster is a definite. Also he said Morgan wouldn't leave us for Spurs but would probably go to Arsenal. He also thinks we're aiming for 12th this season. He also admired he had a thing for Jenny Agutter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alex Crook was on Talksport tonight discussing us. (Is he the one we hate?) He thinks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agree with most of this. However I think we'll be signing players up to the end of August. I think we need a left back before the season starts, but can afford to wait for the correct players in the other positions.

He could well be a new Stuart Downing; time will tell. He never set the 1st division alight, was good in The Championship and average in his first year in the Premiership. He was great last season though. He needs to stay fit as well, which he has found hard in the past. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would be pleased if we blew our money and finished 6th! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Think we are a long way from having the weakest squad in the league. We can still put out 11 good players. And we are Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's understandable that people are getting annoyed; it feels like each day brings a new kick to the balls (so to speak!). However I can't believe that Katharina is the one kicking us in the balls. Hopefully the outgoings will stop shortly, and then we will start seeing players coming in that excite people. Next season will be tough, but hopefully we will steer clear of a relegation battle and can move on again. We all need to stick together and stick two fingers up to the rest of the Premiership.

great! When will be announcing our new signings then? Hopefully this week? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When you sell your best players you never improve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why did we not sort out a replacement for him before selling him? We will be quoted stupid prices for everyone we go in for now until August. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
