JRM

Yeah he's a good lad, very humble, been through some tough times in his career, really hope it goes well and he can become a top flight regular

He's not played for so long he needs to go on loan to prove himself, terrible bit of business

If he's coming from Bremen I'm pretty sure it will be a case of Becks

Got to be worth £40M surely in modern market

At least the season starting on 17th August there's nor long before end of the window, nothing could be worse than the panic buys we made deadline day Jan 2023 , they must have learnt from that

He was good for us previously, I liked him, had a really bad injury since and struggled, would be better as a loan with option to buy

What odds on JWP scoring a free kick for West Ham at St Mary's to beat Beckhams record before running in front of the Northam wall doing a golf swing?

Understand he'll be one of the highest paid in the league. Ipswich definitely placing a big bet on him succeeding, fair play to them, we owe them next season should never have lost twice.

Haven't Saints said safe standing is already sold out?

I use a season ticket for 50% of games so will be transferring it back and forth all season so hope its a smooth process. Also know a Saints fan in early 70s who genuinely doesn't own a smartphone, they'll have to offer something which I'm sure they will, just won't advertise it.

Can you imagine getting the Skates at home in the cup, would certainly wake the old boys up in Kingsland Centre , would be like a scene from Dad's Army in block 31

I liked him but he certainly didn't have the impact I thought he would when he signed. His goal at Birmingham away was a cracker and he showed signs of the quality he has , just not regularly enough. It will feel weird next season if we come up against the likes of Brooks, Adams playing against us

I expect this may be one of the reasons the club were allowed / encouraged to change the access route for away fans at St Mary's https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/24350849.plans-380-homes-former-gasworks-southampton-set-approval/?ref=rss&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

This development is quite interesting in the context of land around the stadium and I think could also be relevant in the decision to move away fans away from what could soon become a building site https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/24350849.plans-380-homes-former-gasworks-southampton-set-approval/?ref=rss&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

And often the best available deals aren't done until the last week pending other deals to go through before those players are made available for loan. Wilcox might do Martin a favour and send a Man Utd top prospect our way

Would be massively helpful to us if Leicester are given a chunky deduction, 12 points should do, they can take a relegation spot, Ipswich must be due to drop off soon they can take another one

Could be worth another loan if possible, lots to decide first on players actually contracted to us like Alcaraz , we didn't really miss him in the end, he'll want a go in the prem again though

Only thing that would make it worse is 1885 group unveiling a welcome home banner

For me he'd be the perfect signing to get "the wall" going, imagine 6000 packed in the Northam end swaying, hands in the air, he plays on the left , he plays on the riiight, Adam Lallana makes Messi look (is Messi retired now?)

Taking 3100 to Sheffield Wednesday on a Friday night first game of the season really set the scene for the season, fans were really up for it, then selling out at Gillingham a few days later, excellent numbers home and away all season the 5500 to Liverpool midweek still surprises me we struggled to take half that in the league usually

The initial bounce was good but the relentless loud music annoyed me after a while, manufactured atmosphere taking away what should have been time for the fans to sing actual saints songs

Agree , most of the lower tier looked good, the atmosphere wasn't actually that great in large parts of the upper tier during the game, around me many just sat spectating in silence. Came to life at the end but was a shame didn't show a bit more life during the 90 mins . I doubt we'll have another home game like WBA for quite a while. Higher prices certainly won't help

When's Leicester's points deduction hearing going to be?

Yeah the squad stayed until just gone 5, few players kept reappearing on stage every now and then, we saw the team coach again down at ocean Village so assume they'd gone to carry on the party somewhere down there. Good to see you mate 👍

Personal commitment they said, but Parsons did confirm he was our player. Aribo was also at a wedding so unable to attend. was a bit cringey when they said it was Parsons idea for the close advertising boards against WBA and fans sang Parsons he's one of our own 🤦🏻‍♂️ probably in the same week he puts up season ticket prices to fleece our fans of their hard earned cash.
