Worth a read

Most unbelievable part of that story is that she's only the 13th worst modern Tory! Blatent sexism and/or racism putting her that low down the pecking order, although no denying it is a strong field of candidates...

He's withdrawn from the Ghana squad. Hopefully precautionary rather than a more serious injury

Sounds promising - he scored 1000 runs in div 2 last season. Can't see him being WK over Brown though so wonder how key that would be to him

Watchable on the website again as well

Nice thought but if he was available I'm sure PL clubs would be in for him. Due back from injury the end of this month I think

C'mon mate... Baz is doing well but saying he would be in the first team over two of our finest ever GKs just because he is better at distribution is ludicrous. As an recent example look at Man Utd. They released De Gea allegedly because his distribution wasn't good enough and bought in a replacement. Compare their defensive and overall record to last season and tell me that was a good move

Guess you missed the mini meltdown on here in the summer when we didn't sign him??

We're one of a number of clubs linked in the below article with a move for Brereton Diaz, who has done nothing at Villarreal https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/23911999.southampton-reportedly-among-clubs-keen-championship-ace-loan/ I've never watched him play but he had a great record at Blackburn so knows how to perform in this league

Whiteley departs! A cracking player on his day but he was pretty awful last season. Hopefully frees up some budget to improve the red ball squad https://www.ageasbowl.com/cricket/news/ross-whiteley-leaves-hampshire-to-rejoin-derbyshire/

This is a critical point for me. In recent years, with the notable exception of Watkins, the only strikers coming from the championship and scoring regularly in the PL are ones that come up with a team and play in a style they are already familiar with. Think Lambert for us or Toney for Brentford. If we have a striker who can do this for us it will be a huge piece of the quality we'd need to survive sorted. Of course we need to get promoted first !

2-1 winners today, but Sunderland won as well so still 3 points off top. Looks like our winner was a fluke too 😁

Hate to say it but don't think Baz would have saved that shot from sulemana

I missed the news that Turner has been awarded a development contract with England https://www.ageasbowl.com/cricket/news/hampshire-paceman-john-turner-awarded-england-development-contract/

Biggest concern I have is that we haven't won a single game at a canter as of yet. Even today we had a nervy 15mins after being 2 goals up and looking like we were cruising. With our quality we should be putting some of the poorer sides like Wednesday, Rotherham and Birmingham to the sword On the positive I've never known a saints team score so many late goals in games. If games were 80mins long we'd be in the bottom half!

Anybody go? Brief write up in the echo but no real detail. MLT was there as well, which the either decided to keep quiet or perhaps more likely he was a replacement for Monkou https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/23883364.pahars-makes-long-awaited-st-marys-return-will-attend-fixture/

I think I speak for everyone when I say #pleasepleasepleaseletthishappen

1-0 loss today sadly. We had a goal disallowed at 0-0. Leaves us in third - 3 points off top spot

Loving the tin foil hat accessory

2-1 win against Durham today. We missed a penalty as well

Back on track with a solid 2-0 win away at Watford! Most of the 2nd half we were down to 10 as well as Mott was sent off

Bad subs from Martin yesterday... why he kept Adams on and took off A Armstrong I don't know, but the really stupid one was taking off Sulemana before the game was dead and buried. That said, on another day we would have been 4-0 up by the point those subs were made

https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/23837387.hasenhuttl-explains-not-taken-new-management-job/ Hassenhuttl speaks! Interesting he states about not wanting to take a job until his desire is back, which is what I felt he was lacking for a good year before he left us

Plenty wanted him here... plenty didn't. Tbf, my main concern when he was linked was we shipped far too many goals, and his defensive record at Bournemouth was terrible, even with a great centre half like Ake. He studied and improved massively in his time off since Bournemouth and fair play to him.
