Cardiff missed a penalty at 2-0 as well. We were very comfortable and tbh Cardiff were poor. Ware POTM for me. Not sure if it’s been mentioned but travel coaches for the game against Wolves are only £5 for adults, £2.50 concessions and free for under 10s. Great gesture from Virgin Media as sponsors https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2022-04-29/ticket-and-travel-details-southampton-fc-vs-wolves-national-league-play-off-2021-22

It’s hilarious how obsessed he is with JWP joining Liverpool

Temp bans leading to full bans if they can’t sort themselves out for me. Tbh why should the mods have to police some of the childish bickering on here? Albeit like I say I get on fine by just using the ignore function

Without wishing to blame the mods, I can’t help but feel stricter moderation of these people (i.e. temporary bans) would help matters, albeit given these are paying members we’re talking about I guess there would be extreme reluctance to do this. in this forums favour the ignore function works very well!

Technically he is English (born in Leeds). He could have chosen to represent England, but as he’s said he never really considered it. Fair play to him for that, even if it’s a shitter for us.

Going very well so far! Bit miffed at Brown’s debut innings for us though. He came in with us needing 3-3.5 an over to get a final batting point, and proceeded to plod along at a strike rate of 0.29 so we fell 15 runs short! Still can’t complain too much. Hopefully there’s enough in the pitch to get 10 wickets for the win

I’ve noticed the Echo has really upped the amount of articles about Saints this week as a result of a new initiative they’ve launched called SaintsPlus, which is clearly an attempt to emulate the Athletic’s approach: https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/20028048.daily-echo-launches-saintsplus---new-home-next-level-saints-coverage/ Any feedback on the initiative so far? It would be good if we can have some quality reporting from a local source, but I guess the DE will need additional subscribers to maintain the coverage in the long term

https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/20035754.new-mccarthy-contract-confirmed-fa-agent-fees-report---southampton-low-spenders/ Sorta confims what we already sorta knew

Obama was heavily critical of NATO members not paying 2% of GDP for defence as well tbf. Not sure about earlier presidents but suspect they would have criticised it as well. It’s something all NATO members agreed too but very few actually met

Cup final against Huddersfield is at Damson Park in Solihull apparently! Sunday 24th April. Bit of a trek but equidistant for Udd’s as well so can’t be helped I suppose

Tbf to him he’s paid to write articles for a subscription service. His employers probably wouldn’t be too enamoured if he gave all his info away for free on here

Unchanged team please. Rest players at the weekend if needed - not tonight!

What should Saints do if they get a big offer for Tino in the summer? Say £60mish, which I know is high but Man U paid £50m for AWB so possible imo. If he keeps progressing as he has it’d likely be a no brainier for Chelski to buy him back in 18 months, even if just as a squad played behind James. Is having him for another season worth potentially losing £20m in sales that could be reinvested? Esp given with have KWP already? Of course he may refuse to go back to Chelski or pick another club, but I would wager he’d want to go back and prove himself there over most other teams that may buy him.

Could be a brilliant signing tbf. Averages over 40 with the bat throughout his career and over 50 last season. Are batting has been shite for years so hopefully he’ll help us immensely on that front

Probably not what you’re looking for but you can stream the Xbox version of fm20 and play on any spec pc via game pass, assuming your internet is good enough (10mbs or so)

Only player I can think who played for both in recent times in Michael Lumb... Any others?

I’d almost forgotten about that game. It’s rare I get angry at football anymore, but that game was definitely one of those occasions!

I dunno mate… I seem to recall we got taken over by a billionaire when we were in the lower leagues and in administration

This feature has always been there for me as well. What’s more interesting is that two of the most prolific posters on here seem to have discovered it at exactly the same time…

Devastating... RIP Greg

Mural looks amazing 😍 well done Saints & Hummel

Ha! Fair enough everyone, the replay I saw looked off but if I’m wrong so be it! People here are sensitive though

Is it just me or was McCarthy standing no where near the centre of the goal for Jimenez’ winner today? He basically gave him an open goal today!

More gutting that Warks got to 350 from 320ish for 9… apparently they needed 11 off an over to get the extra batting point and got them. The batter? Danny Briggs!

Looks like we may see Livramento at winger at some point. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/19588036.ralph-hasenhuttl-says-tino-livramento-play-winger/ It would be great if we can get both him and KWP in the same side. Two of our best players
