Typical post international rubbish based on stories picked up from tipsy and lazy journos getting snippets they hear all wrong.

I think Mane doesn't understand the lack of support at the end by his colleagues. Have to say he's got one hell of a fit body.Got me really excited ..............lol

The team that faced Stoke wouldn't have conceded so fast. Why the **** does Koeman never play a winning team. Fonte isn't the player he was.

Just the thing that the Club needs this Ides of March. Perhaps it'll ward of the bad omens that befall us at this time of the year. Maybe Cortese will be canonized in years to come the way things are panning out.

TIS' THAT TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN SAINTS CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST "BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH"

For myself the constant back passing when we should be trying to break thru. It sickens me time after time. Not even a Fernandes crop circle, a tactic we should take a look at re-introducing. Losing Puncheon was a huge loss in that he knew how to break thru and create goals and chances.

Really dismal performance and a selection of Pelle, Tadic, and continuing to keep them after half time was disgraceful. They were pathetic. At least Martina out in some decent effort for a player who hasn't played for ages The likes of LVG and Pochettino would have had the guts to give the youngsters a go. They couldn't have done any worse. There is something very wrong. In Koeman's game plan and choice of players. I don't think I can take much more games of such pathetic play as recently.

Pelle seems to be brain dead. No reaction when the ball comes his way. Training indoors inside the Dome seems to have had bad effect on our players form.

What do you expect when he greases his arse with Nivea. Definitely doesn't slide in easier. Slippery arsed traitor

On today's display Austin isn't even worth half what we played for him. Absolute crap and only a fraction better than Pelle has been

Seems this is the last piece in the jigsaw before announcements of comings out in football http://www.buzzfeed.com/patrickstrudwick/adidas-tells-sport-stars-we-wont-fire-you-if-you-come-out?utm_term=.pdne5xAX2#.ia5YBX8ov

What indeed is the perfect Karma tonight is that not one of the defectors to Scumhampton are in their team or on the bench tonight. I remind you that's Lambert, Lallana, Lovren, Clyne.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM Scored a goal too in injury time. Well done Super Sam. ♥

It's Targett that's injured will be gutted if Maya plays at left back. WTF's wrong with Cuco Martina. Would love to see him on the left and Soares on the right. Maybe he and Bertrand don't see eye to eye.

Having been one of his biggest critics for a long while, this is an award he really deserves. The turn=around over the past few weeks has been really incredible. Long may it continue, but worry the return of Pelle (and getting unjustified selection) may wreak everything.

We are in a dire situation where the Under 21's. the Under 18's are concerned. I don't know just how long before the Board. Les Reid do something. Those coaching are just not succeeding and we need to bring in coaches with a history of links to the club if we are to continue as one of the leading Academies. former Saints players, managers with good coaching reputations are there, just I feel we are penny pinching and don't want to offer top salaries to get the right people on board. Nice that Saint Charlie's finally come around to seeing that my warnings 2 seasons ago actually meant something. You may recall you told us results of Under 21's etc mean nothing.

Once again, instead of Glory, Glory how's about this one Charlie Austin. scores a goal in every game Charlie, Charlie scores a goal in every game Charlie Austin scores a goal in every game And the Saints go marching in

Instead of Glory, Glory how's about Charlie, Charlie, Charlie Austin. Charlie, Charlie, Charlie Austin Charlie, Charlie, Charlie Austin. And the Saints go marchin'in

Came across this video on Facebook today and find it throws up all the issues that the football world faces where coming out publicly poses huge issues for some guys in the game.

Even I forgot this singing of Glory Glory by Saints fans in honor of Markus.

Saints supporters used to sing " Glory, glory we're Southampton. Glory, glory we're Southampton. Glory, glory we're Southampton. And the Saints go marchin'in.." This then broke into " When the Saints" Don't know when and why we stopped singing Glory, Glory. Always thought we did a great rendition and spiced up OWTS.

Charlie himself is a good singer as was heard last night on the Sports Bar when he sang "Stand by Me" with Goldstein and Cundy joining on the chorus. Looks promising with Charlie and Shane Long teaming up to sing together. http://talksport.com/football/charlie-austin-sings-southampton-initiation-song-stand-me-live-talksport-160126182584

If we can get a decent sum for Pelle we should grab it with both hands. 18 months left on his contract which leaves him at an age of 32 coming on 33 where his value will only fall rapidly.

Watson is certainly well thought of by the entire squad. This is often seen during online matches where players are often seen receiving a tap on the butt from Watson as he sends them onto play or receives players coming off. The observation is not my own but that of various commentators.
