Ceylon is an option😎

At least when the UK is forced to enter into some sort of defensive military action in the future, there will be thousands of young bucks willing to volunteer to transfer their pent up aggression to defend this green and pleasant land against nasty foreigners.

It wont happen overnight. As far as I understand the current Aggregate Companies and others holding the Freehold or Leasehold Properties along the waterfront will need to be 'persuaded' to relocate. This could either mean that their Leases are bought out or the Council are able and prepared to Compulsory Purchase the land. Presuming the Aggregate Companies want to remain in the Southampton area ie relatively close to their Agreements with the Crown Estate to dredge for material in the English Channel, there would need to be a suitable option to store the material. This is why ABP are involved in discussions. I guess there could also be opportunities for the club within the adjacent Central Trading Estate with the land likely to be owned by the Council. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the empty site which burned down prior to the Preston game a couple of years ago.

Does he stock those baseball caps with the peak at the back? I'd pay a bit extra to gain a bit of street cred😎

Bring back Sir Stanley Rous as head of FIFA!!

Useful info. I wonder how much benefit Dragan is expecting longer term from possible development of the Itchen quayside opposite the stadium. The club is in regular dialogue with Southampton City Council, ABP and presumably the leaseholders and land owners of the Aggregate Wharves to relocate them to a more suitable location and allow gentrification of this side of the River Itchen.

I think, for many people, Cam Bragg exceeded expectations last season. In some respects he has the same attributes as JWP. Came up through the ranks, an intelligent individual, trains hard and willing to learn. Like JWP he also not the quickest and hopefully will be able to add a more physical side to his game. Hopefully he will add goalscoring to his repertoire too. Best of luck to the lad. I hope he becomes a regular in the side.

I wonder how many Third World savages were signed by Saints under Rupert's time as Chairman?

In my humble opinion JWP was better than many on here give him credit for. He was an accurate passer and crosser of the ball and turned into more of a midfield ball winner later in his career. He hardly missed a game as far as I can recollect. He was never the quickest of players but always put in a shift. Perhaps his age and wages would act against him but I wouldnt dismiss him out of hand.

THB's tailor needs sacking unless THB couldnt be bothered shortening the arm length of the suit he bought from Moss Bros. Wearing plimsolls to his wedding is definitely improper. In his defence his new wife is a corker and he is/was a rock in our back line and will continue this form into married life!!

I am disappointed regarding the news from Ross Stewart. At least we have our ace American striker returning from loan at Hamburg!!!!!!!!!

Just finished listening to Dragan's interview with Adam Blackmore. Very encouraged by Dragan's response and makes me 100% committed to the club for yet another year. UTFS!!!

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect Perez to sign. £7m is a lot of money for a 'keeper in the Championship. He came across very well in his interview on the club website too.

Archer has never justified his relatively high transfer cost, in my opinion. Having said that, I reckon that if he was playing in League One, he would likely be one of the top scorers.

When we (hopefully!!) beat Boro at SMS next season the song by Jamo Thomas..'I Spy For The FBI' should be played at full volume.

I was ski-ing in Italy and received the news on a ski lift from a couple of Watford fans that Kevin Keegan had signed for Saints. I thought it was a wind up until I was able to get hold of a Daily Mail the following day (no mobile phones in those days) What a player!! If we had been able to get hold of Peter Shilton a year earlier, I reckon we could have won the League and/or FA Cup.

I will probably watch a few games to witness (hopefully) the poor attendances, thanks to all the things going on in the Good Old US of A. I really do tip my hat to all those from this country who are spending shed loads of money following England and Scotland to no avail. FIFA and the DJT cult have a lot to answer for.

Just the think, JF agreed to move from a Championship club to League One Saints, albeit as a consequence of a £1m transfer fee.

Or if his older brother had succumbed to drink

Not sure he would be a nobody, probably now in jail or bumped off by some guy/s he had frauded. Ironically he was led towards his way of life/doing business by Roy Cohn who was a homosexual who, apparently, had a 'thing' about Trump.

Goes right to the crux of the matter and fully represents the deep disappointment felt by all Saints supporters, many of whom will either give up going to St Marys or forgo following the Saints away from home. Those of us who blindly continue watching the team will carry the scars of the event for years to come and the Commercial team at St Marys will have a hell of a job promoting the club to sponsors. Likewise trying to convince new players to come here will be a challenge probably only overcome by offering larger payments within a restricted operating budget. I still firmly believe that the punishment did not fit the crime but we have to live with life's realities.

I am staying in a darkened room for the forseeable future having dreamed that Saints have been denied the opportunity to contest the Championship Play Off after one of their Green Party associates had been spotted exploring the Flora & Fauna on Teeside.

No way will Perez be here next season. He will have a queue of clubs both here and in Germany willing to pay decent money both in transfer and wages to sign him up. I put him in the same category as Shilton and Niemi in all the time I have watched Saints. He will be sorely missed.

Being a Saints fan for many, many years, I have experienced quite a few ups and downs. The downs have generally dominated but only served to make the occasional ups even more enjoyable. Playing so well at the end of the season, beating Fulham and Arsenal and going toe to toe with Man City in front of a magnificent band of supporters, looking forward to another shot at the Premier League at Wembley on Saturday and gaining the respect of a lot of neutrals, made me extra proud to be a Saints fan. I also thought that with a few new players, we could replicate Sunderland and Leeds performances in the Prem. Having reached that level of pride and expectation, it came as a massive shock to tumble back down to a feeling of despair, allied to a sense of aggrievement that the punishment did in no way fit the 'crime'. As someone on this forum has said, it is like parking your car on a double yellow line, paying the fine, and then losing your driving licence for a year or two. Like many on here I went through the turmoil of the Branfoot and Rupert Lowe eras and the club eventually moved forward. These things take time and I am at an age when I dont expect the good times to return in my lifetime. I sincerely hope the younger supporters do have the opportunity to once again experience the joy of feeling on top of the world supporting the Saints. I will renew my season ticket next year but expect to see quite a few empty seats as a consequence of this affair.

But Leicester had the glow of a Premier League title as has Blackburn who's fans have been up in arms about their Chicken Farm owner for some time. Throw Sheff Weds in the mix too.
