All right iffy start. It would be enough to get the bedwetters going here.

Nonsense Burnley had a dreadful start last season.

Who’s to say we aren’t after another goal scorer ? If all of us see we lack a cutting edge. I suspect Martin, Mowbray and Wilcox do as well.

That’s just what I was thinking.

Apparently if you went on the Reading app you could watch it for a quid 😂

When I spent a fiver on the Reading game it said the video pass was valid until the 26th so presumably including the Bournemouth game. Just scoured my account nowhere does it mention my video pass and is trying to charge me for another pass for tomorrow

Leicester going to Thailand to play Spurs today. I mean seriously WTF. One more friendly before the season starts.

This I guess https://www.footballfancast.com/southampton-joel-piroe-championship-gossip-adams-transfer/ interesting but does seem like a guesswork / clickbait article.

We aren’t worried about the money. When we needed to buy players in case we lost them Dragan put his hand in his pocket. I suspect we want to keep the bigger clubs guessing.

Yes but his job is to oversee the Sports Republic rosta. Again as he was supposed to do last season until Joe Shields walked out on us. If you bothered to watch the excellent Jason Wilcox interview he specifically said that Saints will not sign any players unless Wilcox and Martin agree. Can’t be any clearer than that. Dragan also said in a recent interview he could have focussed more on Saints last season. Don’t forget Sports Republic isn’t his only business. He is obviously rectifying that.

Thanks for the replies 👍

I’ve been checking up on The Hundred. Southern Braves are first game on August 1st at Trent Bridge. The same day The Metro Bank One Day Cup starts on the same day with Hampshire at The Ageas Bowl. James Vince is playing for The Braves for example. what’s the point of another cup running at the same time ?

Also medical emergencies in the crowd stopping games is really unhip. Although I’m sure Le Tissier claimed at the time they were caused by vaccinations.

Two games for goodness sake. It’s obvious we will sign more players.

Bohemians being lined up as well. Would make a pretty good pre- season tournament.

The Echo appears to have a genuine football writer now rather rather than copying articles from other papers. Still it’s completely unreadable with all the adverts.

On the App.

Yes all the friendlies are

You must be simple. It was a practice match FFS. Nice and slowly for you. By……the……beginning…….of…..the…….season…….we…….will…….have……played…..more……..games……..and……the……team…….will…be……quite…..different.

If you watched the full interview with Martin he mentioned offloading players and said if they don’t like it they will be dealt with, or words to that effect. I have a feeling JWP will stay but that’s only based on what has been said on here. I do know his missus doesn’t want to move and he wants to play a big part in his nippers upbringing. It’s not just paying a game at Fulham ( for example ) and then spend the rest of the week with his family.

Read up on Dragan. He’s a multi-billionaire for starters he has massive businesses in many of the Balkan countries especially Greece ( I know Greece aren’t Balkan ). SR are buying clubs FFS and has said that will not have any effect on any of Southamptons finances. Yet again I repeat he admitted he didn’t get involved enough last season and will be watching the club like a hawk.

Totally that’s why we’ve quoted very high prices for those two. I mean if the likes of KWP is keen to go to another club we would probably let him go but again he would cost a lot.

It’s been mentioned in many articles. Notably in The Athletics elongated article about our upcoming season. whereas Leicester particularly are in a financial mess.
