Would be interested to hear the routes of how us saints fans will be descending on Milan this week. Ours is quite boring, flying from Gatwick at 7am Thursday into linate for 10am. Chuck the bags into the hotel then out for a few ! Have heard some weird and wonderful routes getting to Milan, see you there !

Special mention today for super Steven Davis, thought he was very good again today and consistently good so far this season.

All three of our tickets arrived in one envelope today yet we still got charged £6.95 each !

Is it worth taking my flag ? Seen videos of the second tier and don't know if there's any good places to hang them.

And what's even more annoying is that I am on there data base as a previous season ticket holder but as I now get my tickets through my family they won't sell me a ticket. Something to do with saints wiping there purchase history data base a few years back but name address still on there !

Can I get something straight here, is this Scott mcgarvy in the know about the telegraph insider, cups if he did know he has big time crapped on people he's known in football for many a year.

The Barnsley bloke got sacked as seen to have 5k in an envelope given to him, will be very interesting to see if saints stick by there man. But to close to home for my liking tho

Oooops !

Tickets for Southampton's trip to Internazionale in the UEFA Europa League group stage will go on sale to all supporters with an appropriate purchase history from 9am on Wednesday. Saints will face the Italian giants in a Group K contest at the San Siro on Thursday 20th October, with the game kicking-off at 6pm BST. As previously announced, lengthy discussions with Internazionale resulted in our initial allocation of 5,000 seats being increased to a total of 8,700, meaning more of our supporters will be able to make the trip to Milan. Tickets, which are priced at £19 each, with no concessions available, are currently available to Official Members with an appropriate purchase history. After tomorrow, they will go on sale as follows: Wednesday 28th September (9am) – All supporters with a purchase history. Please note, in order to buy a ticket, you must have a purchase history with the club at any point from the beginning of the 2014/15 season onwards. Please also note, last week's EFL Cup match against Crystal Palace and Sunday's Premier League trip to West Ham DO NOT count towards the purchase criteria.

Played 8, lost 2 (Man U , Arsenal) drawn 2, won 4. Plus goal difference now, Team adjusting to new manager well, good rotation of players for back to back games. Happy household !!

I'm on the 6.55am Easyjet out of Gatwick - Staying at Novotel Linate Airport (Easy for next mornings flight home) !!

Got tickets for the saints end. Surname the same but different first name, hoping I'll get in ok

So do you think most saints fans without official tickets will be able to get in ?

I remember holding the "Branfoot Out" sign up in the family centre all those years ago, someone chucked it up from the Milton, next day front page of the echo

Thanks, is it definitely photo I.d ?

So am I right in saying that someone cannot use someone else's season ticket because I.D is required on the gate, what about same surname ? And what I.D ?

Thanks, that probably makes my mind up to stay near the airport seeing as there is good transport links. Also, I'm sure there will be an Irish bar for saints fans, there's one in every city !

Interested to know what people's plans are getting to the ground from Linate airport, we are arriving at 9.55am and will be booking a hotel very near the airport for convenience for the next mornings flight, any ideas what the best way of transport and where will saints fans be drinking during the day. Is it best to go into Milan or straight to the ground (any bars in the area), thanks in advance.

To be fair, I had to double take when I looked again this morning and make sure I had booked on the right date ! this is what these bloody airlines do, takes the p***

just booked £200 for 3 of us from gatwick to Milan, easy jet, was in that window of opportunity yesterday and the price doubled. Well chuffed they have been reduced early this morning. Fill ya boots while you can !

Good article, nice to read from someone who has actually done there research and talks sense about the club.

It may be unnecessary but tough sh*t that's the way it is and that's what sounds like has happend, for what it's worth I don't agree with him airing his dirty laundry in public especially so close to the start of the season.

To be honest I don't blame Fonte, I bet he's fed up of seeing players/managers leave. He's been loyal, fans need to get over it.

Good words from Ryan, all the top lads are believing in what is happening behind the scenes. Big statement this, Tadic and Long next please. Feel good factor returning after some big losses.

Agreed. Time will tell what role he gets
