Dr. Kucho

Man walks in to the local chemist and ask for a pack of viagra. The chemist replies: do you have a note from your doctor? Man replies: no, but I do have a photo of my wife.

What I don’t understand is that IF Putin wanted this guy dead, why not get a hitman to go over to this blokes place, shoot him and make it look like a robbery/burglary gone wrong? Why poison him with a Russian made nerve agent, knowing that after tests on the body it’s likely to be found on or in the body? Or make it look like suicide what has happened to others in the past.

After today’s stage Froome has said he will ride for Thomas after loosing 30 odd seconds. If Thomas can get through Fridays stage without loosing time, it’s just the time trial that could stop him loosing the yellow jersey. With him, Dumoulin and Froome being good time trialists, this is going to be a very good stage.

G could have more work to do now Mouscon has been expelled from the Tour. Don’t understand why Sky brought him to the tour, the guy is known for being a bit of an idiot and now he gets expelled after hitting a fellow rider. They should have brought Ian Stannard as he can do the same job as Mouscon. Sky now have to decide which rider has got to do more work for the other. Hope G gets to keep the yellow jersey and wins the tour.

This is how a training camp should be. In a peaceful setting surrounded with mountains and fresh air just a short trip from home. Not at the other side of the world in a busy area. Lots of work to do so good luck guys.

Great stage today. I’ll be surprised if Dumoulain can attack again tomorrow. Hope Sky allow Thomas to race for the yellow jersey, it could be very tight this year. Looking forward to tomorrow’s stage with the riders going up Alpe d huez.

Shaw has the talent and ability to be one of the best backs in the league, sadly he doesn’t seem to be the sharpest tool in the box. Such a waste of talent.

Rumor has it in the Dutch media is that Saints and Ajax agreed on a lower fee to avoid Saints having to pay FC Twente a sell on fee for Tadic.

What would work out best for us, releasing Clasie now, or loaning him to others until his contract runs out? Besides Clasie has said in a interview with Dutch media he wants to leave as he and his wife struggle living abroad and want to return to the Netherlands. Feyenoord want him, but by far can’t pay the 10 million euros we want for him.

Am I correct that the China tour has come to an end and the players and staff are on their way back?

Best of luck to all of them. Do we have any highly talented players currently in the academy to watch for the coming years?

With Armstrong, Gunn, Elyounoussi (spelling) signed and Vestergaard all but signed. What would your prefered line up be for next season? Think Hughes will go with the 3-5-2 line up England played this WC, will go for, McCarthy Yoshida - Vestergaard - Bertrand Cedric - Lemina - Armstrong - Hoijbjerg - McQueen Austin - Elyounoussi Subs: Gunn, Gabbiadini, Ward-Prowse, Hoedt, Romeu, Sims, Reed

We do mean business this summer. Good to see we aren’t run like a seaside b&b. Where is Alpine btw?

Not to sure about this signing, doesn’t have his head shaved with odd looking symbols in it and no tattoo sleeve

Has the said why Carrillo and Boufal aren’t on the plane to China?

ESPN reports we are interested in Danish defender Jannik Vestergaard from Borussia Monchengladbach.

He is leaving to join Ajax. Player and club have come to an agreement and its just waiting to be announced. Probably once Tadic has returned from the world cup.

You are such a strange and depressing person. Say you have the choice between playing for Bournemouth or Burnley (assuming you are local). Doesn’t it make sense to sign for a club near to were your family and friends are?

Can I ask the people who would like us to sign Ziyech why they would want him? Yes he is very talented and full of tricks, but his demeanor is the same as Boufals. At Heerenveen, Twente and Ajax he had a poor relationship with the fans and staff. Standing next to Jordy Clasie would make Clasie look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his bodybuilding days. Imagine one of the big CB’s of the Prem crashing in to him. Besides him and Boufal together would seriously cause trouble within the team.

Ajax are loaded with cash. They have been making millions over the last few years with player sales, and likely to do again this summer with the sales of Kluivert, Ziyech and de Ligt (the sale of de Ligt is likely to be around 60 million euro). I agree that Tadic isn’t the kind of signing Ajax would normally do.

This. Glad I haven’t wasted any money on this. Anyone know a decent Saints forum where I can read about the club instead of rubbish?

Alireza Jahanbakhsh from AZ Alkmaar. A winger and/or attacking midfielder who can score goals and create them.

A difficult choice between 3 seasons. 2011-2012, the season we were in the Championship and got promoted to the PL under Adkins. Got to go to many games and remember singing ´we are Southampton, were are top of the league´ many times. 2013-2014, like said above, we played some great football and the players all seemed to be having a great time. 2015-2016, finishing 6th and winning just about all the games after Christmas. We almost finished 5th above United.

I see that Napoli have sacked Sarri, maybe we are in for him

I don’t want to sound all pessimistic, but I have my doubts with what Hoedt has supposedly said. If the players would have walked out of training multiple times, I am sure some reliable ITKs on here would have posted something. This isn’t a boardroom meeting where only a select few people are. This is a training session with 20+ football players involved, plus all the staff at Staplewood that were there at the time. Someone certainly would have talked. I do believe that the players we’re glad MoPe left as they didn’t seem to know what he wanted them to do on the pitch, and they were all over the place.
