Would be great.....but don't hold your breath waiting.

Think Mayuka, Gazzaniga and Gaston might be a bit harsh, jury out I would say, lets see what pre season does for them. Otherwise the bad transfer list is spot on for me !

You appear to have missed out Guly If only to see what Chelsea player he would be compared with ?

Agree top and bottom 3, think we will finish 13th however.

Seems strange they haven't announced it yet. i fully expected a 9.00 announcement this morning. Its not like his birthday has taken anyone by surprise is it ?

Wont be a press conference, just an announcement on the OS, the customary "watch" picture and a brief interview on Saints player :-)

Danny Fox has a lot of tattoos and he doesnt look like a Prem player either :-D

I hope this is true, Cork is a fantastic player for us, hope he doesnt get forced into a bit part role with the arrival of Wanyama.

Thats a hell of a thing. As someone has said more thought went into that than into the home shirt

I take Hatson's point about Celtic, although some have you cannot really argue about the size of the club compared to us. And yes he is writing for a Scottish audience. But he has fallen into the trap that so many have with Saints over the last two to three years. He's thinking of us as the same club we were when he was playing and that aint nothing like anymore. Didnt Bally try to sign him from Arsenal before we got Shipperely ? Glad he didnt now - bloody idiot

totally agree with that - he was bloody fantastic for a few weeks before that injury and never really got that form back. Really hard worker, always liked him and I hope this move comes off for him and wish him and his family well, especially in light of the personal tragedy they suffered a couple of months ago.

It will be extremely harsh if either of them get dropped and I wouldn't want to pick cos both have been fantastic for us. Look how much we miss either when they are out.

The soundbite that came with my season ticket was talking about "The Southampton Way - we lead and others follow our example" etc etc I'm having trouble linking that with the new kit. We have a shirt that you can buy unbranded for £15-20 online, a shirt that is identical to Bristol City's, a League One club and yet we take the lead whilst others follow ? Really ? If I was Mr Cortese I would be asking Adidas serious questions as to why the club have been conned into launching a kit that most certainly does not "lead the way" !! SFC, Cortese or whoever approved this kit have had the wool well and truly pulled over their eyes. Say what you will about last season's pin stripe effort from Umbro but at least it was unique to Southampton.

looking at that pic have they sneeked the end of season DVD out today too ?

Sizing is less generous than Umbro ? You must be kidding. Depending on manufacturer i can buy Medium or Large in tops. Umbro's Saints shirts were tight and I had to go for XL......many had the same issue. So what size would we have to buy with this crappy thing then ? Oh, and I agree about the long sleeves !

The tune is actually from an old Liverpudlian folk song called Johnny Todd which was used by Z Cars as it was set in a fictional area of Liverpool. I think Everton used it from then on. To get back to topic I always wondered why Arsenal ran out to Elvis singing The Wonder of You a few years back.

Many years ago Nick Holmes said all the captain had to do was go out, call heads or tails at the toss and choose which way to kick first half. A rather simplistic view maybe but as Weston says a talented team who are being constantly told what to do by MP onthe touchline dont need a captain to du much. Let him carry on, just because he took a while to adapt to the Premiership and a while to get over his injuries, which often seems to happen with him, does not show if he is a good or bad captain or more importantly if it impacts on his game !

The home games through until the start of December look very very winnable !

Add the cryptic clue from Saints Paul Watts and I reckon thats right. Albion being the highest ground in England, snow on high lying ground etc etc

Forren ?

Pleanty of threads started about who was a let down at Saints etc but if ever there was player or manager who exceeded expectations then WGS will take some beating !

I reckon you are Seriously though, rather WGS humour than the dour, boring Dave Jones twaddle !

No, I think he is a fan who is desperate for his club to hit the big time and has been totally shafted by Redknapp to the point he cant see the wood for the trees. Like a frightened rabbit in old arry's headlights.

If I was Fernandes I would call the old ****s bluff. Let him walk, no pay off then and he can get a decent manager in who is willing to build them up into a decent side unlike Arry who will just apply a quick fix and hope it works.

Why ? Beatts didn't tweet it, Sharp did !
