This just gets better and better. So if this is true Liverpool have had to pay an extra £10 million to Southampton all because they were titting around and trying to play the big boys by only offering up to £45 million ! 🤣

Aah yes there’s that too

I thought the same reading this thread tbh. Apart from the opening, called by musicians an “intro” I believe 😉, the whole thing was upbeat. The idea of it getting faster at the half way line has been replaced so get behind the band playing OUR song ffs !!!

If Wilcox/Martin think they can get better for a similar/reasonable fee?

I assume she’s abandoned us for Arsenal when home games clash given she works for them as well.

The EFL highlights on ITV were, umm, interesting ! An 8 goal thriller doesn’t get top billing cos some American footballer taking over Birmingham is apparently more interesting to probably absolutely nobody who doesn’t support Birmingham. Then we get a diabolical Scottish commentator who, presumably cos they are Scottish bangs on about Armstrong and Adams whilst making comments like “he’s almost taken the net off it’s hinges” 🤦🏻

If we are only going to get £10 million for Adams I would be inclined to keep him and risk him going for nothing next summer. Does the Downes transfer mean we arent interested in Grimes from Swansea as well ?

That’s ok then, when they regularly fuck up by being unable to defend the basics we can console ourselves safe in the knowledge that they care !

Well I thoroughly enjoyed that, the most entertaining game I’ve seen at St. Mary’s for years. It took me back to the old days. Still need two decent centre backs, despite so many people getting excited cos Stephens is captain truth is he’s still a bloody liability however I do wonder how much not having a keeper they trust behind them contributes to defensive issues?

Dare I criticise the Golden One but his corners were often poor and his penalties were very much 50/50, you never had the Le Tiss or Lambert (even Peach for those of us old enough) confidence that they were hitting the back of the net.

Lavia wants to go to Liverpool Chelsea have met Saints asking price Liverpool have not met Saints asking price Liverpool need to shit or get off the pot.

He wont but if I was Lavia I would say to Southampton dont bother accepting any Liverpool offer cos I'm not going there !! They've fucked him over big time.

Wasnt there a suggestion that ideally he didnt want to go to Liverpool but was hoping City would come back in for him ? If that is true i dont think he'll be too upset, he knows there will be other options and he'll be gone by 1 September.

You know its funny but i did wonder that, whether they've thought "we cant bugger around waiting much longer"

Who the fuck is rejoicing at him going?

Has RM not said that we have enough young players? I expect the main signings we make in the next few weeks to at least be Championship savvy.

Well he was never gonna play once the deal had been agreed. I can’t believe anyone honestly thought it was a possibility!

How do you know that though ? The noise is coming from the West Ham end and buying clubs always mark down the actual paid price, much in the same way Saints will bolster it a bit. The truth tends to be in the middle somewhere. Liverpool will do the same with Lavia. Unless these journalists have the clubs phones tapped (ahem) how on earth are they actually going to see or know the true amount paid between one club and the other ?

i'd like his next club to try that option, preferably in the next couple of weeks 😁

Chair and glass of water for FarehamSaintJames please !

Some people thinking the end of the world is nigh because players who we thought would be gone 2 months ago but are still here probably will go in the next 2 weeks ! Umm…

Yeah it’s ironic that, on paper, one of the best results of the season, away to Chelsea, turned out to be probably the worst 😔

Maybe so but if I was United I’d be biting their arm off for £30 million for him. He’s pretty average. Christ if he’s worth that maybe JWP is in the £40~50 million bracket.

I fell completely out of love with Southampton F.C. last season but even not counting the way we played in that opening match just the way we are not bowing down to these big club twats, they’ve got me 100% back on side. I bet old Klippity is having a meltdown about now 🤣🤣😜

Made me laugh when the reporter said the second half changes Selles made had stopped the momentum they were starting to build up. Yeah, that’s about right.
