No good buggering about until they report back for pre-season. Need to get someone in asap so they can identify who they want to keep, who they want to sign etc etc.

He wont leave until at least next January given he will need to prove his fitness before any big money move is made. Clubs arent stupid......well some are 🤣

to quote you on a different thread - "great support"

He would get players respect because of his playing career. Lets not judge him too much on this year at Palace, the Championship is a different animal altogether and he will want to prove himself again. I'd be ok with him if, big if, it happened.

I wouldnt be picking any of these twats who have referred to the club as "they" in their bounce back statements, especially not JWP who, as captain, should never use the word "they" to describe anything to do with Southampton FC.

Nah, they don’t give a fuck

I think Leeds, that point for Forest yesterday could be massive.

Ironic coming from someone who criticises people for wearing rose coloured glasses, for anyone showing emotion which isn’t in keeping with your opinions (the Ralph beating Liverpool incident), who criticises the players for being a bunch of son-in-laws….. then when someone says how they feel and it’s not happy clappy you call them out ! amazing irony.

I’m sorry to say you’ve nailed my feelings 100%

Option 8 - Joe Aribo - his whole demeanour on the pitch summed up the season

I bet Ely coming on was a popular decision 🤣

Thank God I decided to give this one a miss….

He’s going to be away with England U20’s and misses the last two games so it may be to save him from injury before that

If Tall Paul scores I’ll be interested in hearing Selles justify the decision to hardly ever play him. If he’s crap however then fair enough 🤣

I've got to the stage where I fully expect another half decent start, tailing off, opposition start to take control, score, end of game. I think I would be more annoyed however if we play well and win 2 or 3-0 cos the question then will always be "and you couldnt have played like this even six games ago?"

I don’t suppose they will but in order to attract the vast majority of Season ticket holders to renew they should make the deadline as late as possible so fans can see what the club are doing…..or not….to plot an immediate return to the Premier League before parting with their money.

Same here

2005 was far worse than this, whether thats because I'm older and it doesnt matter quite so much I dont know or maybe/probably its because we have been dreadful all season and fully deserve to go down finishing bottom.

The fact he’s considered our best player and has been for the past couple of seasons only goes to highlight just how far the rest of the team/squad has fallen. Take away the set pieces and what is he? There was a 10-15 min spell in the second half last night when we were really on top that he almost forgot himself and was driving forward. Didn’t last long however. Will be fascinating to see which clubs come in for him. If it’s Newcastle better buy some thermals James, it’ll be cold sat on the bench up there.

Playing him right back is bad enough, left back is a total disaster.

Commentator - You wouldnt discount Southampton yet Saints fan base - Yes you effin would !

It doesnt have Jamie Carragher or Jamie Redknapp so thats two positives !

There is no way I would want Lampard anywhere near Southampton, esp with that stupid old git of an uncle just down the road BUT it wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if we didnt go for him. The only thing I will say is he did well in the Championship with Derby and thats probably about his level. I just hope SR dont see it that way.

Looking at the fixtures I think Leeds and Everton are, they needed the win tonight. But it changes every week…… well except for the team at the bottom of course !

Watching the way Leicester and Everton are giving it everything in this game whilst we play like sleep walking zombies. No comparison at all.
