Lis is at Troyes. Only recently started playing for them after they appointed Patrick Kisnorbo as their manager, if you remember him. Played 9, kept one clean sheet and conceded 17, so very Saintsy.

Ings would make this transfer window a perfect one, a CDM would be greedy. We’d stay up comfortably with Ings back scoring goals from nothing. I don’t see why West Ham/Everton would go for somebody other than Ings if he’s available though.

Bottom of the league, but the bigger picture is that we're now 2 points off 14th. Come on you Saints!

I love Ward-Prowse! Never criticise this man!

Ward-Prowse in the right position is so good!

Uh oh. Don't undo the good work so far again Saints!

Fuck, that was confidence boosting. The Saints have got me hoping again after last week and it’s the hope the gets you! Every single player was a 10/10 tonight and did their job expertly. Bazunu, Lyanco, KWP, DCC, Lavia, JWP, Djenepo and A. Armstrong were all at their best tonight. This squad does have the quality. Whoever we get tonight (the draw will probably be done before I get this post sent), we’ve just knocked out the best team in the competition and the Liverpool semi-finals of the Puel era are up their with my best memories as a Saints fan. Let’s believe! A couple more positive signings, who you can already see have impacted the squad despite not featuring too much, or at all tonight and we can make 2023 a good one.

This is why Wilcox is making the step up.

Has Jones made a deal with God? This is unrecognisable from last week and I definitely wasn’t going to go tonight after last week! 😂

Craig Dawson's a bit of a cult hero at West Ham and he's had a worse career on paper than Keane - Never been in contention for England and suffered two relegations with Watford and West Brom, so I guess it could work.

He made it to the top in that he got to Real Madrid and was the best player in the world behind Messi and Ronaldo for a couple of years. Wales' greatest ever player also. Giggs is a scumbag and used to drop out all the time anyway. Dragged them to numerous tournaments and they saw their future without him and Ramsey a last month and it was bleak. The ultimate big game player for Real Madrid and definitely the most decorated player we've ever produced. This goal is just bizarre, without considering he also scored an overhead kick in a Champions League final, but this is my favourite:

My memory of Blackpool at home in the cup is us being in League 1, them in the Premier League and beating them comfortably 2-0 with a very nice Guly goal. Post-match Holloway lost his head.

How'd he score that goal against West Ham? Would be the best goal I've ever seen live if he does it again.

In order to sign for Southampton, he has to start saying "There is no bigger club than Goztepe".

Every single Saints fan knew Jones was the wrong appointment, I even called bullshit and thought it was unthinkable when Pilchards said that he was our main target after Hasenhuttl But, there has been plenty of actions made by the club in the past that I disagreed with and then got wrong and ended up eating humble pie and I wanted this appointment to be one of those and some untapped genius by the club. However, it's now proven to be the joke appointment that we all knew it would be. We barely scraped a win against a mid-table League One Lincoln ffs. An offside goal and penalty not given gave us that win. 0 shots on target at home against 19th placed Nottingham Forest. Our first tactical substitution after 64 minutes and doesn't change the five at the back formation until the 85th minute when he takes off Lyanco for Armstrong. Alan Pardew had a better record in this league than this Stoke reject.

We've got the Danish Ralph Krueger. Take your shitty little Turkish club and fuck off.

Akpom's always been crap too, Middlesbrough loaned him out to Greece last season. I was surprised by his numbers for this season, but Armstrong and Adams also had a season of very good numbers in the Championship, but then couldn't replicate those here.

Lens beating PSG 2-1 at half time. They're second with 1 loss this season. Play with a back three and Kevin Danso is the central centre-back and seems to be rated in France. Perhaps Ross Wilson did identify a good player.

Aston Villa enjoying the result of appointing a top level manager. We were level on points with them when he was appointed, now 9 points and 8 places behind.

This excuse is always made. Both Nottingham Forest and Wolves have announced one signing each ahead of the window's official start. Our closest competitors in 18th and 19th. It fits the narrative that is constantly pummelled into us by the people in charge that we're tiny little Southampton lucky to be here, rather than acting like a normal, competitive Premier League club.

At least Lavia and Mara get stoppage time.

I always found it to be madness how Argentina's World Cup winning centre forward is an often forgotten squad player at City. USA's first choice goalkeeper is Arsenal's second and hasn't played a minute in the league this season. Probably more examples.

Have Liverpool tapped up the new David Luiz?

Only plays well against us, so I suppose we wouldn't have to face him.

Another example after the multiple contract extensions that the decision makers don’t have a clue. Bednarek and Stephens aren’t good enough for us and we’re 20th, so they aren’t good enough for this league. We’re going into a relegation battle, Bednarek is passive and isn’t up for a fight. Goes missing, played in both 9-0s and what happens in the situation that we play a relegation six pointer, but Poland are playing the week after? He burnt his bridges when he got his dream move of a bigger club’s bench. Stephens is just a Championship player. Jones’ father in law surely has to get on the phone quickly to explain how shite the two are.
