Nope, that's it. The away is obviously the black and silver with the V on the front.

News of recent days is the supply of Black Cats for Osvaldo to Roma. There is talk of € 20 million? "Osvaldo is a great player. I've coached at Espanyol, so I know its features. At the time we got information about his situation at Rome, but we have not made ​​any offers, "says interviewed by Tuttomercatoweb It 'clear that looking for a striker, anyway ... "We have a clear idea of what may be our goals, but the market at the moment is going very slowly. We are working with a lot of discretion to bring on reinforcements in pink. " Looking also to the Italian market, see the names of Astori and Nainggolan ... "Of names matched to Southampton have come out many, perhaps too many. Some of them were invented, others do not. Astori, for example, has been tried, but in the end we opted for Lovren, a great player. " Ramirez will remain? "He 's happy with us, we are counting on him for next season. It 's normal that many clubs like to see its value, but we do not do case to market rumors. We are planning the next season with him. " Goals for the next season? "The president is an ambitious person, and so do we. We intend to improve ourselves, but we do not set points. We will look at every game, from first to last. "

Crikey....

Oh deep joy, Darren Lewis. Only ever seems to write about us when it goes wrong.

It's on BBC football online.

Scotland on Sunday's back page says Wanyama was in talks with Saints on Saturday. They claim the agreed fee is £12.5m inc bonuses.

Nainggolan has spoken about Saints too. Only, this one appears to hold genuine quotes: http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/inter/?action=read&idnet=ZmNpbnRlcm5ld3MuaXQtMTE4NDYw TRANSLATION

Really Andre...

So... Reading signed Royston Drenthe. Attitude problems, but no doubt a super player.

Seen a few of these floating around the place. Anyone got any good recommendations of things to do, that succeed? Just need to lose a stone or two.

Professional Photographer Daniel Lewis has posted up a collection of Saints-related pictures he took during the 00's, and thought some may be interested. LINK: http://www.daniellewisphoto.com/shooting-the-saints

After the Kinnear saga, Higginbotham went on to discuss it, and was asked about Woodward at Saints. Just listened to this... here are the key quotes on Saints: "The lads were obviously in shock at Sir Clive Woodward. For him to come into a football club with Harry Redknapp as manager" "Harry is one of the most experienced football managers. No disrespect, but that was undermining Harry." "I wouldn't say there was too much of a relationship between Redknapp and Woodward." "He was bringing rugby situations into our football training. It was bizarre to listen to, to be honest. Sometimes you listen to things and think, well I got something from that. But we didn't at all." "He was talking to us about throw-ins as if they were line-outs, in terms of getting the ball out and cleared out of play from a throw-in." "For him to come and do that, it was just mind-blowing. You can't compare the two." For those who missed the Kinnear comments, here they are: "Derek Llambezee was director of football, he's now resigned." - He means Derek Llambias, who has only ever been the Managing Director. "I played over 400 times for Spurs" "I brought Krul there." - He didn't "I can give you contact with any manager in world football." "I won manager of the year three times" "Some of them (the NUFC fans) are talking out their backsides. I've got more intelligence than them, I know that." So far he's said these names, they're obvious all incorrect... Derek Llambias - "Derek Llambeezee" Pa**** Cisse - "**** Sissy" Hatem Ben Arfa - "Ben Afri" Yohan Cabaye - "Yohan Kebab" Shola Ameobi - "Shola Amamobi" Kinnear also says he did a good job for Newcastle and that he knows more about football than anyone else associated with Newcastle, past or present.

He turns 31 on July the 1st...

Write to Cortese and co and put it in the paper too.

This will be the training shirt. Up to Saints to decide whether to keep panel black, or have it red.

Benfica today gave a new contract to manager Jorge Jesus, to manage them through until the summer of 2015. Think we can put a definitive end to this rumour, for now.

Baz, do us all a favour and shut the **** up. I would try and reason but you will just dismiss it out of hand. If you really dislike the Saints squad and players, don't pay to watch them. Find a stream, or something. But don't preach like the almighty to us mere mortals.

What about Cardiff's latest kit... ...looks like he's taken a pair of shorts out of the ****ing lucky dip bin in the school changing rooms.
