Saint-Armstrong

Reporter from local Bologna paper.

Neville said Hodgson was at our Udinese friendly and spoke to Gary and told him about how impressed he was by Ward-Prowse apparently.

Reporter Adrian Kajumba tweeted it earlier: £176.1m v £14.8m

Ban him please. Well reasoned argument about Guly.

They said 20m euros, they accepted that officially from Tottenham. Just have to do the same as Spurs. Fans will be fine in time, when they start spending the money. They're already supposedly lining up Floccari.

Yes. He is not involved. Quotes in Italian press say he is in England I think.

Lock the thread mods!

Bologna's President gave the following interview: http://www.football-italia.net/23521/bologna-cling-ramirez?

Barney is heading to Brighton on loan!

...really? http://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/article/songsheet-160812-315627.aspx Preparing for the sudden rise in attendance's and woodwork fans? Couldn't resist. Some on here would say Saints should follow suit......

Alpine you really are such a tool. Simon Peach has been in contact with a Dutch guy reporting on it to him on Twitter. He says they went to court as they believe Vitesse have reneged on terms in his contract, and Saints are waiting on standby. We have now re-iterated our interest.

Saints come in at 3rd.

Hmmm.

Well a few reporters, including Nixon have said Cortese still wanted a marquee/sexy signing, so to speak.

If this comes off I will bow down at Cortese's feet.

To clarify, at some point this week we are expecting Saints to announce some squad numbers?

From another thread - thought it would be interesting to canvas opinion: Someone on another forum I read says he believes Rihanna is involved in The Illuminati, as evidenced by Masonic images in her music videos. Just wondered what others think of Rihanna potentially being involved in this, or, whether it exists? Are we even allowed to talk about this?

Massive fail. Apologies.

You're right. He started, and they gave a penalty against him for 'handball'.

The National - an Irish paper did a write up on Nigel/Saints ahead of this opening weekend of the Premier League season: http://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/the-hardest-job-is-done-for-southampton-manager A really good read I thought.
