I can't even be bothered to respond fully any more. Money and the 'riches' of the Premium League are killing not just football but sport in general. Where has the fun gone? I'd rather see a team enjoying themselves and having fun than the deadly serious sh*te we're served. Southampton forever, just go out and express yourselves and enjoy it. Rather that than just trying to make money for no one.

On the bright side, at least Bompey lost as well...oh!

It was good for 20 minutes. Have had to stop listening. Same old, same old. So disappointing! ☹️

Start of the season optimism kicking in maybe, but I think we're going to get something out of this. I'm going for a 1-2 win for Saints. Early Saints goal (A. Armstrong) cancelled out by a Spurs numpty, only for JWP to score from a free kick or place the ball on someone's head for the winner.

I'm an optimist when it comes to Saints, so top 4 will do, top 6 will be a disappointment. 😉

No matter what, every new season I'm so optimistic that this is the one that... Our keeper is going to do a Shilton / Niemi and be stunning We've found the next Beattie / Pahars / Davies / Insert great striker we've had here Our defensive partnership is going to gel and be as good as, well, the last best defensive partnership we had. Mine would be Claus and M.Svensson. I'm on a mixture of wine, Jack Daniels and copious amounts of German beer. I'm always hopeful that Saints might buck the trend and be something more than strugglers. To be honest, living in Nottingham, I'm just hoping we manage not to lose to Forest this next season because this lot up here are desperate to rub someone's nose in it that isn't Derby, and I have a big, family nose!

I'm calling it now, European place for Saints next season. Didn't watch the match, have never seen the new players before, but just have a feeling that this is our season. That is not the drink or the everlasting hope talking at all. No-sir-ree-bob! This coming season is THE ONE.

Unless it's at Swansea in the FA Cup. He turned that game around for us from the bench. Wish him all the best, has been a model professional with Saints, no disruption, gave 100% and seems like a genuinely decent chap that has left us with some very memorable moments. £12m well spent in my view.

We've signed a young player...a highly regarded one at that? Nah, don't believe it, surely Kerry Dixon and David Speedie are available these days. What's Dave Beasant up to nowadays? (to be fair, he was decent for us). We've already got hotels booked for next season in the Midlands and down Sowff for matches we can make and hopefully get tickets for. Please, please beat Forest at the Sh*tyy Ground. As ever, excited for the new season, hopes are high that this is the one that clicks and Ralph takes us somewhere! Welcome Gavin, our expectations are low, our hopes are high. Niemi is yours...and our benchmark, good luck!

There's always one who has to bring it back to football on a football forum. As we only got to 1 home game, it has to be Villa, it was a win that we actually played well in.

That poll is immediately null and void for not having Rammstein in it. Easily the best live band I've ever seen by a country mile. Also, Rage against the Machine, really? The most boring live band I've witnessed. Kiss followed them at Finsbury Park and blew them off the stage, another great live band that isn't included. Only my opinion, but I'm so right! 😉

Wolves much better 2nd half. Think if it stayed 11v11 Saints would've been better as well and may have won comfortably. Looking forward to seeing Saints Women next season in the Midlands. Good, cheap football played in the right spirit. What football should be!

Liking the ACDC half time music. Not enough Heavy Metal played at football. 😁

Great to be able to enjoy a good Saints side live on the BBC. Great touch, composure and finish for the goal. Wolves unlucky with the red and think it will spoil what has otherwise been a good game of football.

Cheers, we'll give that a go in the future, looks good.

Go on, tell us the name of the pub. Interested in going being close to Leicester.

Going to this game seeing as it is so close to us, got a 100% win rate this season...but we've only got to Sheff Utd and Villa at home. 😁 Not expecting much to be honest.

Always thought we've looked better with A. Armstrong in the team. A bit like Che in that he gets in the right places for an attempt but just takes the wrong option. With more game time, I think he'll be good for us, but needs to be in the team.

Said it before, this feels like the Strachan effect all over again. We were 4th at Christmas when WGS said he was leaving and we plummeted. We were a team in Jan, looking good. Then Ralph says he intends to retire at the end of his contract and we plummet...we suddenly looked awful. Can the players really be motivated by someone they know who is leaving? I feel we are better than the current position and something is holding us back. Thinking it may be Ralph now. Like him and think he's been good for us but a change is now needed. Is Hoddle available? 😉

I'm never going to win one of those signed shirts and I convince myself we're going to win every time, 0-3, yeah right. Very disappointed!

We seem to have been rubbish since the news broke about Ralph seeing out his contract and retiring. Is this the 'Strachan' effect all over again?

Typical Saints. They do this on purpose. Following them is like the preverbial rollercoaster. Not expecting anything but a loss and they pull out a win. Lower expectations so people are surprised when it comes together. Great win, keep it up to the end of the season please.

Floodgates opened, 4-0 now. 😁

Can Ralph Hasenhüttl's men find something in the second half? No!

Was about to post Saints to win 4-3 but even that's gone to pot. What is going on? We looked so good from Dec to Feb.
