If they have breached the rules then I think us and burnley should also launch a legal challenge

To be fair to the man. We are in the mess we are in because Reed wasted money hand over foot in recent seasons. Its not the fault of the new owners.

Shane Long. Crap when we signed him, became critical under Koeman... and now how many games is it since he scored (unassisted). Turned his career around twice

Conservatively I get 14points form that, giving us 38points. Be unlucky to go down with that. I also think that Ralph will get a few extra.

Shockingly bad, deserve to lose this and well played Cardiff. Relegation looks likely and we could very easily be adrift in 3 games time. Joke to weaken the squad this much over January when we simply had to strengthen attack. Cardiff have one of the worst goal differences in the league ffs. Only positive for me is that bakery looks to be getting better and better, and at least Bertrand is back fit.

Is it yet to be another poor window then? If so it will be Yet more lying to the fans and the same old rubbish of pretending to be interested in players but then not actually making a serious effort behind close doors. One injury to redmond and we will be in trouble. Really hope we get at least some cover / support for him - will hold out for Che.

Going to call bull**** on that rumour.

If you can't make money betting on the team you know the most about, why bet on any othes. I made a tidy sum betting on relegation under mope and then cashed out under Hughes before betting on us vs Swansea... Saints fans know the team better than the book makers, use it.

First 2 episodes of discovery have been pretty decent, although the 2nd episode started better than it ended, a tad anti climatic.

So, no deal Brexit it is? Best get my mortgage fixed before March!

Guan said we'd be stronger by the close of the window, and that is good enough for me. Although slightly concerning that there has been no wink emjoi. So far.

Japan have a great chance. Hopefully we can add another national medal to the Southampton family.

Feels like we are prepping for relegation by shifting expensive / dead wood players, and giving the youth a go. If we can do this and stay up then woohoo!

He's had 3 terrible managers, but he was also part of our best ever prem finish and won the euros. He's a good player and he has always tried when on the pitch. Some of our fans are a joke, only complaining... and do it all the time. Some perspective please, the vast majority of what has been wrong at saints was due to Reed. He has gone now and things will most certainly improve. The continuous slating of players that try is not required and does the club no favours.

Think he'll come good and hope he gets his chance. He and ings are our best to CF's. Make of that what you will.

I tend to agree with Adrian. However, if we were unlucky with injuries (say ings/hoj/redmond out long term) then I think we'd struggle to stay up. With cedric, bertrand, ings and lemina all fit under this manager we have a mid table team no doubt. We don't have that currently however due to injuries and suspensions. I think the fanbase forget that RH has dragged us away from the relegation zones whilst regualry having 3 or 4 of our best players unavailable each game... It's therefore time for some perspective please. Far better to play the long game and do the massive restructuring in the summer. I know that's boring and not very exciting, but it's a surer route to enjoying saints more in the future. If we spend now we don't get value for money and we gamble massivley on quality and impact.

The ex Bristol rovers manager?

Just getting up in NZ. Called a saints win in the pre match thread. Delighted none the less. Sounds like a solid performance. And good games from long and JWP, along with romeu and bednarek.

Any input on how to watch this in new Zealand?

Often when you think we have no chance we sneak a win. Just saying.

Tammy Abraham has turned down a loan to wolves but said he does want a permanent move. 16goals for the villa this year - CHDAJFU?

Agreed.

Hi Glasgow Saint

For real? This one isn't very observant. 3points of champions league to relegation fodder in 3 transfer windows....

I think Les Reed's poor spending decisions showed through as the difference tonight. That and the ref was a fecking bent bell end.
