Shame. Going to struggle to get enough season out of the championship kit. That was the smartest striped kit I have seen, the city, Chelsea and Liverpool wins would ha e looked so much better if red and white stripes had been sambering about them. Gutted. Blame everyone who bought last years kit... You supported the club in this endeavour now we have to listen to some of u moaning as well.

All cab be found on Google. And still no thoughts by yourself as the other question you asked....

Clear cut and simple really. Agent wants the money, Cortese doesn't pay greedy agents which we have seen time and time again, and was shown by our total spend of agents fees last year vs other clubs. If the player is happy to settle for a club where he will achieve less in Cardiff then fair enough. It means the player lacks ambition big time and Alarm bells are ringing for me. Let him go to Cardiff, maybe that is his level, Big fish, small pond etc etc

You know, if you reverse the red and white colours, it will be close to xerox... maybe they are teasing us? Whatever the outcome, its better than what happened last year. And people who bought last years kits have no right to moan. The raptures over that kit only encouraged the club to ignore the fans this year...

It is being reported on sky also.

Surely he would want to take revenge on dirty owen for his filth dive that besmirched the name of his hero, The Pooch!

Agreed - Mouldy coat is on something special, that or Alpine has a new account.

Cardiff at home - guess at the 17th

Loads have, even sky had us linked with him for circa £8m yesterday... Looks like we are very interested.

The lucky phew have been granted their first Cup final of the season, as the lowly Bournemouth take on Former FA Cup winners and recent premier league side Portsmouth in the first round of the League cup... Can the cherries rise to the occasion and overcome the noise generated by the mighty fish army (50people).... In fairness, Sky overlooked this match, it is one of the biggest ties of the round... and since there is no longer a serious derby between Saints and skates, surely they should have made more of this. Bit disrespectful to Bournemouth in all honesty.

Not exactly Neymar's goal vs Japan, won't be getting too excited just yet. I do think he has a solid premier career ahead of him, but he needs some quality first team experience to develop.

He is a total prat by all accounts, do we really want him at our club. And yes, I have you tubed him destroying Barcelona and Athletic.... he really is immense on the field. Do we want all that comes with him. Will he be our suarez or tevez?

The ground will be expanded in the next 5 years, people are kidding themselves if they think its not going to happen. Also, yes, the TV revenues dwarf the Turnstile income... but to argue that the club shouldn't invest increasing its profile, gaining more fans and improving its long term income is non sensical. If you can't capitalize on our current successes and the objectives we have, then when it ends, it will all have been for nothing. Bayern have record merchandising turnovers which put them on a par with the best in Europe despite having a much small tv rights income. The premier will not always attract the current market, other leagues will develop which will detract from it, and club merchandising and turnstile income will rise in importance. That is how I see it. The club can not and should not stand still, all routes of improvement should be utilized. And I want a St James' park style stand to go to!!!

It could also mean - "Man Utd... **** Off" - as an aside.

In fairness to the lad, having watched most of his interviews..... he is pretty damn slow. But then he is getting paid for his brains on the pitch, not in the real world with the rest of us.

No. That is just plane wrong. I think you'll find he is signed until he is 20 years old. 3 years from 17

There is nothing wrong with the likes of Andy cole, curetan, stewart, Ellington, hales etc... considering the clubs in Bristol are small in stature and struggle to compete rubgy, they have certainly produced some decent players. Don't let that stop you though, please carry on making us look like ignorant "arsenal/man utd, $hitty or chelsea" fans... good job.

Are we interested in John Guidetti? I have just heard a rumour to that affect, although it was over lunchtime drink and given with a sly smile. Dare I say this on this forum, but is there actually anyone on here who is in the know on this? Braces ones self...

Sorry fonte - championship/league 1, but my meaning doesn't change.

Sorry, come again? Who other than Steven Davis and fox had premier league experience.... Lambert had never played above league 1, lallana and morgan had a handful of games at championship. Hammond - league 1 Fonte - League 1 Jos - No english experience what so ever I could go on... what a joker... How you can slag the man off I will never know.

I think bridge could do a good job for us, he was the best fullback in the championship last year, and look how jayrod and clyne have stepped up from that level. Plus we all know that bridge can hack it in the prem anyway. His wages would be the key factor. Another point to consider, is which young players are we going to sign to be an understudy to an 18year old? I think this is key, because unless we stick with fox (shivers) then bridge is exactly the kind of player we will be targeting - older player with experience to impart on the youngsters. Also, who better to persuade the young shaw to stay at saints than someone who went to chelsea and city and wasted his career.... He also comes back to Shefield English now and again, so still has roots here. I also would like to think that he would be interested in repaying the club and fans where he made his career... perhaps that is expecting too much. The other issue ofc is Nicola's view of all things pre-take over are bad, and should be shunned or just never mentioned

I get fed up wtih people banging on bout heritage and demanding stripes. I want us to wear a miss Southampton kit next year... THAT KIT WAS AMAZING. Even watching it now I think how stylish we looked when we played our samba league 1 football! I also think that most people who bought this years kit are selling out the clubs traditions. The last good kit we had was the championship one last year! This years is a disturbing non entity.

Horrendous trolling surely, all those players joined the club between the ages of eight and 12.... Ergo they are products of our youth academy. Cesc was a barca youth product, ramsay was a cardiff youth product.... I mean how the hell can you say that and then count oxo as our player... By your argument he is an Arsenal youth product.... WTF

Percentage of the ground wise. A small minority want it. Personally, if people want it, the take all the seats out from northam area. The rest of the ground stay seated and are happy that way.

I thought Torres played for Chelsea? At least some of the time!!!! He's so ineffective I must have missed him playing for West Ham.. that explains why he only gets on the pitch every other game at least!! Also, is this another eample of West Ham cheating their way in the world... double registration of a player at 2 clubs at once, tut tut.
