So if we'd made the tickets for the home game £29.99 they'd have matched it? Saints should really make a statement to explain their side of the story.

Thanks, I'll be going from Fareham so it's train all the way but sending us via Havant

What's the best train route to get to vicarage road? Train sites suggest changing at Clapham and avoiding the centre of London.

It's not necessarily the same seats at the other end of the ground though is it? If you move them to where the family section is now you can wrap them round the corner, stopping the situation we have now where the away fans have an 'end'.

I wonder if he had a clause in his original contract that he'd get an extension if he had an international callup? Timing is quite suggestive

Featured in the Echo, and endorsed by the club's Chief Commercial Officer on Twitter today. The club are definitely in favour of getting some atmosphere in the Chapel

There's little doubt that fit and committed ABK and Sulemana would be first choice picks for us. Both expensive signings, one of them our record purchase.

Selles was taking a long term approach, when we desperately needed a short term solution to stay up. Makes me very doubtful that he has what it takes to be a manager

Burnley are spending £19m on a goalkeeper from Man City who has only ever played in league one. What could possibly go wrong? 😂

It is a bit darker. I bought the new one for my boy on Monday and I still have the original so was able to compare. Also, on the original the front and back of the sleeves flipped pattern, as did the front and back of the shirt. Hard to explain in words, but on the old one the right hand side of your body was red and white on the front, red on the back. Now it's red and white front and back.

Junior sizes can be bought with either Utilita or Starling, adult with Sportsnet or Starling

Interestingly, since January 1st we are 14th with 3 wins in our last 8. Bournemouth, Palace, Leeds, Everton, Leicester all have worse form than us (and Newcastle but I can't see them getting sucked into a relegation battle...

Isn't the more likely negative slant that last week was a one-off from Selles, and he turns out to not be a good manager after all? He's managed 2 first team matches in his entire career. One was a pretty poor performance against Sheffield Wednesday, one a slightly fortuitous win against a Chelsea team in bad form. I want him to do well, but it's far too early to make predictions. Then again, making snap judgements is the accepted way in football, why should that change now 😉

It is very sad news, loads of breweries are going bust at the minute. I was in there before the match on Saturday and there was no indication that they were about to fold. Agree with the point about getting their beers into St Mary's, would have made a lot of sense. Other clubs do it and it would have really raised their profile. I'd probably go to Olaf's Tun before matches if it wasn't for the fact that their licence doesn't allow under 18s on the premises. I'm going to have to rethink my matchday routine.

Why not just have a protest outside the stadium tomorrow evening?

An EXCLUSIVE story on something that Saints looked into over a year ago?! 😂 I liked the Athletic when it first came over here, and have subscribed for a few years. Didn't bother at renewal time over Christmas as I feel it has gone downhill. They made a big thing of the fact they don't indulge in gossip, but have continually moved in that direction. Also, no surprise but the big clubs get more and more reporters (the two Manchester clubs must have 5 or 6 combined), their own podcasts etc. There's little value in it for fans of smaller clubs.

I'm guessing he means the idiot fans who didn't even realise the semi was two legged, and were having a go at the players for not bombing forward with 10 men in the last few minutes on Tuesday. Even after the match, plenty of people walking away from the ground were oblivious

You literally posted this at the same minute he was named on our bench. Could you not have waited 60 seconds? 😂

One more win would have kept us up that season. I'm amazed how many people seem to have given up, our position is nowhere near as bad as is made out on here.

If we thought they were worth more, that just backs up my point. It's very easy to spend £30m on a striker and for them to be an absolute waste of space.

I'd love us to score more goals, obviously. But we paid around £15m for each of Adams and Armstrong, and something like £12m for Mara. They weren't bargain basement signings, and I'm sure we would have scouted them thoroughly and thought they would score more than they have. If we've got it wrong 3 times in a row (and a couple more high profile ones in the past), I'm not convinced that we'll easily be able to sign anyone better this time.

Well we signed those 3, and you obviously think they aren't good enough. I'm guessing we hoped for more from all 3 which suggests that it is actually quite difficult.

Who of course also isn't a centre forward, but people seem to ignore that. Not saying that's what you are doing btw.

He looks like he could win us lots of free kicks around the box..... ⛳🏌️
