I do miss a Guan 2.0 smiley I have to say.

Also the ref is mere yards away at the time of the incident himself. Surely he can see it's a penalty from there. Weird.

Bit ****ed for the many Saints fans not in the country though.

We really really do not.

Presume the match will be streamed on the club's Youtube channel?

Hard to see this. Our dealing with Chelsea in recent seasons has been nothing but neat and clean unless I'm forgetting something.

Yes I'm sure Les has done all he can to bring about this outcome.

Agreed.

Yep. And then 3rd round next week if they make it, which they appear on track to do. So if that's a genuine transfer possibility it'll be early August.

Wonder if this one is still likely? When are their CL qualifiers?

I must have missed something. Nowhere in that article does it say we are "hopeful". Confident, and adamant(*2), but nothing about hopeful. And if he goes it's going to cost them every penny of our asking price and probably then some. We have them over a barrel I reckon and I don't see VvD kicking off enough to change that. Time will tell.

Don't like the look of that last training video. VvD not exactly attacking those little hoppy jumps with great enthusiasm. Maybe he left his Achilles in Liverpool.

VVD has travelled to Austria. https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-07-10/southampton-pre-season-austria-squad-announcement

So he's the French version of the English version of Thierry Henry.

Hah! I'll be 38 next month, and haven't played the game in any real sense since I was a teenager. And I still think I'm more likely to sign for the club than this bloke.

Based on recent history, can only assume once we've been linked with a Celtic player it's because we've all but signed them. 25 not too old for our model? 20 goals in two seasons for Celtic seems ok. Different leagues and all that.

Guess it's good we didn't end up with Tuchel then.

Eight weeks ago most of this joint was in #meltdown about us crawling to an 8th place finish. If the club had have released THIS video back then half the people on here would have died of apoplexy. The other half would have complained the club was trying to distract us. Screwed either way.

By ****ging all the players wives?

Note Ronaldo wants to leave Spain, allegedly. Assuming he's not planning to wind his career down in Southampton. But where's he realistically going?

Yes. A sure shambles we are.

The state of this thread....people freaking out about a cartoon and a lack of a set date for kit reveal. It's certainly different, but I enjoy the club doing different things when it comes to kit announcements. Also respect The9's work in providing insight and keeping track of the whole thing.

Classy, from a bloke likely using his brother as a meal ticket.

Not convinced he will be sacked. Nor am I quite sure he should be. But that's not the point of the game, so I will go with Friday May 26th at 5pm.
