As an aside, I don't know how you're getting to Virginia Beach or where it is in your plans, but if you were to drive there from DC know that traffic is horrendous heading south on I-95, towards Richmond, and Rt 64 East, towards VA Beach, can be very painful on weekends as well. My $.02, if you're comfortable taking the longer route then consider taking Rt 50 out of DC, across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge into the "Eastern Shore" area of Maryland. Eventually you'll work your way to Rt 13 South which will lead you through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (different than the aforementioned). When you get to the other side you'll be a stones throw from VA Beach.

Again, not sure of your itinerary and maybe you're very familiar with the area but traffic in the DC area sucks and you have to take advantage of certain windows where it's less congested. This is just another option and may let you see something more interesting than the back of a Chevy Camaro for 3 hours stuck in stop and go traffic.

I'm visiting the US in late August and was wondering if anyone is aware of places to watch Saints in both Washington DC and the Virginia Beach area. This will be for the West Brom home and West Ham away games. Any help would be fantastic, Cheers!

In DC, you can check out "Fados" in Chinatown. It's a chain Irish bar and if you check their website (http://www.fadoirishpub.com/washington/) they should have the schedule of matches to be shown a week or so in advance. Don't be surprised if there's a large contingent of Chelski or Manure fans and the Saints game is on in some corner with no sound.

Not sure where you're staying but in Old Town Alexandria , Virginia (just cross the Potomac from DC) there's Murphys, which is a decent Irish bar (they have Kilkenny on tap!) http://murphyspub.com/

Old Town is a cool area to check out anyway.

PM me if you need more help in DC, I lived there for many moons.

 

Dejan's first smile of pre-season

O Christmas, he's in bed with Fonte. What is in the water over there?

If we sign him, he'll be St Ings. Stings. Geddit? We can nickname him "the Wasp."

I get it, a Watford reference.

Up the Hornets!

 

Marsdinho

Andre Agassi played for the Saints?! WTF!?! Settled, I'm getting Agassi on the back of this years kit.

Homoerotic

When will gaston be back in training?

Won't be, he joined the French Foreign Legion. He was always going on about how he loves guns and cigarettes, only natural I suppose.

J - Rod to Orlando City SC! FACT!

That's what I'm taking from it.

SO is Lovren still with the team. Sure I just caught Talkspork saying he was now in Liverpool. May have just miss heard!!

I thought those pictures of the new Saints trainer named Rrendan Bodgers, with an odd, almost fake, mustachio may have been a Liverpool plant.

They're annoying me at the moment too. I'm still waiting for their invoice for the hospitality season tickets that I've purchased through my company and I'm still waiting four weeks later, having received an email stating it would arrive within two days. That and the fact I've emailed them twice to chase it up.

 

To think that they seemed so desperate to take normal season ticket money but can't be arsed to take mine!

Don't pay it for 4 weeks when it does come.

What??? FFS surely RK should just come on here and find out which players we like and play them not make up his own mind by looking at all the players on the books. Maybe RK could start a poll on here each week the top eleven most voted players play that week.....

That's ludicrous.

We'd clearly have to back our suggestions with FIFA (updated) and Football Manager stats.

Heard today that we are about to make a bid for the Celtic goalie and that **** van djik cb Celtic have. Not a reliable source just a bloke at work. Thought I'd pass it on as they have both been mentioned already.

Do you work for the Southampton Saints Football Club? Cause that'd be awesome.

Seems Jack Cork's Dad not too happy with this:

Is that really his old man? Why's he tweeting about bed frames on sale?

EDIT: too slow to post, sorry

Edit: Ah double post....

Zero, because all 38 games are on live TV here for free. Not pay per view, just NBC.

 

USA! USA! USA!

*high five*

That and going to the pub and drinking at 7:45AM for 12:45 PM kick offs, at least on the east coast.

Did anyone see Morgan in any of the vid or photo's?

I believe he gets a standard "X" amount of weeks for holiday following his departure from the World Cup. He's enjoying baguettes and cigarettes, or whatever it is French people enjoy, along St Tropez beaches.

 

Wonder what is being said here

DL: "Poch used to touch me like that..."

Take cover.

I thought the same thing.

"Don't do it, go back!"

He is wicked fast in FIFA. I usually score loads of goals with him and sell him for £50m. Maybe Rock'em Sock'em Ronnie is getting squad advice from his son?

Most footballers know bugger all about cars.

 

I once took Robert Huth and Didier Drogba up and down the Knowsley Expressway in a Noble M400 (one at a time obviously)... they insisted their 911's were better cars than that Noble. They both also said their 911's were faster.. they were wrong again. Mourinho wasn't too happy about me taking them out lol!

 

A fool and his money are easily parted.

What'd you talk about during the drive? I imagine lots of awkward silence with Drogba. Turn up the radio, try and squeak one out and hope he doesn't catch on and wonder why you put the window down in January?

BREAKING: #saintsfc have offered £11m for wantaway Liverpool midfielder Philipe Coutinho. @Phil_Coutinho has removed 'Liverpool' from bio.

Oh the irony! I hope he says he's admired us all season and his head was always in Southampton.

 

Wonder what is being said here

Ju fuksch wit me, ju fuksch wit da bestch.

is that Dejan by the camera?

 

The blonde guy towards the front looks like Boruc.

I would kill a man for that hair. This will not only bring back the beautician industry to Hampshire, ravaged from the month absence of Lallana and Shaw, but bring back the whaling trade. Hair can only look that good with the finest whale oil. This is a big day for Southampton.

With that, if anyone has a 100 ft square rigged ship and 35 free souls available for 6 months on the Atlantic Ocean, please PM me.

I think he can still do a job for us . He's older and wiser and knows how to poach a goal or two . Michael Owen Eskimo .

 

Keep him on board

When would you feel confident enough to put him in? Up 5-0 against the likes of Burton Albion FC in a cup game?
