Yep. We should be blaming Bazuna. Drives me crazy. that should be a stop for your average PL goalkeeper.

Willy Caballero is 41. Could literally be his father. (well not literally, but you get the gist). Hopefully, they can develop a father-son type relationship.

i need this high to continue... give us a striker please! i was so giddy after the win last night, that i realized i hadn't been like that after a Saints match in a long long time. People noticed.. they were like: you are in a good mood, whats up?!

quite the winter welcome for Alcaraz! 27C and mostly sunny in Buenos Aires right now.

Luton beat Blackpool back in November 0-1 under NJ's command. So some familarity there.

his YouTube clips imply he is forward thinking in the middle of the pitch, but clips only show 99.5% of one's play. I am going to choose to keep a positive mindset, which only seems to occur during transfer windows lately when i look back over the last year. - On pitch performance, however, has created a different mindset altogether.

this.. there have been calls and wild gesticulation for adding experienced players on this squad while complaining that all we have bought is a bunch of teenagers. Keane seem like the type of experienced veteran that everyone has been clamouring for.

I sure hope so.. I have been thirsty for a Tadic type player since.. well, since Tadic.

Nice. I think we all are desperately needing something to feel positive about. It might be fleeting, but nice nonetheless.

If you were Tella would you want to come back? 16-8-2 and in 1st place, while contributing 8 goals, sounds like a fun time.

some managers can be beat 9-0 (twice) and still keep their job, so...

hell, i am a bit surprised 538 still predicts a 16th place finish. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/premier-league/ what do they know that we dont?

better than a loss. - likely no more cream puffs in this Cup run - might be an All-PL final 8.

9 of 25..but have only been a supporter for the last 10 seasons.

excellent work! but Nathan Jones is 49, not 59. typo, i would assume.

*** edit. Totally misread when this was originally posted, my apologies.

Not sure we’ll ever now the full story (I think there was a bit of cold feet by Gakpo though), but what could have been. I want to believe the club had an agreement with the team and the player just decided at the 11th hour he wanted to stay. but yeah, that was our narrow window. He is Top 6(7) bound now. Got to believe we would be in the top half if he was on our side.

Ha. So in an alternate universe, Harry Kane was a Saint for a year and a half before we sold him to Liverpool in 2015.

Hmmm…. Now do strikers.

A lot what ifs. allison gets his positioning and balance right. No goal for Che. bazuna gets his positioning and balance wrong. Goal for Firmino. little things. Could be 2-2. it’s also the little things that gets you relegated.

Clearly, Liverpool buying Saints players so that Southampton has no one on the roster who can score goals against them has paid off.

OK, to post United States Squad in this thread, I hope? They are in England's group after all. 17 from European Clubs (6 from PL) 9 from MLS

my wife asks me every Saturday : "why do you watch this? You don't ever appear to be enjoying it." There really has been little joy in the last 4 or 5 years.
