i dont understand us as fans wanting our players to go to international duty. More games, more likelyhood of injuries and a very good chance the will be tapped up by players/agents of the big clubs. Ok for Jose its great, but for us fans? its much better they stay under the radar IMo

I assume a mod would have to organise the collection as they would have contacts. I'm in for £50

i was keen for us to go in for Lukaku but he is a disappointment. he seems to have lost his drive and power

such a sterile atmosphere,

how about us on here getting the money together to pay for it to be cleaned up?

what scum,both sides have these idiots

He was at the BIC last night and gave a good performance. very funny and good off the cuff stuff. Some Southampton girls were loud and a bit Pikey

I remember when you didnt know the teams numbers, the draw was far more exciting then. This goes for the FA cup as well

True to a degree, but we know that if they do get called up their heads are turned.

apparently about 12k the other night. Slowly the interest will wane. Full credit though, they are getting pretty good crowds. It also is a case that in L2 they must expect to see more positive rwesults for their team and so that is an incentive. A season or so more in L2 and the crowds will start to fall. The same would happen to us as well

a availibiliy was luck, not like you to twist wording

Crickey, you're on the ball.Are you a detective?

There were names but whether we made any contact who knows. I do remember Malky Mackay.

Bonys first was an assault. It could have seriously injured Yoshidas neck and back.

It was the best in the PL at that time.

that is superb

I'm enjoying it CB, and being a saints fan this morning is great. Let's hope it carries on,

Well MS own words/actions gave that answer, even if my own info on JRod is dismissed

is that an advert for a tranny convention ?

So tell us why the club overnight decided not to sell?

Koeman, was the best manager available at the time (although a risk) the list of other candidates made him the best by far. It was a stroke of luck that the timing of him leaving Holland. Do you think that had he not let it be known that he was leaving, that Reed and co would have even had the lightest thought of phoning and asking? If you think that yOu would think that, then why didn't we phone Mourinho .

If you believe the fans unrest when all were being sold was not a factor then that's up to you. JRod had terms and fee agreed but it was pulled at the last minute when they pulled the drawbridge up. I know this as I know someone who is pretty close to him.

The availability of Koeman was a stroke of luck. He seems to be a decent judge of players and has got the team playing. The board pressured by the fans unrest stopped MS and JRod form being sold. We sold 100m worth of players, have had 100m of. Pl riches in and spent 50-60m. I was wrong as I thought that so many new players would not gel, but they seem to have done so. We are 5 games in, let's see after 10

even when he's playing he runs his hand through his hair. That ref was right, he really has changed
