That's if we can find form in the Championship!!!! Havent put any team to the sword this season

Happened years ago when the were losing to Wimbledon last day. I think were 2 down but Dons keeper dived over the ball for their winner lol

Im all for the black box and the info it spews out but you are at the mercy of who is in charge of the info. If they are a poor judge of a footballer they aren't going to get the calls right

It is all relative. I get what you meant, but typical of being a Saints fan we seem to have got a pauper billionaire lol 😃

Billionaire as in singular cannot afford to spend £126m out of that wealth, and may not be cash rich. If you have savings of £1000 and take £126 out of that for a hobby, whilst it doesn't cripple you, you are inhibited a tad. Especially a football club where yu are not likely to make a profit, especially how this gang run it!!!!

Are you saying that Ralph should have been kept on and the results from the last half of last season and the first half of this were ok? RH is part of our downfall, he oversaw the crumbling and poor results week on week.

In your humble opinion of course, lol.

I doubt this £126m has come out of Dragan's pocket as I dont believe he is massively wealthy. Therefore has this been put onto the clubs debt? If so it is alarming as our revenue stream is going to be reduced rapidly once we get relegated. Also if Dragan is not ultra rich can he keep bailing the club once this happens? Worrying times, and I still wonder if Martin Semmens regrets the choice of bidder for the club

Danny Ings! To think that we didnt think he would be an important signing in Jan

But the Euro super league would not be a case of them leaving our league. They want their cake and eat it, as they still want the PL riches. My understanding is that they would play in both and want the PL reduced in size

Perhaps they couldn't see for looking. May just have tripped into a decent manager, but all the goodwill could be gone at 5pm tomorrow. It disappeared last Saturday when he gave out his first team sheet for some lol

I assume he's at a glory hole in Pompey there

and that was a slice

Posted on here being the important part lol

The owner is Serbian, may have burnt his national flag 😃

Southampton Football Club Established 1885 consistantly ruining peoples weekends ever since

Perhaps, just perhaps, we have a bang average squad and its hard to find a team that is solid out of it. Even a laundry couldn't get a clean sheet from this bunch.

Oh just when the managerrubbish had beenpapered over, lets hope he is a better judge than us

I think it is because the abuse he would take.

I wouldn't trust MLT to choose anybody after his debacle when putting forward the people to take the club on

I din't start this thread to give Semmens a kicking as I truly believe he is good at his job, just he made the mistake of selecting the wrong consortium, ok a major mistake but he did it for the right reasons and how they set their plan out.

Hadn't we beaten them at our place, or lingering sores of Paine and the boys kicking them a few times. I do recall reading Johnny Giles and Terry Paine disliking each other a great deal

Yep one of many humiliations in my days being a Saints fan. They were lucky as we couldnt get near them and by the time of the real p-take I think we were demoralised

Are we 100% sure the money isnt leveraged and the club has taken those debts on? My understanding of Dragan is that he is very wealthy, but is he able to splash 100M just like that? We have a squad without a dominant centre back, who clears the ball and everything else or a centre forward who does likewise at the other end. No midfielders who do the dirty work. I am not knocking Lavia or JWP in that but we need scrappers at this time and we dont have a squad equipped for a fight. I so hope I'm wrong but how many are prepared to get the ball in the face to stop a goal. ( I respectfully suggest that the freekick by JWP at St James our players would have ducked, unlike the Newcastle forward)

Thank you for spending time doing that. My first game was watching Saints v Leeds at the Dell I think it was 1968, it may have been 1969. We lost 3-1. Then of course we had the Revie teams, in the main we did quite well against that lot. Bremner and Giles had a real challenge with our 'robust' team lol. Im not going to mention the game that BBC always flag up, now that was taking the........
