The MLS is like the Last of the Summer Wine of football You look through the list and see all the greats you knew years ago, and itr answers the question of 'Didn't he used to play for.' A nice bit of nostagia. They go here after West Ham have turned them down for being too old. I note that BWP is on juuuuuusssttt a little more than Ibrahinovich. Perhaps there are a few that could do a ...........sorry, can't say it with a straight face.

I bet he's on a bigger wedge than he ever had in this country though

Ahhh, Godwins Law strikes again and we are only at post #27

The trouble is we are not comparing apples with apples. WE can tout anyone we want, for any price, and don't have to include any add ons at all, or consider wages. Signing players in the real world isn't jst about money, it includes many things like if the player wants to join us, who is already here, what his future plans are, the manger, the part of the country we are in, family pressures. Don't forget, we have nothing to loose going on about who we want, the club this is their livelihood.

******. Didn't even that. Not fair

With these two allogation against Everton shouldn't we launch one as well regarding Koeman.......and chuck one Liverpools way for VVD?

Same here. Hopefully with an unchanged team and no forced substitutions we can push on and win this. Like our intensity at he moment and hope Hughes has found his team and formations now.

So, which one of you wrote this? I didn't find it balanced at all, just another rant that could be made up from the posts on here. The point of Southampton Football Club is that it is a business in the entertainment industry. It's job is to provide a profit to it's shareholders. It's business is to generate an income from it's product which is playing football. At the moment the product they are producing is slightly lacking but with an upheaval over the last few years, we will only know after a few more games if the latest changes are any good for the long term product. However, I will throw something into the mix here. How may of us were afraid we would be relegated and were relieved with us finally staying up? Isn't this roller coaster of emotions what we pay for, and support saints for? On a scale of 1-10 who had the greatest emotional uplift, the Saints Fan who found we were saved from relegation or the Man City fan when they won the league by a country mile? The entertainments industry is build on emotional content. People don't watch an action film just to see the hero win in the first half hour, and then spend an hour high fiving all around. People pay and choose to be scared, frightened, feel terrible, feel joy and to laugh their socks off, and watch films where the hero doesn't even win at all.. We enjoy the highs and lows of the season, even if it ****es us off no end. But we also have to be realistic. A great manager at one team can be **** at another. A striker who scores for fun in one league can, as we know to our cost, fail to score in another. The club can only wee-wee with the phallus it has got. There are managers and players that will not come to us, and that we have no chance of signing, there are some that se us as a stepping stone, some that see us as a last chance saloon. And please, don't forget that there are some, and I like to put Danny Ings in this, that will play their socks off for a team that is close to their heart. So what is the point of Southampton FC? It gets us talking and sharing opinions on here for a start.

Isn't there a law against that now....wehey!!!!!!:lol::rofl:

Yeh, the trouble is he got caught in the 'not helping police with their enquiries web',(which has a name, I can't recall it at the moment). It's where the 'CLEVER ONES' think by not giving a specimen of breath, identifying the driver, ignoring letters etc. they can 'GET AWAY WITH IT' the law actually punished you worse for doing this. So he would have been better by not ignoring the letters, employing a solicitir and either copping for it, or letting them know who was driving at the time. Also, no doubt, the Magistrate wants to send a lesson to normal 20+ year olds in their 50k cars. Hopefully he'll learn and others will learn too.

Can I have my fiver back please?

My problem is reversed Not only did it renew, it did it again the following week.

I voted. Never got anywhere though

Thanks I do try.

THAT'S WHAT WE WANT!!!!!!!!!! HOJJJJJJJJJJ

Southgate: I have a problem Steve Holland: Whats that, Boss Southgate: I need to choose a left back and it's between Ryan Bertrand and Luke Shaw. Holland: Well Ryan Bertrand puts in a good shift, and has played well lately. Southgate: But Luke Shaw had that good game recently and plays for Manchester United. Holland: Yes but Ryan is consistent, has a good head on him. Calm in a situation. Southgate: Yes, but Luke Shaw plays for Man United. Holland: And don't forget, Ryan scored a screamer of a goal at the weekend. Southgate: Yes, there is that. But don't forget, Luke plays for Man United. Holland: And Ryan is a general on the pitch, a good back up captain, and has plenty of experience playing AGAINST some of the best in the world. Southgate: Do you know what, Steve? You put forward a good case and helped me make up my mind. My decision? Both Together, (With Holland in a sarcastic voice): The choice is Luke Shaw........because he plays for Manchester United. Southgate: I'll just go and phone Sir Alex and make sure that's alright with him. Holland: He doesn't manage Man United anymore. Southgate: I KNOW THAT STEVE!!!! I'm not bloody stupid. No, I mean the England team sheet.

No they didn't They said he was playing high in the hole behind gab.

Blame Jimmy Chinny Hill

I could finish that in 3 weeks..............but for them, and the risk of -10 point deduction.................7 months!!!!!!

All I can say is that it's alright to say, 'Huh, smacks of desperation' and 'needed one for a long time' etc. But who is to say that we haven't been chasing our targets and just not getting anywhere? Also, as he is playing for his 'team', who is to say he wont up his game for his 'team'. I can't play for **** but would try and put in a shift for saints if I had to. I welcome him coming, at least we know he has perm experience. Lets hope eh? That's all we can do.

British you mean, Boyo

Because it is so easy to criticise, so difficult to create. We will have a tough season, but this doesn't just link to the loss of class, it's also to having a team rather than 11 individual players who understand the plan. This is waht Hughes is paid to do, and to get them to play the best formation to fit their strengths, and to cover our weaknesses.

They did well enough I think this was a success and they are just starting. They are young enough to be at the next world cup and hopefully they will learn from this and strive further. I wanted to see this, a team of youngsters play their heart out for their country and each other and we got that. Roll on the Euros

+1 If Fat Sam was still in charge I reckon he would be still in the team.........and we would have been out a week ago.. I feel that even if they don't go through the next stage (and I think we.will)this has been a successful world cup for.us.

Nah, I don't believe it. Inside information says that Saints are looking at other options and Hughes won't sign as he is only being given a sultry amount of transfer funds and nothing from player sales. Smoke and mirrors, I tell you, smoke and mirrors from the Management. where's my tinfoil hat? Les Reed is stealing my brainwaves.:lol: Good to see, hopefully, some stability now and a bit of building.
