Reminds me of when Delap chose Ipswich over us. You would have thought they must have been willing to offer whatever Spurs asked (fee and salary) whereas we were probably slightly more pragmatic about it. As funny as it would be to gazump them it sounds like we will have to move onto the next target

Wasn't fitting for a World Cup Final, not in the true sense. Argentina for all their available talent decided to shut up shop for 120 minutes and take a chance on a penalty shoot out. They came quite near to actually accomplishing that. Would have been a farce had anyone other than Spain not won that game yesterday. The overall tournament has been fun in parts but nothing at times like past competitions at least in terms of true excitement. Hydration breaks, half time glamour shows and celebration music. Too much americanised shit for some viewers. Holding it in three separate countries was always a risk but thankfully Mexico and Canada venues didn't feature all too often. The best team won it you can argue but thought France were the most complete team in it until their semi final exit. Up until then they really looked set to win it. There were maybe too many teams participating right from the start that spoiled things to an extent and some of the kick off times were awkward for those outside North America. The whole competition seemed to drag on such were the number of nations involved but feel in a sense relief that its over and we can return and focus on domestics in the UK leagues. Even now I'll not understand how Cape Verde escaped unbeaten in the group stages including both Spain and Uruguay and very nearly went on to eliminate ex holders and champs Argentina in a next round contest.

I'd like to pay my own respects if I may. When did he join Southampton, 1980 or thereabouts. I was at early primary school back then and don't really recall his time there but can imagine older fans of the club must possess great fondness and excitement of his time involved over there. His passing seems too sudden. The cancer news was only released to the public a few months back but even now it all feels too quick to take in. You're right when the BBC didn't give a mention, I saw the omission myself. That's not fair at all allowing all other involving club names Keegan was with but leaving Saints out. Don't know or understand the reasoning behind that. Someone should ideally offer an apology. Take the opportunity to provide condolences to Kevin's immediate family and those closest. Game lost a true great today. I only wish I were a few years older to have seen him play like some can remember and allow proper plaudits and recognition the man would deserve.

We’ll have to wait and see what the fee is once it becomes reported. Based on the Azon reporting and the Dobbin signing we’re clearly happy to spend £7m-£10m on supplementary players. But there were rumours of Spurs wanting £15m-£20m for Lankshear, so let’s see..

Yup. Well worth going to see.

I had never watched him play, far, far too young for that. But he's revered and so many have great stories to tell of him, so I've read up on him. To think we once had players of such a calibre sign for us. RIP

RIP Keegan - a true English legend. Disgusting that the BBC managed to completely overlook his time at Saints in this evenings news piece.

Why did they choose him over Baz?

We need to wait for another fortnight.

D-Fence for Wes.

The press conference at the pub that night to announce we had signed him was just amazing. Never to be forgotten. Little old Saints had signed Kevin Keegan. I was 14. What a time to be a Saints fan. RIP Kevin. Thanks for the memories.

Watched a video. Apparently they haven't got as much cash as thought because city get 20% and the money they get is in four installments.

Someone to feed Larry the cat 🙂

Which shows you how little they knew about what made him tick. It was the challenge that made the success that much better - the move to Hamburg, to us, or to Newcastle were all unusual. He was happy to take the roads less travelled, and that made all the difference to those clubs.

Great memories of the Kevin Keegan Soccer School as a nipper. Full red, white and blue KK kit and black Keegan Kid boots with orange stripes. Thought I was the bees knees! RIP KK

Yes, I was coming on here to say Saints completely airbrushed out of the Keegan story by the BBC…

Salech at Cardiff would be my choice, cracking player. Saw him a couple of times last season as a mate is a season ticket holder there. He seems to think around £7m would be enough

Rayner and housing is somewhat ironic! Streeting just going in - what’s unfilled in the bigger cabinet positions? Defence? Energy?

BBC news at 10 spent about 10 minutes talking about Kev and his career yet not one mention of his time at Southampton !!!! RIP Kevin, thanks for the great memory's, you won't ever be forgotten at Southampton. ❤️

Messi escaped a red card when he stamped on the Algerian. That set the tone for looking after Argentina right through to the final, even to the point of a ridiculous five minutes of injury time on the incident-free 15 mins of extra time. FIFA has much to explain.

It's always "their year" too which is odd as it never actually seems to be... 🤣

Having been there, it is a bit wanky. Lots of bridges I seem to remember with the ship canal.
