Seems a pretty fucking simple "no" from every single Premier League player and every single Premier League agent.

Well exactly, we don't know what we asked for - we might not have asked for anything.

Well it's not actually a "draw" because there are loads of considerations in play. The random element is quite a small part once all the conditions go into the fixture computer. Making their last game an "uncontroversial" opponent is not unreasonable request. Exactly the same thing happened 20 years ago at Man City when we did them one nil in their final match at Maine Road.

Obviously I already know who we've got first game. Let's just say it's an "interesting" opponent and leave it at that.

TAKE THAT DRAGAN SOLAK

Russell Martin masterclass from England so far.

Happy Days.

I didn't make any comment about "your mental state" for laughs or emojis or anything. So fuck knows what you're on about. Personally I think Southampton Football Club are more than capable of building a squad that stays up this season without wasting salary on 36 year olds.

I find this stuff infinitely more deranged than people moaning about how he acted the twat when he left us. Adam Lallana is not some footballing megastar with a mystical aura. Just an aging journeyman on his next pay day after an incredibly nondescript stint at his last club.

Feel free to point to one poster who thinks he's going to play any more than "not much". There isn't anyone. That's the reality. But I do agree with your general point though - the people who think this is a great idea are indeed stuck in 2014.

I think that is exactly the reality under discussion here. Even the most enthusiastic pant-creamers don't think he's going to play much.

A little bit revisionist I think. Walcott joined us for the season we easily avoided relegation and we got to Wembley in the FA Cup semi. It wasn’t that torrid and it was not a club "in terminal decline" at the point of his signing. We'd finished 11th the season before. The season we are going into is a far more certain relegation battle than the season Theo re-joined us. Far more.

They're getting six here minimum the way this is going.

I don't see the point of him doing a photo shoot with a kit he'll never wear. Surely just stick a scarf round his neck.

The world may not be shaking yet But you might prove them wrong. Even long shots make it.

Feels utterly pointless signing to me. Squad number and wages pissed away.

Absolute madness that we haven’t tied Che Adams down to a long term deal before he lights up Euro 2024.

To be honest that feels a bit revisionist itself. A last day shop window match is not a great benchmark

Brighton are the perfect football club who make perfect decisions and have already achieved more than Southampton ever have or ever will. Yet another 100% correct decision from Brighton. They don't make mistakes, they will invest and grow and invest and grow and get better and better and better for ever and ever. I wish we were Brighton.

Caught napping with our trousers down ONCE AGAIN Cannot believe the dither and delay we are showing in not signing some goalie we've never heard of. Signed for the club he's just spent the season on loan to RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSE* FFS

We're a Premier League team now, so surely you'd prefer Wanyama and Morgan in the midfield. It wasn’t an accident that Hammond got binned on promotion.

Um, personally, if I am going to die in a nuclear holocaust, I would rather go knowing that at least we did stick it to the fucking (eg) Russians first. What an exciting four hours that would be.

Just like Koeman to Barcelona. They haven’t got the job because of their managerial record. Do you reckon Rob Edwards from Luton is in the frame for the Real Madrid job? hE gOt tWo mORe pOiNtS than Burnley

Honestly it's just SaintsWeb paranoia that is making Russell Martin walk out on us to go to Brighton. They won't want him, he won't go. Not going to happen.

Aw, bless x x
