St Louis

Do you think the kits could have a nod to our '76 (cup run/winning) kits? It's the 50 year anniversary next season.

Southampton 1991-93 Limited Edition ‘Black Flame’ 24 hours left on this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135609641497?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=hfWCxW-bQkK&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=hfWCxW-bQkK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

If you are leading in a match, you are in a 'winning position', surely? The game isnt won by all means, but you've been in a winning position and then lost that lead.

I don't support his attitude if he's just downed tools and is showing a bad attitude, but I imagine the scenario behind the scenes is this.... He's born and bred in Brentwood, which is less than an hour from Ipswich. I'm sure it would have massively appealed to go back that way (and the right side of the M25), probably for family reasons and happiness outside of the game. He also spent 15 years there as a youth and first team player. It always felt to me like he reluctantly joined us on a permanent (he grew up a Hammer, so probably really wanted to break in there), but he came here late in the summer window as he seemed to like Martin and his style of play. So I imagine he's hating every second of being here at the moment 😂 As I would if I wasn't a fan, with no choice of club!

Not that Redknapp ever needs an excuse, but he didnt come in until December (I think we hoped he could 'wheel & deal' and pull some rabbits out of the hat in Jan), but the rot/damage was already there... much like this season!

Am I reading too much into this, or is Juric basically saying he's not likely to be here next season when we inevitably get relegated? From today's presser... "He comes on loan, he's a good option for us for these few months. He was very good for Bodo and for the national team. He's trained with us today, I think he'll be more of an option for the next game [than Newcastle]."

I'm not convinced that Edozie will fancy dropping back to The Championship (especially with a club who supposedly didn't treat him great last summer), given he's playing Europa League football. Anderlecht are currently 3rd in that too, above Man United, Tottenham, Roma, Porto, Ajax, Galatasaray, etc... so I expect he's quite enjoying himself away from us

Top scorers in the group and averaging 2.5 goals per game... how refreshing! They seemingly defend in a similar way to the first team though.

That’s the spirit 😆 Maybe Rennes needed the money, and/or maybe he fancied moving to a bigger club and a nice payrise?

Sorry if I've missed it, but where was Jack Stephens yesterday? Total Saints Pod said he was eligible to return for Boxing Day, but he wasnt even on the bench. Were they wrong? Was he injured/ill? Or did he just not make Ivan's squad? I havent seen anything about it anywhere.

I'm not saying this is true (and in actual fact I doubt it myself as it doesnt make sense to me), but I have heard from a decent source at the club, that we have had discussions with Man Utd about the possible transfer of KWP to them in this Jan window. This may explain why we are bringing Wellington in now.

Doubt it. I know from first team coaches mouths, that he stinks the place out, and has done since the last relegation season. The club are desperate to be shot and he's desperate to leave.

Is Tyler attempting to escape relegation or just escape the club?

What a strange way to look at things, is that honestly how you feel? You only want to attend when its the good times? I love going to watch Saints (win, lose or draw... although the wins are far more preferable and enjoyable!) I think the games sell out, because like me, many enjoy the whole 'day out' and catching up with family and friends, as much as just the game itself (often more tbh and the game ruins it). I wont stop going to watch them just because the last 16 weeks have been a bit sh*t!? I've committed too many years and am wedded for life sadly... and didnt realise there was an option to just dip in when things are good (as I wouldnt have attended much over the last 40 years if so!) 😉
