Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Chelsea are our feeder club now...

Sam Johnstone: West Brom and England goalkeeper left out over 'internal issue' - BBC Sport

Newcastle's strategic transfer plan to bid for anyone who has ever played football continues...

Or maybe they won't (at least not yet anyway)...

Looks like a Broja bid is imminent... 😂

Not mentioned directly here in this from the Mail (via Sky) although we could be "among the clutch", I guess. Surely if Brighton and Burnley are the size of clubs interested, that wouldn't rule us out (if we actually want him)?

I guess we don't yet know how the takeover will really affect our ability in the transfer market. It would be a departure from our usual style of buy but, if Ralph thinks he would fit in and he could get him firing again, I think it'd be worth it. Whilst Dragan says he won't be spending £500m on players, it would be nice to think we could fund the right players in terms of wages and eventual transfer fees, if we felt it the right thing to do. It might also send the message we're not quite the debt-ridden paupers we used to be.

To provide some context, is your name Mr Robbie?

Linked again with Alli here. Alasdair Gold is apparently the "Tottenham Hotspur correspondent for football.london" according to his Twitter profile.

I know it's all about who's been lumping the money on but interesting to see the odds shorten dramatically nonetheless?

If we are really interested, let's hope Dele saw the "Dele Alli, what a wanker..." chants the crowd aimed at him at our recent home match with Spurs as just a bit of 'workplace banter'...

Armando Broja: The Ronaldo-inspired youngster who is soaring at Southampton - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60018970 Decent article on the Beeb about Broja today. 👍

Another Sali update. I like this one more so I'll believe this one.

I think we might see a Saintsy style last minute deal, if the right player becomes available. Maybe the young forward from Hull, Lewis-Potter?

Something for those of us living east of Portsmouth to bear in mind when driving to the game on Sunday. 😕

https://theathletic.com/news/fifa-announces-new-loan-rules-to-clamp-down-on-player-hoarding/wuM4m5NzCPic/ I wonder if this might be a factor for players like Broja in the future? If clubs can only loan out 8 players internationally then fewer going forwards, it would see some players not in the team effectively stuck, which is how they are hoping to stop clubs like Chelsea hoarding, I guess. Must surely work in our favour?

Letting in 2 injury time goals to lose against Spurs has done nothing to diminish their love for Vesty...

Is this the best comment from a Leicester fan on Jannik since he left? 😂😂😂

A tenuous link to Federico Gatti from Frosinone in Serie B. "Chiellini with Bonucci's feet", His chairman has done a good job of talking him up... https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/01/19/chiellini-with-bonnucis-feet-southampton-rival-juventus-for-9m-bargain/

Scored against us at the end of last season if I remember rightly. Looked promising in that game.

Taken for granted by me as he's done it so often! 😂 Bloody brilliant hit.

Leaving the ground now and can't help but feel that was a missed opportunity. I know we beat Brentford with that line up but the shape felt wrong against Wolves. We had nothing on the right and Tella gave too much space away there. KWP had to start really. As a back 3 we look disorganised and we didn't have enough up top to retain and create. Redmond was diabolical and we are desperate for a no 10 who can unlock a defence. Thought Adam Armstrong did well when he came on and gave us someone who was dropping deep and turning at the defence. We also lacked urgency which was surprising, even at 2 down. A strange of mix of lethargy, the wrong setup and a feeling of a missed chance really.
