Cedric is off during the summer? Pied becomes 1st choice and AN Other is backup? I'm just guessing really.

Andy Carroll has scored 2 this year.... #MLG'd

Huddersfield have signed Terence Kongolo on loan http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42544446

There should be some sort of social media campaign, probably twitter.....get fans tweeting @SouthamptonFC with continual questions asking if we have sacked him yet. It would start trending to some degree and would be picked up by most media outlets online I would imagine. Could use #sackhimnow Just a thought.

This. I've never really rated him anything more than a good player to have on the bench. His stats are shocking for the role he plays. Said it many times in this forum.

Look at the teams hes played for, look at the position he plays in, then look at his assist and goal stats. Redmond gets picked regularly as well.... The rest of your post, like mine, is just your opinion.

He's nearly 33 now... but remember...at 28 years old (arguably the prime of a footballers career) he signed, on a free, to a team that had just been promoted to the prem. Being free, you would have thought that teams would be queuing up to sign him, yet we managed to get him. And, it appears, that no one has tried to sign him since.

So why havent they tried? Look at his goals and assists stats, thats why.

Asier Garitano at Leganes

Would want to agree, but when have we ever seen this happen in football...just wont happen unfortunately.

Think the other problem with Shaw is that he lacks the intelligence to take his game further than his natural ability has already got him. Hence Mourinho's "his body with my brain" comment.

The company I work for are looking for 1 (maybe 2) Service Desk Analysts..... Working for a large, well known, multi national company based in Southampton City center. Would suit someone looking to start a career in IT, or someone who has a couple of years experience and wants a change. Must have a confident outgoing personality and happy to speak to people over the phone, face to face etc. The below link IS NOT the advert, but a guide on the job description: https://www.planitplus.net/JobProfiles/View/194/134 If you, or someone you know is interested, then please email your CV to mdjw76@hotmail.com and ill forward it on.

Do you get a cup for being top of the pressing league? Does it get you into Europe?

Id go for Talisca at Besiktas (on loan from Benfica) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WUNXekHleA

The utter contempt VVD is showing the club and the fans is shocking. However, if the fans start making it difficult for him to be here and boo / give him abuse, that will play right into VVD hands....the club will feel they have to sell as A) He wants out and B) The fans want him out. He is probably one of the best players to ever play for us, and I still think you could play him in any position and he would probably be the best player at the club in that position, but we now need to make a f%cking example of him. Sell him (abroad NOT in the UK) and use the cash to sort our squad out, or let him rot for 5 years and get nothing for him - Id be happy with either outcome.

Apparently, Daniel Sturridge is the toughest opponent he has faced....honestly, not long before the c4n7 is parading his LFC tatt around on social media. https://thisisfutbol.com/2017/09/blogs/van-dijk-sturridge-is-the-best-striker-ive-played-against/

Already been told....on page one.

IMHO - If the Saints Trust was a proper entity, and not just some busted flush once used to get minor celebrity status for a few individuals, one of the things they should have been in was making sure the atmos at SMS was up there with the best. They could have organised "themed" days, arranged for song books to be printed, whipped up support in the local press ans on social media. An opportunity wasted.

and this yours...

Its the SFC wannabe hanger-oner's that seemed to have their noses put out the most by Cortese.

People STILL thinking Davis should be in the starting XI

Why, how did that directly affect you. I couldnt give a monkeys how he did his business, it was what was going on on the pitch that was important. As someone else said, our ambition went the day Cortese left. When your club is based on a model that every part is interchangeable, and most players see it as a stepping stone (one good season and Im off) - then its hardly any wonder that we have lost all sense of The Southampton Way...whatever that was. We have no identity whatsoever, we are literally just a feeder club for "bigger" teams. It seems the club are happy to buy cheap and sell expensive...and just keep ticking along like that.

Weve got to be the only club where "New" investement....actually means "No" investment. Also, keeping hold of a contracted player is hardly a massive achivement.....he was under contract, we were hardly batting bids back left right and centre, and plenty of other clubs kept hold of players that wanted out - so I wont be slapping anyone at SFC on the back over that. Appreciate that keeping hold of players in the past has been tricky, but they shouldnt be applauded just becasue VVD didnt go. They also have spent 15m on a player who we probably didnt really need. 6/10 - Could have done so much better.
