Last year of his contract isn't it? I don't think West Ham will get much of a transfer fee on that basis

That's the contradiction isn't it, we played more first team players than West Ham but we also looked disinterested. Scienza took his goal well but I worry he's slowly morphing into Ryan Fraser (both in appearance and dribbling style)

Millwall look excellent at the moment, I think they could be this seasons "Coventry", settled side who failed in the play offs but ready to hit the ground running Very comfortable wins so far away to Bristol City and home to Norwich. They won away to Cambridge in the cup last night despite making 10 changes Big challenge for Tonda to set us up in a way to compete, I'd take a draw if offered now 3,008 sold out away end coming down, still loads available in the Saints end

Apparently Saturday games the players arrive in their cars, eat at the stadium etc , for some reason midweek games they prepare at the hotel and travel on coach together to the ground, not sure why

Certainly seems odd, we're missing him big time, Bragg seems a good lad but didnt get a look in tonight

Yeah over the 90 minutes the gulf in class was alarming. No midfield presence they just brushed us off the ball and took control. Defence was very poor. End of the day West Ham (players and fans) just looked like they wanted it more , no complaints with the score

Just playing hard to get

Yep, local independent business runs it as well, money much better spent

Interesting viewpoint, having a look now and ticket sales look very slow for the Pompey game , been on sale a week and other than Northam wall doesn't look like that many sold, particularly either side of away end, think midday Sunday people just can't be arsed with it at such an expense.

For Ramsdale I was told last year that Newcastle fully covered his wages and the loan fee covered our installment to Arsenal for that season so that at least recouped 1/4 of the transfer fee.

Yeah I wont even try to understand it, its a uefa thing over 3 year period? I've seen mention they need to win our net spend trophy to bring them back into line but makes no sense compared to what some other teams have spent especially with income from high Prem finish and winning Europa league

Clearly they are hoping we fold and accept their bid by panicking they are going for the other mush instead Don't fall for it Saints

Please DM @Turkish for more details , I believe he's looking to take advantage of Southampton Pride being on this weekend to redirect their march to the Ted Bates statue and boost our numbers

Agree nice to hear perspective and he seemed like a sound fella, but West Ham fans are ALWAYS moaning, they moaned about David Moyes not being good enough for them after delivering a European trophy, their expectations are well out of sync with the reality, that said I thought he over-played the issues they have - i still fancy them for a top two finish.

Very good point, I think they do that due to the tv cameras being in the Kingsland so hope the crowd looks better for the tv audience who can't see the 6000 empty seats along the perimeter
