Football Special

Well I know where to come to do my Christmas shopping this year 🎅

Their fans still pop up commenting on any saints related social media post, very odd. Unfortunately they are about to go 5 points clear at the top of the table so we'll see plenty more smug posts from them

We play so many games i dont see it as a number 9 back up. Just sign a number 9, tell them they compete with Larin for the spot. Plenty of games to get minutes, but at Larin's age a few knocks can rule him out with longer recovery times, to be honest this spell on the sidelines now is a warning to Spors

Is Downes now one booking away from a suspension? I expect he'll pick one up vs Preston, miss the Derby game then be back for the more physical contests against Sheff Utd and Middlesbrough

Agree 2nd half we were impressive, need to carry that on Talking to other fans there seems quite a bit of complacency, "at least we're playing Preston Saturday" Yet our two defeats this season have come away at teams who are 19th and 20th in the league currently

Yeah its weird. West Ham fan i know who always gives decent assessment told me when we signed him that he'd dominated teams at youth level thanks to his relative strength and physical condition but now he's in men's football will struggle to have the same impact, hard to argue with that from the games ive seen

Preston drew at home to WBA a couple of games ago, can't be complacent especially with our key players missing

Also concerning its not happening to squad players , its our main men. I know last season Tonda amd the analysts were obsessed with medical data and managing minutes , smaller squad doesn't give us that luxury as much now

West Brom unchanged from their.win at West Ham West Brom win with Morgan to score anytime seems likely , only 2.6/1

We've played other teams this season who have had "injury crisis", well I'd say we're in one ourselves missing our 3 best players. Even Larin's new back up in Dobbin doesn't make starting XI so we'll have to hope Mubama shows more than he has so far. Can certainly see why WBA are favourites with the bookies. Hope for a 0-0 Larin and Jander arent even training at the moment mate, will be after international break

Good news for us, he's needed here not at a month long mid-season tournament, long may political instability continue in the Middle East 👍

That is quite annoying @St Louis I thought you were going to collect ideas from some of the more articulate posters on here and stroll into the FAB meetings with the elevated status of wearing the SAINTSWEB representative badge I'll add it to the fab feedback link later and also mention my disappointment in your tardiness

Yep 100% , I actually doubt they'd have brought much more than 2k on a Friday night anyway Its same allocation we gave them in play offs They'll give us the minimum 2k as well

Interesting, on basis we can't give extra tickets to our fans its just a waste of seats, probably to pacify the fearful FAB , we NEED MORE SECURITY TO FEEL SAFE https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2026/november/03/ticket-info-for-southampton-away/?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVW9k5jbGNrBVb2OGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEfQCm_8nmeEK6bSBnxhjhracSZkXAL73pPG4Jb_QOJp8DuQyO-zTYNJyYD5p4_aem_xAutL3qNTvcKVln6QHzmwQ

Nice one, makes sense, he wasn't even training for us last week so genuine injury
