SW5 SAINT

Chelsea and United yes, but I'm not convinced Liverpool have these days that much more chance than Southampton to win trophy's.

I suppose with Brian Clough we might get heavenly intervention as well!

I thought you sign anyone anytime you wanted, you just couldn't play them. I may be wrong though.

I hope if he goes it's anywhere but Liverpool. Deluded arrogant …………………………….C'mon Citeh.

They obviously think his value will rocket during the WC. The arrogance of them.

To be fair that was off the back of the sale of their star player.

A few years back I seem to remember Wham fielded an ineligible player( Tevez) all season long , and escaped any playing sanction.

Do we really want half the Saints first team away on international duty this summer. I certainly don't.

This. How depressing and predictable it is all going to become.

This is a discussion board, strangely enough. I think the article is absolutely spot on.

Well they are giving you a rest these days. LOL

This is one sure way to make our currency worthless…...

Not sure they would be. Not really sure what actually constitutes a small club, always thought it was the population of the city or town the club was in. Population of Bournemouth is nearly 200,000, not much less than Southampton with a population of 250,000. If Yeovil were to reach the premiership that would be small club.

Anybody else got mixed feelings about the weekend fixtures. Saints win and we hand Liverpool the title and the skates a million quid…..

Like Coleen Rooney and her mates…………..

Come on City or Chelsea, I don't mind which…..

It should be Cunard……...

That Brighton thread almost mirrors this one!

Will it be the first time a club of that sort of "magnitude" has dropped into the conference?

Bit of a come down for Norman Piper, to selling burgers

Don't forget Osvaldo

I think people are confusing squaddies with booties (marines)

I heard a comment at the weekend made by the Port of Southampton Ambassador, that on the back of their raised profile through owning Southampton. The Liebherrs have made an additional £400m worth of business world wide, since the takeover.

Is he still playing?
