Whether he has improved players or not is a matter of opinion but we are dull as dishwater to watch most of the time and if I were a neutral I certainly wouldn't pay to watch us and probably wouldn't bother turning on the tv.

Funny to me, Silva seems much more a "Southampton Way" type manager than Puel.

Against City I was livid because we just rolled over and let them tickle our tummies. Last night was altogether different, alright we were well beaten but at least we looked like we deserved to be on the same pitch as Chelsea,

Puel is SO negative! We can't match City or the likes, for the quality of player but to give them a game you have to get right in amongst them, not let them play at their own tempo and give them half the pitch before making any sort of challenge. As soon as our back four had the ball they were on us cutting down options. That is what we should have been doing. Under Adkins, Poch and Koeman we defended from the front and that always gave us a chance of seizing on a break down. With yesterday's tactics we were beaten before we took the field!! And don't get me started on his substitutions!!!

Get the feeling we'll be playing this one a damn site more frequently than the other one, over the next decade or so!!

Get on at Winchester, southbound and get off at Brockenhurst, then change platforms for Waterloo.

The outdoor bars are pretty quick IMO.

I've already given up hope of getting one!

Don't agree with that! He probably won't be a regular and certainly not a captain but he will get his chance for England.

Play in the JPT/FLT for Saints, get an international call up!! Lambert, Lallana, Fonte. Schneiderlin, Antonio and fastest of all McCarthy.

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport Not expecting any "big" ones at #saintsfc today - Rodriguez to stay is big news for me & Cuco on/off to #EFC may depend on finding a RB Like 1

I just hope he is not another Tin Man. Signed with an injury that he never really gets over!

More clearing the decks. BBC Solent Sport ‏@solentsport · 4m4 minutes ago #saintsfc defender @JordanTurnbull_ has left the club permanently after joining @Coventry_City on a three year deal.

Yes but the ticket exchange thingy is in operation.

It's nothing to do with our sponsorship. Completely separate initiative with the FSA. Pity they're not subsidising our away ticket at other grounds though!!

Off to Everton???

Club tweeted earlier that only around 100 tickets were left.

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC · 2m2 minutes ago GOAL: #SaintsFCU23s 1-0 #AFCB U23s (@SamGallagher40 5) Gallagher scores from close range after Olomola's cut back. #saintsfc

Mid 60's to Mid 80's, amongst others; No 8, O'Brien, Chivers, Channon, Boyer, Channon again, Moran, Curtis. All strikers. No. 10, Melia, O'Neill, O'Brien, McCalliog, Williams, Holmes, Moran, Armstrong. Mostly midfielders.

Not for us oldies!! 8 and 10 were the other way around. 8 was 2nd striker from inside right days, a la Mick Channon.

Should have been 43 after that over-shoulder kick against Man U was ridiculously ruled out for offside.

For a Saints fan it was truly a JFK moment, everyone knows where they were when they heard the news and probably all thought it was a wind up at first. I was at Tech college in one of the portacabins they used to have between Chantry Hall and Central Hall. Not much studying was done that afternoon.

Who went to the "Port Cup" fixture v Hamburg at the Volsparkstadion that summer?

Byram.s foul on Betrand was much worse but Betrand didn't roll around the ground half a dozen times and our players didn't steam into him like Nobel did to Wanyama. 3 points, f*** off West Ham!!

Seems to be a deliberate strategy, playing school kids in the 16s, 16s in the 18s and several 18s in the 21s and the 21s not ready or close to the first team, out on loan.
