You clearly have never seen me play. I would make Tommy Forecast look good!

Or the Argentine "Adam Lallana" in the squad alongside the reall lallana, with a link to the Lionel Messi page...

I know it is never a 100% reliable source but usually wikipedia is pretty accurate. I just took a look to see if there was any information under Southampton FC for the latest debutant Sam McQueen. There is as per the link below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton_F.C.#First-team_squad but also if you look, there is no Schneiderlin in the squad, but there are a few names of players (Kamara, Deeney, Johnson, Cabella,Necid etc) of players currently playing for other teams????????

I think Cortese and the Liebherrs could afford to charter a plane to allow all Australian Saints to make it to at least a couple of homes games each year!

The Punch loan deal still hasnt been confirmed. If true you would hope that a replacement that is of a superior quality like Sinclair or Banega has already been lined up

Cant see this confirmed on the OS, would be a shame, after his initial clashes off field with management he had a good season. Is a reliable player off the bench. Only way I can see this happening is if Sinclair is already being lined up to replace him in the squad.

I think in Cortese we have a very astute businessman. In MOPO we have a very well respected coach that both current and potential players rate highly. The revenue from Sky alone is sufficient to pay the wages and transfer fees. Additional revenue is then gained from gate receipts and merchandising. Wage bills are being tightly controlled and a number of surplus players have been released, helping to manage the wage bill even if not re-couping transfer fees, A completely different scenario, structure both in terms of stadium and staff compared to our fishy friends down the road

What a brilliant signing, a real statement of intent from Cortese and the club. 4 quality signings this summer now (if you include Shaw signing)

Apparently so, from the BBC website : The Premier League responded by saying: "We have absolutely assured him the process is random and above board. He has accepted those assurances." A league spokesman also confirmed that Moyes had put his concerns to them directly. :

Complained to FA that Man U are playing Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea in first 5 games!! Firstly I wouldnt be too worried about playing Liverpool, they are certainly not a top 4 team. Secondly Saints played Man Utd, Man City and Arsenal in first 4 games last season, they didnt win any of those games but certainly against the 2 Manchester teams turned up and gave a very good account of themselves. Quit moaning Moyes and get on with it

By the way is the player in the home shirt in the team photo about 8ft tall, or is the keeper particularly short?

Keep these up for the season please, they have been great!

I think I am slightly injured too! I put injured twice in opening post!

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/roy-hodgson-hamstrung-by-lack-of-fit-england-strikers-8749141.html Again plenty of injured England strikers injured that Woy cant pick from. How many "English" strikers outscore Rickie last year....?

I watch A-league games live - but the quality is very average. I have family links back in Scotland still so still look out for the St Mirren scores each week (my other Saints)

The "Yanks" in question actually have Andy Roxburgh as director of football, the former Scotland Manager, you would hope he knows the difference.

Mid table safety this season and a good cup run in either cup

The home kit looks much better without the sponsors logo on it as worn by the under 21's in the photos on the OS.

good back up player maybe? But then with Mayuka, Lee and Sharp is that what Saints need?

Or perhaps some of the people on here are just a little slow.........

Bilboa/Athletico Madrid are sponsored by Nike not Adidas.

Looking at the pictures from the club website from yesterday's training the training lit looks pretty good at least.

And people wonder why we get the tag of whingeing poms!

He was a bit of a fan favourite for saints too- got player of the year I think. Too old? He is only 31!
