Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

Let's see where Saints are at the end of the season. It won't be in a promotion place!

Do try and keep up. Tonda was cheating last season. He's been found out for what he really is. A bang average manager.

People who think that this team is going up are utterly f'ing deluded. Tonda's been rumbled and should've been given the boot in May. Maybe people will start to realise after 10 games when Saints only have 4 or 5 points.

Ballard with a contender for the goal of the season.

I still can't believe that people think Saints will be promoted. We're in worse shape than last season and now have 10 days to find 2 new CB's, a midfielder and a proper striker.

Errr, he was found guilt of cheating last season. If you think he only did that for 3 games then you're deluded. Give it 10 games and you'll see how f**ked he is without his 'spying tactics'.

Ratkov has already said that he doesn't want to come to Southampton.

With THB expressing his desire to leave that's now two new CB's we need. A CB should have been top priority this summer. Now we need 2.

We haven't got. hope in hell of making the top 2 and I honestly think that if if the playoffs hadn't been expanded we wouldn't make them. If we do get in it'll be in 8th place. We got a point at Watford last season, this year we got nothing so that's us 5pts down on last season already.

Shocking start. On paper a very strong team and they looked shite. Jack Steph ns shouldn't be anywhere near that team and the first signing saints should have made this summer was a CB. The game should've been like a cup final with Saints looking to undo the -4pt start in the first 2 games. We drew at Watford last season and lost this year so we're already 5 points down on last season.

Anyone who thing that this team is going up automatically is deluded. My preseason prediction was 9th or 10th. Based on what I've seen so far they'll be lucky to make the top half of the table. I don't see anything changing with Tonda on charge. He made a mockery of the club and ruined the fans dreams. Shame on anyone who thinks that was acceptable and should be forgiven.

I'm totally with you. Tonda shouldn't even be at the club. He'll be found out this season and hopefully he'll be gone by Xmas.

Finally got around to chatting to a couple of mates who support Man City. The general opinion seems to be that he's very inexperienced and that expecting him to be the goal scoring solution for a team looking to get promoted is a huge ask. Both said that they thought he'd be a useful squad player and that it'll be good for his development but they're surprised that we haven't gone looking for someone with a bit more experience.

Really disappointed that we didn't make a permanent move for Gelhardt from Leeds. He did really well at Hull last season and apparently, he's available for less than Bristol City have just paid for Ballard.

Wherever Archer goes, I predict he'll score at least 15 goals this season.
