  1. Can’t fault the skate for tenacity
  2. Jordan’s perspective is out of date. Might be right might be wrong but it’s from a moment in time when he had the opportunity to look in detail. It’s also just his perspective. Doesn’t mean it will be As he said debt isn’t an issue as long as you can service it and I don’t believe that Kat and Chairman would write off millions of their asset value for the sake of servicing a debt. The cost to service is possibly no more than Lemina and Hoedts wages in terms of trading and player movements it makes next to no difference. We still have to sell to buy and hopefully we can get this part of the model working again as it being broken for the last few years is why we are where we are. The money can give us the time to get back on track livramento is a £40m gift that we should enjoy whilst he’s here

Easy access to international travel and the capital. Better climate than many areas https://www.centreforcities.org/publication/southampton-city-centre/ Fundamentals and masterplan for growth are in place Southampton has been in the top three growth cities for a quite a few years now and has an opportunity to consolidate primarily by being the regional office hub that the area lacks with significant new office developments in the city master plan Portsmouth - Southampton metropolitan area population - 1.547m (Tyneside - 1.599m, Liverpool - 2.241m) Not denegrating the north in anyway of course
  4. Personally I want to learn and understand the tactical analysis better than I do and for me TWar's insights and perspective is interesting and helpful. The suggestions that there's nothing new is probably correct in part as, after all, it's a game that's been around for a long time and if you have the best players (most money) you will tend to come out on top more often than not. For me it's an appreciation of the application of tactical changes and strategies to get the best out of what you have and to counter the opposition. A game plan maybe rather than the St Marys cry of "get it forward"
  5. We're unbeaten in 6. Dont see why that shouldnt continue
  6. Lighten up ffs. We (all of the team and subs) played well but ASM is a top player and so difficult to defend against.
  7. Who was in goal for our “4th in the league calendar year”?
  8. Really enjoyed that. I'll subscribe
  9. Good post. Thanks Interesting how Vest has gone from donkey status to colossus in a couple of weeks
  10. Exactly... No one moans on here Ever
  11. Golden Joystick??
  12. I'd be happy with Brandon Williams on loan and Thomas Delaney 🤞
  13. Just want to clear something up that's been on my mind regarding the hangover from last season. It's been quoted many times that the second half of the season was very poor and this is an indicator of our mind set and how we're going to perform in the coming season and I'd sort of accepted this because that's kind of how it felt but the form tables show it was a little different to how it felt Last 6 matches - we were 14th in the form table Last 8 - 16th Last 10 - 14th Last 12 - 14th (roughly the last third of the season) In comparison Everton were 15th (6), 11th (8), 12 (10 and 13th (12) I'm not saying we're world beaters but we're not certain relegation fodder either. We've lost Ings but I'd argue that the rest of the squad is bigger and stronger and we're not carrying the fatigue or injuries that we had in the second half of last season
  14. I'm sure the club would like to keep him but the effects of the lockdowns etc have made it more likely that we will have reached the edge of our offer but in my view it isnt as simple as if a better offer comes in then he will go. The worst case for us is if an offer doesn't happen and he doesn't sign a new contract. I'd like to think that he wouldn't do that but I guess he wants to maximise his income an opportunities for the remainder of his career. When you hear him speak he is clearly an intelligent man so I am sure that he will see the benefits that playing under Ralph has brought to his game and reputation, after all he was seen as a pretty big risk when he first came and didn't really to get going until he scored in the Portsmouth game. I'm sure he will understand the Ralph effect and it will be a factor in any decision he makes. It would help with our case if we finish top 6 or win the cup (both are possible) but if he goes then I'd be reasonably confident that Ralph can coach an incoming player to a high level. He's done it before after all. It might be that Danny has benefitted more from the coaching than he thinks?
  15. Imagine if they had lost 4-0 at home Mind the gap
  16. Leon Osman and Tim Cahill pundits on MOTD. 550 appearances for Everton between them. Nice balance that
  17. Jack Cork? Just saying..
  18. Armstrong is playing as a number 10
  19. A Tottenham analysis of PEH https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com/2020/7/21/21329155/tottenham-hotspur-transfer-analysis-hojbjerg-winks-midfield
  20. That is brilliant. Thank you
  21. Since Jan 1st we've scored 15 goals. 4 of them by Ings
  22. Take it easy mate. I’m not a doctor and don’t know about flu deaths and symptoms but it’s clear that your statement that the people who have died are elderly with underlying symptoms is not true in all cases The doctor who died may or may not have had underlying issues but he certainly wasn’t elderly
  23. Like the 34 year old doctor??
  24. Nice to see another derby victory last night against their higher league opponents. Portsmouth Ladies 0 Southampton Ladies 2
